Love the View
by troywarkentin
This place is very hip, you feel like a super-hero standing on top of the building...
- Pros: Vibe, decor, view
What a DUMP
by DrGregHouse
This is one of the most overpriced dumps in all of L.A., if not the worst. It's overpriced and ugly as sin. I mean, who on earth decorated this place? How do they sleep at night?
Just horrible. Absolutely horrible. Someone should put a lid on this sh!thole and be done with it.
- Pros: I didn't jump off the roof
- Cons: Everything
An embarrassment
by Antera
I have been here a few times and had a great time. But I do not intend to bring any guests here again. It was embarrassing how curt and surly the door staff were. As if we are doing them a favor to spend our money here. And believe me, guys, this is not just leveled at you. The attractive women are getting the same attitude. That is why there is a line of guys waiting to get in and no women are around. The staff have to learn to treat people with a little class. No way will I be coming back.
- Pros: great view
- Cons: horrible doormen, rules rules rules
Great View
by Nirali2009
I love this place. This is one of the best bars in downtown. Sometimes it is difficult t get in on the weekends.
- Pros: amazing view
- Cons: crowded
Great Hangout, Gorgeous View, go on Sundays!!!
by iluvroger
My favorite place to hang on a Sunday Night. Its not too busy, cool couches and fireplace, decent music but mostly a great place to spend some time with friends and enjoy the cool LA nightline. I havent had any bad experiences with doormen, but I recommend trying the back door (take the stairs instead of the elevator) to avoid any rush.
- Pros: The View, Decent Drinks, Nice Atmosphere
- Cons: $$$ Parking, Occasionally Bad DJs, Small Dance Floor
horrible
by ohclementine
What a waste of a view! Music is pop and old at that, the drinks are overpriced, the wait staff is rude and it's full of wannabes trying to look cool. It's bad. Go somewhere else, trust me!
- Pros: bad music and drinks
- Cons: everything
Downtown Standard Roof
by alantgray
The view is the reason to go here. The drinks are drinks, but pricey. The waitress are good looking, but like to serve some attitude with the drinks. Customers look like they're trying very hard to be cool. Bouncers don't like to let guys in, so I only think about coming really early or on typical dead nights. I don't wait in "Velvet Rope" lines anymore. Come to think of it, I haven't been in a while. After you've taken in the view a few times, the rest of it just gets old really quick.
- Pros: Great view of downtown. Good DJs usually.
- Cons: Difficult to get to the roof if you happen to be a guy.
ROOF BAR
by TrealTalk
This place is definitely one of the better places to eat outside...Great spot. This and Club Sushi are my two favorite places to eat outdoor because of both of their scenery.
You have to read this, I would not have believed it if I had not seen it myself!

Well I got to this place and stood in the line, I saw the scruffiest looking door guys I have ever witnessed one looked like he was some homeless guy, you get better dressed men on some back street strip club than was here (not that I have been to one ;) ) anyway in this line were groups of girls groups of guys, hotel guests and couples, the doormen all they kept saying was we just want groups of girls dozens of groups of girls over an hour standing there were being sent up stairs, he would also send up couples and occasional a guest of the hotel if he chirped loud enough would be sent up, but no single guys.
Well you do not have to be Einstien to work out couples are fine upstairs but single girls in groups are either A going upstairs to meet guys or B going to simply just look at guys.
So now what these idiots have is loads of girls upstairs and couples and no single guys.
Sure enough less than an hour later the same groups of girls were coming back out the club and walking of I asked one of the girls leaving why and she said its all women and couples up there!
The doormen are a joke at this place the hotel is a joke the doormen are disrespectful and scruffy and have no problem having customers stand there for hours with no intention of letting guys in.
A big group of people leaving the club, my friend said as there is no one here now and a big group is leaving can we go in? The idiot scruffy doormen said wait there maybe in an hour I cannot guarantee we need girls right now. (You need them idiot because they keep leaving what you running up there a white trade auction?)
Avoid this club like the plague and take the advice of people here that say you will waste your night
- Pros: None
- Cons: You will waste your night
ABSOLUTELY THE WORST NEW YEARS VENUE IN TOWN. PERIOD. UNPROFESSIONAL & DISORGANIZED!
by emilyinLA
ABSOLUTELY UNCONSCIONABLE !!! One thing I should say for the management of the hotel and the rooftop bar, IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A PROMOTER LIST AND CHARGE VIP ENTRANCE ADMISSION- THEN CLEARLY INDICATE THAT FACT ON YOUR WEBSITE / ADVERTISING!!!! It is New Years Eve and there are people that are looking forward to go to your venue, dressed up and waiting in line, thinking that they are going to have a good time and you ruin their evening. THAT IS HORRIBLE and especially on New Years eve to do that to anyone is WRONG. If VIP entrance would have been offered on your website, then it would have given everyone EQUAL OPPORTUNITY- But no, your club has to use patrons to line up at your venue an give an "exlusive" appeal. Sorry, but there are better venues in the city that did not lead people on. So ladys and gents...don't bother about coming to this place, because they clearly do not respect your business....
- Pros: Lobby Bar was good.
- Cons: Unprofessional, Disorganized Management.
