Chic shopping centers and luxurious condos may have replaced Century City’s sultry Playboy Club and enchanted back lots, but at the historic Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel, doormen still sport Beefeater outfits and the hotel bar is still the place to see and be seen. Catering to hotel guests, high-powered executives and moguls-in-training, X Bar hosts an excellent evening happy hour within a serenely naturalistic environment of shades of tans, browns and sensual neutrals.

Settled within semi-enclosed booths or around an outdoor fire pit, enjoy 50% reduced pricing on selected cocktails and small plates. Make it a priority to try the Turkey Nachos—oozing with fresh guacamole, sour cream, cheese and scrumptious turkey, these nachos are a colossal monstrosity great for sharing. Other highly recommended choices: the Ahi Tuna Wonton Stacks, Fiery Chicken Morsels and the Garlic Fries.

We also suggest ordering an Xtrology cocktail, an X Bar invention. Inspired by the zodiac signs, bartenders worked relentlessly to create a cocktail for every month of the year. The result: twelve colorful drinks overflowing with exotic, one-of-a-kind ingredients and catchy names (i.e., The Capricorn Garnet.) Cruise over to X Bar during your birthday month to receive a complimentary Xtrology cocktail. Now if that’s not a great birthday present, we don’t know what is.
