I went to the Cinco de Mayo party hosted by Casamigos tequila. A very crowded event with a great view of the city, the pool, table cabanas, DJ, etc. The vibe is good and fun event. The little disadvantage is it takes long time to get in as the party was crowded, the line was long so it shared with cars coming into the lobby. Hope there’s more space here.
$30 cover, crowd was a bit older, music was good but the songs were kinda older. The venue itself is nice but the bathrooms were kinda gross and the speaker system is pretty dated (no bass and the music cut out for 5 minutes at one point). The bartender was great and made us a nice custom cocktail. Overall would not recommend but I think it has potential if management puts in a bit more work
Highly recommended!!! I’ve been here a lot dahhhlings. Plz don’t waste your time hunny, stop by. You’ll be glad you did. For a discount name drop Steven Antonioo referred you. I’m private, but I’ll also share a shot(s) for all of you selfie cocktails by the pool LA city views thrill seekers like myself. #Cheers 🌴☀️🙏💋🍸💅🏼
We stumbled upon this place because we wanted a fancy rooftop and it does not disappoint. Expect an exceptionally well designed rooftop with a lot of cool ambiance.The crowd was well dressed, don’t be wearing sloppy sandals or runners, or lululemon tights. It’s an elegant place but don’t wear an outfit like you would if you went to a swanky New York lounge like the Thompson. Wear nice pressed pants, dark or light pants, and a quality pressed top. Have some sort of style.I really enjoyed this place and the space is pretty spectacular. Night views are amazing.Drinks are pretty much $15-20. Average prices for LA so a bargain here as you get so much ambiance and views.A must for LA!
Horrible customer service. I bought a drink, and the server was extremely rude for no reason. Perhaps its because they automatically add a tip to your bill, so they dont care to be nice.
Shoutout to the hostess Marissa who made our experience here amazing! Great vibes all around and music was on point.
Only come here for Hollywood parties but losing interest. Fast. Entrance was 100 dollars for myself and 2 others. One would think this covers some drinks but no. Not only does it not cover the drinks but around 30 dollars per drink to which they automatically add gratuity. This might be acceptable for a party that is actually worth it but Ive been coming to these events for years and this was not one of the better ones. I didnt know anyone. So it wasnt much of a mixer and I usually know a lot of people at these. At least, no one relevant. I cant really justify spending $200+ just for the view. Plenty of other places. Oh and I almost forgot. The old fashioned was a pre made mix. Wasnt even handmade. I distinctly saw the bartender smirk like she just got away with a heist when she handed me the bill. Which she practically did. In spite of this, I added 10 bucks to the tip which she probably was telling herself I was being cheap thinking I didnt know they automatically add gratuity. But I knew. I just didnt want my guests to think I was cheap but what really is cheap if they are completely railroading guests and basically getting away with robbery? But hey, who am I to knock their hustle? I just figured a high class (supposedly) place wouldnt need to hustle that hard. P.S. Old fashioned was weak. Probably half the alcohol its supposed to have, if that. They can hustle but I can no longer be hustled so hard pass. P.S.S. What makes them think I will trust these schemers to valet my car? So, if you dont get valet, parking is slim to none so most times you have to park at the bottom of a hill. I wont be attending anymore events here so I hope London finds a new place. Im sure Im not the only one. In fact, I spoke with several of my friends in the industry. None of them interested in going there.
Always a great time.View is beautiful drinks and food even better ❤️
Dont go. Theyre talking about a 60 to a 100 dollar cover thats given to the bouncers not the hotel the bouncers. I talked to the hotel host and it seems like theyve lost control and let the bouncers do as they please.
Too expensive. Poor sound quality due to equipment. Would highly advise against this place.
Not a good experience. Despite having tickets two bouncers would not let people in and people waited in line for over 2 hours. Long story short if you know the bouncer you can get in, otherwise wait in the line for 2 hours.Zero star for this place.
