I absolutely loved this place and will definitely be going back! I went at night, and the atmosphere and the view from the rooftop were amazing. The service was also pretty fast. As for the drinks, I had their Long Island, carrot margarita, and paloma. All three were excellent and tasted wonderful, but the carrot margarita was my favorite. The people I went with loved it too, so be sure to try it when you're there. Overall, this was a great spot to hang out with friends and have a good time. Whether you want to dance or just sit and chill, you can't go wrong coming here. read more

Hi, I don't usually leave reviews, but after three separate visits, I felt it was necessary to share my experience. A group of my friends and I have come here three different times, really wanting to like this place because the atmosphere is beautiful and lively. Unfortunately, each visit has been consistently disappointing due to the same bartender--a shorter male with visible tattoos and facial hair, who seems to regularly work one side of the bar. On all three occasions, we experienced being ignored while trying to order, even as other guests who arrived after us were served first. The first time, we were eventually told "you guys can wait" in a rude tone of voice while he continued taking other orders. The second time, we were never helped at all and had to move to another part of the bar, where a female bartender provided much better service. The third visit was the most concerning. When we tried to get his attention, he responded in a dismissive and rude tone, and as he walked away, we overheard him make an inappropriate comment about us under his breath calling us out of our name and we felt very disrespected so much so that we just left. We completely understand that weekends can get busy, but consistently dismissive and disrespectful service--especially across multiple visits--is not acceptable and we've also seen him be rude to other guests as well. Aside from this issue, the venue itself is great, which is why we gave it multiple chances. I really hope management can address this, as it impacts the overall appearance and experience of the establishment. Thank you. read more

Love the music and the vibe here. It's never overly crowded, but it's also never so slow that it feels boring--there's always a good energy. That said, I feel like if they added one or two waiters, the bar would probably make a lot more money. I noticed several people trying to order drinks through the busser, and once they realized it was bar-ordering only, they didn't bother going up to get another round. The drinks are really good overall. The first time I went, though, they were extremely sweet and not strong at all--we didn't even finish them and ended up leaving. The second time was much better, but I ordered wine, so that may have made the difference. The bartender wasn't very friendly, but it was busy, so that could have been why. On a positive note, the security staff was really cool. Overall, it's a fun spot with great music and atmosphere--I'd go back for the vibe. read more

I came here two times in two weeks and had the best time both times. I came with my girls after brunch for a little drink. The spot was empty, but we were greeted by staff and instructed to seat where we wanted to. The view is lovely on a sunny day. We all ordered dirty martinis, and they were by far the best in the city. Vladimir, the bartender makes one of the best if not the best martini I have ever had. My friends and I were super impressed. We'll definitely come back here for the drinks. We also came back a few weeks after for a party. And had an amazing time and the martinis were still hitting. The cocktail program overall is amazing. Shout out to all the bartenders they are super nice and friendly. read more

A beautiful rooftop bar with an intimate feel, perfect for a date or a night out with friends. Service was warm and welcoming and they have some interesting cocktails. Bonus points for the $8 photo booth. There is metered street parking, but the nearest lot charges $12 if you'd rather not deal with finding parking. read more

Beautiful views and awesome fun. Definitely needs some more vodka choices. I love that it is a hidden spot. The flower power sign makes it fun to find. Security is always nice and we feel safe. Parking is scarce. You park in the lot where the address tells you to go. Then look straight ahead for the building in the alley with the flower power lit up on the window. You show your ID, go up the elevator and arrive to the floor. Everyone we meet here are always so friendly. We always have a good time here. Not sure why it only says one check in. Sometimes Yelp doesn't pick up my CHECK INs. There was no wait time however the place is packed. We came here the first week it opened and again last week. WAIT TIME:                5/5 HOSTESS (ENTRY):     N/a FOOD:                        N/a       SERVICE:     5/5        SERVER NAME: I can't remember if it was Guadalupe or if that was at another place but she was great OVERALL CLEANLINESS:       5/5 RESTROOM CLEANLINESS: 5/5.

