What to get
- A seat in the retrofitted 1956 Scenicruiser bus
- Reposado tequila and passion fruit liqueur cocktail (Infatuation's pick)
- Winter: book a clear igloo
When to go
Easiest to get in: Tue, Thu, Sat 11 am–1 pm. Liveliest: Thu around 5 pm. From Google's popular times.
Sunset; in winter the roof turns into clear igloos that The Infatuation says to book well in advance.
Insider tip
The Bobby Hotel is now The Nash (Opal Collection); the famous bus, an Airstream bar and backyard games are still up top. Downstairs, the Writer's Lounge is the hotel's grittier bar for a nightcap.
