Great spot to have a drink or coffee. We didn't try the food. The cocktail was well done. Definitely on the pricey side. View is spectacular and the ambience is elevated and modern. Staff was very friendly. I'll be back. read more

Definitely some of the most stunning views in LA. You come here for the views and expect to pay a hefty LA price for the drinks... but on a clear day... spectacular! Service is fast and friendly. On this last visit I just had a mocktail and my friend had a cocktail and was able to substitute the liquor which was great. My mocktail was the Peachwood Elixir but it tasted more like a kombucha than peach which wasn't bad but just expect that when you get it (I think it was because of the ginger). After 5 pm you can also order food which is coming from the restaurant on the 71st floor so there are a few more options than the Spire 73 bar on the rooftop. I was a bit disappointed that they've long taken off the pizzas that were amazing on the menu when I had them last year but I guess they probably take too long to make and the hotel is probably looking for more efficient service all around (I wouldn't mind those coming back though!). Parking at the Intercontinental is valet only and the restaurants it's $15 for 2.5 hours and additional for time after or you can try for local lots in the area or street parking as well. read more

What a happy accident that my boyfriend and I stumbled upon the Lobby Lounge. We were looking for Niku, and the sign for "restaurant" said 70th floor so we took the elevator to 70th floor. Turns out we were in the wrong spot, we discovered the lovely view and the Lobby Lounge so we decided to come back after dinner to enjoy drinks and a view of the LA night sky. We were lucky and seized a seat with a prime view. There were QR codes of the menu from some of the tables, so we went over to one and scanned it. Staff never came by to take our order so my boyfriend went to the bar to order and close out. 18% AUTOMATIC GRATUITY for no service at all. You are really paying for the view, make the most out of it. My boyfriend had their Garden & Ginger ($18) and I had a Lady in Purple ($23). My drink was great. Came with a beautiful flower. Matched with my purple nails. Once again, stunning view. If you treat it like an admission to seeing an attraction, it might soften the emotional toll of their prices and automatic gratuity. I had a good time since it was so cute how we accidentally stumbled upon it. Those magical spontaneous moments :) read more

We went to the bar to get chocolate martinis, but they didn't have any, so they suggested the espresso martini, and it was perfect to end our night. There were a lot of people that night, but the bartender was very nice. The view from there is incredible, so I 100% recommend going there to have a couple of drinks before going out or before/after dinner. read more

I visited LA one weekend a few months ago to trade in my car for a new model. As I'm a fan of InterContinental Hotels, I arranged to spend the night at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown. Well, imagine my absolute surprise when I learned the lobby of this hotel is on the 70th floor of an absolutely massive ultra-modern skyscraper smack-dab in the middle of DTLA! It's beyond anything I could easily imagine (and I can imagine A LOT!), so when I strolled out of the elevator lobby I immediately noticed a bar to my left in the distance. That was definitely where I was heading after I got myself settled into my room. The bar takes up the southwest corner of the building, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering one of the best views of Los Angeles I've ever seen. It practically felt like I was in the Sky Lounge at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, only this place is much brighter and more open. Not too many people were at the bar considering it was a Friday afternoon just around quitting time for the work week. The bartender seemed a bit overwhelmed (he spent a long time trying to explain to an uncomprehending customer about the charges incurred on his bill), but eventually got around to me. I ordered my usual Whiskey Sour, as I'll judge any bar in the world on how they're made. Bonus for egg whites! The bartender delivered marvelously on this and I think I had two more. :-) The sunset was the best I've ever seen anywhere on the West Coast! It's actually worth the price of the drinks just to be there for it. A very modern, chic venue which is just perfect for the LA high-end lifestyle! read more

