The Encounter's cocktail lounge... at the center of it all!The intergalactic-themed interior of the Encounter captures the optimism of a futuristic L.A., as symbolized by the landmark building's exterior. The restaurant's other-worldly features include moonstone quarry walls and a crater-shaped bar with bar guns that emit laser lights and futuristic sound effects when bartenders pour a drink. Bar stools appear to float in air, and combined with customized lava lights provide a flowing, levitating environment.

So, whether you're between flights, between appointments, between husbands, or between The Valley and Orange County, why not join us at the Encounter. It's one alien abduction you'll look forward to again & again! end topic -  to top of page
