I|O Rooftop

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

On the seventh floor of the Godfrey Hotel on Cahuenga, 12,000 square feet of deck and indoor room wraps a pool, with one bar inside and another out in the open air. Movies and live TV play across a wall big enough to watch from anywhere on the floor. The music stays low enough to talk over, and seating areas set back from the main deck will hold a conversation.
