Sat atop Hollywood Proper Residences, this 23^rd floor
bar has flown largely under the radar since its opening last May.
Blissfully free of crowds,
LA’s in-the-know patrons flock here to enjoy the no-fuss vibe
and views that take in the best of
Hollywood. Spot the Capital Records Building, Griffith
Observatory and the Hollywood sign from the elegant rooftop (decked
out by acclaimed interior designer Kelly Wearstler). Sink into a
sumptuous black-and-white striped chair and watch the hazy sunset
while you sip on a punchy margarita.

The only rooftop bar in Venice
regularly attracts a lively crowd due to its 360-degree Pacific
Ocean views and guaranteed sunset vista. Hunker round the glass
fire pits and snuggle under on-request blankets during those
chillier
LA nights, glass of frosé in hand.

We bet you can’t name a more dynamic
West Hollywood duo? Climb the stairs to the buzzy LP bar for
heavy beats and strong cocktails and descend the stairs for
Asian-small plates at the relaxed EP. All you need to remember is
that LP plays longer than its tasty downstairs neighbour, so slurp
on spiked-bubble tea cocktails under neon lights and low-lit bulbs.
Steal a moment of intimacy in Frankies Bar, a secluded nook with
daybeds usually equipped with a string of lounging models.

Mama loves LA and we definitely love Mama. With its bright,
Mexican
inspired decor scattered with funky, multi-coloured sofas, its
playful vibe offers a laid-back oasis in the heart of Hollywood.
Come to Mama’s for weekday movie screenings or drop by at weekends
for a livelier affair. Arrive early and settle in for the night
with a cocktail menu that threatens to drink you under the table.
Take it easy with the rosé sangria – the made-for-sharing cocktail
is a tasty mix of rhubarb, vodka, mint, strawberries and lemon.

Wherever the
Ace Hotel goes we usually follow. The Aces restored 1927
historic United Arts Building is the perfect spot to wile away
countless evenings and weekends. Their ornately gothic rooftop,
equipped with LA’s smallest (heated) pool, draws the city’s hippest
crowd. Take happy hour to new heights and enjoy $1 Oysters and
near-nightly events, all served up under the iconic “Jesus Saves”
sign.