Lobby Lounge is located on the 70th floor, you can't miss it as its alluring bar overlooks the most spectacular views of the city. We dropped by for some food and drinks... THE FOOD ELABORATION. - Crispy Brussels Sprouts | Pleasantly surprised at the portion size! These crispy little things are sweetly glazed with a savoriness that makes it hard to not want to eat everything. It comes with a small bowl of highly addictive garlic aioli sauce for dipping. This dish is a meal in of itself! - Sky Lounge Burger | The house blend burger patty had great texture and I loved the smoked Gouda cheese flavor. However, the burger was a little too salty for my liking. The same goes for the parmesan fries. If I ever ordered this again, I'd request not to add too much salt. THE DRINKS DRUNK. - Los Angelenos | Pretty strong whiskey cocktail, similar to an Old Fashioned. - Downtown Sunrise | Reminds me of a whiskey infused Mai Tai. I liked this cocktail a lot. THE VIBE EVOCATION. Modern vibes with a beautiful suspended glass shelf above the bar where liquor bottles are showcased. The bar can seat about 15 people, but where you want to be is at one of those coveted tables next to the windows! THE PARKING AFFAIR. Parking is valet only. If you're staying at the hotel, overnight parking is $51. You can find cheaper parking near the hotel. THE RESERVATION DETERMINATION. No reservations needed. Just show up and find a seat. THE RETURN QUANDARY. Yep, I would definitely return for the cocktail, Brussels sprouts, and that view! read more

Its the first Mediocre Mon of the year! After a biz event in DTLA, my socio and I decided to hit LL at the Intercontinental to grab a nightcap and watch the rest of the Celtics vs Lakers game. The experience was like the game: A great first part, followed by a collapse at the end of the game. The view and ambiance are very nice. The lobby of this hotel is near the top of the bldg, vs most hotels where it is on the ground floor. However, the wagyu burger was not worth the $30 price tag. It was more bun vs burger, and the bacon jam did nothing to enhance the burger (similar to Father's Office). Likewise, the fries were a bit cool bc the food took a long time to arrive. It had obvi been sitting too long. I can't remember our waiter's name, but he was inattentive. We wanted to order more drinks, and we wanted some water, but we couldn't find him. All in all, a mediocre experience vs the rooftop bar, Spire 73. We didn't go there bc we wanted to watch the game, and there is a cover later in the evening. read more

This has to be the most awe inspiring hotel lounge I've ever seen. Sitting on the 70th floor, this place has an amazing view both during the day and the night. The bar has a number of seating options and the drinks and food are pretty good. The burger was something special and exactly what I needed. If ever staying in or visiting the Intercontinental, you have to take a load of and check this place out. read more

The hubby and I Cruised by here for a quick drink before dinner. I'm custom to making Expresso Martinis for myself, and I am rarely pleased with all the premade cold brew martini drinks .. blah . Hands down, our bartender TIM made an EXCELLENT Expresso Martini...and believe me, I'm quick to send a drink back with no shame. Additionally, Tim made a perfect Lemon drop& my hubby toes curled after one sip of his dirty martini. We ordered the wings & artichoke dip which were average, but tasty. The lobby bar is beautifully located on the 70 floor with a romantic nighttime vibe. Great date night spot with the hubby or just a girls night out. Our bartender is definitely worth the trip through downtown traffic for another one of his Tasty Tim Martini's ! read more

The Lobby Lounge is on the 70th Floor of the Intercontinental in DTLA where you can also find the lobby. The drinks are pricier than other bars, but you are paying for the fantastic view of the city. It's so strange being so high up and looking down at all the places you walked or drove by and how tiny they are. There is plenty of seating, so enjoy a drink by the window. I usually go during the daytime, but I went this evening and it was beautiful. I would love to stay at the hotel for a staycation. read more

Lobby Lounge is an excellent ALTERNATIVE BAR located on the 70th floor of Intercontinental Los Angeles Downtown. We initially wanted to check out Spire 73 (73rd floor), but they have a minimum charge of $60 per person on a Saturday evening. However, I did not want our lovely evening to go to waste, so we decided to check out this upscale bar next to the hotel check-in. Fortunately, we found a table available by the window. The view at the top was amazing was so was the drink. I ordered RYE MANHATTAN (Templeton rye, Cinzano 1757, vermouth, angostura bitters). It was served in a martini glass and had a nice strong kick. The atmosphere was excellent, with plenty of tables evenly distant from one another. Come here around 10 pm, and you will witness the moon rise behind the US Bank Tower. It was a spectacular sight to see. Make sure to ask for a parking validation. You will save $5, which is not enough to cover the fee. read more

not sure about parking at the location, i walked there. the lounge is on the 70th flr of the Intercontinental Hotel and surprisingly reasonably priced considering it seems like a fancy place. The views from the bar are amazing. they have a good selection of beverages and appetizers.

