A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
This is an indoor rooftop / restaurant.
We stopped by this place after work for drinks and a quick / light dinner. Got a version of an Aperol spritz, except it was also strawberry infused. I liked it.
For food for their ribs and pork bao bun. Both were great.
Only thing I’d change for next time is for us to try and sit in the outside rooftop portion, and not in the dining area (they ran out of space in the outside portion).
So this rooftop was on top of the hotel I was staying at (The Bisha Hotel). Got breakfast and dinner (plus drinks).
For breakfast (which $60 per day was covered by the hotel since I booked through Amex), got their breakfast special. I will say the scrambled eggs were a bit more runny than I wanted, so I would get it again, but tell them to make it less runny.
For dinner + drinks, got an expresso martini which was great (asked them to put no sweetener / simple syrup). Also got macallan 12 (actually got a bunch of them because at the time, the LCBO was on strike!). For dinner just got the bread plate and tacos (tried both the beef and chicken). Will say that I would probably try something else instead of the tacos next time.
Also, as you can see from below the rooftop view was great. So will be coming back.
While shopping at Georgetown in DC, we stopped by this place to grab a quick drink before the airport.
Got an Aperol spritz. Would come back if around the areas
We tried out this rooftop bar while waiting for our reservation at Hell’s Kitchen in DC around the wharf area.
Got a simple drink, glenlevit neat. Will come back for sure (and even try some of their cocktails). We went when it was raining, but the outside looks sick if it were sunny.
This rooftop bar is actually pretty good. The view of the New York skyline was great, and also people watching was fun. Had a very Gen Z vibe (even one guy was trying to impress some girl with his trust fund).
FYI, the entrance of it is not obvious (on street level).
I will say drinks are not cheap (it was $25 for one drink… although they do give heavy pours).
I would come back for the people and view.
We went here for drinks after working in the Apple New York Office at Penn station. It’s located in Korean Town at the top of a 14 story hotel. The hotel itself does look a bit newer and out of place than the rest of the area. However, getting into the elevator (which took 4 seconds per floor) and the rooftop itself, it didn’t feel as new.
I would say the drinks I had were given (the lychee martini was great and the glass of Glenlevit), however I would rather choose a bar that has a better skyline view and is higher (see below).
We lucked out and were able to eat at this rooftop at brunch. The rooftop is at the hotel we stayed at in Chicago called Chicago Athletic Association. One of us basically put our name down early in the day, and we eventually got in (14 people before us on the wait list).
Got the traditional brunch food… mimosa, and the Cindy breakfast (scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes). All were great and would get them again.
Also, the rooftop view is pretty good (you can see the bean from up top).
