"After a long day of meetings that could have been emails, you and your co-workers deserve a solid drink. If your office is in DTLA, that's when you'd head to Perch. The Downtown rooftop has a massive two-story outdoor space, a classic French menu filled with dishes like buttery steak frites and linguica-filled bouillabaisse, and various string quartets and live bands throughout the week. Plus, unlike most spots with 360-degree views of the city skyline, you can still get a drink here for under $10 during their weekday Happy Hour." - brant cox, nikko duren
