Carson Kitchen – Las Vegas, NV
“On a nice evening, you can sit on the roof and enjoy our lovely Vegas weather with a beautiful bar and staff members who will suggest the perfect brew for your tastebuds.” – Kimberly F on Yelp
The Garage Bar & Sandwiches – Chicago, IL
“This place has a rooftop deck, darts, and plenty of TVs to watch the game. It can get crowded on the weekends, but is still a great little place to enjoy a drink. I definitely will keep coming back.” – EJ J on Yelp
Three OAK Steakhouse – Easton, PA
“Check out the second and third floor before or after dinner. You might enjoy a drink at the bar on the second floor, and after dinner, move up to the rooftop lounge, which has a sliding glass roof, for a drink and an amazing view of the night sky. Check it out! If you are planning to dine here on weekends, I recommend making a reservation in advance.” – James G on Yelp
Krueger’s Tavern – Cincinnati, OH
“There’s always pleasant wait staff and consistent food… If you’re lucky enough to be seated out on the roof, you’re in for a real treat. They’re known for their burgers, but everything on the menu is worth trying.” – Eric W on Yelp
Our Wicked Lady – Brooklyn, NY
“The roof deck was a pleasant surprise. We ended up spending most of the night enjoying it up there and trying a bunch of different drinks.” – Matt D on Yelp
Burwell’s Stone Fire Grill – Charleston, SC
“They have a modern rooftop bar with tasty appetizers and craft cocktails, outstanding steak and seafood selections, plus their own pastry chef.” – Carol G on Yelp
Kettner Exchange – San Diego, CA
“If you’re in the mood for good vibes, great-tasting, shared-style cuisine, fun drinks, and a live DJ all on an open-air rooftop, Kettner is your place! Top tip – for a sundown experience, make a reservation between 5pm and 6pm. You’ll be able to experience the rooftop as the day turns from day to night.” – Yelp Elite Mark M
Lumi – San Diego, CA
“After checking in at the hostess stand on the sidewalk, we were escorted into an elevator for a ride up to the fourth floor, which was the building’s roof level. The outdoor setting was very spacious, with a large bar near the front and a sushi bar towards the back.” – Yelp Elite Emmett T
CANADA
