Astronaut and Frozen Appletini
Astronaut, Northern Lights and Frozen Appletini sit alongside craft and classic cocktails, conventional wine and craft beer. That range suits a mixed group without forcing one drinking lane.
Skyline views and outdoor terrace
Skyline and street-scene views shape the rooftop experience, while lounge seating, a seated bar, outdoor terrace, booths and private rooms give planners several ways to gather. Loud volume favors social plans over quiet conversation.
