" If you’re looking for a sensory overload kind of night with a group of friends, Level 8 delivers. This is a chaotic nightlife complex on the eighth floor of the Moxy DTLA. Just getting inside feels like participating in space travel. First, you'll be escorted down a hallway of pulsing psychedelic lights and then into an elevator that shoots you up to a maze of restaurants and bars (plus an outdoor pool deck open to anyone). You could very well swim, drink, and watch aerial burlesque in the same night. But we recommend starting with dinner at the crowd-pleasing South American steakhouse, Qué Bárbaro. Just be aware that you’ll need reservations for most of the concepts. " - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
