"Just getting inside Level 8, a nightlife complex in Los Angeles, feels like participating in space travel. You'll be escorted down a hallway of pulsing psychedelic lights and 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 all in the same night. But we recommend starting with dinner at the actually decent South American steakhouse, Qué Bárbaro." - anne cruz
