"Located on the top floor of an old office building overlooking Pershing Square, Perch is the kind of place that makes you realize LA actually isn’t all freeways and palm trees. The view of downtown from Perch’s outdoor patio is spectacular, and its fire pits, nightly live jazz music, and a solid French-leaning menu don’t hurt either. The mood at Perch varies depending on when you’re there - weekdays are low-key, but it definitely becomes a little bit of a scene on the weekends, so get your little black dress ready.

"After a long day of meetings that could have been emails, you and your co-workers deserve a solid drink. If your office is in DTLA, that's when you'd head to Perch. The Downtown rooftop has a massive two-story outdoor space, a classic French menu filled with dishes like buttery steak frites and linguica-filled bouillabaisse, and various string quartets and live bands throughout the week. Plus, unlike most spots with 360-degree views of the city skyline, you can still get a drink here for under $10 during their weekday Happy Hour." - brant cox, nikko duren
"Perch is a place that makes us wonder why DTLA doesn’t have more rooftops. There are a couple of different options for private dining here, from a smaller patio and a much larger bar to its gaudy sister concept Mrs. Fish that seats up to 150. Wherever you end up, you’ll be eating solid French food with some excellent views. Capacity: 28 on the patio, 75 at the private bar, full buyout of Mrs. Fish." - sylvio martins
"You’re feeling fancy. You’re done with the mediocre pancakes and hash browns you eat every other weekend, and looking to change it up. Perch is the kind of place where you can feel all grown up - and not have to spend all your savings to do so. Located on a 16th-floor rooftop overlooking downtown, Perch is the kind of place you never even thought existed in LA. There’s live jazz music, outdoor fire pits, and a solid French-tinged menu for all your brunch needs." - brant cox
"Perch in Downtown LA has two separate patios on the 15th and 16th floors of a building overlooking Pershing Square, where you can sit amidst fire pits, stare out over the city, and eat dinner from their French-leaning menu. They’re open for dinner seven days a week and weekend brunch from 11:30am-3:30pm. Reservations can be made here." - brant cox, brett keating
