L.A. Bars Shine on North America's Best List

Los Angeles just scored big in the cocktail world with two spots on North America's 50

best bars list for 2026.

Marade in Las Felas, hit number 28, and Daisy Marderita Bar in Sherman Oaks landed at

number 44.

That's some serious credit for the city's drink game.

The ranking dropped this week in Vancouver, based on boats for more than 300 bar tenders,

riders, and industry pros across the continent.

New York grabbed the top spot with Sipin Guzzle, but LA is finally flexing against heavy

hitters like Mexico City.

Folks are buzzing about this as a wake up call for LA's underrated scene.

Proving we're not just about green juices, we got mezcal and agave locked.

Down.

It's putting the city on the map for serious Sipin.

Both bars come from the same crew, with beverage director Maxwell Rice crafting the menus.

Marade mixes up smoky herbs and rare firments, while Daisy keeps it margarita focused with

fun twists and elevated eats.

Now LA's got the nodded deserves, so grab your crew and raise a glass at these gems before

the lines get too long.
