The Roof at EDITION

On our lists of the best rooftop bars and cocktail bars in Los Angeles.

Fourteen floors above the Sunset Strip, The Roof sits in what amounts to a glass box atop the EDITION hotel, with a terrace of wooden benches, mature trees, and terra cotta planters framing the view. The kitchen runs Latin-leaning small plates: duck confit tacos finished with candied cacao nibs, a striped bass taco with morita aioli, next to a cocktail list built around mezcal and tequila. Saturday nights draw the biggest crowd and the tightest reservations; a day pass through ResortPass gets non-hotel-guests onto the pool deck on quieter afternoons.
