BROKEN SHAKER ROOFTOP
DTLA has reinvented itself into an incredible restaurant & bar
entertainment utopia with cool residential lofts & luxury condos too!
There s so much to see and do! I have several favorite cool historical
venues & bars including Broken Shaker s sister (same owners) just down

incredible handcrafted cocktails too!
My favorite rooftop bar in DTLA
????Located on the roof of the 1924 Commercial Exchange Building.
????Has a Tiki theme bar.
????Has a breathtaking view of DTLA.
Put it all together and I m "All Shook Up" for Broken Shaker!! This is
my kind of rooftop!! Put on your walking shoes- we are going on a
super cool “Vintage LA” bar crawl with added fun points of
interest on our walking route.
BROKEN SHAKER
An oasis in the heart of Downtown LA, located on the rooftop pool
deck, offers an eclectic menu of handcrafted cocktails and small
bites. A James Beard Award finalist and twice the winner of Tales of

The Freehand Hotel
Historically unique, distinctively local hotel in DTLA housed in the
historic Commercial Exchange building. The hotel is truly
one-of-a-kind, featuring suites, premium hotel rooms and shared
accommodations with interiors designed by Roman & Williams.
The Commercial Exchange Building
The 13-story building, and excellent example of beax Arts
architecture, was completed in 1924. It was designed by the
architecture firm of Walker & Eisen considered the preeminent
architectural firm in Southern California during the 1920 s thru 40 s.
This has the distinction of having been vertically split to permit
widening of Olive Street. The building holds one of the tallest neon
signs in Los Angeles.
Note: Walker & Eisen designed two other prominent buildings in DTLA:
the stunning Art Deco Oviatt building- home of the world famous Cicada
Club. They also designed with other partners many cinema-theater
designs such as the United Artists Building where the Ace Hotel
resides (another Rooftop Bar we will visit in the future).
