The First Timer’s Guide To Drinking In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Contrary to what your parents remember from their visit in 1995, Downtown LA is very much a thing now. While you can find any type of bar you want Downtown these days, your first move should be Nomad. Located in the DTLA hotel of the same name, you take an elevator all the way to the roof, and step out onto an open-air patio with some of the best views of Downtown, plus a pool, tremendous cocktails, and a cool, low-key crowd that’s always ready to mingle." - brant cox

The 11 Best Places To Eat & Drink Near LA Live, Crypto Arena, & LA Convention Center - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This casual rooftop at The Wayfarer hotel isn’t the most glamorous terrace in DTLA, but it does work well for a last-minute group meal. Perched on the 24th floor, it's got skyline views, comfy booths, and a tiny pool that’s basically just for looks. Most people come here to drink tropical cocktails, and while we don’t usually follow the crowd, the bright-colored drinks here are quite good. We’re also fans of the solid all-day menu, which involves some small share plates, raw dishes, and a few entrees like a thick bacon cheeseburger and steak frites." - Nikko Duren, Brant Cox, Sylvio Martins

We came for the Dine LA special menu. A cocktail, app, main and dessert all for $45. A great price and absolutely great service. Rachel and Wilalfredo took great care of us! The portions were still quite large even with the special menu. I just wasn’t the biggest fan of any of the food. With the exception of the limón dulce cocktail 5/5. Overall great rooftop vibes but I wouldn’t take any risk with the menu, stick to what you like

"Started from the bottom now we here!" Like literally! My night kicked off by making a stop into The Wayfarer's parlor speakeasy (Lilly Rose) on the basement level. I then made my way to The Rooftop. I'd been up before during the day to take in the morning view + some fun scenic pics #SelfiesCloseToTheSun - but getting to dine, eat, sip and experience The Rooftop cocktail bar and restaurant is something to remember. Specializing in cool craft cocktails the Mac Daddy Frose initially called out to me (blended rosé meets tito's vodka, lemon, lillet rose aperitif and liquid alchemist strawberry cocktail syrup), but their frozen machine blended was down. My server/bartender extraordinaire Brian made a suggestion or two that lead me to the Hotline Bling. Tiki Bar tiki style drinks are their showstoppers. Plus a great variety of craft beer, wine and spirits. I wasn't sure if I'd eat here, but was glad I did. My Thai Lemongrass + Mango salad was the best! They have tons of protein options, but a last non in the vegetarian or vegan variety. That said the menu has a solid options or more for dietary needs. It's mostly seafood + fusion inspired. I thought about moving to one of the many loungey areas they have set up, but unfortunately they had a need for the space around 10:15 pm - so everyone would have to leave by then which was a little bit of a bummer - especially as I got charged an access fee for The Rooftop during dinner for some odd reason as a guest for the weekend. An added service fee versus if I had just wanted to dine in for the night. Toward the last half hour I was here they got hit with an influx of guest, mostly ordering one last beverage so it took a while to get a check, but Brian came to the rescue as soon as he could. Truly a gem! Brian had me set with plenty of water and everything came out pretty easy, smooth and delicious. Being next to the fire pit enjoying the energy of DTLA and the Rooftop was truly close perfect. Great way to kick off my birthday season, would definitely bring bae, friends and/or family here for next time. Q Tips: Reservations are encouraged, though very walk-in friendly. Possible wait if a busy night. Parking at the hotel or neighboring garages as well as very close to 7th & Metro Station. The Rooftop offers Prefix Brunch and Lunch that includes salad, main dish and a dessert. Brunch also includes bubbly. Happy Hour happens here!

As always the views you get at a rooftop are amazing. The food is simple but good. I ordered the breakfast burrito it was flavorful and enjoyable. The drinks were made to perfection. I ordered a cucumber margarita and an espresso martini to which my server requested for me to do it with mezcal. Oh boy was he right. One of the best espresso drinks I've had. I've been here for drinks only during the day and it's always a good vibe. This time around I decided to have their brunch and it did not fail. I'll definitely comeback again for brunch.

