Reviews
Fantastic rooftop spot! Stumbled into Margaritaville’s 5 o’clock Somewhere bar and loved it. The views from the rooftop are great, the cocktails are delicious and well-made, and the staff went completely out of their way to be friendly and welcoming. I didn't get any food this time around, but the drinks and hospitality alone make this a major recommendation. Will definitely be back!
Place is clean. Servers are friendly. Food great. Time to receive food not long at all. Just the server could've checked on us a bit more often.
It's a pretty cozy place, the service is amazing, the drinks are delicious. The views? It is the goal of everything. You can see the city and have great photos. You can go with friends, with couples. It is welcoming and even intimate. The prices are quite affordable. Recommended.
