AVA Rooftop Bar

Came to visit my family in nearby Raleigh and my cousins decided to take us out. I live near the Battery in Atlanta where the braves play and they mentioned a similar concept was in nearby Cary, NC.Once I found out they had rooftops and sport and social, I was all in and excited to hangout with my cousins. The bartenders and host were great and the rooftop was spacious yet not too crowded. This is definitely a spot for weekend turn-up.

This spot is incredible! A couple friends and I stopped by on a Sunday for some mimosas and they were incredible! It is a little warm in the sun, so I definitely recommend going when the weather is cooler. The ambiance is adorable and the service was spectacular! We got mimosa flights and each one was delicious. Definitely recommend checking out their daily deals, they have some great ones! 9/10!!

This spot is on the 4th floor, above Sports & Social and PBR. The rooftop ambience is awesome. Adding this destination on to visiting all the floors would be my recommendation. As a stand alone, the rooftop bar lacks menu options and good drinks. Service is friendly and the bar is slow. Mixed drinks seemed lacking of flavor for their price point. Overall, I would go again if I am with a group of friends visiting the building. Not sure I would go for an intimate evening. 21+

Definitely a vibe! This spot is 100% geared towards adults who want a more lively night out, they don't even let children in. Which, even though I have a young child, it is kind of refreshing and I'm here for it. It is a great spot to grab a drink when the weather is nice, but it does get loud. So not ideal if you are really trying to have a convo. We kept having to hunt our server down and had to wait an incredibly long time to order any food or get another drink. The food options are limited so this is more of a spot to grab a drink and app before you head out. Could have just been an off night service wise. This place is a bit tricky to find. You literally walk through the downstairs restaurant, Sports and Social, to the back deck of elevators and head to the roof. Parking is easy at Fenton though, always plenty of spots to be had.

As my last stop before heading home, I decided to check out Ava. The location is extremely convenient for me. There is plenty of parking here that's effortless. Ava is only accessible through Sports & Social and it's on the third floor. Once off the elevator, there was a hostess to my left. The hostess immediately acknowledged all who entered and exited. I love what they're doing here at Ava. Not the best view. I think the apartments shouldn't be my view when looking around. Besides that, Ava is nice and clean. There wasn't a struggle to get the bartender's attention. I had a Gin Martini for $24. I thought the price was a bit higher than what I'm used to. Since I'm not a heavy drinker the price was doable. I also found that there were mostly professional adults in this space if this helps. I do recommend this as a decent nightcap or end-of-week relaxing space to call it a night before heading home. I would consider it in the future.

First time visiting this new rooftop bar to the Cary area. And the ambiance is very cool and trendy would be awesome for a date night or a spot to hangout after work. The only downside for me is there is not any type of overhead covering, luckily the DJ did have an awning over him. So if you're looking to try this on an NC summer day I would say wait until the sun go down or prepare to wait until a seat at the bar is free. I didn't try the food so that's why I gave it 3 stars. But the food was delivered covered to those that did.

Olivia was fantastic! Very attentive and pleasant. She always had her eyes on the tables to make sure we were taken care of.

When the weather is nice this is the perfect place to hang out. Very relaxed vibe and great cocktails. I had the Aqua de Valencia. Mediterranean tapas are delicious, too!

Brenna was an amazing server, she was friendly, engaging and quick. The atmosphere was great for our first time!

Went with my bestie last night and we loved Ava! Super attentive, kind staff and fun summer drinks. We loved our charcuterie board too. The view is awesome and we'll def be back! The only thing is it feels like the music is trying to be more of a club party scene, whereas most people there were late 20's and up just trying to have a casual drink with friends in a Wednesday night, some lower key music might fit the vibe more. But who knows!