randomly stumbled upon this bar and omg best decision ever!! The ambiance itself was well worth it. We came on a Sunday afternoon and it was so lively, the staff, the costumers, the DJ, everything was so high energy. The DJ played a mix of Latin, R&B, and a lot of reggaeton which I LOVED. definitely knew how to work the crowd. On top of that the view was sooooo beautiful, especially during sunset!! The cocktails were also so tasty and worth the price. Can't wait to come again! :) read more

Florentín Rooftop Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ambiance: this trendy rooftop bar is located in a hidden building in a narrow alley, once you walk through the parking lot, you'll see a security guy checking IDs, then that's the entrance of the elevator to the 8th floor, cool vibes with very loud music, overpacked and people bump into you easily, quite a few smokers around, and by California law they weren't supposed to smoke in the public rooftop bar, and there's no sign for designated smoking area and no staff to stop them Service: slow and disorganized, you'll need to place your order at arch shape bar table, and there's no clear lines, and bartenders would just pick up people randomly with no orders Drink: simple menu items with few specialties Persephone - *** Flor de Caña 4 yr rum, pomegranate, grapefruit, lime, egg white, lemon twist, very sweet drink Spicy Yuzu Mezcal - ** mezcal, yuzu, jalapeno, chamomile, activated charcoal, tajin rim, overly salty taste Price: overpriced for the drink quality, honestly not worth $25+ per drink, including tax and tip, although it's unfortunately the downtown price. Overall, I don't think it's worth it here, there are a lot other rooftop bars with way much better night views and drinks at similar or cheaper price point in downtown read more

Wow!!! This venue is incredible with picturesque DTLA views. I came here for a CoreLab event and honestly the space took my breath away. Upon entering, you're greeted with a charming emerald green and gold bar and spacious balcony. The comfy seats and amount of room to move around really elevated the event. But to get here, it's somewhat hidden through the back street behind Broadway. There's two parking lots that are closest: the small one on Spring Street at the venue's elevator entrance or the large underground valet parking on Broadway and 6th Street. I went with the underground valet because it was the first that I found, charging $5 per 10 minutes and a max of $17 per day. The Spring Street one was $12 max and is the only entryway to access the small alleyway before heading to the elevator. I liked how they had a security guard by the alleyway to help direct folks up to the eighth floor. The building itself is pretty clean and once you're up on the rooftop, the views of the Jewelry District are incredible. As for the cocktail menu, they have a fun variety to choose from. read more

Cute ambiance definitely a vibe pay 30$ to park in a janky parking lot was crazy!!! But at least you get in for free. Came on a Friday we had a waitress but she disappeared. Which is fine it did get busy... drinks were pretty pricy but to be expected when you're in LA. DJs were playing good music and overall was a cool experience and vibe. read more

Florentín Rooftop Bar - Mango sticky rice milk punch. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here for a friends birthday and was pleasantly surprised. The lot directly in front of it entrance is pretty much the best spot to park. You enter from the ground level in the alleyway. The guard was very friendly and personable and that always sets the tone for the bar! Upon reaching the top floor, the elevator doors open directly into the bar. Apparently you can bring your dog until about 6pm, but I didn't bring her that day knowing I will be out for longer. All of their drinks are unique and delicious. Unfortunately the mango sticky rice milk punch was already sold out, because it is so popular. The carrot margarita tasted like actual carrot in the best possble way. I was also able to try some of their food which was actually good! I don't usually eat food at bars because that usually isn't what they are about but their margherita pizza actually hit. Hopefully I can make it back when it is less hot because I was dying in that sun. read more

This Rooftop Bar is a hidden gem in DTLA! The entrance is lowkey and feels like a speakeasy, but once you're up there, the rooftop is gorgeous. We had the Herb Caesar Salad, House Marinated Olives, Charcuterie Board, Margherita Pizza, and Broccoli & Ricotta Pizza. All amazing, especially the handmade pizzas! Drinks were just as good. We had: Florentini, Spicy Yuzu Mezcal (spicy but so worth it), Melon Raspberry, and Carrot Margarita. Perfect spot for sunset vibes and dancing later at night. Can't wait to go back!

