Came here with my besties for a quiet evening chat and catch-up, and it was the perfect spot. Hipico is located on the rooftop of the new Hilton in Arcadia, overlooking the Santa Anita racetrack with the San Gabriel Mountains in the background. Golden hour here is beautiful -- the sunset alone is worth coming for. Everything was very pleasant, but the highlight was definitely the service. Our waitress was so welcoming and had the warmest smile, which made the whole evening feel even better. For a rooftop bar, the food was surprisingly delicious. We ordered a lot: Caesar salad, grilled octopus, flatbread, chicken wings, tortilla chips, and cocktails. The Caesar salad was so good, the octopus was beautifully plated and tender, the flatbread was crispy, the wings were crispy and tangy, and even the tortilla chips were great. The cocktails were also very tasty, especially their espresso martini drink. Arcadia and the San Gabriel Valley really needed a modern, trendy rooftop spot like this. It gives a little West Hollywood energy, but with SGV warmth and humble, friendly service. I'll definitely be coming back more often. read more

Amazing vibe, great food, drinks are ok but left a bit to be desired. But hey, in Arcadia, this place is top notch. Even has a DJ playing music on a Saturday night. Parking situation is a bit of a problem, to my surprise. There is a row of handicap parking but on Saturday evening, they are all occupied by 6pm. It doesn't seem like between the hotel guests and restaurant guests, there are enough parking spots and no real street parking options nearby too. There is a parking structure but we didn't venture in there and not sure if there is a charge for it. It is quite far from the hotel for handicapped access. read more

It was pretty busy when we visited but glad we made a reservation and had a great booth right by the heat lamps. Both the drinks and food were really enjoyable. We ordered the shrimp ceviche, queso fundido flatbread, chicken wings, and fries, and everything turned out great. You can tell there's effort put into making each dish and drink. Love checking out rooftop bars and would love to come back to enjoy the view during the daytime for some sun/sunset! read more

Free parking in the lot. read more

First time at Hípico and it was a great experience! I've been eying this place for a while (on my drive home). The view of Santa Anita race track and the sunset were a plus! Had two storm chasers--delicious. Hubby had beer. We also had the brisket flat bread and burger. All so good! Cherry on top was Juan's service! 5 star for sure! Will definitely come back soon! read more

A friend and I were just looking to grab a quick drink and somehow stumbled upon this hidden gem and wow, what a find! From the moment we got there, everything exceeded our expectations. The drinks and appetizers were absolutely phenomenal, so flavorful and beautifully presented. They had a DJ playing, which really kept the vibe fun and lively without being overwhelming. It felt like the perfect balance of chill and upbeat. Taylor was our server and truly made the experience even better super attentive, friendly, and really knowledgeable about the menu. We also had the pleasure of meeting the manager, David, who came by to introduce himself. He was so kind and personable, and we really appreciated that extra touch. And I can't forget the views absolutely spectacular. If you're thinking about going, definitely time it for sunset and grab a drink. You won't regret it. Already looking forward to our next visit! read more

It's great to see more rooftop bars popping up in the SGV since there are so few around. This is a really nice spot to catch up with people over drinks. The cocktails and the space itself are visually stunning, and they have plenty of outdoor heaters if it gets cold, which is a big plus. I also like that it's located at a Hilton, so parking in the structure is easy and stress-free. The cocktails are a bit on the pricier side, but they make their own infused liqueurs, which makes it feel worth it. I could definitely see this becoming a go-to hangout spot for locals. I'd absolutely come back here every once in a while when I'm in the area and craving a well-made cocktail. read more

Hipico Rooftop Bar - Horse play - Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

Came here on Saturday to meet up with my cousin for dinner. We were sat down right away. Service at first seemed slow but then it started to get better except for the part were I think they gave our food to another table because when our waiter came over and saw that we didn't have any food he realized what happened and he apologized then the manager came over and also apologized and compted half of our meal and gave us free dessert. The food was delicious. We had the waguy burgers, gobernador tacos and guacamole with chips. For dessert, we got the churro creme' brulee. The rooftop views were breathtaking and beautiful. I definitely would be back, regardless of the minor issues because they were corrected and everyone was so nice and very apologetic. I definitely recommend Hipico to anyone looking for something different, unique and delicious food. read more

WOW!!! It's about time we got a place like this in the SGV--Arcadia to be exact. We've visited Hipico Rooftop several times now and have never been disappointed. They've added a DJ who's phenomenal and really elevates the ambiance. The service is impeccable, and as a bonus, we met Chef Denise last night--the menu absolutely knocks it out of the park! If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by--and staying. The views of the Santa Anita Racetrack, especially at sunset, is beautiful. David, kudos on a job well done I see nothing but good things in the future. read more

