Sitting pretty atop The Standard Hotel in downtown LA is the trendy Rooftop Bar. This hip establishment has an atmosphere of luxury and sophistication, including a heated pool, vibrant Astro Turf lounge area, a well-stocked bar and an outdoor fireplace. Indulge in delicious inventive concoctions, chat with friends in the lounge around, then let your hair down and dance to the DJ's brilliant line up. Most of all, take the time to enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views of the city.

This cocktail lounge and club sprawls over an area of 8000 square feet (743.22 meters). It is an upscale place that is usually crowded, especially on the weekends. The decor is elegant and complements the building's historical design. If not for the drinks, visiting Broadway Bar for the vibe and the spectacular crowd is a must. It has seen its fair share of celebrities from the world of theater and comedy.

This is one of the best places in town to unwind and enjoy some live music. Opened in 2010, The Other Door has carved a niche for themselves with their artisan cocktails, draft beer and absinthe. Tipple on beers like the Old Rasputin, Delirium Tremens, Belhaven Scottish Ale and Milk Stout. Or try their fabulous concoctions such as French 75, Moorpark Michelada, Bathtub Martini and Singapore Sling. The fourth Sunday of every month is dedicated to absinthe lovers. From tasting flights to cocktails, this is the time to try this green, distilled beverage. Sway to the tunes of live bands or DJs who rock the stage regularly. Whether you are single or with a group, you can be sure of a pleasurable time at this watering hole.