Parking - not ideal in downtown though several paid lots/meters are nearby Reservation: not needed Vibe: alley entrance behind a parking lot but once on rooftop, beautiful night views and elegant decor with nice plants, flowers, and lighting Service: was provided menus promptly at the bar and drinks had quick turnaround, didn't need to spend forever to wave down a bartender Drinks: mango sticky rice punch had such good mango flavor that didn't taste of alcohol though it was definitely there; spicy yuzu mezcal well balanced; florentini with mint, lime, and cucumber was strong with sharp herbal and refreshing notes; prickly pear margarita on the sweet side read more

Rooftop bar vibes inside DTLA. Came around for late night drinks - you get in via a door in an alley, then up an elevator. Had a tropical drink - was pretty delicious. Vibe was better than last time, with some Latin music and a crowd but with enough space to have a proper conversation. Would come back if it's like this vs the first time I came (perhaps they sorted the sound / bartending situation since then). read more

Florentín Rooftop Bar - Mozzarella sticks and martini .. perfect - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Rooftop bars are a thing---- not like Iphones are a thing, but they are totally a staple in party and cultural spaces for they provide space and view that enhance a night to new heights, pun intended. I ended up at this bar with some people I was getting to know, and the bar was definitely a character of the night because it only provided background to the gathering but it also played host, character, function, and perspective which conspired to make the night great and popping. I went to this bar on a foggy night. When the night shrouded the famous buildings of LA's downtown, the result was a visual spectacle that bordered on the noir and mystical--- in a phrase it was sophisticated spook, like a dress made of the finest webs of spiders working for Morticia. There is a building with a red light pattern across its top edges, with same patterns above the green lights. It was obvious that the colors were an ode to Christmas, but the fog and chill of the night were an ode to the mystique of a dark witches presence. It was not exactly material fit for a Night Before Christmas, the moment was not cartoonish, it was more, like I allude to above, chilling in a beautiful way-- like a kiss from a vampire that promised safety in his bite. Florentin is found by walking into an alley and then into a building that feels like you are walking into your warehouse shift. Seriously, you enter an LA building that does not have charm or style, it has the feel of a workplace- barren in white. Then one enters as service elevator, with the mark of Florentin--- a flower in neon green. Except that the glow of the neon was completely muted in the elevator door. Then one goes inside and arrives at the rooftop and discovers that rooftop is not part of a hoax, it is a destination that required traveled through the mundane to arrive to! When we got there, the party crowd was still light, makes sense the sun was still kind of out, but not really, we arrived when the sky was light gray. In one of the pictures, from early in the evening, I captured the gray sky through a window, an exit sign refracted through out the pane, and twinkle lights that seem to exist out of the pane, within the pane, and behind the pane, like the lights were hanging above the streets of LA. The lights were within Florentine, but the sparkling result existed everywhere, at once. It was the moment where magic became ordinary because of how light reflects of a shiny surface. And for those who are wondering, I was giving a prickly pear margarita (which was fantastic) and I sipped it. So my evaluation of the lights was not seen by margarita goggles. The group of people I was with also ordered food. I did not try everything that was order but I know for sure I had pita bread and hummus, with something crunchy on the side. This specific snack plate was a great munch-munch especially with cocktails all around. I would go back here knowing I would drinks and snacks that are both worthy of being called taste and engaging to picky eater. The space is huge. We were on the side, near to the bathrooms in this funky couch that had a giant cushion that divided the seats as if a snake was laid in the couch. Meaning that the long stretching cushion was a slither shape, so one person sat in one side of the flat S while another person sat in the next. I had to turn and put my elbow on the cushion to speak to a person right next to me. I took a video to show the shape of the cushion. One can sit in the roof top side of the joint.It is the 8th floor, so one will see buildings close but will have too look up to them. It is from this spot that I captured a picture of a bright and fully active tiki steel heater. The red of its flame let me wondering if it was a true flame or one manufactured by gas and not coal. Beyond the standing torch heater, one see's the One Wilshire building with another building in the background whose tip was lighted in green, a wonderful nod to a Christmas tree. In the same picture, one sees a round shaped building all in white. I am not sure if it was lighted in a Christmas way, but it gave solemn star energy. And again it was made more chillingly beautiful by the fog covering its glow, like a braided veil covering the light of a new bride's eyes. And, right in front me, were chairs and plants. On summer nights this place would become a tropical escape. But for now Florentine became a space to admire LA buildings, sip sweet cocktails, and know that Christmas can exist outside a gift box, or a lane covered in reindeers, and can give space to beauty that chills, and air that does the same ! In general, I can see how this party spot can light up on a Friday night at the party hour. When I went, it was a time to observe the space from afar and from up close, and savor its offering. I think I accomplish all of that---- which means that I experienced a roof top bar before it tilted into full party swing! read more

