beautiful staff and delicious drinks and food

One of my favourite bars I've ever been to. The difference rooms are so cool. I like that you're able to dance but also there's tons of seating to the side of you just want to converse with your friends

This was at one time my favorite downtown spot. In mid April a large group went to the tiki bar to celebrate a birthday. Unfortunately they cut down the drink menu to 5 drinks and the servers were not organized. Closing our tab was a big issue. Will try again once this place settles into its new management.

Probably the best bar in downtown LA. Dress code is relaxed to business casual and the vibe is great. There’s a massive tree in the middle and it’s also a restaurant/cafeteria. Next time I’ll try the food.It’s three floors with different types of rooms/styles. The lines outside can get long but it flows in pretty quick. New changes since I last stopped by in 2019. The new changes are great, I’d definitely come back again.

If you’re looking for a very unique experience, this is a must. The staff here is very dedicated and beyond friendly. Easily one of the most memorable spots you’ll never forget!

Epic venue, amazing aesthetic, but the DJ was awful. Not reading the crowd at all, people would stop dancing when he'd play some songs, not even beat matching, just dropping random genres and types of music every other song. Ended up leaving because of the music.

If you've never been you've gotta go at least once, the building alone is absolutely remarkable, and I must say the food does not disappoint either, one of the best burgers I've ever had. The place is huge, definitely worth exploring, there are multiple bars, which, fair warning, it may take you quite a while to close out your tab later in the night because of the lines, and you must do at the bar you payed at. I reccomend a closed tab. Now the reasons for four instead of 5 stars: 25 dollar cover charge just to get in the building, which they even expect you to tip on (which I find ridiculous) and even after that they have a two drink minimum to sit at the tables (which luckily they didn't seem to be enforcing, at least we didn't have a problem) not to mention 16 bucks for a cocktail, 8 for a for. So if you have plenty of money to throw around, then by all means enjoy, but otherwise this might be just a one time or rare occasion type of place.

Clifton's is a great place with an amazing environment and staff. Fries are delicious af. The ambiance with the five floors which all have their own theme is a great experience. To the bartender who thought I ordered four orders of fries when I actually ordered two I'm sorry for ruining your night. Overall great place for The vibes

I use to love coming to get $2 cup of coffee in the morning and a $2 cookie and watching the streets below. The new vibe is a far cry from those old memories. I hate paying to go into a place to pay for more stuff. $20 at the door seems a bit excessive when your drinks are almost $18 each, even if the drinks are on the stiffer side. Which speaking of, there were multiple scuffles and altercations with overly drunk people. The downstairs restrooms have zero light and on more than one occasion did a man try and follow me into the ladies room, it felt so creepy. So I tried the far more lit and crowded upstairs restroom Wich was just filled with girls vomiting all over the place, literally I watched a girl puke on to another girl while in line. Each stall had vomit somewhere. It was a mess and at that point I just wanted to go home. I wouldn't say they have food more like elevated bar bites, duck fat fries and poke tacos were tasty but I'm really not into paying $14 for 2 tacos. I know I keep bringing up the prices but for the amount of money I dropped there, it was a most unpleasant experience and as much as I loved that place I doubt that I'll be returning.
