Nixo Patio Lounge

Located inside E-Central, Nixo is the hotel's bar/lounge/dining area. However, it doesn't open until 4 p.m., which is odd. Coffee & breakfast items are available in the morning. My friend was staying at the hotel, so we stopped in at 4:30 for a drink. The place was fairly empty. I'm guessing it gets lively later in the evening. The patio area is spacious and offers a splendid view of the city, which is even more spectacular at night. I asked the bartender if they had a cocktail menu, and he said they did not because they were a "traditional bar." Ok. An answer like that tells me you are not skilled at your craft. (FYI: There are pictures of the cocktail menu on their Yelp page.) He also had a bit of an attitude. I asked for a vodka soda just to be safe. Nixo is convenient for hotel guests if you don't mind waiting until 4 p.m. for food & drinks. However, there are so many other options nearby, I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here.

Nice patio but terrible service.We were literally the only people there, it was during operating hours, and couldn't get service.The bartender couldn't be fussed to take our order.However, I can see this place doing well with proper staffing.Oh, and by the way, the menu they had posted on their website at the time (3/15) didn't match anything that they were serving.Bartender said the whole menu changed but the website hadn't been updated yet.

Hot Hot spot!! It's an adorable setting on the rooftop of E CENTRAL hotel and its dreamy LA view is popular. So this rooftop lounge gives you a half 360 of the Sunup & Sundown vibe. They have umbrellas for the hot days & heating lamps for the colder eves. The food is amazing & the hostesses are darling. We had a wonderful time and seating is sorta a chic la chic eclectic atmosphere... Fun people & Music Parties of 2 to 20 are welcomed. They'll cater to your every need!!Loved it

I came to this restaurant/lounge while traveling for work and staying in the adjoining hotel. It's got great views and a really cool patio ambiance, loved that. They didn't have a great wine selection but I heard the cocktails are pretty good - I had a Pinot Grigio because there was no Sauvignon Blanc and my only other white option was a Chardonnay. I also ordered the sausage fennel flatbread. The pizza was okay - it wasn't amazing but it was good. The service was fast and good, my only criticism there was that it wasn't overly clear that it was a "seat yourself but order at the bar" kinda place. Ultimately, I would recommend as a nice, quiet place to have drinks before heading out downtown. Great views!

Great place to chill with tvs and fireplace.. banh mi nachos were okay i like the meats added in but overall entree was average.. the pork belly kimchi was good I recommend its tasty with the rice mushrooms kimchi and pork belly.

Cool little hotel bar located on the second floor of E central hotel, with a nice outdoor patio to people watch.

This place is really lame. What hotel bar only has house wines?? Red or white, that's it. Really? No serious bar only serves house wines. I asked for a drink menu and the bartender said they don't have one. They only have a bar food menu. I asked if it was a full restaurant and he yes and looked at me like I offended him. But they don't have any entrees and very limited options. The menu is on a small card. This place has so much potential, but the staff Is terrible and it has a very limited selection for food and wine. Go somewhere else!

Lounge is nice overall. We were staying at the hotel. The menu on yelp is wrong . They have a limited menu now. The workers at the bar are not very friendly at all. Our waiter was nice I wish I would have gotten his name. I would stay at the hotel again but I wouldn't eat in this place .

This patio has a super fun atmosphere! They had a DJ playing music, the space heaters going, and open seating. The view overlooks LA live and the bustle going on on the street below. I will say, the drink service was a little slow and the drinks were on the pricier end for what they were. But if you're staying at the E-Central hotel, it's worth stopping by!

Classy and chill place to grab a tasty bite to eat while being right on Figueroa Street, across from LA Live and the Grammy Museum. I really like the balcony view of the LA Live area - it's a way to be near to all the action but also out of the busyness. There's heating lamps so being outdoors is not a problem. Better yet, this place isn't so crowded as many of the ground floor restaurants on Figueroa/around LA Live because it's tucked out of the way. The food was a yummy surprise. Perhaps the menu changed from what others have posted on here, but it's similar. Overall like a fun fusion with a lot of great seasonings and sauces, and quantities that were just enough. I came last weekend (2/17/24) and we had:-Banh Mi Nachos: 5/5. Not greasy and I loved the twist of having wonton chips instead of tortilla chips. Tasty and everyone enjoyed it. Plenty of chunks of meat also.-Mushroom/veggie flatbread pizza (forgot the name) - 5/5 I really liked this one. In contrast to a lot of flatbread pizzas that are dry, with not enough toppings scattered on top, this one was well covered, with enough sauce, which I like. It was a creamy avocado sauce or something (instead of tomato), which I enjoyed. -Adobo Chicken flatbread Pizza - 4.5/5 you'll like this if you like BBQ chicken. -Sirloin panini with fries - 5/5 didn't try the sandwich but my brother said it was solid. The seasoned fries were fantastic - crispy and flavorful.Order at the bar or with one of the waitstaff! Would be back if was in LA Live. Great if you like to get away from all the crowds and want a cool view!
