The Bar Journal

A craft cocktail bar crawl at the Original Farmers Market in L.A.? Yes, such a thing is possible, thanks to the opening of Mixology 101 at Planet Dailies,  the second location of the Planet Hollywood restaurant concept. With Short Order just around the corner, cocktail enthusiasts now have two Farmers Market imbibing options within walking distance of each other. While the new Planet Dailies isn’t open 24 hours like its Las Vegas sibling, it does have Mixology 101, which features a cocktail program created by Salvatore Calabrese (aka “The Maestro”). The acclaimed bartender’s latest venture is the eponymous Salvatore at Playboy, in the heart of London’s exclusive Mayfair. Mixology 101’s head bartender is LA’s own Joseph Brooke, who oversees a menu of 40+ cocktails divided into eight sections:

Champagne Cocktails, Classics, Pre-Dinner, Martinis, Short & Sublime, Long & Luscious, Non-Alcoholic and After-Dinner.

A bar called “Mixology 101” is going to have its skeptics, but with its high profile, central location between the Original Farmers Market and The Grove, Mixology 101 is going to attract plenty of traffic from tourists and locals alike.

The approachable menu, mixed with classics and signatures, along with a well-curated spirits list, will keep them coming back.

Mixology 101 is now soft open, with a grand opening scheduled for April 2012
