This swanky Silver Lake boutique brings the cocktail culture of the sauced generation back to Los Angeles, serving up a triple shot of barware accessories for amateur mixologists citywide.

If it holds the sweet elixir of life (and is not a plastic party cup or a bottle of liquid courage), Bar Keeper sells it. Rocks, tumblers, snifters, highballs—all the classics are here, along with campy curios like Renaissance faire goblets and psychedelic hippy flasks. Much of the vintage stock comes from the 1940s Thin Man collection, but there's enough contemporary glassware to keep the new school from going dry. But bumbling butterfingers and designated drunks should probably stick to thrift stores: A set of four martini glasses can cost 50 clams here. Owner Joe Keeper also sells novelty barware accessories, lush literature, old-timey drinking games like dominoes and cards—and there's even a metallic ice chest shaped like a bowling ball for knocking back a few drinks. And come on, how many places screen soused cinema classics and offer free WiFi on the back patio? Three cheers for Bar Keeper, who's got us suffering from Rat Pack envy. —Jon Sattler
