Before you head over
Essential planning advice to elevate your 22nd-floor cocktail experience.
Reserve Ahead for Window Tables
If panoramic skyline views are your priority, reserve in advance to secure a window table; otherwise, seats at the bar offer front-row interaction with the cocktail team.
Arrive Early for Live Music
Live piano sets accompany evening drinks, but late-night seatings risk catching only the final minutes—arrive earlier in the evening to enjoy the full performance.
Consult Bartenders for Custom Pours
Instead of feeling limited to standard printed drinks, share your flavor preferences directly with the bartenders, who excel at tailoring bespoke creations to your palate.
