Such a cool place and a 3 minute drive! This sleek and cozy rooftop hangout makes for a feisty happy hour. The meticulously crafted cocktail lineup and menu of small bites -- think frozen Painkillers, spicy Mexican Mules, and chicken tinga empanadas -- can be had heavily discounted. But Sunday is when things really kick off thanks to a DJ-fueled brunch (and the revamped setup offers plenty of shading from the sun). Cure your hangover with frozen vodka Gatorade while you feast on mezze platters, pulled pork egg sandwiches, and cookie butter French toast.
