Bar Clara

Food: food was made quick, fresh and with quality ingredients Service: Attentive. Ambiance: beautiful decor, beautiful view, upscale vibe but Victor makes you feel like family We plan to recommend to everyone. It's nice to find a place in the middle of the city with a chill vibe.

You would think that a rooftop bar located in the area this place is in would have REAL professional bartenders. It does NOT. When you have to tell the bartenders what ingredients to use and what glassware is proper - you know you are in the company of the D list. Such as this graying hair geezer in photo working on Memorial Day weekend. What a loser. I ask for the RIGHT cocktail and he gives me attitude as if I'm exposing his shortcut goldbricking arse to MAKE the cocktail right. You see: this geezer and the other slopes here have been sloppily hacking their way to a paycheck for so long, they have forgotten what a real bespoke cocktail tastes like. Yes, you fool, absinthe is used to prepare a Sazerac. You don't even know how to make a Jack Rose. Fool. You should be a garbage man instead of a bartender. Greying old middle aged fool. It's sad.

I love this spot, been coming here regularly since summer 2024 and the atmosphere as well as the cocktails and Staff are always on top of the game, especially Victor. I always see him here and he truly makes the best cocktails. You can tell that he loves making good drinks for people. He created this drink for me and it's off menu but it has my name. Ask for it next time you come check this place out.

Went for lunch today. They are not very busy so you feel like you have the whole rooftop to yourself. It's casual seating (patio furniture) with an additional happy hour menu over the lunch hours. We had the hamburger, chicken wrap and tacos. All tasted very good. Service was really good but slower than most spots where you have quick work lunches. Give yourself 90 minutes instead. I'd go back for lunch especially when in the mood for a more special occasion.

Came up from SD with a girlfriend while our kids went to Universal Studios. We decided to find a pool. This spot was awesome!!!! Michael V was soooo fun and took great care of us all day. My friend and I are also in hospitality and Michael crushed. Attentive to everyone. And shout out to Natalie who took over when his shift was done. Highly recommend this pool and also found out it's Bonvoy Marriott!!!! Kale salad add chicken poolside was great.

Bar Clara is the rooftop/poolside restaurant atop the Hotel Per La, which is where I was staying and had a dining credit. Clara thankfully is not one of those noisy late-night revelry places that adorn many a rooftop hotel, even in DTLA. Clara closes at 10 pm. The setting is beautiful with a few indoor high tops by the bar and plentiful outdoor seating arrangements both outside the bar and around the entire pool. Views are decent, but there are better around.At 8 pm on a weeknight the place was fairly busy, but some folks were just enjoying the pool. I had a compressed watermelon salad with chili-marinated cucumbers, feta cheese and candied pepitas with added grilled shrimp, plus furikake-dusted tempura fries with Sriracha aioli. The salad and shrimp were tasty, but the fries were on the limp side. I don't know what makes them tempura-ish. I also got a mocktail that was the bartender's choice--good but too much muddled mint for my taste. The prices were on the high side for what you get. Kudos to Michael, the only server on duty who was literally running laps around the pool and patio area. A nice place for a relatively quiet poolside meal and/or drink.

4.3 stars. Had a delicious sangria (Sangria Sally). I think all the drinks are named after bar owner. The bar had an artistic vibe, and even though it wasn't the tallest rooftop bar I've been to, it was quiet enough on Mother's Day afternoon to have a conversation, relax and enjoy the sun.

okay stumbled upon this cute freaking place on my walk back home! Since it was 80 degrees I decided on just coming to check it out. GORGEOUS colorful and inviting. The place wasn't packed considering it was only 1PM but I'm pretty sure around 5 when the sun isn't blazing hot it can get busy. I decided on getting one cocktail and it was The Sun! Pretty strong in my opinion so def slip slow. Bright, and citrus forward is how I would describe it! Can't wait to tell my friends about this cutie little spot.

Good vibes with DJ I.AM.JAM, he does such a great job setting the perfect mood for a sunny SoCal day. At the beginning it was empty but then it filled up rather quickly. The bartenders are so welcoming and MIKE was super friendly. He knew how to keep the drinks flowing and also recommended food options. I had multiple 400 Conejos or Mezcal Margaritas which were a fabulous recommendation from MIKE. For food, I had the Tempura Fries and the Wings which were delicious and cooked to perfection. I also loved eating them poolside. I will definitely return for another Sunday Funday! It is such a good time. A must see when visiting Downtown LA.

10/10 experience service was amazing shoutout victor for the best drinks the ambiance is top tier
