What People Say

Guests rave about the sweeping views, stylish design, and lively atmosphere. Many mention the friendly staff, great cocktails, and how it’s the perfect place to catch the sunset before a night out. Reviewers on OpenTable and TripAdvisor often note the great vibe for celebrations and pre-event meetups, and it's consistently praised for being a trendy alternative to typical sports bars or fast-casual spots downtown.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors noted that the food menu is a bit limited, especially if you're looking for a full dinner rather than light bites. The rooftop can also get crowded on weekends, so if you want a quieter experience, a weekday visit might be better. And while the views are spectacular, seating can be competitive during peak hours.
