Upstairs at Ace Hotel

"Upstairs Bar at the Ace Hotel, Downtown La. Perched atop the Ace Hotel which resides in the historic United Artists Theater and Tower on Broadway (built in 1927), is a Moroccan-themed drinking nest complemented with wood furniture, seat pillows, a great cocktail menu and a gorgeous view of the city skyline. Upstairs Bar is chill spot to grab a beverage and indulge in a bit of conversation with other designers in the early afternoon before the flock of hipsters fly in."

"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

"Situated above the Ace Hotel right on the main strip of L.A.’s Broadway Theatre District, this rooftop patio epitomizes laid-back." - Susannah Chen
