About the venue: A rooftop lounge and restaurant rated 4.2 from around 320 reviews, mid-priced, open 4pm to 11pm Monday to Wednesday and midnight on Thursday. The rooftop view over downtown is what reviewers consistently praise, along with the cocktails; food and service reviews are more mixed. Being a hotel venue, it is set up for functions and has a late-night menu.

Getting there: The venue is on the seventh floor of the Hyatt House at Seaboard Station, just north of downtown Raleigh — take the lift rather than looking for a street entrance. There is no rail transit, so arrival is by car or rideshare, with hotel and street parking on site. Reviewers note it is roughly a ten-minute walk to the Glenwood South bar district.
