LAB Cocktail Bar is Santa Catalina's serious mixology room, with more than 250 spirit references behind the bar and bartenders who build to order.
LAB is the neighbourhood's deepest cocktail program, with over 250 references on the back bar, per abc-Mallorca. The range is the pitch.
Tell the bartender a base spirit and a mood and let them build off-menu, or take the signature gin-and-citrus pour. The team knows the list cold.
The room is small and busy after 10pm, so arrive early or expect to stand. The crowd skews local rather than holiday.
Who would love it: drinkers who want technique and a long spirits list. Who should skip it: anyone after a quiet seat or a view, since this is a tight, late room.
LAB is the cocktail anchor of a Santa Catalina night. Start with vermouth at La Rosa, then come here for the real drinks.
