Bar Clara

Very cute rooftop bar. It's actually rather quiet and tame up here on weekends. They have a restaurant in the first floor with live jazz that tends to have more people. My only qualm with this place was the drink prices and quality. We paid about $20 per cocktail and the margaritas just looked kind of skimpy. I added a photo so you can see the glass was half full when served. My martini was decent, however.

Just found out that the chef they had hear left. So disappointed. Come to LA once a year just to come here to eat the fattoush especially not on the menu no more He was such a good chef. Does anybody know where he went? Would love to find him to eat his food, especially his fattouche salad .

The vibes are immaculate. Food/drinks are a tad bit pricey (as they will be at every rooftop bar in LA). But the ability to chill next to the pool on a nice lawn chair and watch the sunset with a live DJ in the evening can't be replicated anywhere else in DTLA. Eddie downstairs (not sure if he works for the hotel or restaurant) really elevated the experience for us. He was extremely kind and was very informative about the hotel/rooftop bar.

Cute, cozy rooftop bar. Came here around 730ish. It wasn't too crowded and had plenty of seating room. It does get more crowded later into the evening. Nice spot to catch up with friends. Noise level was minimal, and I can happily hear conversations.

Really nice rooftop and views. The place is nice and modern with lots of color and plants. The drinks were delicious, but the food and service weren’t that great. Probably not a place I would frequent but cool spot if you are in the area.

Although the food is nice, I would have liked to see small pool side items available along with the rest of the impressive menu.

The menu feels more like a restaurant style rather than a rooftop pool bar and it's hard to catch the vibe.

I loved the salad ! It's so flavorful! The octopus is PERFECTLY cooked, as well as the steak. No complaints on the food quality and taste but It would be nice to have smaller handheld items to snack on while mingling by the pool.

Update Review 2:
So I ended up coming back with my parents and wow have thing changed…. The waiter was missing 3/4 of the time to the point we had to get up to get our own water, our meals were brought to us 10-30minutes apart and the melon salad thing for $20+ is a rip off. The sizes of thing got way smaller and I now wish we just went to the taco truck on the corner and didn’t spend $200 on a meal.
Food: 8/10
Value: 3/10
Service: 2/10
