After a heated debate over AIM about bar options for Thursday evening, Evelina and I agreed on the Rooftop Bar at The Standard in downtown Los Angeles. This is us on one of the water bed pods.
Things to know before you go:
- There will be a line. Expect to wait. We cut straight to the front, because some Saudi guys wanted us to stand with them (presumably because it would boost their chances of getting in?) I would not normally suggest doing this unless you’re okay with getting beat up by the 90 people behind you.
- On weekends (Fridays and Saturdays), there’s a $20 cover. Thursday night was packed and free, so that might be a good alternative for broke kids like me who don’t believe in cover.
- Cocktails will be $10+. Did I mention I also don’t believe in buying my own booze at bars? I will buy it for other people and will accept booze if I feel like drinking, but I never feel like paying a 800% markup to consume crap I don’t even like.
- The crowd (from what I could tell) was mostly people in their late-twenties and early-thirties. We were definitely some of the younger patrons there.
