    Winter sun in Los Angeles: patios & rooftops

    Best time for winter sun in Los Angeles

    LA winters are mostly mild and bright; a sheltered patio or rooftop can feel warm at lunch even when evenings turn cool.

    Find the patio that keeps the sun

    Low winter sun can leave patios in building shade before sunset. Compare estimated sun hours for listed Los Angeles patios and rooftop bars using available venue hours and local weather. Guest reports are separate observations; forecasts do not guarantee a sunny table. Check today's weather and outdoor service with the venue.

      Compare estimated sun hours for 295 listed spots in Los Angeles. Calculations and venue-provided hours help with planning, but buildings, umbrellas and a table's position can change actual conditions.

    • Ratings where available

      Check available Google and Sun Map guest ratings alongside venue details. Missing ratings do not imply a place has been reviewed.

    • Live reports from locals

      Guest reports describe conditions someone observed at a venue. Where available, compare these with the forecast; a report is not a promise about your table.

    Guide: sun and terraces in Los Angeles

    Sun Map maps 295 outdoor spots in Los Angeles, including 1 rooftop bars and 1 beach clubs. Sun status is calculated from the real-time position of the sun and topped up with sun hours flagged by guests and owners. You see where the sun actually is right now – not just where there are outdoor tables.

    Local tips for Los Angeles

    • Spots facing the Pacific get an open western aspect and hold the evening sun longer than inland streets.
    • The terrace season in Los Angeles effectively runs March–November; outside it, expect heaters and blankets.
    • At midday shade beats sun – filter on Shade and save the sun for the evening.

    Good to know

    • Narrow streets lose the sun earlier – rooftop bars in Los Angeles keep it longest.
    • Prefer shade? Filter on Shade for umbrellas, pergolas and awnings.
    • Opening and sun hours are kept up to date by the community – flag any changes.

    FAQ – Los Angeles

    Which Los Angeles patios have sun right now?

    Does Sun Map work for shade and hot days too?
    Browse the shade category where venues have shade or shelter tags. Not every listing has these details; confirm umbrellas, covered seating and availability with the venue.
    Can I find late outdoor dining in Los Angeles?