A chill roof top bar in DTLA. We went on a Saturday evening with a reservation and were seated without any wait. The view is honestly not spectacular compared to other roof top bars but the ambiance is definitely more chill. Most of the foods and drinks were pretty good and the service was great :) Painkiller - a must try cocktail! Was so well-balanced and flavorful. Definitely recommended :) Mango unchained - this drink was pretty decent but wish it was less watery Ahi tartare - a good appetizer. Unique and authentic compared to typical ahi tartare at other restaurants Chicken & waffles - not very impressive. Just a mediocre chicken & waffle

This place is actually pretty good. View is nice and food menu is small but with fairly good selections. Prices are reasonable, especially for being downtown LA. Service was good. Took awhile from time to time for the server to come our way but unsure what staffing is like. She was prompt with our requests and helpful so no real Complaints. Food tasted good and the cookies are amazing!!! Now the guac.... It's more like avocado spread that you get at Costco. Same with the salsa. Neither tasted bad, just a heads up on its texture.

We stopped by for a few drinks on Christmas Eve night out. This is a boutique hotel rooftop bar so it's a bit cold and windy even with heaters on. It's stylish and cute with a little pond in the back. I felt bad for that sad looking rubber duck in cold water though. We are not fans of tiki cocktails so we ordered something else. I had a special cocktail of the night which was a whiskey espresso drink. Hubby had a glass of Macallan 12. The food menu was just snack food and we'd just had dinner so we didn't order any. The servers were very pleasant and attentive the entire time. I think they have brunch on weekends that I would like to check it out. Overall it was a relaxing time at this rooftop lounge and we enjoyed it very much!

The view was nice! Nice ambiance. Food was mediocre. Came here during restaurant week and tried their three course meal. we were seated right away as a restaurant was not very busy even on a weekend the view was very nice. Food was mediocre. I would say generally pretty average middle of the road especially for how much they charge. It was a little overpriced, but what you get. they also ran out of certain desserts, so we couldn't get the one we want. I would say a lot of the dishes were overcooked, and not cooked right. I would come back just to get drinks, but probably not order food.

Had a FANTASTIC brunch experience here about 6 months ago at this location and wanted to return today with an out of town guest for the same. Unfortunately, much has changed- apparently there is a new head chef who has overhauled the menu completely. There was once a weekend brunch menu with a variety of brunch selections and a prix fixe option which included a variety of courses to enjoy. This has been eliminated. In its place are three breakfast options: Steak & Eggs, Crab Cake Benedict, or Chicken & Waffles, among lunch/dinner options. To start, we ordered the Beignets, which are croissant beignets. Very flaky and delicious. 5 beignets are served with a dollop of whipped cream and a berry syrup for dipping. I also ordered a cup of coffee- for a basic cup of coffee, it was great tasting. For our entrees, I ordered the Flatiron Steak and Huevos, while my friend ordered the Pasta a la Diabla. The Steak dish arrived lukewarm, and while decent tasting was not much to rave about (ESPECIALLY at $38!). My friend added grilled shrimp (3) to her pasta dish. The charge was $16 additional for the 3 shrimps, which did little to elevate the dish. Another decent dish, but not worth the cost. Total cost for 2 entrees, beignets, and 2 cocktails (a mimosa and a "Mango Unchained" - yikes at the name, but nevermind that...) was roughly $140.00. Very overpriced for the value and quality of the meal, in my opinion. What's most disappointing to me is that the website still reflects the old menu list, including a Weekend Brunch menu. Had I seen the new menu online, I wouldn't have chosen to come here. Please update the website- parking in DTLA is far too expensive to not get what you're expecting. Bartender was our server and was pleasant. Service was the plus, next to the beignets. 3/5 stars--Will not return.

