    DTLA view
    Danny V.

    High above the city, this rooftop destination is more than just a bar, it's an entire experience. It stands just across the street from Crypto aka Staples Center and the convention center. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with stunning skyline views that stretch across Downtown Los Angeles, setting the tone for an unforgettable night. What makes it stand out is the variety, multiple rooms and themed spaces keep the energy fresh as you explore. Whether you're in the mood for live entertainment, dancing, or a more laid-back lounge vibe, there's something happening around every corner. The highlight has to be the open-air carousel-style bar, a unique centerpiece that adds a fun, upscale twist while you sip cocktails under the city lights. Food options are just as impressive, with a mix of flavors and delicious bites that go way beyond typical bar fare, perfect for pairing with drinks as you bounce between rooms. They even have a wrestling ring with great looking women Overall: A must-visit rooftop in DTLA if you want incredible views, diverse entertainment, and a vibrant, multi-room atmosphere all in one place.

    We attended the Chinese New Year event on Feb 26 that was advertised as "all you can eat and all you can drink." Unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've ever had. Our group had 10 people and spent about $1,600, expecting a festive event with good food and drinks. Instead, the entire night was basically spent standing in lines and waiting for food that barely came out. The restaurant clearly oversold the event without having the capacity to serve the crowd. Examples from the night: * The lobster station was cooking only about 8 lobsters at a time, while 20+ people were waiting. * The sushi station had around 50 people in line, with a single sushi chef making less than one roll per minute. * Food trays were constantly empty and took a long time to refill. After hours of waiting, each person in our group ended up with only about two drinks, three very small sushi rolls, and a small scoop of fried rice. That was essentially the entire "all you can eat" experience. For $160 per person, this felt extremely misleading. When a restaurant promotes an unlimited food and drink event, customers reasonably expect that the restaurant has the staffing, food preparation, and logistics to actually deliver it. Instead, it felt like the event was massively oversold with insufficient food and staff, leaving many guests waiting in long lines most of the night. Paying $160 and leaving still hungry and barely having had anything to drink is unacceptable. This event was poorly planned and very disappointing. I would strongly recommend thinking twice before attending similar events here.

    omg... the dumplings....

    I'm not sure how to describe a place like this. Batman meets Las Vegas, meets Greek rush week during an indoor Coachella. It's all the things, too many things, and not enough of some things. Wait... what was that Best Movie award for 2 years ago? "Anything, Everywhere, All at Once". There. That's Level 8. That means you'll either love it, hate it, respect it, or simply don't get it. From what I understand, Level 8 is essentially eight different themed bars and restaurants stacked together like a Vegas casino that couldn't decide on one concept. It's ambitious, chaotic, and definitely not for the faint of heart. But if you're the type who loves sensory overload, party energy, and a little bit of everything all at once, this place is basically your Disneyland. We ate at Maison Kasai, their teppanyaki restaurant, and I have to admit, it's one of the better teppanyaki experiences I've had, and I've traveled quite a bit for this style of dining. Teppanyaki itself is simple, so the magic is always in the details: service, timing, and the unexpected touches. For example, we were treated to a magic show before dinner (probably buying the kitchen some prep time). It was clever, fun, and actually set the tone nicely. The rest of the evening followed suit: fire flair, great service, and well-executed food. The pumpkin miso soup appetizer in particular felt like something with a Michelin-level touch. Really impressive. After dinner, things go... full Level 8. There was a wrestling match, an outdoor pool area, a speakeasy that was anything but quiet, and so many people moving around it felt like intermission at a Billie Eilish concert. If you enjoy high-energy chaos and a party atmosphere, this place is absolutely for you. I'll probably come back at least once more--if nothing else, just to show my kids the spectacle. After that, I'll happily step aside and let the next wave of party people take over.

    Very nice venue. Beautiful pools, cabanas, views. Needs help keeping food orders rolling. I was invited to a social event at this location with "LA Girl Code." It was advertised that in exchange for sharing feedback on the venue, we'd get to take photos on the roof and also get food. After waiting several hours, the "food" came in the form of ONE guacamole dip dish and a handful of tacos for over 30 women. It was laughable. It put a bad taste in my mouth for sure, however there may have been a disconnect with the venue and the group promoter. Not sure which one, but most of the girls left hungry and cranky. You just can't have that many people out getting drinks and dancing and then not deliver on the food. Because we had planned to eat, nobody ate beforehand. It may have been enhanced by the fact that there was another event going on, but either way, they should've been able to handle the orders at that capacity, otherwise don't allow that many people into a space. Again, it's a gorgeous venue. Hopefully you'll have a different experience under different circumstances.

    This is such a cute bar on the eighth level! I went there for an event called LPN and the place was decorated so cute! They had a lot of cute photo ops and s'mores for free! They have a DJ where they play all kinds of music. I ordered the mini burger sliders, which were delicious! They had the most perfect flavor and were cooked too perfect perfection! Even though the place was packed, the bartenders were fast and very friendly!

    This is a nice small casual spot to watch a game and drink some beer. We came in just for a beer and it seemed ok. It's actually right next to the market Whole Foods.

    My girlfriends and I visited on November 30, 2025 for the Wonderland Immersive Igloo Experience. The bartenders were great and the atmosphere was nice; however, the food fell short. I ordered the tacos, and the meat lacked flavor even with the salsa. My girlfriends ordered the sliders, and their food also lacked flavor.

