As the sun begins to set over Beverly Hills, the city’s happy hour scene comes to life. From glamorous rooftop bars to stylish lounges tucked along Rodeo Drive, there’s no shortage of places to sip handcrafted cocktails and savor delicious small plates. Whether you're meeting friends after work or starting a night out, the happy hour in Beverly Hills offers the perfect blend of luxury and laid-back fun. Here are some of the best spots we find ourselves coming back to.
Key Takeaways
- Beverly Hills offers happy hour options across every style, from rooftop views to casual neighborhood bars.
- The best deals in 90210 happen between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m., with deeply discounted cocktails, wines, and small plates at some of the city's top-rated venues.
- Several happy hours offer outdoor seating with garden or city views, which is ideal for enjoying the Southern California weather.
- This guide covers five standout venues, including what to order and what makes each spot worth the stop.
1. The Rooftop at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills
Sitting 12 stories above the city, The Rooftop at the Waldorf Astoria is the kind of place that reminds you why people move to Beverly Hills in the first place. The Forbes Five Star and AAA Five Diamond-rated venue offers sweeping panoramic views of the city alongside a lush garden terrace setting that somehow manages to feel both luxurious and relaxed.
Led by Chef Peleg Miron, the menu pairs the views with cocktails and bites that are every bit as elevated as the setting. The Espresso Martini and Ginger Bramble are especially worth ordering.
What We Love About This Spot
- One of the largest rooftop venues in the Beverly Hills area, with both indoor and outdoor seating
- Signature bites include the Lobster Burger, Crispy Tuna Rice, and Caviar Fries
- Named to OpenTable and KAYAK's Top 100 Hotel Restaurants in America
- Location: 9850 Wilshire Blvd — walking distance from prime Wilshire corridor real estate
2. Dante Beverly Hills at The Maybourne
Dante Beverly Hills, located inside The Maybourne on North Canon Drive, brings world-class cocktail culture to one of 90210's most storied addresses. The original Dante New York earned the number one spot on the World's Best Bars list, and its Beverly Hills outpost carries that pedigree into the California sunshine beautifully.
Martini Hour runs daily from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. and spotlights seven rotating martinis. Order the Dirty, the Bella Martini, or the classic Dante Martini alongside their wood-fired pizzas and fresh oysters for the full experience.
Highlights of Dante Happy Hour
- Seven signature martinis spotlighted daily from 3–5 p.m., including the Upside Down Dirty Gibson and 20th Century
- Stunning Beverly Canon Gardens setting; outdoor tables amid sculptures and swaying palms
- Pairs perfectly with resort pool access and the hotel's full sunset rooftop experience
- Location: 225 N. Canon Drive, steps from the heart of the Golden Triangle shopping district
3. The Terrace at The Maybourne — Golden Hour
Also at The Maybourne, The Terrace offers a different but equally incredible experience. Named Golden Hour, this happy hour takes the already-beautiful Beverly Canon Gardens setting and adds 50% off all food and drink, making it one of the most generous deals of its kind in Beverly Hills.
The outdoor space features three distinct environments: a front-row garden view, soaring colonnades, and cozy indoor booths surrounded by world-class modern art. This is the kind of place that rewards slowing down.
Why Golden Hour Stands Out
- 50% off all food and drink, among the best value happy hour deals in 90210
- Chef Damon Gordon's refreshing seasonal menu with signature cocktails and fine wine vintages
- Three seating zones accommodate everything from date nights to low-key work conversations
- Rose blooms, a soothing fountain, and swaying fronds frame every seat — it's genuinely beautiful
4. Beverly Bar on Camden Drive
Beverly Bar at 434 North Camden Drive offers a relaxed, smart-casual vibe that fits the neighborhood without trying too hard. Happy hour runs Tuesday through Saturday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., making it one of the longer-running deals in Beverly Hills, and the kitchen delivers on every visit.
The menu covers steaks, fresh seafood, and signature appetizers, while the cocktail program leans into seasonal, mixologist-crafted drinks. Martini Mondays are a neighborhood ritual all day, every Monday.
What Makes Beverly Bar Worth the Stop
- One of the longest happy hour windows in Beverly Hills (2–6 p.m., Tues through Sat)
- Refined but unpretentious atmosphere; smart casual dress code, no attitude
- Signature seasonal cocktails by in-house mixologists pair well with the steak and seafood menu
- Private event space available for intimate gatherings, ideal for client events or celebrations
5. Lawry's The Prime Rib Bar
Lawry's The Prime Rib has been a Beverly Hills landmark since 1938, and its weekday happy hour reflects that legacy: classic, well-executed, and deeply satisfying. The bar runs its happy hour Monday through Friday from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., with $5 off bar bites and $10 wines and cocktails.
There's a reason this place has endured for more than eight decades. The Rodney Strong Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon and the La Cienega Mule are ideal wind-down drinks, and the tableside carving tradition makes even a bar visit feel like an event.
Lawry's Happy Hour Essentials
- Mon–Fri, 4:30–6:30 p.m. — $5 off bar bites, $10 cocktails and select wines
- Signature cocktails include the La Cienega Mule, Aperol Spritz, and Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay
- An 85-year institution on La Cienega Blvd; the kind of Beverly Hills landmark that transcends trends
- The warm, classic interior makes it ideal for business conversations or celebrating a real estate milestone
