Mama Shelter is a hotel rooftop bar/restaurant and come weekend afternoons, there isn’t a harder place to get into in Hollywood. But if you can sneak in during an off-time (weekday evenings) you’ll find a big roof space with solid cocktails, good snacks, and some of the best people-watching in town. Seeing the sun set over the mountains doesn’t hurt either.
