A rooftop night in Hollywood
Go up for sunset, come down for dinner.
6 spots · Jump to the list
A rooftop is an easy opening move: the view gives you something to talk about, and a drink at sunset sets up the rest of the night. The good ones fill up around golden hour, so aim to arrive before the sun goes down. Some are bars on top of a restaurant; all of them are worth the trip up for a drink, even if dinner happens somewhere else.
This guide ranks 6 rooftop bars in Hollywood. Editors' picks come first, then the rest by rating, and the plans below build a whole evening around the best of them.
