Editorial Review for Bar at the Standard – by Stephanie L. Smith
In Short
Every inch of Andre Balazs' Standard hotel is an exercise in surreal chic--from the scantily clad woman sleeping in the glass case behind the front desk to the fish hanging from the lounge ceiling. Lounge gracefully at the tables inside or saunter out to the inflatable couches in lobby, which is carpeted floor to ceiling in white shag. You can enjoy sweeping views of the entire L.A. basin from the Astro Turfed pool deck, which is usually draped with fabulous and bored young smokers.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasIf you're too schnockered to drive home, nab one of the surprisingly affordable rooms (they start at $99).
Know Before You GoYou can host a unique soiree at the Standard's private bar and lounge--it even has a separate entrance at the side of the hotel. Pool a bunch of friends to share the cost; it makes a great spot for a birthday, holiday party or New Year's rager.

First we had dinner at the restaurant downstairs and later on we went up to the hotel's deck bar. It was a Tuesday night, around 10pm and the lounge and bar were pretty much crowded. The cozy arranged lounge offers a fire pit, a pool and various nooks and snuggly spots to settle back and relax with a stunning view overlooking downtown. During the day patrons and hotel guests are invited to hang out in the pool. Take a sweater with you it could get chilly at night.
Pros: Ambience, view, crowd
Cons: Private events on weekends, over priced drinks and menu
