Melrose Rooftop Theatre | 603 N. La Cienega Blvd., West Hollywood 90069
Located just upstairs from the Holly Jolly Holiday Bar on E.P. & L.P.’s rooftop, the all-new Melrose Alpine Club is less of a pop-up than a glow-up.

All ages are welcome on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 3 p.m.; the club is 21+ on Fridays and after 6 p.m. on weekends. Your ticket includes skate rental and the seasonal treat of your choice. Sweet!
