"Spire 73 is the rooftop lounge inside the InterContinental Hotel Downtown. And yes, the number 73 does mean it’s located on the 73rd floor, making it the tallest open-air bar in the Western Hemisphere. We were shocked to learn that too, but either way, it makes for a nice setting to drink with coworkers or show off LA to a visiting friend. There are countless fire features, big mod chairs to sit in, and 360-degree views of LA. Grab the slaw-topped burger if you get hungry." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
"An open-air rooftop bar perched atop a downtown tower, prized for panoramic views and a sophisticated setting for cocktails and small plates high above the city." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.

"High atop the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown is Spire 73, which claims to be the highest open-air bar in the entire Western Hemisphere. There’s plenty of outdoor seating, lounge cabanas, and fire pits to help stay warm as the winds can get really fierce this high up. The menu features bar bites like crispy Thai shrimp, seared striped bass, and colorful mixed drinks." - Eater Staff

We were shocked to learn that too, but either way, it makes for a fantastic setting to drink with coworkers or a visiting friend. There are countless fire features, big mod chairs to sit in, and 360-degree views of LA (and frankly, Southern California). Grab the bacon slaw-topped burger when you get hungry." - Brant Cox
"You’ll be hard-pressed to find a swankier bar than the one at the InterContinental Hotel. It helps that it’s 73 stories high, as the hotel is the tallest building on the West Coast. At Spire 73, the tallest open-air bar in the Western Hemisphere, the cocktail menu is as expansive as the views. There’s several twists on the Old Fashioned, but we prefer the most classic of them: Cozy up near a fire pit and order the Los Agelenos Old Fashioned, made with Elijah Craig Small Batch bourbon, maple syrup, angostura bitters, and an orange twist." - Vox Creative