Finally a rooftop bar in Arcadia! Hipico is stunning. It's modern and well kept. We got the corn ribs (delicious) and Asian style fries (not on the menu, but the star of the night). The Purple Haze was great. The downside: We made reservations through open table and were told it was fully sold out for the night. The host was great and figured out how to get us a seat since we had reservations confirmed anyways. Make sure you call instead of booking online! It was a busy night and our drinks arrived when we were about 70% done with our food. I was about to cancel our drink orders when our wonderful server came along with the drinks. All of the staff were amazing. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I made reservations for a Sunday at 12:30 PM. We got an excellent spot that was in the shade. I'm so glad we did because it was very hot and nobody wanted to sit out in the sun as their umbrellas were not creating the shade since the sun was shifting. I ordered an initial drink, but when the drink came out, it was literally half full. I asked the waiter what happened and I showed him what the difference looks like and he said this is just how the drink comes out. Mind you it also had a bunch of ice in it so I couldn't even tell you how minimal that drink was. It looked like it was a shot of something with a bunch of ice. My friend got the Crimson blush and that was filled to the rim, but for some reason, my drink looked like it was half drinking already when they brought it out. I told them please take it back and give me a cRimson blush. That drink came out to the rim and that I enjoyed. We both ordered the burger with fries. Their server told us that they only make it medium or medium well and we will get one or the other. I thought that was interesting when I specifically ordered medium well, but I had already sent a drink back so I wasn't going to say anything about it. There were a couple of functions going on and it just seemed like the weight staff was overwhelmed. Our service was just OK, but it was way too loud and there were way too many screaming kids that were running around. I felt like this has the potential to be something great but with so many kids screaming and running around unsupervised, it was pretty annoying. When I tell you, I had to raise my voice to even speak to my friend that I was with that was sitting right next to me, that shows you how loud it was. The table next to us sat down and was there for about 10 minutes and they ended up leaving and we asked why and they said because it was really loud and chaotic. We felt the exact same way as well. This place is probably nicer in the evening as long as there's not a bunch of screaming kids. I feel like this is a nice area for like people to come and try to relax, but that is not what we got when we were here. The food was actually pretty decent. I enjoyed my burger and fries. Zero complaints about that. The atmosphere is just not what I had in mind. read more

I visited this place two weeks ago with a group from work. It's a cute spot on top of the Hilton, across from the racetracks. It has ample and comfy seating and cut decor. Since I was last to arrive we did have to ask for additional cutlery and extra plate, other guests in my party also needed items. There was a little wait for these things but in the end it all got resolved. I sampled the flatbread with pork and kimchi. It was pretty tasty. I also enjoy the Clarified del Sol. That was refreshing and had the right amount of everything. Our server was friendly and helpful, and the manager visited th tables to inquire about service needs. Parking was full so be on the lookout for that. I'd visit again to sample other food offerings. read more

Been to Hipico a few times and every time it's been absolutely amazing. First off, exiting the elevator I was greeted by the hostess. Her name is Judy. Extremely welcoming and full of energy. She gave me the option of bar seating or a table. I chose the bar because it was busy the times I was there. She did check to make sure I was ok, and if a table opens she would make sure I was seated. I like that sort of attention. At the bar the two bartenders Justin and Jose were also amazing. Delicious drinks, fast service and great conversation. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Stayed a couple hours and everything was perfect Definitely recommend. read more

Highly recommend. This is a rare rooftop gem in Arcadia. I hosted a singles event here and the space was perfect. It's spacious, well laid out, and works really well for events. The atmosphere is great, the service is professional, and the food is genuinely good. Even though it's a newer venue, everything was run very smoothly. There was none of the usual confusion you sometimes get with new restaurants. From start to finish, the experience felt well organized and seamless. I was very happy with the overall experience and will definitely be coming back. read more

This is a beautiful new rooftop bar at the new Hilton hotel here. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot and it's relatively close to the Arcadia mall if you ever go to hang out with friends I need a spot for a happy hour afterwards. We were lucky to arrive on one of the opening days, so it was easy to get a reservation and it was a perfect spot for the sunset the food was great and I would describe as upscale, and the service was also a wonderful Hoping for their success, can't wait for my next visit! read more