Staying at the Mondrian for a mix of business and pleasure. Decided to go to the sky bar to get a bite to eat and a drink after a long flight. Ambiance is lovely and it was around 12:45p so not many people there, not busy at all. To my suprise, it took a hour to get a order parm fries. I got it thinking it would be quick. I keep asking about it and just finally cancelled. No one has all day ro wait on sub par service. Very tacky and bad service - disappointed!
Very nice atmosphere. Maybe the music style is different on other days, but when we were there we enjoyed the dance/pop hits being played by the fun bartender. Would come back for sure.
It was nice to be back after a long hiatus! I used to DJ here while residing in L.A., and really missed the atmosphere. Caught up with a few old friends and colleagues. Its definitely changed since my last visit. Always a fun environment to make memories at! ❤️
Went there for a event where the guest had to wear red , yellow , or green but they didn’t host the event that was posted on Eventbrite it was a big waste of time!
Absolute trash! Avoid at all costs!!!! Rude staff with no professionalism. Nasty environment.
Had to wait an hour to get into the bar at the hotel on Sunday at 1 pm, when we were told they opened at 11am. The bouncer said they were just waiting for somebody to turn on the music, then when when we were allowed in, the bouncer wanted $60/person just to go the bar, so dumb. There are a thousand better bars in LA then to have to go through that again.
Great place and atmosphere. Went for brunch with 7 other girls and everyone had a great time. The brunch food was delicious and the poached eggs were cooked perfectly. Some had the bottomless mimosas and the server was very attentive in making sure the glasses were always topped up! He also brought out something nice for the bride-to-be on the house.
Stay away. What an organized disrespectful mess. They wasted my time and ruined the night for 10 of my guests that were visiting LA for one night.They refused to honor 10 pre purchased tickets for the event telling us its over capacity even though we arrived early but were told to wait in general admission line.l which took an hour. Then they said it would be $60 extra per person to let us in with our tickets. Seriously ??? When asked to speak to manager they said the manager does not want to speak to you. How rude disrespectful and irresponsible can they get. Im talking this to hotel management and will not let them get away with such irresponsible disrespectful business practice.
Ive been twice and both times really enjoyed the venue and crowd. Great spot to be.But the most recent time I went on memorial day, I had a really odd experience.I had bought a ticket but once I arrived, was told there would be a strict dress code policy. They required shorts and I had jeans on. Now something like that MUST be disclosed on the ticket, if not the event description as well. As a paying customer, I need to be made aware of these things, not surprised at the door.Overall enjoy the venue and their events however.
NYE was ridiculously ZERO !!!!!No lights !! No sounds !! (no bass)If I was DJ I wouldn’t work here for these reasons first …..Huge restrooms lines …Run away never go or come back
This place is definitely a cool spot to go once because the view is absolutely incredible. However, its pretty pretentious in my opinion, they made me and two friends wait outside in the cold because we hadnt reserved a table and it was too full until a friend inside came and got us just to discover the place was absolutely empty 🙄. The drinks are pretty good but of course super expensive. Overall, a good place to go with a big group of friends for a special occasion.
I had my ID on my phone and they didnt let me in. However they let 2 guys and 4 girls with no ids. While I was standing in front of them.
Very sleek and popular bar. You will often find a familiar face by the pool. They have a great selection of drinks with an appropriate high price tag. It can be a little hard to get in on the weekends so come dressed appropriately. The view is really the best part and what makes it stand out. It is just hard to beat even on the strip.
I came to Skybar for a networking event so Im not necessarily reviewing it for the weekend nightlife. However, the venue itself is a really beautiful location on Sunset.The venue is located in the Mondrian Hotel. Come into the lobby; go right and youll see it on the right side. Theres a beautiful swimming pool with a backdrop of LA in the background in huge windows. Its a beautiful sight well worth seeing. Above behind the pool youll see a cabana area with the bar which looks nice. The drinks are normal priced (aka pricey) so expect to pay +$10 for any drink.The biggest mess is parking. Avoid valet unless you want to pay $20. I found a parking lot for half the price a little ways down Sunset and the walk wasnt too bad. Still, it can be a headache looking for parking so give yourself some time.All-in-all, a beautiful venue, normal priced drinks and a cool atmosphere make it an interesting visit.
