Dante Beverly Hills, an extension of an award-winning New York City cocktail bar, has established its presence on the ninth floor of 225 N Canon Drive in the heart of Beverly Hills. This ritzy 90210 rooftop location, which opened in 2023, provides guests with sweeping views of the surrounding hills, creating a picturesque setting that is noted to be gorgeous regardless of the time of day. The establishment positions itself as a destination not just for its elevated perspective but for its acclaimed beverage program.
The bar has quickly become known for what many consider to be some of the best all-around drinks available in the city. Its menu showcases a remarkable dedication to classic cocktails, highlighted by ten distinct iterations of the martini, each crafted with precision. Beyond these traditional favorites, Dante Beverly Hills also features its signature “fluffy” orange juice Garibaldi, a unique offering that has garnered attention. Recognizing Southern California's palate, the bar has also developed several agave-based creations specifically tailored for its Los Angeles location, providing local flavor profiles. For those mindful of caffeine, a decaf espresso martini is a notable inclusion on the menu, setting it apart from many other establishments. Additionally, to encourage sampling or lighter consumption, many of Dante’s signature cocktails, including a mini version of a Bloody Maria, can be served in half-portions. This flexibility allows patrons to explore the diverse menu more extensively.
As expected for its prime Beverly Hills address, the pricing for drinks at Dante Beverly Hills falls into a higher bracket, with most cocktails ranging from $19 to $30. However, the consistent quality and high standard of the beverages are frequently cited as making them well worth the price point.
Since its launch in 2023, the initial buzz and high demand surrounding Dante Beverly Hills have gradually settled. This shift means that while reservations are still highly recommended, especially for peak times like weekends or during sunset hours, it is now more feasible for guests to drop in casually for a drink. The option for walk-ins adds to the accessibility of the venue. Complementing the meticulously crafted drinks and stunning views is the luxurious ambiance throughout the space, which provides a wonderful and refined backdrop for any visit, whether it's for a quick evening cocktail or a leisurely afternoon beverage.
