Established in 1927, Highland Park Bowl originated during the midst of prohibition, and the building housed numerous doctors offices on the second floor, a pharmacy, music store, and recreation space.. At this time, patrons obtained legal doctors notes for medicinal whiskey upstairs, then headed downstairs to fill the prescription at the pharmacy, which allowed permissible boozing and bowling. In 1933, the music store acquired a live music permit and fulfilled yet another spirited layer of culture into the destination.

There’s a party happening at the intersection of La Cienega and Melrose—and while everyone is invited, not everyone may feel like they fit in with the too-cool crowd. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give L.P. Rooftop a try, though; after all, the view is so stellar and the drinks are so fun, you can cozy up near some neon and just take it all in stride. Located above E.P., a restaurant featuring a hodgepodge of vibrant Asian cuisine, you’ll find L.P., the rooftop bar with killer views and swanky, photo-ready, fun-loving clientele. Share spiked bubble tea with new friends as the sun sets on West Hollywood. Hit this roof at just the right time during the summer and you can even catch an outdoor screening—and yes, there are snacks.

We’re big fans of Mama Shelter as a hotel and a restaurant, but once we saw the rooftop, we decided we just might move in for good. The bright space is splattered with multicolored sofas and chairs where you can lounge while waiting for your salmon pita to arrive. Cocktails veer from the Mediterranean with a full Moscow mule bar, though you can also find multiple sangrias. On warm nights, you can dance under the stars while DJs spin an eclectic mix of music, or take in a classic movie on their outdoor screen. There’s also a foosball table, a yoga area and sweeping views of Hollywood. Like we said we’re never leaving.

Dark, sexy and surprisingly unpretentious à la its clientele Bar Bandini is the neighborhood wine bar Echo Park didn’t know it needed. Somehow, Bar Bandini manages to simultaneously accomplish cool and cozy, providing a unique inventory and ambiance that not only wows on arrival, but invites you to stay for more (more flirting, that is).

Brent Bolthouse brings Hollywood to Santa Monica’s Fairmont Hotel with this indoor/outdoor bar and lounge, a veritable watering hole for Westside bros and ladies who look Coachella-ready at all times. Think: tree house hideaway by the Pacific, clad with an outdoor fire pit, ocean views, a pool table, dart boards, a ping-pong table and pricey specialty drinks that set the mood (and get you in the mood) for a Baja getaway. It’s a weekend house party on Friday and Saturday nights and on Sunday afternoons, but if you want to keep the sleaze factor to a minimum, aim for a weeknight visit.

Reinventing the once divey Hermosillo Bar, Highland Park Brewery uses this York Boulevard mainstay as its own sort of taproom—that’s right, it’s in the bar and you can woo your crush by dropping some craft-beer knowledge. The unfussy space—round, tufted leather booths, scattered tables and a central bar is just busy enough to be happening during the week and more bumping on weekends.