First of all I will say the bar staff and experience is amazing ..but......The door man has no clue on how to run the front of a club. If you read this door guy!! Remember its not who or if you let someone in! Its always how you do it! I was voted door man of Detroit 10 years ago and I truthfully feel I was given that title because I always showed respect and great appreciation guests picked us!! I never would be so rude as to look someone in the eye and just smile at them while they are politely asking to get in . No response just smiles to all my questions!!I guess I wasnt worth wasting a single word on. Im currently staying at the hotel with a large party of business owner ,we have a gathering this week here . The funny thing is he didnt care I was a guest at the hotel. What makes that funny is when I got back to the pool bar and talked to the bartender he said I was at the skybar and that was just an outside entrance for guests not staying at the hotel. Thats fine but he knew I was a guest so why all the games ? Maybe it was his way of getting more money out of me? IDK
Had fun for bet weekend @ivl.iam
Went here for drinks on a Wednesday night and it was empty. There was one waitress wandering around but she didnt find us so we ordered at the bar. While the prices are high, they are on-par with what I would expect for a fancy hotel bar. My frozen cocktail was amazing.
This was definitely a great place to party. The DJ was awesome. It was a huge crowd on Saturday, so it was kinda hard to find a place to sit by the pool but it was still fun. Friday was a bit less crowded. Im not sure if its always like that or just that weekend. But it was Still a good time. The rooms were amazing. Clean, comfy and awesome view. The food was amazing in the downstairs restaurant. It was a little pricey but not for hollywood i guess. The employees were absolutely amazing. So helpful and accommodating. They helped us with our luggage to and from the room. They even stored it for us after check out so we could stay and play at the sky bar. The only thing I can complain about is there was no phone in our room and the tv didnt work. But we didnt even notice that until we were getting ready to leave. Lol TV is definitely not one of the top priorities while your staying here. Hope I was helpful. Have a lovely trip.
The last time we spent the evening at the Skybar in Los Angeles we were staying in the Hollywood Hills with an extraordinary view of the city below. The Skybar looks out over West Hollywood with a similar view just as gorgeous with the lights of the city twinkling brightly in the night sky overlooking Los Angeles. Its an amazing panorama you cant miss just one of the many reasons to spend the evening at the Skybar at the Mondrian Hotel on the Sunset Strip. We had a good time having a drink in this legendary bar. Celebrities may be rumored to hang out at the Skybar but we usually see struggling actors who hand us their cards hoping for a break in this town of broken hearts. Its not difficult to get in the door if you know someone or look like you belong. The Skybar is above a lighted swimming pool with a huge communal mattress for talking and sharing stories while meeting people. We had a few well made reasonably priced drinks at the bar high above the swimming pool overlooking the city of Los Angeles while we talked in the warm night air feeling alright. After meeting people chatting almost all night long, we relaxed in a friends room upstairs in the Mondrian. Although parking is a nightmare on Sunset Boulevard, the Mondrian provides valet service. Excellent service with a distinctive personality, the Skybar Is a Hollywood legend designed by French architect Philippe Stark with simplicity providing a memorable experience for anyone seeking an exciting nightlife downtown in the city of Los Angeles.
