Beautiful (and expensive)
This spot is incredibly beautiful, with fantastic views in all directions. There is a very large bar here with an overhang, but also ample seating open to the air. We were here after dinner for drinks, and were able to get a couch/table area. It was very comfortable; the area was beautiful, the vibe uplifting. But, as to be expected, the drink prices are insanely expensive. Be ready for that; but, also be ready to enjoy the views!
Be the first to ReplyBeautiful view of downtown LA
I choose this place for the atmosphere, drinks, and view of LA skyline at night and believe me it did not disappoint! Views of DTLA were magnificent! The drinks were on the expensive side but definitely worth it.

Over-rated/Over-priced. The experience was good; however, the price for that experience was borderline abuse and creed. My wife and I are comfortably in the 6 digits and live in Beverly Hills, but we recognize when we are being taken advantage of. Folks, so many businesses are screwing us for outsized profit margins. They expect us to use our gas to patronize their businesses, FORCE us to spend $80 per person when we get there. Most daring, abusive and disrespectful is that they also want us to subsidize THEIR payroll in the form of a โgratuityโ so that they can pocket even more profits. This FORCED abuse comes in form of an automatic 18% โgratuityโ. People please wake up. Society has given us all sorts of reasons to normalize and expect tipping, but tipping only perpetuates a culture that robs the worker of a living wage. The tip should be extra and voluntary. Workers would make more under this scenario. Continuing to tip actually hurts the worker. If we continue to help the owner pay that living wage, will he ever be incentivized to raise his compensation to the worker? These TACTICS of giving us reasons why we should help the owner with his payroll is plain old simple dressed up GREED. And be careful, restaurants are beginning to condition us to pay for workerโs healthcare. Another area of owner responsibility that is being passed to the very people who keep the ownerโs lights on. The conditioning will slowly make the customer feel responsible for the healthcare of someone you didnโt hire. Look at your receipts carefully. The consumer should go on โstrikeโ and refuse to tip until these wages go up and make tipping truly voluntary. Yes, the pain would be felt temporarily, but look at all the people you would have helped after the owner is forced into some human decency. โNo pain, No gain. By the way, my going away gift was another $33 for parking. As consumers, we should demand more.

The views from Spire 73 were breathtaking. We stayed two nights in the Intercontinental DTLA IHG hotel on the 50th floor. Upon arrival into our room we made reservations at Spire 73. The night of our reservation we took the glass elevator from the 70th floor lobby to the 73rd floor. We were seated right away at our table. It was 60 degrees Fahrenheit that evening and the wind was blowing. We were quite chilled. Make sure to dress warm. I selected the ribeye steak and carrots. The steak was cooked perfectly and was tasty. The carrots were roasted and delicious.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing views of downtown but overpriced
The views are gorgeous but canโt say the same about the food or the service. The views are absolutely amazing. It was very cold and windy on our visit. The heat lamps and fire pits were on but it was still very chilly. There is a high minimum at $60 per person which I think is a bit too much for the service we were provided. You can reach this minimum very quickly with their drink prices. The drinks were alright nothing spectacular. The food was average nothing special about. Itโs definitely overpriced which isnโt justified for their minimum per person. The views are great but the drinks and food are mediocre.

We were supposed to go to Spire 73 for 2022 NYE, but Eventbrite, the organizer for the Intercontinental Hotel cancelled due to rain. No problem, we booked at Dekkadance in the same hotel. Unfortunately, Eventbrite refused to issue a refund for an event they canceled, and the Intercontinental F&B manager told me that we were out of luck. I should have looked on the BBB website. Eventbrite has an F grade. The Intercontinental (IHG Group) should be ashamed!
Be the first to ReplyA TURLY HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE...!
Had a horrible experience witnessing the restaurant manager assaulting another guest at the table next to us. Not only did the manager continue to escalate the problem, but also made our entire party feel uncomfortable that we left early. Not only did it ruined my mothers 60th birthday, but also our Christmas dinner. A TURLY HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE...!
