It’s that time again. The flip-flops are coming out and there’s a feeling in the air that winter is slowly but steadily leaving us. Indeed, spring has arrived, and with it all our pent-up passions for enjoying the outdoors and indulging in our favorite warm-weather pastimes.
For the 21-and-over crowd – especially in a town as socially-charged as Los Angeles – this means looking their best and heading out to popular outdoor bars and cafes, with absolutely no shortage of such spots given LA’s reputation for being a “gratification capital.” If you’re planning on being out and about in the Woodland Hills area this spring and need a guide to help find the best outdoor bars, you have stumbled on the right blog.
