There’s really no cooler place for an after party than the Clarendon. The roof top, while it certainly has its limits (literally, per fire code), is an excellent place to grab a drink while enjoying the cool night air.

While the roof seems to be definitely working, the downstairs bar/restaurant area has been in flux for quite a while. The bar, now much more open, looks like a success, but the restaurant is closed and completely gutted. No news on what’s going in there yet, but owner Ben Bethel said it’s being handled by a guy who’s no stranger to successful Valley ventures.