Be the first to ReplyFabulous food, service, and view!
i had booked this IHG hotel months in advance and the day of my arrival was checking out the amenities on the website and discovered they had a restaurant on the 73rd floor. after reading about the place and checking out the reviews i thought it was the perfect place for a bite before a concert. i was able to get a reservation right when they opened and we had a great table and unobstructed view in front of the edge of the building. we watched a fabulous sunset and enjoyed the view and being up so high. our server was so nice and friendly and showed up exactly when we needed her to. my spouse and i shared a bottle of red and we both had the atlantic salmon for dinner. the salmon was some of the best i had ever had! portions were big and the fish came with carrots, braised onions, pea puree and a radish salad. it was completely satisfying. i would come back here in a heartbeat. the ambiance was just so nice, with fire light all over the deck and cool, relaxing music playing. apparently blankets are available upon request but i didn't need one and it wasn't too windy when we were there. if you want to do something fun one night this was just a great romantic dinner. they do advertise a minimum spend and a 2 hour time limit but we had no problem with either.
Be the first to ReplyHad a drink with friends to check out the view
This was a while ago, maybe a couple of years. It was quite a view! We happen to pick a pretty clear day. I was returning to Los Angeles this time for my business, so I thought I would check it out again. They had changed their hours, so I couldn't fit it into my plans. I wouldn't have anyway. They have a $20 cover charge after 5pm. Guess what? That's their new opening time! If you stay at the Intercontinental Hotel for +$600, you can go as much as you want. How nice. Oh, and you better go with the deluxe package, which also covers the $30 parking fee.
Be the first to Reply73 is my lucky number
I've been here, never actually had food or anything but I've been here and the view was disgusting because I was looking at LA.
Be the first to ReplyRude Hostess
Staying at Hotel Intercon, had drinks at Dekkadence, drinks at the No Dive Bar, drinks at Lobby Lounge, dinner at Le Boucherie (all in one day) and when I asked for a table at the rooftop bar, the hostess (Oct 14, 10pm) said she cannot take us without reservation. Even after showing the $400++ dinner receipt at Le Bou and mentioning Iโm staying in the hotel. Itโs very disappointing.
Be the first to ReplyDo not book bar seating!!
I booked a bar seating for a date night and when I arrived they didn't have any seat available for us! Apparently the bar is "first come first serve" and reservations mean nothing. We waited for 20 min but no seats got vacant, and we weren't allowed to have a table seating instead. We ended up having to leave because I wasn't going to stand when we had made reservations!! Note that NOWHERE on the website or reservation site do they mention that choosing bar seating would imply that there might not be seats for us. We booked well in advance and during booking we could choose either (bar or table - they had available seating for both), but went for bar seating because it seemed more appropriate for a cocktail date. Very disappointed! Do not recommend! The whole point of RESERVATION is that there would be seats waiting for us and not do the "first come first serve." Very unprofessional. PS the windows really need a cleaning up there too. The view was ruined by window grime...
Be the first to Replygood food, great view, lousy attitude
It's never a good sign when you check in for your reservation, and they tell you that there is a 2-hour limit for your table, and a $60 minimum per person. I could (almost) understand the minimum - this place has an AMAZING view, and the InterContinental is an upscale hotel. But I hate it when they act like you are a moocher right from the start. And it turned out even worse than that. Our wait person was amazingly slow to bring our drinks, so our first round of drinks actually arrived after our food, which was really frustrating, since I like to enjoy my wine with my food. And when we ordered our second drinks (to make up the $60 minimum), they were really slow with those too. So our second round of drinks didn't arrive until after we were totally done with our food (see "like my wine with my food", above). And when she delivered our drinks, our wait person asked us if we wanted anything else, and when we said "no", in spite of the fact that she had just delivered our second round of drinks, she said she'd bring our check. And this was only about 1 hour and 20 minutes into our supposed 2 hour time slot. A few minutes later, she shoved our check under our noses. And then she came and very obviously cleared everything off our table (I feared she might also try to clear our still mostly-full second drinks), and then asked us again if we wanted anything else. And then she came by again, at about the 1 hour and 40 minute mark, and made it pretty clear that she expected us to leave, although I, at least, still had a few sips of my second glass of wine left. So...if you are going to be rude enough to tell folks up-front that they only have 2 hours at their table, you need to deliver their drinks in a timely fashion. And, even more, if the "deal" is 2 hours, then you shouldn't start pushing them out at 1 hour 20 minutes, when you literally just delivered their second round of drinks. And if you are going to be that rude, you shouldn't include an 18% tip in the bill for a small party (of three people). All-in-all, the view was great, and the food was pretty good, but the attitude pretty much spoiled the whole thing. I won't be back.
