Partying on the rooftop

So my girl Olivia Fortson caught a little heat for her partying on the rooftop package last week.

The folks at the Forum were a little chafed that she didn't include their rooftop. The Forum does have a phat rooftop. It's spacious with a bar and it's perfect for people-watching along College and Sixth Street.

Other readers complained that the rooftop at Presto Bar and Grill wasn't included. I'm not really feeling that complaint because there's no good people-watching happening in that area.


By the way the rooftop patio at Cans will be doing a test run this weekend. They're still getting furniture and other essentials, but weather permitting it will be open.

Olivia will be running a follow-up rooftop story in Friday's E&T, but until then I wanted your feedback on your favorite rooftops and balconies.


Who has the best spot and what's the best night to go? Post your replies below.

For enjoying the Dilworth atmosphere, you can't beat City Tavern's rooftop...and in nearby Myers Park the patios at Selwyn Pub and the old Kaffe Frappe (now Nolen's Kitchen) are the best.

I second Olivia's spotlight on the Mint Young Affiliates rooftop events. Friday's was great. Good food, open bar (beer & wine), live music and perfect weather. The uptown crowd seems to love this event-its in their own backyard, what's not to love?

Given Cans' warehouse feel, their rooftop was tiny. Big disappointment given the view from there...

Cans' deck is really small, they have to many tables out there and it is really loud from the train. The only nice view is of the skyline....

The Holiday Inn Center City has an awesome view, but they only open it for private events. If you're lucky enough to get invited, go.