This is the newest rooftop gem in LA! I was dinning about a block away and needed to find a nearby rooftop bar and coincidentally Florentin was the closest one. So lucky!! It's a little hidden but you still can't miss it. We came in on a Saturday at around 8 PM and there were a few people but it does fill up closer to the end of the night. There is an indoor section and an outdoor section. Stunning rooftop views, maybe plan to catch a sunset sometime! The drink menu has to be my favorite- they have something for everyone and plenty of options if you like a fruity cocktail. I haven't been obsessed with a cocktail in a minute. Think like Death & Co. menu but the prices are actually reasonable. Service was great and the bartenders are pretty friendly. Great atmosphere all around. I love that a new rooftop bar has been added to the city! read more

Had seen singing about this new rooftop venue, and had some time, so we went by to check it out. Now, getting there is interesting. Basically you walk through a parking area, and straight ahead, on a wall, crossing an alley, is a green kit up sign. Enter here (there is security at the door) and then you'll head up to the rooftop to enter Florentine. Waking inside, the venue isn't huge, and it's is self seating, with constant chairs and semi couches. You order food and drinks at the bar, so don't wait for anyone to come to you. We started with cocktails, grabbing the passion fruit paper plane and the mango sticky rice milk punch. The paper plane comes out looking like a liquid orange vanilla drink, but it's very nuanced in it's flavor profile. It could have been a little more passion fruit forward, having it at the beginning of the drink name, but it was well balanced and you tasted the different notes involved in the drink. The mango rice milk punch was the real shocker, looking nothing like you might expect and tasting even better then you might expect. This was a truly artisanal cocktail and whoever thought it up, please take your flowers. Fabulous drink! We also grabbed a margarite pizza as you have to also try the food. It wasn't the best pizza I've ever had, with the crust being more on the chewy end of the spectrum, but the ingredients were good quality and it is a decent size for a bar/lounge pizza. Ideal, drinks were excellent, service was great, people were friendly and the pizza was decent. It may not be the biggest rooftop venue in LA, but it makes the most of what it has and is a quality addition to the LA nightlife scene read more

Came here for an after dinner drink with my girlfriend; it was our one year anniversary. Got there around 8, so it hadn't quite filled up yet, so we were able to grab our drinks quickly and find a seat along the wall. Cool, vibey spot with some good music and decent drinks! My girl got the prickly pear hibiscus margarita, which she said was good, but a bit too sweet. I had the spicy yuzu mezcal, which had a nice ratio of spice and tartness to it. She actually liked mines better and got that for her next round! The old fashioned was pretty legit too! Wish the views were a lil better; they had some shrubbery that was blocking some of it. But all in all, a pretty good place to hang and hear a good DJ while sipping on some unique cocktails read more