Be the first to ReplyExceedingly Underwhelmed
Disappointed would be an understatement. First, the service was terrible. It was clear that our server knew that his tip was included no matter what. It took a long time for him to take our drink order, and then once we had our drinks he did not circle back to us for over 30mins even though he passed by our table several times. I took a walk to see if I could find him and he was at draped on the bar checking his phone.
The food and drink were okay, but nothing special. Basically you are paying for the view, which was totally obstructed by the filthy windows.
Must go
Love this place. Food is ok but drinks are good and the ambience of this place is outstanding. I am scared of height but view of downtown LA on 73rd floor of building and enjoying drink is so much fun. Hard to explain. Must do this !!!
Be the first to ReplyNeeds improvement
The view of Los Angeles from a 73rd floor building is amazing, but the menu is limited and drinks are way to expensive. A great place for a tea though
Be the first to ReplySkip it as you can get the views elsewhere w out the attitude
Eh no thanks. Beautiful location. Terrible front door staff who think itโs ok to take an advanced reservation and place them right by the door - far away from any view which is the only point of dining here. Itโs certainly not for the food or very highly priced cocktails. Iโll never be back. They now require a $60 PER PERSON minimum with only 90-120 mins allowed. Buh bye.
Do yourself a favor and go to a real place that actually cares about their diners like WP24 or Waldorf Astoria BH.
Great dining experience with a breathtaking view
The Spire is located on the 73th floor of the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown LA. The dining experience there is not cheap, but being on the 73th floor, the view and ambience are breathtaking. The food is great and the service is excellent. But what makes it worth is the view of LA from high up there.
Be the first to ReplyAnniversary Celebration
My wife & I stayed at the InterContinental in LA for our 15th Wedding Anniversary.
The night of our anniversary we went to Spire 73 for dinner. We scheduled our reservation to be able to sit and watch the sunset and enjoy the lights and fires at Spire 73. It was amazing.
While there my wife fell in love with one of their signature drinks - French Kiss. They even had a decent selection of beers. After enjoying their buffalo wings we ended up sharing the Filet & brussels sprouts. When the meal first came out, the Filet was under-cooked. Our waiter Scott (also bartender) took it back to correct it, leaving the brussels sprouts. When they brought out a whole new Filet, Scott also brought out a fresh plate of brussels sprouts too. Everything was delicious.
Scott ended up comping a couple round of drinks to make up for the under-cook Filet.
Since I'm an Ambassador member with the hotel, they only said we only needed to order one item off the menu. If not we would've had to order at least $60 per person which wouldn't be a big deal if you're eating dinner.
My only negative is I've seen pics from other reviews showing a "Happy Anniversary" dessert. It would've been nice to have received one.
1 star food and service/5 star location full view of LA
First time at this restaurant and will definitely not go back there for the food nor the service ! Very very low quality food and service ! Will not recommend anyone who likes good food and service that they pay for ! For the $ u pay for a dinner there are way more better places in LA. Cheesecake Factory has 100% better food and service then this high point restaurant!
Be the first to ReplySpire 73 - L.A. highest outdoor bar and restaurant
Things are opening up so my wife and I decided to give Spire 73 a shot. We had a very positive experience. We were seated alongside the south border wall so our view was exceptional. Our server was patient and professional and I am sure that added to everything. We made reservations online and had a seating so we could enjoy the sunset and of course how the city lights up at night. Since we live close-by instead of driving we opted for the Metro (35 cents or 70 cents roundtrip) and after a quick walk up to the street level and you are right across the street from the Intercontinental.
A couple of other pointers:
As we entered the property a staff person greeted us. Of course we told him where we were going and mentioned we had reservations.
He directed us inside and there was another staff to coordinate the elevator to the 71st Floor.
There we were greeted by another staff who verified our reservation and after taking our temperature he coordinated us getting in the elevator to 73rd Floor.
As we arrived more staff greeted and (a reservation helps because they are able to personalize their greeting) and they reviewed a couple of guidelines in particularly making sure they communicated your bill must be in excess of $60 per person. Next, we were directed to our table.
Our initial focus in going was simply to have a glass of wine and enjoy an appetizer. That changed due to being informed of the minimum so I opted for the Spire Burger - wagyu beef ($24) and my wife had the Sea Bass ($35) and of course we settle for a cocktail each ($18). What allowed us to make the minimum cut was ordering desert ($12) - LOL. We are not cheap nor big drinkers.
