5 /5 Cast Valet 360: The Hollywood Rooftop Restaurant & Bar by Madame Tussauds, ok that’s a mouthful! Ok Madame Tussauds Rooftop is a more than worthy visit. Where else can you have a drink at the bar amongst “The Rock” and “Leo DiCaprio“ … fine … likenesses :)?
Wax statues from Madame Tussauds have always fascinated me. I’ve never gone inside because when you’ve been in LA like I have for over 32 years you
think you’re just too cool for tourist attractions. Well the roof top bar is 1000 times better than just a tourist attraction. The museum is fantastic by itself but The (long name) Hollywood Rooftop Restaurant & Bar by Madame Tussauds short name Madame Tussauds Rooftop… is such a cool place to grab a bite and a drink. Whether you’re a local or tourist.
When you come up the elevator to the … Rooftop you can be seated at the bar or table where you can eat, drink and see a-list celebrity statues. It’s a win-win. I’m sure they rotate the statues but on my visit Leo was by the bar, The Rock was by the bar, Will Smith was chilling, Scarlett Johansson was ready for a selfie and guess who had an empty seat next to her? Zendaya! Check out the photos…
It was such a unique vibe the figures are so lifelike and you’re there eating and drinking amongst them, even if they’re wax representatives it’s still amazing! I often say people come to The Hollywood Walk Of Fame to see “stars” on the ground. To tell everyone back home they saw “stars”. But in this photo friendly experience you can eat and drink with life-size masterpieces of some entertainment giants.
I sat at the bar with no time for food but I studied the menu and it looked plentiful. They offer regular bar fare but some specialties that caught my eye in the dessert column. I will bring a friend back to explore the “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend”. A look around and I saw a HUGE burger for another guest. The burgers come with wedges and can be made with impossible beef, the menu said, for those so inclined. I’m not inclined. I’m trying to eat cleaner as my other reviews explain but I need my burger to burger.
I decided on the Mai Tai and waited patiently for it to be made. Is that an ice crusher… wait is that a mason jar… wait is that fresh mint… ok they had me at ice crusher. Fantastic drink, good pour and the bar tender was super attentive!
Let me spell it out… If your in Hollywood and you can get a $20 burger and wedges, Mai Tai $15, plus 20% tip that includes music, Hollywood cool vibes, actual celebrity statues, and an attentive staff to cater to you… should you go? It’s rhetorical, just get yourself here. Matter of fact sign me up too, I’ll be back!
