Bartenders and cocktail fans raised their glasses Saturday at the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards to recognize Los Angeles' The Varnish as the Best American Cocktail Bar.

Founder and owner of The Varnish, Cedd Moses, took to the stage at the rowdy New Orleans awards ceremony and claimed the title a victory for the city of Los Angeles.

"Seven years ago I came out here and everybody was laughing about the bars in LA," said Moses, the Los Angeles Times reports. "And I said I was going to do great cocktail bars in LA. The redemption is good."