The Wayfarer's rooftop in downtown Los Angeles provided me with a mixed experience. The service was commendable, with an attentive and friendly staff. However, I couldn't help but notice that the overall decor felt somewhat dated and dirty, which impacted the overall atmosphere. The best part of the experience was the cocktail -- they had quite an extensive drink menu, and I went with the LA Girl cocktail. It was just as pretty as it was delicious. As for the food, it was just okay. While the dishes were decent, they didn't quite meet my expectations. I had the elote off the cob, which was flavorful, but a bit pricey for what it was. I also had the ceviche, which I had never had before. It had good flavor but just wasn't great. The rooftop does have potential, but it might benefit from a refresh in both its decor and menu.

We were staying at the wayfarer hotel and had a couple drink credits so we decided to check out the rooftop bar. The only reason they are getting a 3 star from me is because the view was beautiful, and two of the drinks were pretty good. The rest of the experience was far below our expectations. The service was probably the worst part of this place. The server literally knew nothing about the menu or the drinks, we knew more than he did by just reading the limited descriptions on the paper menu. I also felt like the service was rushed. Also when he didn't know something he didn't really make a major effort to try to get the info we needed he just said "I don't know" and ran off. It was so strange. To top it off, when he couldn't answer if one of the drinks would have a strong coconut taste I asked to modify the drink so there's less shots of coconut rum and add some regular rum too, he said that was fine then 10 minutes later the bartender who created the drink came out and gave me a huge lecture about how I was about to ruin his drink lol . It was hilarious but then annoying when he dragged out the conversation to last way longer than it needed to go. My partner just doesn't like strong coconut tastes especially the artificial flavors you get from coconut rum, so a simple question of if the drink will have a coconut dominant flavor turned into a huge discussion and story from him about why it needs to stay how it is, meanwhile not being completely forthcoming about answering my question, he even said if I modify it and I don't like it he won't refund or exchange the drink. It was so rude, arrogant and condescending, I finally gave up and just said, bro this is going on too long just send us the drink the way it comes. The funniest part of all is you could barely taste the coconut flavor anyway and that's all anyone needed to tell us from the beginning haha! It was just so weird all my friends and my hubby just watching this man give this insanely long lecture rather than attack my question straightaway just because he felt hurt that his brainchild drink was in question. The ceviche was a bit lack luster in flavor but it was edible.

Highly recommend this rooftop bar experience because it truly is a foodies paradise here. Came here for Sunday brunch and it was an easy check in process with reservations. Sat at the bar and enjoyed a delicious guava mimosa. The guava is an in house made purée and was a perfect touch for my mimosa. Next I ordered the Mac Daddy Froze... if you enjoy Capri Suns then this is definitely your jam. I ordered the Breakfast Sando and it was very delicious. You can taste the quality of each ingredient and I truly enjoyed each bite. Now if you are a cookie lover like myself then you definitely need to order the 1/2 dozen cookies for dessert. They are incredibly well made and everyone very much enjoyed this treat. Overall, it was the perfect brunch spot. Lots of great views of Los Angeles and comfortable seating options. The staff was friendly and attentive. They made excellent recommendations and truly made my experience a memorable one. I look forward to my next visit.

Really satisfied with the service, food and drinks ! Kid friendly. Brought my daughter for her birthday on a Monday. The lady at the entrance is the kindest person, didn't get her name but she has blonde hair and glasses. Made us feel welcomed and was attentive. One sign was my favorite drink, not any place can make it. The Hennessy Sidecar is a miss at most places. They got it right here ! Main entree was the steak and huevos. Honestly really satisfied with the quality of the food. The guacamole from the chips and guacamole wasn't really good. It was too creamy, would prefer real avocado. Other than this place is a gem. I hope the quality remains because I would like to come back more ofter. The ambiance is great, the music is at a good volume and they have heaters to keep you warm and creates good lighting for the place. Very nice view of surrounding buildings.

This was a so so experience. The view and atmosphere were great but the unreasonable prices don't justify the food quality or quantity with the exception of the hummus plate which was great. Our service wasn't the best, took a long time between visits by the waitress and we never got any small plates or silverware for our appetizer. We were seated at a table that didn't have light so we waited a while for someone to turn on the heater. Overall it seemed management needs to improve to hire more staff or present the table in a more professional manner, especially with such expensive menu items. Also on the bill they calculate the tip amount off of percentages that are based on the total amount which includes tax instead of just the food and drinks. That's not right.