Let me first start by saying that this place is pushy, and I absolutely dont recommend it. I went here with a bunch of friends after being enticed by the pictures of the bar with cubana seating and pool right in the middle of the bar. While the ambience does live up the expectation I dont recommend the place for the staff and service. The hostess first told us that we need to take table service ( mandatory ) to get a seat. On asking her that why is this mandatory when we see a lot of other groups sitting there without bottle service , they said you can take the spot but if we get someone else who is willing to take bottle service you will need to get up. We concurred with this arrangement. She then told us that we need to move to a different section even with this arrangement, which was fine. We got one round of drinks and some nibbles. Soon after the hostess walked up to our table letting us know that the place is starting to get crowded ( which is absolutely not true , since we could see so many vacant tables ), we will have to take bottle service to continue sitting there. Let me also add that the table to our left and right both did not have bottle service, and were peacefully sitting there with no botheration from the staff. We were the only group that had to take bottle service to continue sitting there. She didnt bother asking us either if we were willing to take another round of drinks or for how long will we be there for. We then told the hostess that we will take the cheque, and leave instead and were not interested in the bottle service. I think this caught her off guard, since she was probably expecting that she would coax us into getting bottle service. However, she agreed and got us the cheque. We left to notice that at least 60 percent of the bar still had open seats with not even a single person queing up at the entrance either. Now I dont know if this was just a manipulative trick to force us into getting bottle service or just a bar policy that they did not know how to enforce and turn down guests who dont want bottle service but I definitely havent felt this unwelcomed at any other bar. I know that I am not going there again and would like to give this heads up to any other person planning to visit this place.
Totally extra & pretentious place. We’re visiting LA from London and wanted to check out this bar. We drove down there with our friends but we were refused entry because one of us was wearing shorts, moccasins and a shirt. The problem was the shorts.I wouldn’t recommend this bar for one main reason, I personally refuse to acknowledge face control. Especially from a poorly maintained 1990’s building with the main entrance next to a dodgy garage door. I do understand regulations but for someone who values appearance I would expect that they look after their own property before they proceed with the application of old fashioned and cheap regulations regarding third parties.
Staff cant be trusted. The waitress ordered 4 tequilas for us at the end of the night and failed to mention that they were $50 each. When i questioned the additional $200 for tequilas the manager came over and i entered into an hour debate over the bill. He was rude, condescending and threatened to do it the easy way, or the hard way. I would only come back here to take a piss in the toilet. Waste of time and money.
I was underserved by Bartender. she passed several people in front of me, and as much as I tried to say I was in front she just ignored us. I paid 30 bucks to get in, stayed at location 40 and left. I do not recommend
Simply a neglect and one of the worst experiences Ive ever had. Just being in a group of 12 people the porter decided to charge 800 dollars so we could enter without having any notice of entry fee and no amount of what was being charged! There is no advance notice of charge for entry, nor a pre-set amount, simply the doorman chooses the amount to be charged on time. Unfair and a total disregard for your customers!
If you can find a way in here at night, go. If you can find a way to go here during the day, go. It is part of an experience that, if you are looking for it, will help in ways that may not be evident when you first walk in. Skybar and Mondrian staff are exceptional and friendly. I met lifelong friends here.There are places to begin adventures into LA, Orange County, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties and if successful it will take you years to find very special places to visit. No matter how long you live in or visit Southern California there is always somewhere to make your own.
I went to skybar last night for the first time. The atmospehere was perfect, everyone was very spread out over this beautiful pool area and the dj was awesome! I loved that she played a mix of hip hop ,latin music and even a little ska. I gave this place 3 stars because the bar service was horrible...there were 2 guys working the bar and each time it took 30+ mins to get a drink...the place was not crowded enough to take that long ...and everyone waiting for drinks were not happy...they just seemed to be very scattered and unorganized and took a long time to make just a few drinks...i mean there couldnt have been more than 15 people at the bar...so i am not sure why it was taking so long for drinks but hopefully they can work on that! Other than that i really enjoyed myself last night and definitely will be going back!
Very relaxing vibe . Very accommodating staff even if you have a question they are more than willing to assist. Definitely will be revisiting this place throughout the summer . I didn’t catch her name (The Blonde bartender) is also amazing . People are respectfully.
