Came to Golden Hour for my birthday and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Audreyanne was our server and she was great! The vibes were everything! This is the place to be if you are looking for a rooftop sunset bar. We had espresso martinis, dirty martinis and margaritas and the drinks DO NOT DISAPPOINT!! Golden Hour at Level 8 is a 10 out of 10 and I would highly recommend for any special occasion or just for a fun weekend spot!

I came here for the holiday event Winter Hour which was so much fun! Parking was madness because there was a game downtown that same night - but I got lucky with a spot in one of the lots. I got a complimentary drink, there was a s'mores station and cute photo ops spots. I would definitely come back next year for this.

I highly recommend bringing cash if you come here and beware of the bartenders. The first time I came here I caught the bartender taking a photo of my debit card. When I caught him and ask why he said to remember the business name on my card. Super weird and suspicious lol. I ended up going home and canceling my card the same night. This second time I came I decided to give this place the benefit of the doubt and caught the server adding herself an extra tip. She said don't worry I already included the tip you don't need to add any extra. I checked my receipts and she added herself an extra $10 tip per drink that I order. She said each drink is $30 lol. Really beautiful spot with a node view and sunset but suspicious workers. Definitely recommend bringing cash if you come to avoid fraud and also checking the price of the items on the menu before you order.

The first drink on the Winter wonderland menu I forgot what it was called

Came here after watching the game at crypto, I saw it on Instagram and had high hopes for this place. The drinks were OK, a bit overpriced. It was super crowded, which I kind of expected, but it took forever to get a drink and it wasn't that great. It looked beautiful though and the ambience and aesthetics are nice. I expected the carousel to spin, it didn't. The little igloos to make s'mores we're really cute but that was also a little overpriced too. Cute little date spot. Just expect to spend a pretty penny for mediocre music and drinks.

Overcharged me for a super greasy cheese quesadilla.
Robert R.

This place is way over priced for not so good food. I ordered a cheese Quesadilla & they charged me $18 for a Jerk quesadilla. The service was ok only & they charged me a mandatory 20% tip. Here is a tip for whoever reads this. Go somewhere else.

Main bar area

The ambiance here is pretty cool, but the service is slow and the drinks are very hit or miss. I would recommend coming up here to check out the view/ambiance if you're nearby, but otherwise this is a place I would pass on.

$100 per person
Scott B.

It's okay to visit one time but the service is atrocious. The music is decent. The host told me it's $100 total when I first arrived Then the tab came out to $100 per person. I also waited 20 minutes plus for my drink. So make sure you're getting up to check on your drinks every 10 minutes lol. Their online reservation has two different prices also. One says $100 per person and the other says $75. So which one is it and why do you have two different rates? What an incompetent management team.

Signature drink

Great drinks, amazing food, and a view that makes you forget your problems. Park at Circa Hotel for just $20 -- totally worth it for the bartenders alone (they're friendly and hot). The music? Fire. 10/10

Golden Hour is located in the Moxi Hotel on level 8 in Downtown LA. The Moxi hotel has a ton of photo opps on the way up to golden hour which is very cool. Once you get to the rooftop it is really beautiful. The chandelier carousel is classy and fun. When its actual golden hour and the sun is setting the views of downtown are breathtaking. Cost of cocktails is $22 and they charge an 18% gratuity on top of it. So you are looking at almost $30 bucks for a cocktail which is steep. However, the cocktails were pretty great. I was a huge fan of night fever and lava colada. Heads up if you have a reservation it is required to spend $100 per person minimum which is wild. Its a bummer as this is the only seating available on the rooftop. So that also means everyone is standing and crowding the bar area which can make it difficult to order drinks on a busy night. Overall, a cute place to visit in the summer time.

We went tonight and there was snow for a total of 5 minutes for the 3 hours that we were there. And there were also no reindeer as advertised in the ig reels. I would say I'm glad we didn't splurge for the igloo or firepits that were expensive and didn't have good or heating. Overall would not recommend for winter hour

Diana G.

First off, it was beautiful. I loved the bar area and since it's close to Christmas time, all of the lights looked beautiful. The service was subpar. Except one of the girls who was very friendly. The other one seemed like she didn't really care to be there or talk to us. They also gave us a menu that was outdated so we ordered items that they weren't even selling. They apologized and gave us the correct menu. The drinks were $22 each but tasted like a $10 cocktail from a local bar. I will not be going back.

Pineapple Carousel Bar
Luis C.