Nice whisky selection, perfectly poured drinks, friendly service and amazing views. I really like this bar at the Intercontinental hotel in Downtown. We have had drinks here a few time and have enjoyed all our visits. You don't have to be a guest at the hotel to visit the lobby bar. If you have family in town, this really is a great place to bring them for the the views alone, the tasty drinks are an added bonus. read more

Lobby Lounge - The perfect Manhattan. - Lounges Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Was in town for a work event and the weather was rainy so we were looking for a walkable but nice meal near Koreatown. Decided to take a bet on whatever restaurant offerings the Intercontinental Hotel presented. It was unusual but enjoyable that the hotel's actual lobby was on the 70th floor. You step off the elevator and are welcomed by a magnificent view of LA. We sat at very small tables for 2 adjacent to the bar with window views. Service was pretty fast and friendly. We decided against full dinner and opted for tapas. We preferred truffled artichoke dip, the angus sliders and veg egg rolls. Everything came out as expected. My fav were the sliders. The table was almost too small for those 3 plates so definitely sit at the bar of York have something more substantial. While there are many places that offer a wonderful menu, if you want to socialize or have a drink this is a go to. The view is magnificent! read more

Rain and thunderstorms seems to be too close from up here....very scary. Time for me to leave:( Lobby Lounge is the lobby lounge bar to the InterContinental Hotel LA on the 73rd floor. Hotel guests and diners to the hotel restaurants all take the street level elevators to the 73rd floor to the hotel lobby and the Lobby Lounge Bar is to far left end of the walkway from check in area. There's a cocktail drink called 'Beverly Hills' and me being biased strongly recommend it. I will not describe it, just go and try it to be surprised:) This lounge is cool, stylish casual, and relaxed and being surrounded by glass to see LA from this vantage view is spectacular. Definitely returning and a read more

Great place to have a drink and a chat. I highly recommend Lobby Lounge for that. It's quiet, the seating is plentiful and you can't beat the view. Foodwise it's pretty meh. I'd say the quality is pretty good, but it's not very tasty. We had lobster rolls and the hamburger. Both over $30. Both not bad, but not very tasty at all. They do make killer drinks though. The Canadian old-fashioned is one of the best I've found in town. $18. They make it just right. I also had the Little Tokyo.$17. It's based on Suntori whiskey and lemon juice. It's good, but the old-fashioned is way better. Service is a little spotty, but you can always belly up to the bar if you want to get your drink more quickly. I say go here for a nice place to have a great drink and a chat, but don't be hungry when you go there because you'll be spending a lot of money for so-so food. read more

We were well taken care of at Lobby Lounge. The husb got an Old Fashioned, he said it was the one of the best he's ever had. I had a passion Sprite, the bartender made it taste sweet. We didn't get food since we were going to have dinner later. It's definitely a better alternative to Spire 73 since there's no cover charge. Also on a cold night, it's best to stay indoors. read more

I've been to this bar a handful of times and I really freaken love it. It's classy, it's elegant, it overlooks DTLA. I have to particularly shout out to Eugene and Luis. They both are so fun and they make the yummiest drinks! My two favorite drinks are whiskey sour with egg whites, up and this spicy tequila jalapeño something that Luis makes. YUM. It'll tickle you in ways you didn't know you could be tickled. They are both always so welcoming and fun to small talk with. I definitely recommend stopping by here if you're in DTLA and want somewhere chic and fun to grab a drink. There are also bar foods you can order. I've only tried a few but all delicious as well. I'll definitely be back here again! read more

Great views, of course. Customer service was a little lacking. My husband and I were sitting by other customers and we waited for nearly 15 minutes before anyone came to get our order. I didn't mind until I noticed the other patrons were served multiple times and one table was served IMMEDIATELY. Delayed service aside, I enjoyed my visit to Lobby Lounge. My cheesecake was delicious. Quite possibly the best cheesecake, fresh berries, and cream I've tasted. Tip: Be sure to input floor number on the keypad BEFORE you board the elevator...there aren't any buttons inside the elevator. We went on a Monday afternoon right before the began to set. It wasn't too busy. There's many sitting areas for sitting and meeting with colleagues or friends. read more

Always a fun and tasty time, this is a goto whenever I have people in town. Gluten-friendly options on the menu.