This place needs to step their game up. I RSVPd for an event that was promoted so i could get in for free. When i get there, they dont recognize the event, the list, and even bash on the company co-hosting the event. The Lady was chill, just not accommodating. Paid the gross-overcharge of $20 to get into the way too overcrowded brofestivial. Got a whiskey ginger and they used Jack-Daniels... lordy, the cost $17. Went and hung out in the shade/upper bar for a little where the waitress was chill and brought me an old-fashion (mondrian style), which tasted more like sugar than liquor. Although the experience altogether wasnt the best, my biggest issue was that it wasnt even on a rooftop, just a pool area overlooking the city below (happens to be on a hill). The cool part about the place is that it is poppin, lots of people (mostly bros with their shirts off), but its a friendly atmosphere.
Cool bar inside the Mondrian hotel on Sunset Blvd. The view is great, the cocktails good, and theres generally a nice crowd. It gets crowded during the weekend, so make sure to either go early, have a table, a room at the hotel, or make friends with the bouncers.
Went for nye 2017 event. Lively crowd and great service. Slightly cold since its half inside half outside so ladies dress warm. Did not try any food but there are some amazing views.
Love this place.Romantic.Peaceful.Quiet.Discrete.Love the white linens, the candlelight - the cityscape and illuminated pool.Private cabanas are fun for dates or girls night out.Great venue for Hollywood events.Shi shi and posh - but fun.;-)
Pretty dope bar but I thought I’d have to take an elevator for a rooftop experience because, you know, it’s called Skybar. Nice view nevertheless
Cool bar but not in the sky?
I never bean there and I don’t want 😄so many piople one litle pool that’s thiscosting and boring 🤮
They only valet your car if you have a fancy one. Redicilas
The only reason I still go to Skybar is for the Monday night dive in movie screenings. The bar is way past its prime and really only attracts out of towers and no one who lives in Hollywood or west Hollywood wants to hang out with tourists all the time.
Skybar is a Los Angeles classic. Its a good scene and lovely view. Its popularity has waned a bit as of late, hence the four stars instead of five.
One of the best bars Ive been to. It has a great atmosphere and ambiance. Good crowds of people equally enjoying.
Rooftop: Okay, this one stretches the rooftop definition a little, but its top-of-the-mountain view of the city + great pool + model-y ambience is probably what people from the Midwest think of when they picture LA. Grab some of the house-made harissa hummus or some seafood flatbread, and think about all the poor unfortunate souls who aren’t you. (TheThrillist)
Dont bother going here. You can RSVP and think your getting in but show up after 9PM and your not getting in. It was our friends birthday and we RSVPed online yet we still didnt get in. Pretty sad... when you ruin somebodys night.
Sky bar is wonderful bar, the prices not cheap but its west hollywood you know...Great drink and nice view during day / night time
$10-$15 drinks. Great for tourists to see the LA scene. Great view from the bar overlooking the city,
No one to clean the bathrooms? Hire more people!
Well, just visited there at 22:30 on a Friday evening. I went and sat at the bar (there were 5 seats free) and was ignored by at least three members of staff. As it’s a free market, they made their choice not to take my custom and I’ve taken my custom elsewhere.
Skybar? More like blvd. Of broken dreams! I can buy a bottle of ZACAPA centenario instead of what they serve. Very trendy(look at me, look at me crowd),waitress Maggie sucks!
Super Posh place, cute girls. Definitely great for dates! The food there was a bit pricey but otherwise it was a good time.
Wow super pricey whoa need to relax on the numbers guys. We thought it was meh. I mean schwartz n sandy come here folks😝😝😝
This place offers romantic views of the city and reasonably- priced drinks. Cool one & done experience.
There is only one bathroom in the entire club, it’s ridiculous.
Quite cool place. Worth checking out!
