    I reaaallllllyyyyy wanted to have a good experience here. I came here for brunch last year and didn't write a review bc my experience was not too great and I decided to give it a try during the evening when they have events. Well, I brought 2 friends. It was their first time there. Karaoke and a DJ. I called ahead to ask if they had a DJ this night and if we had to make a reservation. The person who answered the phone said "no reservations . Just come." So, we did. After we found parking, the wait was not too long and the security guard had an entertaining personality. (So, that's why I added a star.) Now look...the food and customer service were awful. Just so awful that I am literally taking time to detail every single thing. I ordered a Philly with only meat, cheese, and bread. I just said "I'd like it super plain. Just plain." I specifically asked what comes on it and said "I'd like none of that. Just the meat, cheese and bread. None of the peppers, onions, and mushrooms." The waiter laughed and so did my party. So, it was actually discussed, but in a humorous way. All good, I don't mind them laughing at my order. Also, I asked for truffle fries. The waiter said "there is a $3 up charge." I said "cool." I also asked for Long Island with pineapple juice instead of Coca Cola. My friend ordered catfish. (It arrived waaaayyyyy after everyone else's food) The third person in our party ordered wings. She also ordered truffle fries while we waited on our food. (Those came after all the food. Smh) Oh and our drinks came way after the food as well. The Long Island arrived. It was dark. So, I immediately asked "this has pineapple juice instead of Coca Cola right?" He said "yes." When he walked away. My first sip was almost completely coca cola. My first bite of the Philly was a mound of mushrooms and onions. There is a photo below after he took the Philly bc I said I'll keep the fries. You can see a piece of pepper leftover. My fries never came truffled either. The entire order was messed incorrect. There is more, but I'll just stop here. Horrible experience. The karaoke was entertaining. We all sang, but we were hungry. My friends didn't eat their food batter the waiter left it at the bar for 10 minutes while people breathed all over it. That right there was crazy. So...yea it wasn't a good experience at all. The waiter was a sweet guy, but I was hungry and didn't end up eating anything, but French fries.

    Last night, I had a very disturbing and painful experience at Sunset Rooftop that I feel other customers should be aware of. While sitting and watching karaoke, a staff member accidentally dropped an entire bowl of hot hookah coals directly onto my lap without warning. The incident happened suddenly and caught me completely off guard. As a result, I sustained multiple burns to my upper thighs, and I am currently experiencing significant pain and discomfort. What made the situation even more concerning was the staff's response afterward. The employee involved did not immediately apologize or show an appropriate level of urgency or concern regarding the seriousness of the injuries. The incident was witnessed by multiple people nearby, including the table seated next to us, yet the response from staff made the situation feel minimized rather than handled with the care and professionalism it required. This was not a minor inconvenience -- hot coals being dropped onto a customer presents a serious safety hazard that could have caused even more severe injuries. Businesses that serve hookah and handle burning coals have a responsibility to ensure proper safety procedures, staff training, and immediate incident response protocols are in place to protect patrons. I am sharing this review to document my experience and to encourage others to exercise caution when visiting this establishment. Customer safety should always be treated as a priority, and unfortunately that was not reflected in the way this incident was handled.