We came here for drinks on a Friday night as we waited for our table to become available at Que Barbaro. This place is simply amazing and has to be one of the most esthetically beautiful rooftop bar in LA and I've been to all of them. We love the entire pool cabana vibe and that pineapple carousel bar is so dope! The bartenders were polite, attentive, and just friendly provided great drink recommendations that were delicious and d well crafted. Our stay here wasn't long but definitely enjoyable and will definitely be back with family and friends!

Everything Whale Be Okay ($20)
Tiffany Y.

This is one of the bars located at Level 8 in Moxy and it has such a cool ambiance because it's outdoors. At one point when we were outside, there was even a fire dancer. I do think compared to the other bars located on Level 8, this one felt a bit more gimmicky to me. In order to get a table or cabana during a busy night, you may have to satisfy a minimum spend to reserve it. I tried the Everything Whale Be Okay ($20), which was good, but really pricey for a cocktail. You're definitely paying for the atmosphere, but I thought the one here was just okay. It also seems like the pool is never really opened here so it's more for aesthetic than actual use, which is a shame because I think it would be fun during the warmer months!

Hey, are you even 21??…read more I'm gonna need to see some ID before I can let you enter... (Moments later) You can't possibly be 21, you were born in 2005... (Counting backwards on my fingers) Oh. My. God, I'm getting old!!!! ---------------------------- Alright now that we got that out of the way.... Listen up, & Listen up Good. Cause Tonight, Tonight, I'm setting the Bar straight! Now,.... Make sure to hang onto your ID, stay plenty hydrated & be ready to pace yourself... Cause we are about to Hit the bar running and go full throttle with some virtual bar hopping. But first, let's see just how many styles of bars there really are. -Ahh the classic, no-frills Dive Bar -The Cocktail Bar/The Martini Bar -The Sports bar, The BeerGarden -The Pub, The Tavern, The Biker Bar (make sure you wear your best leather pants) -The Hotel Bar, The Rooftop Bar, The Lounge -The Night Club, The Comedy Club, The Karaoke Bar -The Tiki Bar, The Wine Bar -The hidden Speakeasy (my personal Fav.) And of course, where even at 8am there's no judgement passed... -The Airport Bar. Speaking of Traveling... Bonus: Consider yourself lucky if your hotel room just happens to have a well-stocked mini bar. (These are getting fewer and fewer as I travel) Yeah, each bar listed above has its own vibe, and depending on your mood, your own individual style or even what kind of night out on the town you are looking to have... The type of bar you choose is important. But sometimes, the Bar Chooses You! Bar Magnolia quietly enters the chat. It was October 11th, 2025 and my wife & I just checked into Hotel Figueroa in DTLA. (EPIC REVIEW Coming Soon!!!) While we were waiting for our room to be ready, we decided to check out the Hotel Bar Lounge... First thought, Color me Impressed! High ceilings, Natural lighting, classy decor, comfy couches... Yeah, take your time with that room, we'll wait! So we plopped down onto their sofa, waited for a cocktail menu, and let the "we left the kids at home with Grandma; let's enjoy being kid-free for the night begin". $18.00 cocktails....Lets Goooo!! Looking back at the Photos, I can't exactly recall what we ordered... Was it a whiskey sour? Was it a paper plane?? Honestly, Who cares! They tasted great. I was sitting across from a beautiful woman. And we were responsibly adulting. What more could a guy ask for?? I'm glad you asked! After a long car ride in, sipping on water, then the first few sips of my cocktail, I suddenly had to go... Luckily, the restrooms are located just adjacent to the bar area and DAMN are they clean!! Hey, if a bar restroom is well taken care of, you know the place has Class.... And Bar Magnolia has the Class to Match! Of course, there is bar stool seating at the bar... (I usually prefer sitting at the bar as there's always some great stories to be heard and when it time to order another round, you can literally just cut out the... Middle Man (Aka waiting for your server to come check back in) In addition to the bar top stools, there are also low top tables, and a few couch-chairs with a low top table for more intimate conversations. Besides those $18 craft cocktails, a short, well Curated list of bubbles, vino and draft beers are all up for grabs. Unfortunately, we had stopped to eat before we arrived (bad move on our part), but next time, and THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME, we will definitely partake in their food menu (cause damn, did it look GOOD!) So whether you are a guest of Hotel Figueroa, you are leaving the Crypto Arena after a concert and want to paint the town red, or you are simply just wanting to sit, relax and enjoy a nice cocktail at a classy, upscale, but not so pretentious Cocktail Lounge... Bar Magnolia is your place! Well, it's almost closing time, they are about to call for Last Call, so order us another round, bottoms up and Cheers to us!!!

