Diners and drinkers can enjoy a day at the Garland in North Hollywood, hovering by the water with buckets of drinks or checking out the open-air restaurant the Front Yard.

Vaunted cocktail destination the Spare Room has moved outside for the time being, offering an eye-popping amount of cocktails and poolside snacks for the summer and fall.

The Tao Group’s rooftop poolside jewel, the Highlight Room, is a mix of lazy days, big views, and casual food. Stop in with a cabana reservation for drinks, lively music, and more served all day long.

Coastal Italian fare and lots of spritzes are available just steps from the pool at the new-ish Silver Lake Pool & Inn. Stop by for heavy summertime in Italy vibes.

There may be no hotter poolside destination right now than Issima, the offshoot restaurant from the Olivetta team that marries upscale Hollywood Hills parties with quality food from chef Michael Fiorelli. The renovated La Peer Hotel pool is now an absolute scene.

The Line Hotel’s rooftop pool may not be as large or luxurious as others on this list, but the adjacent Openaire restaurant hideaway more than makes up for that. With its sprawling greenhouse vibes and food from chef Josiah Citrin, this is one of the best places to dine near a pool anywhere in Los Angeles.

From the coffin-shaped pool to the plush lounge chairs, easy restaurant patio access, and sky-high hotel mural adorning the outside of the building, is there anything this Downtown LA staple can’t do? Of course, the casual seafood-forward menu and mezcal pours are fantastic, too.

For oysters, cocktails, and good times, Downtowners know to get to the Upstairs lounge at the Ace Hotel. This is one of LA’s stalwart spots for a weekend waterside party.

The Fairmont Miramar’s ever-busy poolside restaurant Fig remains as much a Westside staple as ever. The hotel even operates cinema nights to encourage evening drinking and dining on-site, and the takeaway buckets of poolside fried chicken are a must as well.

With close proximity to the ocean, LAX, and all things South Bay, this low-key spot works well for travelers and locals looking to get away. From the breezy restaurant seating overlooking the water to the poolside seating as well, there’s no shortage of views (or awesome food and drink).