    Cute Spot with Great Staff but Different Vibes Day vs. Late Night Ambiance and Setup This place is super cute and has a really nice patio style "rooftop" area (technically the second floor). The decor is fun and aesthetic, and it's a great spot for brunch, drinks, or hookah. You do have to walk up about two short flights of stairs to get there. I didn't see an elevator, so that's something to keep in mind. Parking There is shared parking downstairs with the other businesses in the building. During the day it can get pretty full, but when we came late at night there was plenty of parking available. Food and Drinks On our recent visit we ordered the nachos and added protein, and they were really good...flavorful and filling. I've also been here before for breakfast/brunch a couple years ago and the food was great then too. The mimosas were really good, and overall the brunch experience was wonderful. They also offer drinks and hookah, which is one of the reasons we wanted to come back at night. Games One thing I thought was really cool is that they provide some games for guests to play. We didn't end up using them, but it's a fun little touch that adds to the experience. Brunch / Breakfast Experience (5 Stars) When I came during the morning for breakfast and mimosas, the atmosphere was relaxed, cute, and really enjoyable. The staff was friendly and everything felt calm and welcoming. It was honestly a great brunch spot and I would absolutely recommend it for daytime visits. Late Night Experience (3 Stars) We came back late at night around 2 a.m. for food. While the staff and food were still great, the overall energy was very different from the daytime experience. The late night crowd was louder and higher energy, and some of the guests were a bit unfriendly, which made the atmosphere feel a little less comfortable for us personally. This isn't really the restaurant's fault, but it did change the vibe compared to the relaxed brunch visit I had before. Hookah Policy They do have a hookah minimum policy. For example, tables of three must order one hookah, tables of five must order two, and so on. If guests choose not to order hookah, there is a required minimum spend or a small fee per person. Just something to be aware of before going. Service Charge There is an 18% service charge added, so keep that in mind when budgeting. Service The hostess and waitress were both very friendly and attentive. Even when things got busy, they stayed calm and professional, which we really appreciated. Overall Still a really cute place with great service and good food. I'd personally recommend coming earlier in the evening or during brunch hours if you're looking for a more relaxed atmosphere. I'd definitely return during the daytime again.

    Mojo delivered outstanding service--attentive, personable, and made the whole experience feel effortless. From our hookah to champagne and drinks, everything was handled smoothly and with great energy. He checked in just the right amount and kept the vibe elevated all night. Definitely the kind of service that brings you back.

    Aspen made a good drink and the vibes are great!!!

    Came in around 11pm on a Thursday and the Dj was playing great music and Aspen made us some really good drinks!

    Parking is free at nights and there is a small parking lot. They have gold champagne flutes that are so cute and a dj that comes in. They do a lot here such as sip and paints, candle making and karaoke. For birthdays they give a complimentary dessert, sparkler, bubbles from a gun, etc. We got a bottle of Moet and they put it on ice. When there is no dj they have just a music box that you put money into. We can that up of $40 because the box didn't really play good music on its own. Service was good and prices not too bad. Bottled water- $1 Wings- $15 Shot- $15 They had some hot lemon pepper wings and the fries were 10000000/100000000000. Seasoned very well, fresh and homemade. They gives lots of ranches and ketchup and a side of carrots and celery. It was tasty! They have hookah here too!

    Hummus and pita, either $13 or $14....

    The space is super cute and I'm sure I'll go back to take advantage of one of the little private rooms you can rent by the hour. However, I went for a Groupon experience, bottomless mimosas and candle making. I was told to make a reservation, which was easy to do, I simply called and told the hostess I purchased the candle making for two people and wanted to make a reservation for the following Sunday and she easily added me +1 for 5:30pm. Unfortunately, upon check in, I was told that candle making is actually at 8pm and paint and sip is 5:30pm. I explained that when I made the reservation she asked if 5:30 worked and I said yes. The hostess informed me that it was a mistake because candles are 8pm every day with paint @5:30 every day. She offered to add me to the paint, which although I don't enjoy at all, my friend was down for. As we were early we decided to order some food. I asked for a draft beer and was told it wasn't working, so I ordered a bottle of beer, which at $9 I thought was a bit pricey. We ordered nachos and were told they were out- this was at 4:45 pm on a Sunday. After checking with the chef, the server told us that we could indeed order nachos. We also ordered hummus and grilled pita which for $13 an order, I figured had to be massive. I'll let you decide by the pics. The sun was setting and again I thought the outside space was adorable and perfect for a craft Again, let me stress that I strongly dislike all paint nights but even my friend said it wasn't the most fun experience she's had without a fun and involved teacher. All in all, pretty pricey but cute space.