    This place was really interesting. I have to say the ambiance was cool but the drinks were ridiculous. I ordered a Diet Coke and an amaretto sour and it was $30.00 without tip. Everyone was nice, but it was a bit weird to see so many people in their 30s, 40s and 50s dressed up to go clubbing. I think it's worth a trip to see all the different rooms, from burlesque, to Hookah lounge, to rooftop patio with winter vibes, to Taco Truck overlooking the LA skyline. This is definitely a hit spot for someone and I heard folks talking about how good the food was at certain rooms, but ultimately not for us. Stars for friendliness of staff amazing views and uniqueness of venue.

    Had a great time until about 1AM. The bouncer at the exit of Sinners Y Santos was rude and creepy. His name started with an K. My friend didn't show him interest and he started coming up to us telling us what a high value man he was and he started to threaten us. We were so upset because we had such a good night and the band was so good. We felt so threatened and we left. Our group thought it was so much fun but the fact that a worker was making us feel uncomfortable for not flirting with him is making us rethink returning. We also reported this to 3 bouncers at the front and they just said they would talk him. So sad that this is such a cute place but the workers wouldn't stand up for us.

    COMING HERE, is like going to multiple food spots / bars in one night. I highly recommend y'all come here. My fave spot is GOLDEN HOUR , There's a pool there the view is epic and the bar is all the aesthetics with MOVEMENT !!! I just tried drinks and some snacks here, so can't say more about dine in service. For me the bartenders and food truck service was okay, quick , and a lot of waiting at the food truck ... but it was worth it. I got LAVA COLADA AND MAI TAI. I Think for $22 the lava colada was worth it , because of the vibe and view. I've paid more for less of a view and a drink that's not as yummy . The fries was $8 by the food truck, and I got the corn in cup there too which I really enjoyed !:) THE MR WANDERLUST ROOM, with live piano was so good! They have drinks that light on fire, RICO SUAVE $23 Tres Generaciones Reposado Tequila, Ancho Reyes, Pineapple, Cinnamon, Ginger, Citrus... IT's not as tasty imo as the lava colada but worth the show ! 10/10 experience overall. Definitely one of the places you should checkout for fun , with friends or date night ! Oh the lady playing with fire was epic , she showed up by the pool area at night.

    Beautiful, atmospheric place that feels perfect for a relaxed evening. The lighting, open space, and pool area create a really stylish yet cozy vibe, especially at night. The bar is a highlight -- cocktails are well balanced, creative, and thoughtfully presented. You can tell the bartenders know what they're doing, not just mixing something sweet and calling it a day. Food was genuinely impressive. The meat was cooked perfectly -- tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Portions were solid, and the dishes felt clean and well thought out without being overcomplicated. Service was calm and attentive without being intrusive, which made the experience even better. Overall, everything felt intentional and high quality. Great spot for a date, a night with friends, or just a place to unwind. Would definitely come back. P.S. I had the meat dish inside the main dining area, not on the terrace. I'm not 100% sure if it's the same bar area, but the food was absolutely delicious.

From years back I remember her saying that she always wanted an LA Wedding, and this place made it happen. Rooftop venue, complete with skyline surroundings, and minimalist luxe table settings.

Everything from the apps to the dessert was perfect. Tips: Cornerspace location above Grammy museum. The entrance is a small door around the corner from Shaquille's. The guests get shuttles up by elevator. I read that the venue had a strict 150 event cap. For a Filipino wedding you can only imagine how difficult that is! The couple kept it adults only.

A few months ago, we were driving all over downtown looking for an urban rooftop wedding venue. (I will refrain from bashing some of the terrible/unresponsive venue coordinators we met). We were losing hope, but randomly stumbled across The Terrace through a Google search. I decided to call and leave a message. Nick called me back within minutes and we scheduled a time to check-out the venue the next day. Our first impression - "wow, this place is cool!" Very urban, very chic, and very LA. And there are many options to do a dual-venue event (Grammy Museum, Novo Lounge, etc). However, I immediately ruled it out because I assumed we couldn't afford the venue. However, we were pleasantly surprised by Nick's willingness to work with us. Through the entire planning process, Nick and his team were so patient, responsive and helpful. He was a great communicator. When certain things got held-up/delayed, he would call just to give me regular updates. Wedding planning is stressful, so I can't thank him enough for his professionalism and responsiveness. Nick is awesome. But it's not just Nick... Ali at the Grammy Museum, Jessica at Wolfgang Puck Catering - everybody was amazing. Very flexible, very responsive, and so kind... The food was amazing, but I'll save that for my Wolfgang Puck Catering review (that Chicken Pot Pie... DAMN!). Our guests were amazed with the venue, especially at night when the city lights came on. The venue speaks for itself. Look at pictures, schedule a visit... it is a no-brainer. And I assure you, the Terrace team is amazing. You are in GREAT hands.

Outdoors, there was seating for meals and open grassy and first space with tents for any outdoor programming. The event organizers rented some fancy outdoor temporary restrooms, so I'm unsure if Rolling Greens has restrooms at all or if they had restrooms, but it wasn't sufficient for our large gathering. I saw there was also parking available inside the gates that you can close, though for the event I attended, the parking spots were not utilized and we had to take the drawn parking spots outside, find street parking (which wasn't too bad), or do valet.
