The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing and your head is pounding from a night out on the town, now what?

Tough choice, right? Whether you are more of a low-key but high class type of pool partier (head to Luxe) or a drink all day party all night type (Drai’s Hollywood is for you) you will surely find the perfect pool party to take you from Winter right into Summer.

Hollywood Roosevelt
7000 Hollywood Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90028
For a tropical oasis right on Hollywood Boulevard you can’t go wrong lounging by the pool at the Roosevelt. This intimate pool party is usually reserved for starlets who head to the pool soon after waking up from a long night out, usually at the Roosevelt. But don’t let that stop you from strapping on those pool heels and ordering a very strong specialty cocktail. And by specialty cocktail we mean some of the best drinks in the entire city! Take a dip in the pool, a sip of your umbrella-adorned drink and thank the party gods that you are at one of the top pool parties in LA.
Standard Downtown LA
550 South Flower Street
Los Angeles, CA 90071
Summer pool parties at the Standard Downtown have become a staple of luxurious living in Los Angeles and thank god they are back for another year. Crisp white lounges and sleek red cabanas accent the downtown buildings perfectly, and after a few cocktails you will undoubtedly feel like you are in a metropolitan city. Pool parties at the Standard Downtown have been featured in Entourage and Sex and the City, and like the LA weather, keeps getting hotter every year.
Pagoda Bar at Yamashiro’s
1999 North Sycamore Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90068
BBQ pool parties at Yamashiro’s are back for another year and we couldn’t be happier. There is no better place to sun yourself poolside high above the city and the Pagoda bar provides the perfect private summer oasis for when you want to get out of LA without the hassle of a flight. This is LA’s version of the poolside BBQ and Yamashiro delivers with delicious hamburgers, pulled pork sliders and famous cocktails to wash it down with. Our favorite cocktail is the Bernheimer Strawberry Basil-Jito and the Norman’s Mai Tais, so head to Yamashiro’s pool party every Sunday for one of the top pool parties in LA.
