Broken shaker, Rooftop bar in Downtown Los Angeles, United States.
This elevated cocktail venue sits fourteen stories above street level atop the Freehand Los Angeles hotel, offering panoramic views of the downtown skyline alongside an outdoor pool deck and colorful tropical-inspired decor.
Originally established as a pop-up concept in Miami in 2012, this bar expanded to Los Angeles as part of a multi-city chain that has earned recognition including Tales of the Cocktail's Best American Hotel Bar award.
The establishment reflects Los Angeles's multicultural dining scene through its Pan-Latin and Caribbean-influenced menu, featuring dishes like shrimp ceviche and jerk chicken sandwiches alongside inventive cocktails that blend tropical flavors with urban sophistication.
The venue operates daily from noon until midnight with reservations available through OpenTable, while pool access remains restricted to hotel guests and the rooftop bar welcomes all visitors for drinks and dining.
Under new management by Authentic Hospitality, the bar now features signature cocktails like the Electric Warrior with Absolut elyx vodka and St. Germain, alongside non-alcoholic options such as the Verbena Spritz with tangerine and lemongrass.
