"The pool at Broken Shaker is usually full of animal floaties, 24-year-olds wearing neon-colored swimwear, and the occasional dropped iPhone. If you’re looking for a fun place to day drink and swim with some friends who you won’t have to desperately beg to get in the water, make this your spot. It’s located on the rooftop of the Freehand hotel in DTLA, and they serve bar snacks like carne asada fries, fish tacos, and tuna tostadas all day long." - nikko duren, kat hong, brant cox