Very cute rooftop, but not the most comfortable seating. Our server was very nice but they seemed short staffed because it took a while to be able to get refills or drink orders. Food was good. I had the pasta with chicken. Drinks were good. Vies are nice. Paid parking nextdoor. Would I go back? Probably a one time thing.

My best friend picked this spot out and I am so glad she did! The crab cakes were heavenly! The plantains were sooo flavorful and the perfect texture! Drinks were on point and presentation was A1! The Elote was elite and the service was super friendly and attentive! My friend did mention that it was my birthday when making the reservation but nothing came from it. We celebrated all week so no big deal at all, just literally the only feedback I'd have is communication from the front to waitstaff. I will absolutely go back when I'm back in LA! Everything was superb!

WOW, I complained about how I got up-charged 50% on my bill. It was supposed to be around $600 but they billed me $1300. Today, there was another $200+ charge on my card. WTF Wayfarer? I have tried everything I can, phone calls, emails to the director...I am completely ignored. This is absolutely ridiculous. Do I need to go there to get someone to talk to me? Try calling the restaurant - all you get is a recording with a full inbox. How unprofessional. This is FRAUD! The only person I feel bad for here, is the Food and Beverage Manager, Lewis, who has been nothing but nice and trying to help me this whole time.

It was a bit early but the weather was so nice and the vacation mode kicked in we had drinks and food was delicious only thing i can say was the tuna looked a little dark and i would like to have some jalapeño. Brussels sprouts with nuts are so darn good the sauce is sweet but i enjoyed my daughter said too sweet. Cesar kale salad with chicken was tasty i highly recommend. I would like to come back the chicken and waffles plate looked Scrumptious! thank you for your service! Steven Rocks!!

This is a beautiful restaurant bar located downtown LA. The restrooms were filthy. The service here was excellent. The food was not great I got the Crab cakes They were over cooked and flavorless. I also had two mock tails they were delicious, I forgot the names of them. Overall if you're looking for a restaurant with a view this is a good place to go to. The food is soso. This was my second time here. And I will probably go back.

Customer service was top tier! They had issues with water. And at one point thought we may not be able to dine, but they accommodated us just fine! Food on a of Scale 1-10 it was a 9 and that goes for everyone at my table. We had the chicken/waffles and the cheeseburger and fries. Weren't a fan of all the fruit atop the waffles but we ate good so there you have it. Honestly It was the atmosphere and service that made a world of difference. You want a place to chill especially when the weather is beautiful that's it! It's clean, furniture comfy, truly a rooftop experience, easy parking and fun. No issues just fun times.

First time coming and it was a great experience. My husband and I did the Rooftop Executive Chef brunch experience and it was great! Everything in the menu was delicious...the menu didn't disappoint at all, every meal in the menu was worth it!!! Everything portioned properly, it wasn't over-filling, it was just right! The day was perfect too because the weather was awesome to be in the rooftop, especially after the rainfall we've had for the past couple of months! Definitely will be coming back for dinner and/or happy hour, would love to see how the vibe is at night when the brunch was awesome!

Was staying at this hotel for a few days so we decided to try the rooftop and was not disappointed! (Bonus when you stay, they give you a $25 credit you can use at the restaurant.) We tried their brunch the first day and then dinner the rest of the days. You have to try for app their elote 10/10 and this bread with ricotta I think it was 10/10. The pork with maduros was very good. The pork wasn't dry at all! Very flavorful. They have a ny strip and it was also sooo good! We tried their "farroz con pollo" and it was alright as a concept. The chicken thankfully tasted good but the rice wasn't that flavorful. When we went for brunch we tried their tacos which was very tasty. (Steak and fish) The service was amazing at the restaurant. Very attentive of us and friendly. BUT don't recommend ordering for pick up because the person picking up the phone was kinda rude. He made it a big deal. Ambiance was intimate. I loved the decor and the view from here. They have these fire pits in some areas they turn on at night to keep you warm. Definitely can go casual or dressy!

