Upstairs at Ace Hotel

24 Best Bars in Los Angeles | Condé Nast Traveler

"Upstairs at The Ace is an urban rooftop oasis where you can indulge in peak people watching poolside, and take in the scene at one of the bar’s popular day parties. The drink menu is well suited for a poolside crowd, with summery concoctions like the Almost Famous (made with bell pepper-infused mestizo mezcal, ancho reyes, aperol, and lime) and pitchers of Micheladas. To eat, you'll find shredded beef tacos, flash-fried Brussels sprouts, nachos, and Cubano sandwiches, and the bar staff gets the job done with a smile. It’s ideal for a dose of summer vibes and fantastic people watching." - Krista Simmons, Hugh Garvey
