"In cities like New York and Chicago, restaurants on top of skyscrapers are old news. In LA, they’re basically local landmarks. 71Above is a modern restaurant/bar on top of the US Bank tower that has only been open since 2016, but is easily one of the most impressive spaces in the city. With nearly 360-degree views of LA and a ceiling that looks like an optical illusion, drinking at 71Above is like being inside an interpretive art museum. While we totally endorse eating a full dinner here, you could also just come by for a strong drink before a night out Downtown." - brant cox
