Going to Encounter is probably the only time you'll go to an airport for fun without getting on a plane. This Space Age bar/restaurant is like a retro trip back to the future of the 60s. The music is DJ-spun cocktail lounge on Friday nights and live on Saturdays. If you miss your lava lamp from years ago, this is a must stop on a weekend night. This place offers fun in a clean-cut, toony way.

“An Encounter to remember (for all the wrong reasons)”
The Encounter restaurant is the Jetson's version of a greasy spoon. The decor is obviously inspired by someone's idea of 1960s "space age" (thi...

The place to be if you have time before your flight.
I have been here many times. It is a perfect place to meet someone who has a layover or to have a good-bye cocktail before your friend departs....
LAX's trippy airborne bar and restaurant adds to the sense that this city is another planet.
Managed and revamped by Disney's Imagineers into a Jetsons-style fantasy, the futuristic experience begins the minute the doors ope
