Time Out says

Located in five cities, Broken Shaker is a James Beard nominated-rooftop bar concept atop the Freehand Hotel in Downtown L.A. Like moths to a flame, trendy clientele and youngish Angelenos from all over flock to this quirky, colorful and palm-laden rooftop bar. Cool off with eclectic, moderately priced cocktails—with some equally colorful garnishes—served from the thatched-roof bar, including the Oscar De La Hoya, Broken Shaker’s take on a spicy margarita incorporating strawberry and Aperol. For a crowd, you can also order a punch bowl with your choice of spirit, fruit and botanical for $300 (each one contains 10 to 12 servings). Food-wise, there’s guac and chips, grilled skewers and a jerk chicken sandwich, all of which make for great finger food while taking in excellent sunset views of Downtown.

Higher Grooves NYE Rooftop Party at Broken Shaker

The Freehand hotel will bring the house down New Year’s Eve at its rooftop oasis, Broken Shaker. Local music collectives Made to Move and LOW Recordings have curated a lineup of artists—agraybé, Akumen, Andy Oro, Beggar, Dirt Vibes and Naomi Green—who will be spinning infectious house, disco and electronic music all night long. Grab a handcrafted cocktail and dance with the DTLA skyline as your backdrop—you might even be able to spot some NYE fireworks from up there. The best part: Entry is free (last year there was a complimentary champagne toast at midnight too).
