How we score

The editorial take

High Bar is a rooftop cocktail destination where the expansive outdoor setting pairs with a beverage program built on classic, retro, and craft cocktails. The Fresca Del Mezcal and a frozen Teremana Margarita are named on the venue page, while guests have called out the Paradiso and Rowan Rita. The bar also serves crisp wines, Champagne, and craft beers from Coachella Valley. Drinks are priced at $18–$24, and a soda costs $11.

What should I order?
Order the Fresca Del Mezcal for a craft cocktail, or the frozen Teremana Margarita if you want something cold and refreshing. Guests have recommended the Paradiso, particularly with a Tajin rim, and the Rowan Rita is a solid alternative. For wine, a bottle of Champagne is a guest-described essential.
Who will enjoy this place?
Guests who appreciate a mix of classic and craft cocktails in an outdoor rooftop setting will find plenty to like. Those who want a local craft beer or a crisp wine alongside their drinks are also well served.
When should I go?
A rooftop setting makes this a natural choice for daytime lounging or an evening out, though the packet does not specify hours or peak times. The expansive outdoor bar is the main draw, so weather permitting, an outdoor visit is the way to go.
What should I expect to spend?
Cocktails are priced at $18–$24, and a soda costs $11. Expect a premium bar tab, especially if you order multiple rounds.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The rooftop location with an expansive outdoor bar sets High Bar apart. The cocktail list spans classic, retro, and craft styles, with named drinks like the Fresca Del Mezcal and frozen Teremana Margarita. Local craft beers from Coachella Valley and a crisp wine selection round out the offerings.
