Bar Lis

"Located on top of the Thompson Hotel, this rooftop bar does a good job of disguising that you’re right off Hollywood Boulevard with its dim lighting and chic atmosphere, but all of that can change depending on the night. Come to Bar Lis on weeknights for jazz concerts and cocktails with canapés, because Saturdays get packed with out-of-towners and social media stars dancing to remixes of disco tracks. And sure, drinks here are on the pricier side, but you’re paying for the views and the fact that you’re actually enjoying an LA rooftop for once. " - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren

" There’s always something going on at Hollywood’s Bar Lis. On Tuesdays, you can drop in for a glass of Gamay and live jazz. And on Saturdays, the whole place transforms into a tequila-fueled dance party. This plant-filled bar has a retractable roof, a lounge with an open-air deck, and a huge indoor space where you and a few friends can dance while a DJ spins disco and soul tracks. Cocktails start at around $18, or you can get bottle service starting at $350 if your pseudo-celebrity friend is paying. The next time you want to be outside with a great view of the Hollywood sign while wearing that outfit you'd put on to win back your ex, head to Bar Lis." - Brant Cox, Arden Shore, Nikko Duren

"Once entering the Thompson Hotel, prepare yourself. The French Riviera-inspired Bar Lis is gorgeous with a retractable roof, a handy bites menu featuring a tremendous cheeseburger, and live music many nights of the week." - Eater Staff

"The future of Bar Lis, along with other venues like Ka’Teen, is uncertain due to protracted legal battles and internal issues." - Farley Elliott
