Basque Cheesecake
Amanda L.

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!

Pobre old fashioned. 2 for 71.12

We visited La Lola Rooftop expecting a great experience. The view is beautiful -- without question, the best part of the venue. Unfortunately, the service did not match the setting. 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.

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.

Excellent view but terrible service!! We ordered 2 mezcal Old Fashion's & the bartender poured them from a nearly empty bottle (it didn't even give us 4 ounces) When he made the drinks, we told him they were too short & he should use a jigger, but he ignored us. The worst part is that the bill includes a 20% tip, which he really didn't deserve. 1st time here ):

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.

The view of the rooftop

First time here I liked the service and the view was so nice, as-well as our server she was also really nice shout out to her. Her name was Aurora. I also ordered their cheeseburger and it was Yum.

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.

Damion P.

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.

Had a drink before dinner. Even though they didn't have a blender they made the frozen strawberry…read moremargarita somehow. My friend ordered it for me before I arrived. Really good still. Cool bar decor with lush plants and books to complement the bottles of alcohol. Bartender was sweet and gracious.

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!!!

Gumbo Brothers made the night…read more... Stumbled into this portion of level 8, after the vibes were mild near the carousel rooftop bar. Good size crowd, but it was easy enough to get a drink from the bar. Vibes were good and got better when the Gumbo Brothers came on. They are a cover band, but specific to hip hop and RnB, and they killed it. Jay on the sax was amazing, and Apollo on the mic was perfect. We will be back on Friday or Saturday, since I believe that's when the Gumbo Brothers are there.

Overpriced, excessive fees, and disappointing service…read more Honestly, I was shocked when the check arrived. A 20% tip was already included, plus they charged an additional 10% tax on the tip and another 3% credit card processing fee. At this point, it honestly feels like the restaurant is looking for every possible way to squeeze money out of customers. It comes across as a scammy way of doing business. To make matters worse, everything on the menu is already overpriced, and the tables are so small they can barely fit one plate comfortably. The food was just okay. The only thing I'll give them credit for is that the drinks were good. Unfortunately, the service wasn't impressive either. We had to wait quite a while before the server came around to take our order. Overall, the experience wasn't worth the price. Between the overpriced menu, excessive fees, tiny tables, and slow service, I wouldn't be rushing back.

Excellent food and experience! The staff was super nice and we felt like it was a true hidden gem…read more They knew it was my friend's birthday so made a special effort to wish her a happy birthday and include a candle on top of one of the pastries. 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. Overall a nice place to celebrate any special occasion or gather with friends. The parking lot next to the hotel is super easy to park at. All day parking around $10, self park.

The DTLA Proper Hotel is beautifully designed by Kelly Wearstler, a former athletic faciliity…read more Although I've done several staycations here, tea at Dahlia remained on my bucket list of experiences, since it's only offered on weekends. 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.
