Thunderbolt in Echo Park gets the attention that it deserves.
World’s 50 Best Bars, the same operation that names the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, just released a portion of its annual ranking, naming some of the top drinking holes in the country—and our very own Thunderbolt in Echo Park-meets-Historic Filipinotown landed at number 64 (the organization dropped its 51–100 list, with plans to announce the top 50 in Madrid on October 22).
Americans in general should be proud: USA bars lead representation in the (half of the) list for the second year in a row, with a total of seven destinations included, four of which are in New York.
