Nothing could be better than enjoying a cocktail at one of Beverly Hills’ iconic lounges. Whether it’s a hot new bar or a time-honored lounge, there’s a spot to suit your pace and mood.

ABH at the Thompson Beverly Hills
The ABH has a bit of an exclusive vibe going on. The rooftop bar at the Thompson Beverly Hills is, after all, open only to members and hotel guests. Those that can get in enjoy a picturesque pool area with a stunning panorama. Relax poolside in the California sun, grab some lighter fare during the day, or share some small plates while sipping on a signature cocktail as night falls.

Ten Pound at the Montage
If you like whisky, £10, also known as Ten Pound, is the place to be in Beverly Hills. Specializing in The Macallan Single Malt, £10 is the perfect venue for sipping scotch in Beverly Hills. Dark wood and rich leather create a feeling of intimacy as you get the ultimate Macallan experience (short of going to Scotland). Their carefully crafted cocktails and exclusive dining menu are as rewarding as the aged whisky.

Trader Vic’s at the Beverly Hills Hilton
Indoor, outdoor, lighter fare, dinner, history and more, Trader Vic’s, at the Beverly Hills Hilton has it all. Get poolside at this Polynesian-themed lounge and enjoy the original Mai Tai, which was invented by Vic himself back in the mid-1940s. Head to the pool and experience their legendary island escape. This tiki paradise is more than just kitsch and cocktails; it’s a Beverly Hills institution.