Visited this rooftop lounge after opening day at Santa Anita and we got there right before sunset. They provide blankets if you get cold which was a nice touch. We ordered the seasonal espresso martinis and they were so good. Staff and management were very nice and helpful. It got pretty busy but our server Ariana was great. I like the fact that management was very hands on helping, because of the busy crowd. The food was all great, we tried the tacos governador, the burger and the flat bread. Everything was tasty. The only thing I wished for was a different salad option, like a simple wedge salad would be great as another option to the asian salad. The heat lamps were great as it does get cold up there. Definitely will be back! read more

Hipico Rooftop Bar - Margarita flight & purple haze... - Bars Near Me - Arcadia, California

Beautiful view of Santa Anita Park and Huntington Drive. The food was delicious with WOW presentation. We started with grilled octopus and that became our favorite for the visit. The charred brocolini was very flavorful; the chef spelled out the chewy part and that was not often seen in the restaurants. The octopus was grilled to perfection and tasted great with the sauce or without. Also tried the tacos and staff recommended shrimp ceviche. The tacos hit the spot on a chili day, the meat was juicy and tender. The shrimp ceviche was very refreshing and I loved the house made chips. For drinks, we had their winter espresso martini and Horse Play; which was a bit on the sour side. Then we ordered the old fashioned and a lemon drop as it gets colder after sunset. The rooftop bar has a few sections that is designed for all size of parties. There are two tops along the we glass windows, larger parties tables with fire pit and regular tables under the roof. It's a great place to meet with friends over delicious drinks while enjoying the view. P.S. they do have mocktail options! read more

We recently had a reservation for 6 at 5 PM on a Saturday and were seated right away. Hipico had only been open for about a month when we visited. It has an open rooftop space with lots of cozy spots to hang out, and they do offer blankets, but it gets pretty cold once the sun goes down so I'd still bring a jacket. The sunset over the Santa Anita Park was really pretty and easily the highlight. We ordered the Guacamole, Shishito Peppers, Sweet Heat Wagyu Burger, an off-menu Arcadia Wagyu Burger, and the Pork Kimchi Flatbread. Service was good and the food was decent, but it felt pricey, especially for the area. I'd come back for the views though and would be curious to check out their happy hour. read more

I was coming from an event and needed a good brunch to liven back up before heading home. I heard there was a new rooftop restaurant with a view of the Santa Anita racetrack and decided to give it a try. Man am I glad I did!!! First of all the host Judy was the sweetest and gave me the best seating options with the bar or views of the horses exercising and her favorite entree recommendations. I opted for the bar and heat lamps. I got the BEST Bloody Mary and a Brunch Burger and let me tell you it hit the spot. The wagyu patty was cooked perfectly and the egg just the right amount of runny. The double fried fries were crispy and fluffy. The bartender Justin made just about the best Bloody Mary I've had, with freshly cooked bacon. They told me that they have DJs and other events in the evenings and the rooftop even has heaters and blankets! So glad I came and I'll definitely be back. read more

Finally a rooftop bar in Arcadia. With all the stunning views in the area, I could never understand why we're not lousy with rooftop bars. The layout and decor are perfect for meeting friends or an intimate dinner. Nice mix of tables and couches if you want a more of a lounge vibe. It reminds me of the Hotel Irwin on the Westside. Nice mix of cocktails, beer, wine and food. The service was top notch. Surprised there are no Mountain views but the sunsets should be spectacular. Can't wait to come when it's lighter later but still love the ambience at night. read more

I do hope they add more wines to their list it's very limited . Our server let us know they do have brunch and I would like to try it. Will definitely be back.

Quite disappointed with particularly the service here. I understand the restaurant has been opened for around 4 months, but it was incredibly disorganized from the get go. Upon arriving, no one was at the front desk to take us to our table. Once seated, our server informed us he'd be back with water and to take our order - we waited over 20-25 minutes for him to come back. Once he came by, it was clear that he wasn't sure what was on the menu or what was going on as he thought our order had already been taken. When naming what food and drinks we wanted ordered, it took a few tries telling him until he understood exactly what we wanted. Throughout waiting for our meal, not only was our meal initially brought to the wrong table but several items from other tables were brought to us where we had to tell the servers they weren't ours. Clearly the servers were unaware of what orders went to who. The food itself was good but we noticed that a few other guests were making complaints about the service. The octopus was good and the shrimp ceviche was decent. The wine, cocktails, and champagne were also nice. One particular standout was we noticed the manager was going around asking how everything was to a few other neighboring tables but totally bypassed us. This was interesting since every party they went to were white while us as POC were ignored. Unfortunately, Hipico has a lot to work on and until the I'd advise being wary of service. read more
