"There’s a lot of beach in Venice and Santa Monica, but really only one not-terrible rooftop that has a beach view. That bar is called High, and it’s on top of the Hotel Erwin. Unfortunately, that’s not a secret, so there will definitely be a crowd here on a weekend afternoon. After a bottle of prosecco at Ester’s though, all those people are much less likely to annoy you. Reserve a couch and you won’t have to wait at the bar, plus you’ll have a prime view for one of LA’s smoggy-but-excellent sunsets." - brett keating
