"A beautiful ocean view can add a lot to cocktail hour, which is why it’s worth braving the chilly Pacific breeze (and occasional touristy crowd) at Hotel Erwin’s High Rooftop Bar. The rooftop bar’s cocktails are relatively simple but delicious, like a standard margarita on the rocks, an espresso martini, and smoky mezcal negronis. Make a reservation to nab one of the comfy couches (ideally under a heater) and take in the sunset with a plate of fries and a few drinks. " - sylvio martins
