The Scene – With sweeping views of the city, Downtown L.A.'s classic hotel dining and drinking destination is where you're head is sure to spin before your first drink. Old-school chic reigns supreme at this revolving dimly lit lounge. Once per hour, patrons are treated to a 360-degree view of downtown as smooth sounds emanate from the speakers. From the spicy pretzel mix to the Miro-inspired lighting fixtures, the BonaVista is a living testament to the more subdued side of the 80s. A steady stream of easily amused locals and hotel guests revel in the kitsch and house-special drinks,…

Great View!
by psboston7
A friend and I went to the Vodka bar it was fabulous! Our Bartender "Allen" was attentive, creative and was playing very good vibing music. They have a HUGE selection of Vodkas and serve complimentary amuse-bouche which for this evening was Salmon topped with Cavier on Toast Points on a bed of herbed cream cheese DELISH!! We ordered the Seafood Trio for 2 and enjoyed the delicate Lobster, Oysters, Crab Claws and Lump Crab YUMMY!!
Can not recommend this place enough the staff is wonderful and the view is spectacular perfect place for a intimate date with someone special or an evening for you and your friends to just hang out at a nice bar... which is what I was doing!

Wonderful View
by Rakala
I am a LA native and this is a great place to see the city scape, especially at night. What most people do not know is that you can order the drink without the suveniour glass and the price will be dropped down, pretty significantly on most. ;) I found this out quite by surprise because I didn't want some glass when I live here anyway but still wanted the drink. Hope that helps a lot of you!!
- Pros: Beautiful views, revolvs
- Cons: a bit pricy

Nice view, decent drinks, sub-standard service
by schattenmann
The one big argument for going to this bar is the view of downtown LA (certainly less spectacular than the view from the top in some other big cities, but still very nice). Anything else is average at best: the drinks are OK, the design is rather dull. The service oscillated between being slow (waiting long for a hostess to show up) and the kind of speed that makes you feel like you are the 100th boring guest this evening. In terms of social scene, we may have picked the wrong night: it was after the USC-Texas Rose Bowl game, so the place filled up with "Longhorns" dressed in orange ...
My advice: If you have visitors from out of town, go there for a round of pre-dinner or after-dinner drinks and pick up one of the souvenir glasses. If you are looking for a nice bar, go somewhere else.
- Pros: View
- Cons: Service, Atmosphere

The Extras:
The glass elevators used in the movie "True Lies" zip you to the 35th floor and offer spectacular views as you emerge above the atrium roof.
Parking:
Valet in the underground garage and have the hostess validate it for a special low rate. With the Bonaventure's location, lot and street parking are difficult.
