Had an amazing time hosting a party at Highwater Rooftop! The whole experience was top-notch from start to finish. My friends and I had an absolute blast. The vibe was perfect, and they had the drinks flowing all night. The food was delicious (seriously, everything we ordered was on point), the cocktails were creative and really well made, and the rooftop itself is stunning. Beautiful views, stylish atmosphere, and just the right energy for a fun night out. Highly recommend for anyone planning a celebration or just looking for a great spot to hang out!

We loved the vibes at this bar! We arrived about 30 mins before last call and it was rather empty inside due to the rain; nonetheless, the playlist was jumping and the drinks were strong! I can only imagine how live it would be if the weather were nicer. The venue is indoor/outdoor with two bars, two levels and tons of seating.

Okay okay let’s get into this review!! So it’s at the top of indigo hotel which is cute you take the elevator up and then you have to choose a side. I would say it’s rather on the small side but they have a like some tables set up on both sides. Cute couch a little tight but still cute when it’s sunny out there’s nice outside tables as well. So when you go upstairs it’s more like an express bar there’s no tables or chair just outdoor. Now hunny if you’re afraid of heights going up them stairs may make you feel crazy just don’t look down haha. The happy hour on Friday is till 1am and the options are pretty good lots of good options for drinks and food and it was really good. We had the spinach and artichoke dip it was small serving but literally delicious! Ricardo was a phenomenal bartender and he was so nice and kind had us try some greens tea shots and they were amazing! Throughout the night he was attentive and was just a delight to have. Once the DJ came he was playing the jamssssss (rnb and hip hop from 2000s ) the millennial in me was so happy and the crowd was great too! Would definitely go back but this time won’t have so many dry martinis don’t know who I thought I was lmao but overall Small space but intimate Great bartender and service Food is great Get there early if you want some good seats and views!

Drinks were good, food was not it. We got a burger and the Cesar salad which was not good. The views on the rooftop were cool. We went before a concert at the pier.