Florentín Rooftop Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

To all my rooftop lovers who love to vibe out in a social environment, this newest hot spot is for you and I! They host events here and you can find their weekly happenings on their instagram page. I came here for DTLA Art Night and ended up meeting amazing people. Because I enjoy being around humans, I always need spaces and places that bring them. Here at florentin the hospitality was high on love and light and welcomed me in. The decor is modern and charming. The bar area is aesthetically pleasing, obsessed with the interior designing of it! Please try their florentini and carrot margarita drinks! GOODNESS! Pinkys up! Their menu is pretty simple and straight forward with limited options on the food side. We come here to enjoy drinks anyways so all good haha. The bartenders kept my drinks full and knew how to keep a conversation going among their busyness of moving around the bar. Loved that! It was still daylight/evening hours so not crazy busy at the time until later on at night when the crowd started rolling in. It's summer time fine...so plenty of fine men and women here bringing diversity. Love love love! I highly suggest ubering it or if you're a local resident, walking it so you can indulge in your alcohol booziness responsibly! (also train stations nearby if you wanna add some adventure and save some funds) If you are the type that don't want to hassle with parking and can't control your parking rages especially in dtla area then please do yourself a favor. We need everyone in a great mood here but if you have no choice and need to drive then park in the public parking areas for a fee. They are located in many areas of downtown...don't be frustrated it can all be so simple and the entrance to the rooftop is kinda tricky but follow the physical signs. Overall, come with great vibes and gain new connections! You can catch me here at random times. read more

My review is for the bar and cocktails only since I didn't eat here. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there were plenty of seats available for walk ins. I ordered off the menu and just told the bartender what I was feeling and she did a great job. Each cocktail even better than the last. The vibes here in the afternoon are great, it's got a nice breeze even when it's hot out. Beautiful views. Great date place. I'll definitely come back and eat next time. Not the easiest place to find but there's plenty of signs and people to ask along the way. read more

Soooo cute! The Ambiance is nice. Great little hidden Gem. The service was good. I it was early on the evening, we had drinks and pizza. The drinks about 20 bucks each. Pizza about 25 bucks. The crowd was around 25 to 40(maybe). There is a DJ. He came after we left. The elevator is funny acting and you will think you were stuck but you weren't. The set up was cute and you had to walk through a parking lot to get to it. It is not cute outside but cute inside. read more

i will not go back again. I went on last weekend with my girls. Getting up their in the alley was sketchy but it was so cute on the roof. really good music and okay vibes. but took forever to get our drinks. the bartender was kept talking to other girls and took forever to make their drinks. i waved at him and he finally came over. After i ordered he kept talking to me but I was just trying to get a drink and hang with my girls. later the bartender came over and kept trying to talk to us and flirt with us. He got creepy asked if i had a BF and I said yes but he kept coming to talk to us. we had to leave and went to another bar across the street. and it was so overpriced and not worth it. I wont go back their if that creep with the beard is there. read more

Popped in here on a whim on a Saturday night around 10:30 for a cocktail after seeing a show nearby. We didn't eat anything, but a few people had pizzas that looked amazing--looking forward to trying sometime in the future. The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly and provided a great experience at the bar.. the Florentini was delicious as the namesake cocktail. Overall ambiance was good.. the music was a touch loud when we arrived, but did mellow out after a bit. The crowd was a bit younger than I anticipated, but it was a Saturday night downtown. read more

had the most incredible experience at Florentine rooftop, and I have to give a special shoutout to Des behind the bar. Truly one of the best bartenders I've ever come across. From the moment I sat down, she made me feel so welcomed and taken care of--it honestly felt like I was being hosted by a friend. Her energy is unmatched. She's super sweet, attentive, and somehow manages to create the perfect vibe for everyone around her. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction. The drinks? Amazing. The service? Even better. She goes above and beyond without missing a beat. I've never felt so looked after at a rooftop before. If you're coming here, make sure you find Des--she will elevate your entire experience. Hands down, the best service and the best vibes. read more
