New American fare, strong cocktails, and stunning 360-degree skyline views
"Located on the 12th story of the Waldorf Astoria, this lush rooftop patio serves a panoramic experience that’s just as luxurious as the neighborhood it’s housed in. Emerald green chairs are draped in satin, cocktails are strong and tasty (we like the slightly spicy ginger margarita), and you’ll have a view of the city that’ll either make you feel like a bird soaring over the California coastline." - brant cox, arden shore
"Views, views, and more views. Outside of laying on the beach and seeing a celebrity at the grocery store, it’s the most common request from LA visitors. Go big and take them to Rooftop at JG. From the 360-degree terrace on top of the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills, you can see the Hollywood Hills, downtown, the ocean, and if the smog is cooperating, Mt. Baldy. All the food is wildly mediocre and overpriced, so just do what we do and skip it entirely. Instead, plan to come for a cocktail as the sun sets and head to Dan Tana’s down the street for chicken parm." - brant cox
"The Rooftop By JG is back open at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills. Focus on the cocktails - we like the ginger margarita - which are ideal for drinking next to a pool and pretending the world isn’t on fire. Open for lunch and dinner daily, as well as brunch on the weekends. Reservations encouraged." - brant cox, brett keating
"Here’s the thing about the Rooftop By JG—it’s located on top of the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills, which means by just breathing here, you’ll probably get charged $20. But it also has one of the most jaw-dropping views in the city. Skip the food and head to the nearly 360-degree space for a few cocktails as the sun sets. It’s our go-to spot when we really want to show off the city to visiting family and friends." - brant cox
"Sceney rooftops are as quintessentially LA as farmers’ markets overflowing with gorgeous produce. But this one, located on top of the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills, offers some of the most impressive skyline views in the city. You’ll take a very shiny elevator up 12 floors to get here, and come face-to-face with a crowd that looks extremely ready for its close-up. The food here is fairly unremarkable (and expensive, obviously), so we recommend treating Rooftop by JG like a very luxurious bar, especially if you’re in the mood for sparkling wine or a martini at sunset. You will need a reservation for a table on weekends, but during weekday Happy Hour, the place is usually wide open for walk-ins." - brant cox, nikko duren, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
