BonaVista Lounge

The whole point of going here is to experience the rotating view. Yup, this is a rotating bar, offering a really great, 360 view of Downtown LA. The bar moves just slowly enough that you won't get motion sickness and just fast enough that you'll see all of DTLA in under 2 hours. As for the food and drink, they're perfectly fine. The catch is that this is a hotel bar, and so they charge hotel prices - so be prepared for a $17 martini. If it's any consolation, it's made with top shelf liquor. My only real complaint is that the service has been consistently slow. My servers are always friendly, but food is slow to come out and they don't check on you often enough. Still, if you have visitors from out of town and you want to dazzle them a bit - this is a site to consider.
