The Varnish
Mixologists handcraft custom cocktails at this dark, moody speakeasy hidden behind Cole's bar.
We would love to host your private event! Speakeasy hidden behind Cole's, Originators of the French Dip in Downtown Los Angeles. The Varnish features meticulously constructed cocktails made with passion and precision by some of the city's most lauded bartenders. Housed inside a refurbished storage room in Los Angeles' oldest public house -- Cole's The Originators of the French Dip Sandwich restaurant in downtown L.A. -- The Varnish pays tribute to both classic and updated cocktails with a focus on thoughtful service and hospitality. Classic cocktails are our specialty. We have a seasonal menu, but we offer a wide variety of off menu cocktails for the curious palate. We also offer a small selection of beer, wine, and sipping spirits. Let the bartender know your preference of either spirit base or balance and allow them. We have a database of over a thousand recipes to choose the perfect cocktail for your specific tastes.
