LEVEL 8

This place has everything. Great food, great entertainment, and great cocktails.

We stayed at the AC Hotel by Marriott during our recent stay in LA for The Grammys. We visited a few of the restaurants/bars inside Level 8. We dined at Que' Barbaro which was great! Food, atmosphere was very nice. Afterwards, we had reservations at Mr. Wanderlust Piano Bar/Jazz Lounge. What a bust! We had a reservation and were welcomed in by a staff member. We were given entrance to the bar area and sat down. Then about 5-10 minutes later we told by another staff member we had to leave this area and go back outside and wait 45 minutes later before we could be seated. Mind you we had a reservation which they said was honored. Don't think so and didn't appreciate that at all! We decided to leave. We can spend our money somewhere else. We had reservations at Lalola Rooftop but the rain that weekend impacted this experience. The atmosphere was nice! The AC Bar & Lounge was enjoyable, with great views.

If you want to pay $25 for a drink, go here. All the bars here add mandatory 18-20% tip to your bill. Not cool at all.

This is an experience of Nightlife. If you are looking for an Intimate, Elegant, Swanky, Posh, Trendy, Sexy, Vibes, Views...it can ALL be found right here at Level 8. I was so blown away by the number of venues in one spot on one floor! It was like a maze of fun, music, drinks, food, and diverse people. Even on a Thursday night each door offered something different and I was not disappointed.

You guys seriously need a better DJ. I’m not sure how closely Level 8 works with Moxy, but they share a building and seems to be a well-known issue that the entire hotel can hear whatever is playing on the terrace, even 20 floors above. It should be a no-brainer to play a sexy rooftop house mix, instead of the garbage EDM Top-40 remixes circa 2012 that was booming through our windows. Would be a much better scene, and maybe help out Moxy’s dismal ratings too.

Wonderful ambiance decor and high-end offerings for food drinks and entertainment. A+ all around.