Came to Bar Magnolia on a Friday evening specifically for happy hour, which their website clearly…read moreadvertises as Monday-Friday. Once there, I was told happy hour is only Monday through Thursday. I pulled up their own website and showed it to the server. The response? A shrug. No apology, no explanation, no effort to make it right. This is straight-up false advertising, and the lack of accountability made it worse. If you're going to change your happy hour, update your website and train your staff to handle it professionally. I shouldn't have to argue with a bar over their own posted information. Won't be back.

The guests, come and go and at each moment, in any corner, be ready to be surprised and entertained by a live DJ, acrobat, burlesque performer, pianist and singer. What a show! Veronica at the bar was fantastic and made us drinks just to our order. Supper knowledgable, helpful and kind. Definitely, this place is a great hangout after a meal... be prepared to be be dazzled and entertained.

Gonna try to paint the picture in as few words as possible. Sorry for the long narrative:…read more 1) I planned out a special night for my wife throughout all of Level 8 2) Had reservations set at Lucky Mizu for Dinner to Mr. Wanderlust for Cocktails and Entertainment and then to Sinners and Santos for Drinking and Dancing for Latin Night 3) Showed up for our 6:45 PM reservation at Lucky Mizu but was turned away 3 times stating they didn't have seats available. After being seated 40 minutes later, service took 20 minutes to take our order, and another 30 minutes to be served. Food was 'okay', there was no entertainment, and multiple customers were unhappy with similar slow service... but some of them were comped parts of their meals.. we didn't even get a sorry until we spoke to the manager on our way out, expressing the reason was they had no idea it would be this busy on a Thursday (they take reservations, so...), and also blamed an 'all you can eat promotion' they promoted earlier, and they only had two serves on staff that night. 4) We were late to Mr. Wanderlust, but were luck to get two seats at the bar after another couple left. We order two cocktails and a coffee... and were charged just over $140. Then, we were asked to move because they wanted to take our seats. We asked about the bill to the bartendar, and she expressed that since she didn't take our original order, she couldn't help us. She simply just had us stand there. We were not going to pay since it seemed way off... until finally we spoke to a guy walking by. We showed him our ticket/receipt and said out loud, "this isn't right". He came back quickly with a revised bill of almost $120. This was still far too high, but no one else seemed interested in helping us find resolve, so we ate it since we didn't want to be late for part 3 of the night. 5) Hoping to salvage the night with drinks and dancing... we tried to find the entrance to Sinners and Santos for their advertised Latin night. We had made reservations here too, and had full confirmation of the reservation... BUT, after finally being directed to the entrance (outside on the patio), they were closed. No sign of why and no one who worked at the other locations had a reason, but they were just simply closed. 6) So, after paying $35 for parking, about $140 in cocktails and food while waiting for our initial reservation at Golden Hour and Que Barbaro, $150+ for dinner at Lucky Mizu, and $120 at Mr. Wanderlust... approximately $500 total... we didn't even get to dance. Maybe this place had a bad night, but based on what the workers said, and how they treated us... it sure seems like the norm. Don't get me wrong, the place is cool... some really great experiential elements and nice photo ops... but I would have had a much better time somewhere else. Super disappointed in this place.

Took some friends here who were visiting and wanted a Speakeasy experience…read more It was maybe 9:30/10pm on a Friday and it wasn't super busy. We were able to get a seat on the coach and order drinks from the bar relatively quickly. Prices were pretty typical of LA ($18-25 a cocktail) but I would say I probably won't come back this late as it's in a shadier part of town. They have a bouncer and it was fine inside, but it's not a place where you can bar hop if that's what you're looking for as the area is seedy. Would be interested to try the food next time, but again, the safety and comfort of the light of day.

NOVEMBER 26.2025…read more I've been through many iterations of The Library Bar over the years... from small and cozy secret bar for those that work in the looming skyscrapers of Downtown LA to being some noisy urban hip hop affair that served godawful drinks (see my past review!), and on back to being a calm and casual neighborhood bar again. The interior never changes... dark... illuminated by candlelight... the bust of Shakespeare over the fireplace, the shelves of old books-- all of it remains intact. But this latest Library Bar seems to have finally dialed in what was always sorely missing in that it showcases a conscientious staff that all seem to know how to mix drinks while treating the customer well by leaving them be. On one night my date and I share a "Black Manhattan," basically a Manhattan with the generous addition of Averna, and it's terrific. On another night, I go for Happy Hour and a few pints of Guinness on draft that are surprisingly proper and go well with their excellent and, I'm told, homemade Hummus & Veggies Plate. The music at this current Library Bar is pretty much on point and is never so loud as to interfere with the conversations that patrons seem to come here for... something you should come here for too, and maybe at Happy Hour specifically if you're looking for a nice bump in your day and to spend an hour, well, happily.

