The Terrace at the famous Sunset Tower Hotel debuted a new look in May of 2018, featuring a refreshed outdoor dining experience with updated furnishings and an elegant new bar. The Tower Bar Restaurant has split views of the city from either side of the lobby. It offers a swank lounge, bar and an al fresco dining experience. Custom made banquettes line the windows that showcase an unparalleled view of the Los Angeles skyline. Art deco design influences include walnut with gold inlay trim in a subtle, muted color scheme. The delectable menu features California Bistro with Italian fare. A dress code is enforced, please call for information.

We are now open daily for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is offered six nights a week, Monday-Saturday. We are unable to guarantee a seating preference of indoors or outdoors. We recommend a sweater or light coat during the evenings.

Shorts, baseball caps, sweats, sandals, tank tops, phone calls, computers and photos are not permitted.

    Love the tower bar! It’s always a vibe. They have the best burgers and fries and Melissa, who was our server last night, is amazing!

    I recently discovered Tower Bar and I’m there at least once a week for brunch. The food is phenomenal (best breakfast burrito in LA) and the service is top notch. Angel and Barbara go above and beyond to make myself and whoever I bring feel extra special. The home made cookies are divine. The patio is perfectly situated with a gorgeous view but lots of shaded seating so you don’t bake in the sun while you eat. Highly highly recommend.

    Angel is amazing. He treated me very kindly and was there for anything I needed throughout my meal. I was solo dining during lunch and no one bothered me or rushed me out. I was there for hours. If you get angel as your server, you are lucky.

    Incredibly overpriced. The Branzino was inedible. The outdoor seating was poor. They charged $600 for two meals and two drinks which you would expect to be an A+ dining experience but was extremely mediocre and not worth $100.

    Superior service experience and delicious food. It is spendy, but completely delivers if your expectations are a classy and classic West Hollywood experience with charm and a gorgeous view. Anthony's over/above service while waiting in the bar area was precious.

    Lovely and beautiful environment. Service was next level BAD. Ordered 4 steaks, 2 racks of lamb and a burger with a side of baked potato (loaded). Waitress never came to take wine order so we ate dinner with no wine. Burger came with nothing on it except for wilted arugula, no condiments in sight. Potato came with no butter or any of “the works.” Had to ask waitress for these things and she was surprised and borderline annoyed. Then came back 10-15 mins later with hard butter, sour cream and what seemed to be cold shredded cheese out of a bag (Sargento style). It was so bad I had to ask her if she was planning to charge us for the burger and potato and she said “oh you didn’t like it?” We then tried to get an after dinner drink and she never came over to take our order so we sat once again with empty glasses and plates of food covering the table. Truly atrocious and not sure how she has a job. Over $800 later….what a joke.
