    False Advertising, Bland Food, and Not Worth the Price -- Only the View Is Nice My family and I had a really disappointing experience at La Lo La Rooftop. OpenTable lists this restaurant as Tapas/Small Plates, which is exactly why we chose it--especially with our 19-month-old who loves tapas. To our surprise, there were no tapas on the menu at all. When we asked for the tapas menu, the server told us they "no longer see a need to have two menus" and now just serve the general hotel menu instead. None of this was communicated upfront, and it felt like misleading advertising. We had already paid $27.50 for parking and had a hungry toddler, so leaving wasn't an option. Unfortunately, the food we ordered was extremely bland and flavorless--we even sent one plate back. The sangria tasted watered down, and overall nothing matched the pricing or the expectations set online. Service was also a major issue. Our server barely checked on us at all, and at one point she went on break without telling us. We only found out when we asked for the check and another server mentioned, "Oh, she's on break--she should have told you." Between the auto-gratuity and the lack of communication, the service felt uninterested and unprofessional. On top of that, they automatically add a 20% gratuity without informing you, which explains the nonexistent service--because the tip is guaranteed regardless. For 4 sangrias, 1 AC Club Chicken Sandwich, and 1 Rigatoni Pomodoro, our bill came to $169.45, and my spouse didn't even have a meal. Absolutely not worth it. The only positive thing here is the rooftop view--but Los Angeles has plenty of beautiful views without paying nearly $170 for bland food and poor service. Save your time, money, and appetite. This place is not what it claims to be.

    This place saved our evening after a desperate dash at Level 8. Even though we had a reservation over there, we had no idea there was a $75 per person minimum and any other bar was charging an outrageous fee and was so loud + standing room. We found ourselves at La Lo La Rooftop which was lively but not crowded, and with a stunning view. We ordered drinks from the menu and lemon drops from the bar, in addition to a Basque cheesecake. The service we received was phenomenal. We were checked on multiple times, no one made us feel rushed or pushed for only getting drinks and a dessert, and best of all, we could sit and talk to each other. We determined that this is a super underrated spot for a gorgeous LA view! I would never go back to the Level 8 bars but I would DEFINITELY come back to La Lo La. Such a lovely experience!

    Regarding the atmosphere, the rooftop was beautiful and the ambiance was giving a sexy vibe. Now the food and service was not great at all. The food came out cold, hard and salty. My daughter ordered a burger and I had the chicken sandwich. We barely found our waitress as she was off dancing. For 68.00 bill and a forced 20% gratuity, I feel as though, management owe us a redo.

    Staying at the AC, decided to stop here for a drink and to grab some food! Spectacular views from every angle and lots of seating ! Service was fast and very friendly and enjoyed their burrata and warm chips with dip! Lovely cocktail selection - enjoyed a great French 75! Gray food, service, drinks and wow views make this a great spot to visit!

    Came on a friday night for date night. Pur waiter introduced himself, got us water and we didnt see him again for a while. A waitress saw us, asked if we've been helped and took our drink order instead. We both ordered the sweet tea swizzle. It was tasty. Our original waiter brought the ordered drinks to us and when we ordered, he recommended the housemade chips. They were either super salty or super plain. The chive & citrus crème fraiche needed to be stirred up because it honestly didnt taste like anything. The gambas was really tasty; FYI: not a large plate. The steak frites were good.

    It was a good experience. The views, ambiance, and drinks weee good! I'll return for those three. The service was a bit slow which prompted us to go to another place to continue the night. We were able to get 3 drinks and fries before waiting for a while for the server to come back around to order more... finally we ended up asking the buss boy from a neighboring table to get us the bill which prompted our server to come over and ask us if we needed anything else.

    The rooftop at the AC Hotel is the perfect spot to watch the sunset. The views were stunning, the drinks were really good, and Hilda, our bartender, made some seriously delicious cocktails. We enjoyed the golden hour and I'm already planning to come back for dinner.

    I attended an event at this rooftop bar and was pleasantly pleased with the atmosphere and bartender service. I've lived my whole life in LA and I am constantly surprised on how many places I still have not gone to in DTLA alone. So many places So much fun. To top it off down below in the different levels there are many restaurants and bars throughout this Moxy hotel.

    Came here on my lunch break while working the convention center. It was so cute! The views were really some of the best! You could see the whole downtown aerial view. You could enjoy the sun beaming down. And you could easily find good seating. Would definitely come back to enjoy it while there was music and more people.

    La Lo La was super cute. It is on the rooftop of the AC Downtown Hotel. I know when the weather gets warmer, this'll continue to be a hot spot. It was AMAZING to watch the sun set while overlooking the beautiful lights of Downtown. There's $20 parking. There's valet. There's a $20 parking lot across the street. And LA Live is super close by also. I found street parking after 7pm so that was great and a win for me. We ordered the Steak Skewers which came in 4 and so good. The Brussel sprouts were also pretty good. The patatas brava were really good with a nice chipotle mayonnaise on them. I would definitely try out a brunch here with a nice summer weather. I did think it was a bit absurd to charge $8 for a soda. My friend also got the Whiskey Punch that she enjoyed. And the carrot cake was IMMACULATE with ice cream. It was perfect. They have a full bar. The service was ehh. The server didn't really come back to us nor checked up on us. We had to call her back over to order more drinks as well as request our check. It wasn't busy night. But when gratuity is included, I guess she didn't care because the money was already made.

    Aurora was amazing, we drove almost 2 hours and she made the experience memorable. Definitely will be back for her and the atmosphere.

    My friend & I booked a reservation for 9:15 pm Friday night. We called because we were running 10-15 late and they said they were doing last call at 9:45. I asked well why did they allow us to make late reservations if they were closing early? We got there and the turnout was kinda slow. There were maybe about 15-20 people there. We ran to the bar and ordered 2 drinks each and chugged them down. I had the west coast punch. They were fruity yet strong. The bartender told us they were closing at 10:15 because it was "cold", although the website and Yelp said they closed at midnight. Super misleading. I was very disappointed about having to call it an early night because of the weather, keep in mind, it was not cold out. The views and the vibes are on point, but they need to get their hours in check. Not to mention we waited a while to get our drinks. The bartender did not acknowledge us, and there weren't many people there that night. I had high hopes.

    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.

    5* Ambiance 5* Service…read more5* Coctails Level 8 really has done a fantastic job creating a jazz/entertainment bar with great service, drinks, and unpretentious service. 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.

The food is really good and the tea choices are excellent. The mocktail was a nice add to help refresh ourselves on a hot day.

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.

    Sleek cocktail bar located smack dab in the center of the high foot traffic area of Little Tokyo…read more A great selection of whiskey and a solid cocktail menu with good happy hour specials. 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. Happy hour specials were still going on. I'm not sure if they thought they were gonna get that much business on a holiday but I think there's only maybe one or two people behind the bar. Since it was early when we got there, it was still not that crowded. I got the special which was a shot of Japanese whisky and a beer. Great price! Haha. I've walked by before where this place is really crowded so I assume there's a lot more people working behind the bar during the regular busy hours. Just a great place to grab drink drinks.

No exceptions, as I witnessed a family who really wanted to come in but had an 18 yr old so they weren't allowed in and because they had a minor with them they couldn't even sit outside in their seating area. Always good to know. Inside the bar got super busy. The inside was a bit dark but again it is a bar. I like the decor and the bar seating was packed. The drinks were good if you like whiskey they have it along with lists of beer options. Nice spot to try out.

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.

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.

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
