The Figueroa Hotel’s Moroccan-themed Veranda Bar is a colorful haven of woven rugs, embroidered pillows and fabric-draped booths under the open sky. Laid out around the cool blue rectangle of the hotel pool, the Veranda Bar is a vacation-worthy oasis complete with potted succulents, glowing lanterns and fez-clad servers. At one end of the pool, an ornate wooden bar serves up the usual – beer, wine, mixed drinks – as well as some unfamiliar concoctions, such as the electric blue “Fire and Ice,” which is served in a frosted martini glass. A poolside annex hides a second, smaller bar perfect for private parties and weddings.
