A rooftop restaurant or bar is always something special, but right now, because of coronavirus, you might be even more interested in these venues.
There’s a push, even amid reopening, for more restaurant dining to occur outdoors. This can help facilitate social distancing, so there’s no better time to look for outdoor dining options. Even if a restaurant doesn’t have outdoor dining, the following are some of the best options in the U.S. with the best views to dream about when you’re ready to go out and about again.
Six Feet Under
Six Feet Under is located in Atlanta, and there are actually two locations. Six Feet Under is known for its extensive local beer list as well as their seafood. One location of Six Feet Under is in West Midtown, and the other is in Grant Park.
Both have a rooftop bar area, but the one in West Midtown arguably has better views of the Atlanta skyline.
You can expect to find casual fare on the menu like oysters, tacos, and pecan pie, which is a southern favorite.
The weekend brunch is very lively and popular at Six Feet Under too.
The Watch: Rooftop Kitchen & Spirits
The Watch is a rooftop restaurant in beautiful and historic Charleston, South Carolina.
It’s located on the top of The Restoration hotel, and you walk through the lobby and to the elevators, where you’re then taken to The Watch. It’s an industrial-style restaurant and the patio areas are chic and minimalist. You can take in the historic architecture surrounding the restaurant and in the distance, you’ll glimpse the Ravenel Bridge.
While it has an extensive cocktail menu, The Watch is also a full-service restaurant. You’ll find unique options like alligator corn dogs and pork belly Bolognese.
Geraldine’s
