17 Best Speakeasy Style Bars Los Angeles Has and How to Get Into Them

A post shared by The Red Door of Toluca Lake (@thereddoortl)

In the small alleyway behind Paty's Diner and next to Michael's on Riverside, there's a tiny red door (get it?) that leads to one of the Valley's best-kept secrets. With dark red booths and silent movies playing on the wall, the vibe at the Red Door is more subdued than rowdy, and that's exactly why we like it. There is a food menu, but it's pricey, so eat beforehand, and come ready to drink some excellently-made cocktails.
