A Polished Base for Dinner and Live Sets

Plan a one night Westside to Downtown arc with rideshare between neighborhoods, a hotel base, paid drinks, and ticketed live music. It suits adults who prefer a late start around 3:00 PM and an unhurried pace.


The route at a glance


Begin with a high base

Montrose makes the overnight portion feel self contained, with suite rooms, a rooftop pool deck, panoramic views, and an open air tennis court. The property adds pickleball, a private lounge, breakfast, and complimentary garage parking, so you can settle in before evening. Its rooftop cocktail hour runs daily. Guests should plan around the access rule, check in begins at 3:00 PM and late check out can reach 3:00 PM. The hotel is 21 and over for check in.

Move into rooftop drinks

Somewhere Special shifts from daytime snacks to a late rooftop hang, with a plant garden look, skyline views, lounge seating, fireside spots, DJs, and occasional showcases for up and coming Latin hip hop artists. The menu stays light with sandwiches, nachos, and a charcuterie board with jam and olives, while the plunge pool is unheated. Drinks sit in a premium downtown bracket. Entry is restricted to visitors 21 and over, and the listed schedule starts Thursday at 3:00 PM.

Stay for the close quarters

Troubadour brings a 1957 club history into a compact room where the stage stays central. A front tavern leads to the main hall, with clear sightlines and sharp sound for touring indie bands and established acts. The venue welcomes all ages, which broadens the route beyond nightlife only. Plan for a standing concert, seating is limited to the bar and upper level, with the room primarily standing room. Closed toed shoes and printed paper tickets are listed for entry.
