Beautiful rooftop oasis with some seriously good drinks
The Pod Hotel's rooftop is a gorgeous city oasis. Unlike many rooftop bars, this one feels warm and cozy and the cocktails are legit. Just beware of the mobs in the primetime hours, and consider coming in the quiet of the afternoon when you can fully relax and enjoy the city views.
