Themed cocktails celebrate Hollywood at the Four Seasons’ plush Windows Lounge.

The go-to spot for after-hours business in Hollywood might be the Windows Lounge at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles. There always seems to be a slew of actors, producers, agents, financiers and others from behind the scenes in the busy lounge, which serves a light menu throughout the day into late night. Upscale street food (crispy shrimp toast) and vegan dishes are available as are standard bites such as sliders, seafood salad and perhaps the city’s best fish and chips.

Cigar and cigarette smoking is permitted on the shaded and well-appointed patio. Indoors there’s music on weekend nights and celebrities are commonplace at the lounge—although there are darkened corners, the lounge thrives on the see-and-be-seen crowd. In celebration of the 2014 Golden Globes Awards, several cocktails snappily salute the nominated films: Foxcatcher in the Rye, You’ll be Gone Girl (pictured) and the Theory of EveryZING add a touch of movie magic to the premium cocktail selection.