    Royale was cool as our server, my first time @sunsetrooftop. Marino was also great for keeping our hookah maintained. I ordered hot pepper wings & fries they were yummy and hot. The kitchen is currently being renovated, my daughter having her engagement party on august 30th hopefully it will be ready. This place is cozy we had fun a lot , they are some things that isn't good. The parking lot is very small there's street parking available. The stairs are somewhat narrow and steep, happy I wore low heels. As we were leaving I asked the security guard was there an elevator he said yes. All in all it's cute cozy just needs a few improvements....

    Such a cute fun candle making class. We had a private room we share with 2 other gals who were cool. We were able to connect to a speaker and play our own music. We did have to take our creations outside in the cool air for them to harden faster which it did quickly. Outside is a cute small outdoor area with a large TV playing sports and music playing. Love that they have games on the tables to play. Great vibe! Would definitely come back. Only issue I have is that the candle won't stay lit!! The wooden wicks do not work!! Travel_lifestyle_chow

I really wanted to enjoy this place and the Girls Brunch seemed like such a fun idea, but based on our experience, I unfortunately won't be returning.

    We came to The Obscure for a friend's birthday and had such a fantastic night. This is definitely…read moremore of an experience than just going out for drinks. The atmosphere is immersive, theatrical, moody, and every nook and cranny of this place is beautifully detailed. Our group embraced the requested all-black dress code, and I was a little disappointed that some other guests didn't play along. When a place puts this much effort into creating a particular world, dressing the part really does make the experience more fun. The spirits themselves were excellent. We tasted vodka, whiskey, and rum, and all three were remarkably smooth, interesting, and clearly very high quality. I loved that the tasting was guided rather than just having drinks dropped in front of us. The storytelling and presentation made us pay attention to what we were actually tasting and gave the evening a nice sense of progression. We also happened to be there while comic artist Matt Harley of Marvel fame was sketching, which felt perfectly suited to the setting and made an already unusual night even more memorable. The space is gorgeous: candlelight, artwork, strange little details everywhere, dramatic lighting, beautiful glassware, and even the outdoor fire element. There's so much to look at that you feel like you're discovering something new every time you turn around. Our whole group LOVES Halloween, so this felt like the absolute perfect way to kick off spooky season. It has exactly the kind of dark, mysterious, slightly magical atmosphere we were hoping for without feeling cheesy or gimmicky. We loved the rum so much that we ended up buying a bottle, which also granted us Level 1 membership, so this definitely won't be our only visit. Such a fun choice for a birthday celebration, date night, or a night out with friends when you want something completely different from the usual bar experience. We're already looking forward to going back and seeing what our new membership unlocks.

    If you're seeking for an unique cocktail experience in Arts District where they give you a bit of…read morehistory and storytelling with each spirit & cocktail, then you're at the right spot! Saw numerous content on Instagram and knew I had to give it a try. You can only purchase your tickets via the Fever App! I've been here twice, once last year for Season 1 and last week for the Halloween event! Both experiences were a lot different and I'm wondering if the format that we got from the Halloween event is now the standard. Previously, you had a lot more time to drink and enjoy the main room, but with the recent Halloween event, I did feel a bit rushed. We did go to another area, which was pretty cool, but I do think a little bit more time in the main room would have been nice. We didn't really get to check out the Marvel artist this time...At the end of the experience, they lead to you a members only bar, which is pretty cool. I know it's a sales pitch for membership at this point, but it's merged so seamlessly by that point, when you're a bit buzzed, it doesn't matter anymore! They do have the spirits that you've tried for sale, but unfortunately, the one we all wanted to buy (The rum?) was still in the process of being approved for bottling. So sad, we'll have to come back or ask our friends who bought a bottle to let us know when they have it ready for sale. Note, when you buy a bottle, it gives you Level 1 membership and access to member only events! Each spirit/cocktail is pretty strong so they do offer non-alcoholic drinks, but I believe the entry ticket is still the same price whether or not you are drinking alcohol or not. Recommend eating beforehand to absorb all the alcohol. Having an uber/lyft ready is nice so you're not driving under the influence. My friends and I want to do this again, but perhaps at an earlier time slot for more time to sober up or when we have a staycation weekend in LA where we can uber to and from places.