I finally was able to check it off, thanks to a hotel offer with a dining credit. Dahlia is the gorgeous petite space behind the larger ground floor restaurant space now called Cabrillo (formerly Caldo Verde). Dahlia opened as a bespoke cocktail lounge, then began to offer tea. Now it's just tea. There are five 2-tops and two 4-top tables. All food and beverage venues at the Proper used to be under the auspices of famed chef Suzanne Goin and her business partner/sommelier Caroline Styne. They are no longer affiliated with the Proper, but many of their dishes/contributions remain. The last named vestige of them is on the tea menu, "Suzanne's Deviled-Egg Sandwich". The tea menu has several options: Classic, with a seasonal mocktail, or with different champagnes. I opted for the Classic experience, because the mocktail had mocha, not my fave. Server Lluvia was clearly a Dahlia veteran; she offered a tea-smelling of all the teas that interested me as well as crowd favourites. I ultimately chose one of these faves, Mad Hatter's Tea Party, which had passionfruit and vanilla. I declined milk/cream, but did get lemon. There were rock sugar sticks on the table. It seems the selection of tea sandwiches and sweet treats changes every so often, although the vanilla bean scone, dried currant scone, Devonshire cream and apricot orange jam seem like constants. The sandwich selection at my visit were: cucumber, crab/creme fraiche, beet hummus on pita, smoked salmon and Suzanne's deviled egg. All were delish, the beet, crab and deviled egg especially. The sweet treats were: orange fig butter cookie, spiced apple brown butter crumble, cranberry frangipane hand pie, chocolate mocha macaron, pumpkin madeleine, plus the 2 scones. All were excellent. There were no leftovers. A bit pricey, but a relaxing and lovely experience. The room was not crowded when I visited, adding to the calmness of my visit.

It's not surprising given the neighborhood and decor, but I think they lean towards more Japanese spirits and beers. For someone like me who's never been to Japan I feel like there's a traditional Japanese theme going on inside with lots of wood. A few friends and I came here on a holiday before dinner.

My girlfriend and I ordered two Old Fashioneds made with Ilegal Mezcal. The bottle being used was nearly empty, and as professionals in the hospitality industry, we are very familiar with proper pour standards. It was clear there wasn't enough product left for two consistent drinks. The bartender, Bryan, prepared both cocktails without using a jigger. When I politely asked why one drink appeared noticeably lighter than the other and why he wasn't measuring the pour, he smirked, gave a slight laugh, and responded that he "knows the exact measurement of his glasses." The tone and gesture felt dismissive and mocking rather than professional. Instead of addressing a reasonable concern with transparency, the response came across as defensive and condescending. To make matters worse, a 20% gratuity was automatically added, bringing the total to $71.12 for two inconsistent Old Fashioneds. Precision, consistency, and respect are basic standards in this industry. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect that. We won't be returning.

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.

I've been here a few times, and they have a great selection of rums and rum based cocktails. I've…read morefound the cocktails to be good, but not the best I've had. The ambience depends on the time, it can be a chill bar before 10pm, and post 10 on the weekends it's more of a club atmosphere with a dj.

Charming speak easy like hidden bar in Downtown L.A. where you have to go in back of the building…read morethrough the garage to see a canopy and burgundy colored drapery framing a reception desk & dark, open door. The entire bar is dark, mysterious with twinkle lights overhead. Like Las Vegas, once inside, it's hard to know if it's day or night outside. Only exception is in their outdoor patio mirrored on the sides like the hall at Versailles and sunlight coming in from above where smoking is allowed. We came early before 8pm during Happy Hour when non-members can enter with a person with a membership which allows 3 additional guests, and all guests are free to enter without a membership until 8pm. [$30 initial membership fee for a year and $20 annual renewal.] Caña (kahn yah) means cane in Spanish referring to sugar cane from which rum is made. Our bartender was helpful and personable welcoming us and taking our orders. Under advice from Caña member Elite Yelper, Isobel L., who graciously took us under her wing, we ordered a shot of Nicaraguan Flor de Caña Rum aged 12 years that came with a cigarillo. We adjourned from the bar to the patio to smoke our mini-stogies and sipped our rum. We came early when there were very few members so it was the perfect place to talk and mellow out. Those who want a more animated crowd probably should come much later when lively dance music begins, and booties start to swing. Caña Rum Bar: 4 stars