Food was brought out really fast, and it was tasty. It took some time to get a waiter to take our order which maybe there wasn't a enough staff for a Monday night, but he was very friendly when he did take our order. The fries had some cajun seasoning which was really good and the Brussels sprouts were perfectly fried with a dark sauce. I got a LA girl which was super refreshing. The Pain Killer was all alcohol but you couldn't even taste it, and the mango unchained was so good my friend got two. The view wasn't that nice but it was still a mood to be up there. Overall the prices were decent and they do have a happy hour min-friday

Came for lunch and we were seated in a table that was barely covered. It was one of the hottest days this week too so it was quite warms and unpleasant. Another thing to note was that we did not have set server. So for the first 30 mins of being seated, we didn't have anyone come check on us and we're just cooking in the sun with no water. Eventually we waved down some other server and they came by to tell us they'll get our server. We then asked to move tables because ours wasn't cover and they were able to relocate us to the table under the plant canopy. One thing to note was that there wasn't much airflow so that area was quite stuffy. We then again, had to wave someone down to take our order because we didn't have a set server at the new table. It was quite unorganized and made the meal more uncomfortable and unwelcoming. After ordering, our food took a while to arrive maybe 30+ minutes. At the time the restaurant was quite empty as it was already 2PM. The dishes were interesting part of the chefs brunch. Portions are pretty small though, almost like tapas or for like 2 bites. They all had many ingredients which was interesting, some went well better than others. Half way through the meal, someone from our group wasn't feeling well so they needed to rest, luckily there was space but the staff rarely came over and when they did they approached us with a cold shoulder almost trying to kick us out and not offer any support to help. We stayed for a while until our friend felt better, and there was no one around us. When we did left on of the servers approached us very aggressively and spoke to us in a very condescending way. I understand the frustrating but there was definitely a nicer way to approach the situation. Food -- 7/10 small portions, a lot of different flavors some worked better than others Service -- 1/10 rude, non attentive, unapproachable, hostile tone Ambiance (daytime) -- 6/10 it was okay, there's an open roof, but a lot of plants blocking the view and tables are a bit cramped and music a bit too loud

I stayed here for 2 nights and had such a great experience. On my first night, Wednesday, I went up to the roof top bar and there was live music. The band was lively, upbeat, and such a pleasure to hear! The hotel itself had so many pros; Clean, near several food options (ihop, subway, food trucks, 5 minute walk from shake shack), great drinks at the bar, and super comfy beds!

Very cute rooftop bar in Downtown LA. I went for my birthday also their is a lounge as well. My friend surprised me with lunch on the rooftop. Great views, amazing service and delicious food. Definitely a great Sunday Funday activity. Parking can be a little difficult, I suggest Uber/Lyft. There is street parking.

Surprisingly great deal and quality on the executive chef brunch menu...my wife and I went for her birthday and enjoyed a great meal and both of us chose different items from each section so we were able to enjoy a wide variety of their brunch dishes and were happy with each course...for the price and the amount of food and drinks you receive i feel like it's well worth it and come hungry if you do want to experience this brunch menu!! Service was excellent and our waiter Andrew was even able to surprise my wife with a birthday beignet!! The cookies were also excellent and I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty each item was! It's a rooftop patio and it was a little hot but they were able to give us some shade so wasn't too bad. Would highly recommend this brunch menu if you're staying in the area and looking for a brunch spot!!

