It’s comparable to a margarita, though more tart than sweet. The Stars rooftop does not offer food, but there is a full restaurant with some great options on the lower level. I would definitely suggest checking it out after sipping a few cocktails on the rooftop. ÉLEVÉ Élevé is located on top of the Grand Bohemian Hotel. The rooftop is much smaller than most downtown rooftop bars, but the views and ambiance do not disappoint. From this rooftop, you can see the tops of beautiful historic buildings and neighborhoods nearby, as well as church steeples in the distance. The rooftop itself gives off a very chic and contemporary feel in the unique design of the chairs and tables. Élevé offers more sophisticated cocktails, but if you’re looking for simple and refreshing, the perfect go-to cocktail is their Kessler margarita. It is made with Exotico Reposado, Grand Marnier orange liqueur and fresh lime and orange juice. It’s sweet — but not overbearingly sweet — and full of citrus flavor from the orange and lime. The Pepper Mule is another great refreshing summer cocktail, but any consumer should be warned that the taste of this cocktail stays true to its name. The Pepper Mule is Photos by Laura Donnellon.
