A hotel rooftop lounge that’s most compelling as a cocktails-and-small-plates stop, with the skyline doing the atmosphere work. Treat it like a focused two-round night—one signature cocktail, one or two bites, then call it before the spend creeps.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lobster dumplings, Pork bao buns, Crystal Jungle cocktail
What makes it special: An 18th-floor rooftop bar built for skyline-view cocktails.
7.8
A big-room Old Town sports bar where the burger is built for high volume and watch-the-game pacing. Expect a crowd-forward vibe, fast table turnover, and a burger that plays best when you keep it classic and treat everything else as supporting cast.
Must-Try Dishes:
Benchmark Burger, Wings, Fries
What makes it special: High-capacity sports-bar energy with a dependable burger option.