Honestly felt like a waste of my money coming here.. Service was just okay.. We asked for a seat with just minimal sun, and were seated at a table with just full out sun.. had to ask to be reseated to somewhere else. What was the most disappointing was the food. The food here is not cheap, but they also weren't that of high quality either.. My. friend and I both asked for medium rare for our steak. As seen in the picture, it was basically fully cooked.. I doubled checked with our waitress that this indeed was "medium rare". I didn't even see pink in the meat.. The meat was so hard to chew and I ended up not finishing it. Also, for the price, I can't believe all they gave was this steak on top of some mashed potatoes.. I forget what the other dish my friend got, but this noodle dish was also disappointing. First, my friend is vegetarian and does not eat meat.. But when it first came out, it came out with meat.. We had to ask for it to be remade.. Then, when we did try it, the noodles were soggy and overcooked.. Overall, thought it would be a good experience at a rooftop bar/area for lunch with friends in LA, but we left being disappointed with both the service and food.

As ALWAYS, I highly recommend Rooftop Bar! Had reservations made just for sunset and caught this beautiful video... I recommend to everyone! Ended up asking the waiter what drinks he recommended and he didn't disappoint. Ended up crying some small plates as well like the cheese curds and they were yummy! As usual, we will be returning again. Thank you!

Trendy chic vibe at The Rooftop at The Wayfarer that'll leave you with an Insta experience and some nice tan lines. We had an early dinner reservation for 5:30pm on a Thursday evening after hunting for a metered street parking spot (there are also some $10-$20 paid lots in the area). We were greeted by some friendly faces and seated immediately upon arrival. We played a bit of musical chairs by switching tables 3 times in attempts to dodge the sun. Our server was extremely accommodating in getting us a table with some shade. We had the ahi tuna tartare to share and I had the Thai peanut noodles with chicken for my entree. Both dishes were large in portion and tasty! The Thai peanut noodles were flavorful, packed with veggies, and hearty. Our server checked in on us a couple times and made sure our water was consistently filled. Super necessary since it was a scorching hot day. The rooftop has awesome DTLA views, and is trendy with it's ankle length ducky pool and bar seating. Definitely a versatile spot to spend your time working, socializing, and enjoying some good eats.

The ceviche gave us food poisoning!!!! The food was good overall but later that night my friend couldn't not stop throwing up. later that day i started to feel sick and throw up a lot. i couldn't stop throwing up and my other friend also got sick that same day. This stomach pain is the worse pain i have felt and me and my freinds are all sick and having to go to the doctor. (we all shared this dish)

I dropped in on Memorial weekend with my bestie for a girls lunch date. The lobby area of this hotel is artsy and just beautiful. We had reservations and we were seated in our preferred table, there were plenty of options. We started with drinks, both ordering the Mango Margarita. We also ordered the Chopped Salad with chicken and the Rooftop Burger! WOWWWW!!! This food was amazing! The burger melted in our mouths! We didn't want the waiter to even take our plates away. The salad is a star too! We finished everything with two lemon drop shots! Perfect ending to a much needed girls date!

Mark was our bartender. Super friendly and knowledgeable on the drinks. Recommended his favorite the Saturn and it was great. Will definitely be coming back for more drinks. I regret not taking a picture of my drink.

Came here for the chef's brunch. Was very pleased overall. It is a very good amount of food, drinks are included. For what you get, it is a great value. Our waiter was very polite and personable. Other staff were friendly as well. The brunch skirt steak was wonderfully cooked and tender. Side of eggs and roasted corn. The strawberries with coconut crema were a great starter. Tasted like a tropical parfait. Tuna tartare was excellent. Fresh tuna with Wasabi and Sriracha aioli and crispy Wontons. Good food, good drinks, and a view! Parking score 1.5/5 Definitely Uber/taxi here. Valet (through the hotel) is available. Paid parking is available in adjacent structure. I would just valet if you drive here (and I hate valet parking everywhere but casinos).

I love a good rooftop with views of the city and this place delivered! They have fire pits and comfortable seating. Our wait staff were very helpful with food and drink recommendations. Ahi tartare was very good as were the crab cakes, highly recommend. The salmon dish was not my favorite. The salmon was cooked well, however it came with what I think was puréed mashed potatoes. Not a fan, didn't finish it and ordered a side of fries. The fries were great, nicely seasoned! Overall, this rooftop is definitely one to check out for the chill vibes and drinks.
