Butterfly: Culver City’s New Rooftop Spot

There’s a new rooftop in town that’s worth checking out. Butterfly, sitting on top of The Shay Hotel in Culver City, is the latest project from the José Andrés Group. The name comes from a small monarch butterfly that once landed on the rooftop, and the restaurant has carried that playful spirit ever since.


Rooftop Vibes

The space wraps around The Shay’s rooftop pool, giving you some of the best views of Culver City and beyond. It’s the kind of spot that works for brunch under the sun, golden hour cocktails, or a casual dinner that stretches into the evening. The vibe feels colorful, easygoing, and just a little bit celebratory.



What’s on the Menu

Butterfly leans into Mexican flavors with a creative twist. You’ll find favorites like Baja fish tacos with crispy rockfish, carnitas tacos with avocado salsa verde, and a fun take on queso fundido that’s flambéed with tequila. There’s also ceviche with pineapple-habanero marinade, and crispy Brussels sprouts tossed with chile and pumpkin seeds. The menu is built around sharing, so it’s great for groups.


Drinks lean heavily on agave spirits, with a focus on additive-free tequila and mezcal. The Salt Air Margarita is already becoming a staple, but there are plenty of other cocktails (and mocktails) that play with fresh juices and herbs.



A Different Kind of Rooftop Bar

Over the summer, Butterfly even hosted Bar Nuda—a zero-proof pop-up that offered Mexican-inspired cocktails without the alcohol. It showed how versatile the space is: sometimes lively and buzzing, other times calm and reflective, but always with good food and views to match.

The Mexican-inspired menu and rooftop vibes at Butterfly sound absolutely incredible! Enjoying agave spirits and Baja tacos while taking in the LA skyline is the perfect way to appreciate the rich cultural history of the region.

Speaking of ancient Mesoamerican traditions, if you're ever curious about exploring that heritage further, discovering your unique profile using a Mayan astrology calculator is a fascinating experience. It’s a fantastic conversation starter to share with friends while sipping on those Salt Air Margaritas on the roof!

From what I have looked into, Norway does not run an open multi licence market. Specific activities are assigned to national providers under public oversight rather than opened up to competing commercial brands. Norsk Tipping covers lottery products, sports betting and online casino games, while Norsk Rikstoto handles anything tied to horse racing. Supervision sits with the Norwegian Gambling and Foundation Authority. Anyone wanting the full picture can work through https://www.ectmih2021.no/is-gambling-legal-in-norway and compare it against their own reading. Foreign platforms are not allowed to market or provide services to the Norwegian market without national permission, and a licence held elsewhere does not substitute for one here. Authorities assess each service on its own rather than on where the company is…