My name is Kenneth Thomas and this is my review! Dude, I dunno about going here. Im afraid of heights!! Still, though, any bar thats up in the sky gets an A for effort. And for Air!
True Hollywood essence, great food and great drinks and music. Real relaxing atmosphere, truly a awesome date spot.
After 1.30 am waiters start to yell at everyone at the pool to leave the bar thats funny! Bar tenders have no idea how to make cocktails so sad!
DONT GO HERE WE WERE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST FOR NO REASON, AT FIRST THEY STATED THAT YOU HAD TO HAVE A ROOM THEN IT SWITCHED TO IT BEING UP TO THE FRONT DOOR SECURITY IN WHICH THEY STILL DENIED US I WILL BE TAKING LEGAL ACTION!!!
I live right behind the Skybar and theirs always beautiful and happy people there and the service is so Cool.Knowing all the places in this area the Skybar Rocks!
We called them multiple times and they said we could come up and they wouldn’t let us in. The guy working in the lobby was rude and I don’t recommend this place to anyone who is trying to have a good time
This place was way too pretentious for me. Maybe it was just the night, but bouncer seemed a little too concerned about how i had even found tickets to the event.
Now this name Skybar numerically adds to number of Moon. Good for 2 Number people. Can changed to different numbers, by change of alphabet.👍
$20 bucks to get in and there was hardly any people and no one was dancing......
Expensive drinks, beers were served in a can, venue was small and view was underwhelming
Unfriendly bouncer from the hotel/restaurant side and very strange young crowd. View is great.
Good luckYou need a lot if you want a nice table with a nice viewBut its worth waiting
Rude, Unprofessional and angry Manager (Elizabeth).Never recommend this place to anyone.
Heinous service.... lured into a lounge and bought food and drink only to be told once the “skybar” opened that we couldn’t enter because we had sandles on... ghetto...
Don’t go here if you are a minorities they will discriminate you because of the shoes you wear while allowing the whites wearing the same shoes in.
A very good place to drink cocktails ! Perfect view on WEHO
Love it pplz always friendly the pool lovely service is always too bz for the customer
Fancy place with stylish areas around pool to enjoy your drink.
Food was ok but i liked the drinks
I love this place especially during the summer! My go to place is skybar!
Like asia de cuba you are paying for the best view of the city of los angeles
Elegant, beautiful, nice people, a place to visit for a cocktail in Paris :)
Nice view. Expansive outdoor space, and the pool is nice.
Beautiful bar with an extravagant View and affordable prices
Too... Hollywood its all about what movie or song did you do b4 they let you in...😞
Everything perfect. I love The Champagne in The Sky.
Way too much la attitude. if you wanna be treated like youre nothing, go here.
Perfect seafood and Champagne in the Sky ❤️
My favorite pool in LA #frozeallday
Awesome views, good food, good service
This place is TERRIBLE.WORST PLACE ON THE SUNSET STRIP.WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER.
Great view, chill night for a Wednesday
Really nice. Very high class.
They solen my phone at the bar one of the workers
A stunning view. Pleasant place
Way overrated. Even the views arent that great.
You need to make good cocktails.
Eliza Dushku went here once!
Other than the rude servers this is a great place to be
Sky bar is open !!! Lets get a drink!
Very popular with the wichita crowd.
Great views excellent service
Amazing hotel, bar, and vibe
The pool.
❤️👍🏽
Terrible!
Great cocktails
Junk
Awesome place.
Good staff
Great place
Beautiful.
Just go....
We cant refer to Los Angeles without talking about Skybar, the lounge bar at the Mondrian Hotel. With a magnificent view of the city of angels, the Skybar offers a very relaxed and chic atmosphere. A covered patio like an island cabin overlooks the swimming pool and deckchairs.
Very beautiful view. Very stylish place. Service ok. Audience something special.
Fantastic hotel and very nice bar
Great cocktails and fries
Very nice atmosphere at the Skybar
