Why Concert-goers love it

Rise Rooftop Lounge is a hit with concert-goers thanks to its proximity to Anaheim’s top live music venues — you can easily grab a drink and bite before strolling to your show. The lounge’s open-air setting and upbeat soundtrack make it a great place to soak in the pre-show excitement. Service is generally quick and efficient, even during peak times, so you won’t feel rushed or stressed about making it to your seat on time.

What People Say

Many compliment the well-crafted cocktails and share that the food — especially the flatbreads and sliders — is perfect for sharing. Guests also highlight the lounge’s chic décor, attentive staff, and the overall experience as a “hidden gem” in Anaheim.

Areas for Improvement

While the rooftop setting is a major draw, some visitors mention that seating can be limited during peak hours. A few reviews note that prices can be a bit steep for the portion sizes, so it’s best to come during happy hour if you're watching your wallet.
