A bar hidden behind … another bar? Seventy7 in Culver City has the ultimate cover. An approachable neighborhood joint, Rocco’s Tavern is a reliable choice for a cold pint and a greasy slice, but a sleeker crowd heads to Seventy7 lounge, accessible through an alley adjacent to Rocco’s and marked by a sign that simply reads “cocktails.” Utter the password (consult Seventy7’s Twitter feed; it changes nightly) to enter the sleek bar and lounge. Order a sip from the absinthe fountain or a signature cocktail such as the Plaid Bikini with whiskey, elderflower syrup, Yellow Chartreuse, grapefruit juice and bitters. 3843 Main St., Culver City, 310.559.7707. seventy7lounge.com