Overall the venue is great and the views are exceptional and it has a vibrant atmosphere. We will be returning. It's a great spot for something special or just to mingle with friends.
Huge Disappointment
We were a party of 6 for dinner to celebrate my birthday on a Saturday night. We were guests at the hotel so from the 58th floor took the elevator up to the lobby, then a spiral staircase up a floor to an elevator where we were greeted by the first hostess. The elevator with access to the restaurant was not in service. This was also the case pre-COVID so if you are unable to climb a spiral flight of stairs not sure what your options are. Once up the flight of stairs there was a short line to check into the elevator to go up to the restaurant, That is where we saw the sign of the $60 minimum per person. This should have been disclosed when the reservation was made, it was not. Not an issue for us as we spent way more than that but the party in front of us decided they did not want to spend the $60 pp and left. Once our party was screened we were allowed on the elevator that took us to the roof where we were greeted by another hostess who repeated everything the person one floor down told us. We were seated immediately, the whole process took about 20 minutes. Once seated, it took 30 minutes for our waiter to acknowledge us and take our drink order. For a place that puts a limit on how long you can sit at the table they really should be more on top of this. Drinks took another 20 minutes to arrive, we then placed our dinner order. Food came relatively quick, but the waiter did not bring our food so the gentleman trying to pass the food out had no idea what plate was whose. It was a game of guess the plate. I ordered the steak medium-well and while the flavor was there, my steak was room temperature, not even warm. My fries were warmer than my steak. After dinner we ordered dessert, we wanted a cup of coffee and were told they "ran out" of coffee. Not sure how that happens... They also ran out of Coke Zero.
One couple in our party valeted, be prepared to wait in a long line for your car. This seems to be a common problem. If you can ride-share, do so! Probably quicker and cheaper. For the amount of money we spent, not worth it in my opinion.
Good option during covid and can't wait until after!
Great view and ambiance - well worth a visit especially if you are entertaining friends from out of town. For easy readability here...
PROS:
*Truly stunning and expansive view.
*Excellent service and attention by staff on all levels from security to hosts to servers. All very attentive and accommodating.
*Normally this locations does not serve food however for covid they extended the menu options. Good choices for all tastes and food restrictions.
*Comfortable seating near heaters which were OK once turned on at dusk.
*Easy valet access in/out.
CONS:
*Required to spend $60 which is fairly easy to do with drinks alone.
*Seating time during covid is restricted so keep that in mind - you won't be able to linger past 90-120 minutes from your reservation..
*Parking is expensive at $22 and thats after validation. Ridiculous if you're dining there and already spending some decent coinage.
*It can get quite chilly up on the 73rd floor even if warm on street level so dress accordingly and thank me later.
Leave plenty of time prior to your reservation as +15 min just to get up to 73.
No what it used to be
I love this place!!! But unfortunately, itโs not what it used to be. I went yesterday with my husband to celebrate our anniversary and when we got there, our table was not clean! Weโre in COVID times, tables should be clean immediately after the guests leave. When I asked the server to please clean our table he took our order first and then said he was going to send someone. We ordered 2 desserts, a bottle of champagne and a glass of wine! They brought the desserts 15 min after, and still no one came to clean and sanitize the table until we got the desserts.
25 min went by and we still didnโt have our drinks! 1 glass of wine and a bottle of champagne, I guess itโs harder to pour out wine than to customize the desserts... ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Then I went to the bathroom and it was a huge mess!!! Paper towels everywhere, it was dirty and definitely not up to what you would expect for a place like this. I mean, you donโt pay little to come here. So the least I would expect is the place to be clean!
The windows are not clean at all so the views are blurry! This might just be something about them being on a budget because of COVID so itโs something Iโm not bothered by too much!
On the positive side, the food is still really good! Either way, this is just my honest review. I hope they can go back to what it was before! They used to have a quick service, everything was clean and it was a very classy place to come to.
I really hope they go back to what they were and it was just a bad day! Iโll update my review is this happens!
Definitely worth going
Came here for evening drinks for my birthday. Views are amazing to watch the sunset and to see views of LA. Drinks are a bit pricey, but what do you expect being 73 floors up.