Great view. Perfect to watch sunset. Bartender gave us alcoholic drink instead of the Mocktail we ordered, but his colleague was quick to rectify the issue. Gratuity is included, but the receipt still asks for a tip which can be misleading. Parking validation should be more visible. read more

Terrific! The view can't be beat and neither can the drinks. My absolute favorite place to grab a drink when I'm downtown. But be sure to read the fine print at the bottom of the menu: "18% automatic gratuity will be added for parties with up to 5 guests [not more than five, up to five], and 20% gratuity will be added for 6 guests or more." So be sure to factor that in when paying the bill or you may inadvertently end up tipping 40% or more! read more

Located inside the intercontinental hotel, which I believe is the tallest building in Los Angeles, the views here are impeccable! The drinks are top notch as well. Some of the cocktails are tad pricey. However, combined with the atmosphere and view, it's worth it.

If you're showing guest around DTLA or in the area for a night out, the intercontinental lobby bar is a must ! read more

Saturday, March 18, 2023. When was the last time you devoured a meal in a spaceship? That is what I accomplished on my visit to the Lobby Bar. I ordered the lasagna and a glass of red wine. Luis, the bartender was my server. The lasagna embodied what it means to enjoy pasta, meat and cheese. The pasta was perfectly al dente with crispy edges. The cheese was creamy. The meat was rich, flavorful, tender, but firm to bite. If the food is like this in outer space, beam me up scotty. read more

Pro Tip: Visit the Lobby Lounge before attempting to go up to Spire 73. Beautiful views and plenty of plush seating. There's no wait and if the views don't satisfy you, then you can get in line for the 73rd floor. Great ginger beer called Fever Tree. Little Tokyo cocktail was ok. Tiramisu Trifle was amazing.

Lobby Lounge - View from Lobby Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The Lobby Lounge was amazing. The drinks are that of vegas prices, but I mean, you're 70 floors up, with a great view...pay the price. They have over a hundred vodka selection to choose from. I'm more of a whiskey guy but I didn't mind at all. The ketchup that they use (in a small bottle) is really good. If you ask nicely, they might give you an unopened one to take home..but don't ask if you're not ordering anything, that's weird. The view is definitely unbeatable...for a bar setting. I took a stroll around the large space and eventually went to the restroom. You get to pee on the glass, facing the horizon!!!! I felt like I was peeing on top of the world!!! I went on a Saturday evening and there were plenty of seats available. Lounge tables and seats are set all throughout the floor near the windows. Next time, if I feel like waiting in line... I'll check out spire 73. read more

So much easier than we expected...a week before My friend had experienced the elevator 1at fuckery but we had to issue or wait getting up to the 70th. Yes, there was a line of 10 people or so but we got waved through for some Reason. I think the line may have been for spire73 only. This hotel's lobby is on the 70th. Hotel guests use a different elevator to get to their rooms. I've heard the logistics suck...that said the bar was lovely, the view is amazing and the drinks were not trying too hard. The bartender AJ was pleasant. You never know at new trendy places. I wish the lighting was a little darker at night but you can't have everything. I had the Hollywood fizz and my friend had the little Tokoyo $17 each but if you wanna hang out in the best views, you have the pay rent. Bar seating was plus size friendly!!! Then we grabbed a cocktail table... Yes, boys..my friend reported that like many other Asian highrise hotels around the world, men get to pee into a cascading waterfall that overlooks a window...king of the world!!! read more

Strolled in on a Sunday afternoon to check out the new Wilshire Grand building. Lobby Lounge is on the 70th floor, also the same level as the hotel lobby (hence "lobby" lounge). Surrounded by windows from every direction, you can get amazing views of all of Los Angeles when the day and sky are clear. I agree with other reviews that if you don't want to wait to go up to Spire 73, it is much quicker and easier to head to the 70th floor. The service was a bit slow even though it wasn't busy at all, but this is probably due to a new spot still trying to figure things out. I had the Huntington Garden drink, good + strong. ($17) and shared the tiramisu triffle with a friend. Surprisingly, airy and not too sweet. The lounge couches and easy going vibe make this an ideal spot to catch up with friends or have a "me" day. Food and drinks are pretty pricy but probably what you would expect for being at a nice hotel. Also, the lounge is located next to the hotel room elevators. Since it was a Sunday, it wasn't too busy but I could see the lounge being more packed during check in and check out times. read more
