"Videre is a laidback restaurant on top of the Kimpton Hotel that offers a great view of the city and mountains in the distance, and a pool that’s not much larger than the one in your friend’s backyard. The dressed-up bar food is good for snacking, like fried chicken bites with two kinds of aioli or shrimp tacos with sweet mango slaw. They also offer brunch until 5pm every weekend, in case you want to eat brioche french toast under an umbrella. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - Cathy Park
"Perched atop the stylish Hotel Wilshire, The Roof shares the air with city billboards and the occasional drifting balloon. Celeb chef, check. Great wine list, check. Mouth-watering cocktails brimming with fresh fruits, herbs and house-made ingredients, check. As evening approaches, cure your drunk munchies with a grilled cheese and cozy up at the crystal fire pit. Careful when you get up, though. At seven stories high, the elevation might make you a little dizzy. Or maybe it’s the Moscow Mule. Cheers." - Huge
"This stunning Mid-Wilshire rooftop bar and restaurant has a “work drinks”-inspired cocktail menu available from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays. Videre’s specials include $12 cocktails named after email lingo like Per My Last Email (a vodka mule), EOD (a zero-proof margarita), and Circling Back (Tom Collins). The Just Checking In is just an Old Fashioned, something that helps answer that dreaded office phrase." - Rebecca Roland
"This gorgeous, relaxed rooftop experience at the top of the Kimpton Hotel offers a solid mix of thoughtful cocktails and easygoing food, all managed by a veteran of West Hollywood’s Employees Only. Videre is pure poolside vibes with views of the city and hills while offering shareable plates like miso Caesar salad or ‘nduja clams with garlic and fennel." - Mona Holmes, Rebecca Roland
"Videre is the latest concept to open on top of the Kimpton Wilshire Hotel. The rooftop space has always been known for its fantastic views, but now it might finally have decent food and cocktails to pair with it. The menu has a standard selection of club sandwiches and grain bowls, but the cocktails are curated by the people behind Employees Only. " - Sylvio Martins
