La Perla

I came to El Paso with some friends on a girls weekend. We had spent the night before in Las Cruces and only did one night in El Paso but we stayed at the Plaza. When looking up hotels, this rooftop bar was an absolute seller. It's beautifully structured and has some really fun of views at night.The drinks are a little bit on the pricier side, but they were all really good. I enjoyed everything I tried including the off menu espresso martini was amazing. The service was stellar, they were really on top of everything and they even brought us all blankets because it was chilly outside.They have live music that was very good.Overall, I really enjoyed this rooftop bar and if I lived in the area, I would totally come just for drinks every once in a while, but it was also just very convenient having it at the hotel that we were staying at.

Came here last night to enjoy some pre-dinner cocktails with my girlfriends and had an amazing time! The current Yelp ratings are NOT reflective of the quality of anything at La Perla anymore. The views from the rooftop are spectacular and it is such a cute, fancy place. The service was great and very attentive. Even though they got busier towards the end of our visit, we were still very well attended to. They also have snacks which we didn't indulge in but looked really yummy. They also had live music towards later hours of the evening, and it wasn't loud and interruptive of our conversation at all. Overall a really sweet place to enjoy great views and have yummy drinks with good service. Will definitely be back!

The scenic views are great! If you can get here before sunset, I recommend it. The sunset view is gorgeous from the rooftop! The cocktails were ok. We tried a few different ones. Unfortunately, we weren't able to order food because they didn't have a chef available. We were told the minimum for a group of 8 was $300.The bathrooms are on a different floor. So you need to take the elevator or stairs. It's a little inconvenient, but it's not a huge deal.It's worth the price to see the views. I give it a solid 3 & 1/2 stars.

The scenery and ambience alone is worth the visit. We will definitely make this a regular when we visit El Paso. Definitely recommended for tourists. We did not get food, but the drinks were great.

After dinner at ÁmBar, we went to La Perla and enjoyed cocktails on the rooftop lounge (17th floor). It was a nice night and there were a number of comfortable seating areas. There wasn't table service. We ordered drinks at the bar inside and they were brought out to us. The views of the city and the sun setting over the mountains were beautiful! The cocktails were good. There was music playing, but it t wasn't music we enjoyed. I asked if there was a cocktail menu and was told they didn't, but they were working on one. I love a good cocktail menu and was a bit disappointed there wasn't one when there was such a good one downstairs at the restaurant.

La Perla features superb drinks by professional, no nonsense bartenders (while they aren't working with the almost preposterous array of liquors you'll find downstairs at Ambar, they will deliver a fantastic experience with what they have). Very limited food menu but the carnitas taco I had at La Perla was the biggest, meatiest and most delicious smoky carnitas taco I've had in my life (and also the most expensive - but it was totally worth it - um, I hesitate to make a comparison to another place, but it absolutely BLEW AWAY the carnitas taco I had at a nearby specialized shi-shi taco place (you know which one I mean) the following night). Yum - my mouth's watering just remembering it.La Perla is popular: you'll want to make reservations. I had real difficulty making reservations by phone: long waits and a disconnection, then when I checked in person on my reservation the day before, I found it hadn't been made at all. Open Table can make you a reservation (that's what I'd do next time) but I wound up just making a reservation in person for the following night. And our reservation was for a specific area - and that area was NOT reserved for us when we showed up - someone else was there already.Okay, everyone was mellow and everything worked out and we got seated temporarily and eventually got re-seated and settled where we had wanted to be. But our reservation experience was NOT what I'd hoped. As to the space, La Perla is worth your time: smaller and interesting with a few separate areas - a large outside area and also a smaller outside area with firepits and then some inside space. All manner of pillows and blankets for the outside spaces, too (ask, they're stored when not in use). The views are not as good as the views across the street at the more expansive rooftop outside El Mirador bar atop Hotel Paso del Norte - but the _vibe_ at La Perla isn't the corporate business-slash-wedding-in-a-pretty-space feeling at Mirador. It's also not the nice-party-at-the-pool vibe of Level 9 up the street at Hotel Indigo. La Perla is more personal and more exclusive feeling than either of these - it's not necessarily better than the others, just calmer, maybe a little more mature: "You've arrived. You don't need all that nonsense. Have a drink and enjoy the company." (And, if your experience is like ours, you'll find that the other patrons at La Perla are pleasant company.)We'll be back.

What a fabulous El Paso evening! The view is as stunning as they proclaim and the decor and gardens make you feel like Elizabeth Taylor herself. We didn't realize it was just snacks, since they don't have an actual menu on their website. And you really can't fill up and call it dinner, but we sure enjoyed the food we did have! The marinated crab claws were so good that we didn't mind being the people spooning out the sauce well after the crab was gone. The shrimp (head on) were delicious. We also ordered the caviar sandwich. It was meh and wayyyyvover priced, not worth it at all. There was no delicious, creamy, brine-y caviar. It was a bit flat and very pricey. But over all, the food was inventive, fresh, delicious and not something you can just get anywhere. The drinks were fun and a much needed refreshment on a hot day. The service, from greeter to server, was spot on, even as a newish restaurant (who opened in the worst time--pandemic). As time goes on, they will be as flawless as their view.

Great views, plenty of seating in the terrace. Inside is small. Its premium drinks and pricey too. $58 for 3 drinks including tip. I got a dissarono sour, I dont think its supposed to have foam. There was no bar or food menu. At least there was music. Customer service was okay.

Iconic El Paso Landmark. Remarkable views. Intended to be a high end bar with minimum purchase and gratuity requirements. Unfortunately, the staff does not do this place justice. From the hostess to bartender, I'm embarrassed for El Paso that so many out of town folks visit this place. Poor representation of what a top shelf establishment should be. Choose any other high end establishment in this town and you won't be disappointed. La Perla is worth avoiding.

The drinks were poorly made, the deck is underwhelming and overcrowded with furniture. You couldn't move around without bumping into anyone. The service was poor and the staff was rude. Menu left much to be desired and no food was able to order despite being located above a nice restaurant that is also part of the hotel. Insisted on a 20% tip minimum.
