Chateau Carbide

Overall good drinks, albeit a bit expensive most likely due to the fact that it is in a very popular area with a very nice view of the city on the 24th floor of the Pendry building. Drinks are made exactly the way they are written, so there are no negative surprises or positive pleasant surprise highlights. My friends and I ordered the Bonjour (belvedere vodka, blueberry, vanilla, absinthe, and fever-tree club soda), the Frappe Carbide (absinthe, raspberry, lychee, fever-tree sparkling lime & yuzu, and eggwhite), and the two spirit free drinks: Evening in the Garden (lapsang souchang, lemon, fever-tree sparkling sicilian lemonade) and Lime Basil Spritz (lime basil syrup, soda, and olive oil). I will speak to the Bonjour that I ordered: It has a lot of red licorice at the bottom, so if you are a fan of licorice, you will love it for sure when you mix the drink up. Otherwise, drinking it as is will be just fine.The bar has a good amount of cozy couches on the rooftop that turn out very nice in the summer in the evening. If you have a large party of people, it will be completely fine as each area with couches is pretty big.

Big fan of tiki drinks and rooftop bars. When I saw that Strong Water Anaheim would be doing a pop-up, I promptly booked a spot. In all fairness...I wasn't quite sure what this would entail. As the advertisement was unclear other than specialty drinks from Strong Water would be served and lite bites. I tried getting more info on this venue's social media and website. Only thing I could ascertain was that there was a French Happy Hour from 5 to 7pm. Well...not on this evening which was a bummer. They decided no happy hour because of the pop-up. Had I known that was no happy hour, I would of went to happy hour somewhere else and came for the view and tiki drink after 7pm. Anyway...first disappointment was no happy hour. Second disappointment was slow service. It took over 30 minutes to get our cocktails. Our server was nice and even served us a cup of popcorn with their housemade yeast seasoning but this really dampered the mood. There was only 2 dedicated server for the whole patio. Seriously there were more hostess. By the time we got our first round we were ready to go. The menu didn't interest us and we didn't want to pay for another $20 drink. On this occasion they did have DJ settings up as we were leaving. The social media said live music 6pm to 8pm. We left at 650pm. It was too late to get happy hour downtown by this point. While I enjoyed my drink, I was underwhelmed with the pop-up. Really I think it was a missed opportunity for both businesses to showcase their brands. Overall the view was spectacular, one of our servers was nice. The bathrooms were clean. Unsure if I would return but maybe.

Stopped in for a Friday night experience. Great views on the rooftop and Alexis was very friendly and knowledgeable. The Cannonfire bourbon drink was a 3/5 but expensive. My issue was the slow service. It seems that they were short staffed. Be ready to wait. For the price paid , I expected more . I gave an extra star for the view alone

Great atmosphere on the roof of the Pendry hotel. Made a reservation for New Year's eve, there was a live violinist and a dj. Definitely high end, the prices show it. Ordered a Frappe Caribe and it was very underwhelming for $22. The baked cheese with fig jam was great, cheaper than the drinks. Come check it out for a good vibe and view, but don't expect amazing beverages.

I feel like this place is underrated re rooftop and views! I hardly hear anyone taking about it, maybe because it is so hidden. But it's a great little drink spot! Some fun food options too, menu seems to change often. Unique absinthe drinks . But definitely pricey!

Relaxing rooftop on the top of the Pendry hotel. 3.5 starsHighlights: - Atmosphere: chill, quiet, and couch seating indoors and outdoorsMidlights: - Didn't have reservations open so we started indoors but eventually the staff led us to be able to sit outdoors. Lowlights:- Most cocktails had absinthe in them which is not my favorite. Overpowered each drink with that black licorice flavor.Nice environment to enjoy a few evening drinks without crowds.

Definitely a hidden and unknown rooftop bar which was cute, quiet and provided beautiful views of the city. We did not eat any food, but the drinks were nice. A speciality is their use of the fever tree mix in their drinks. Service was pleasant. It is first come first serve but we didn't send up waiting too long for a seat for two.

Came here twice now with fiends from out of town and I, selfishly, love that the crowds have not overrun this location. The views are terrific and the vibe is much more relaxed than the Uber busy competing rooftop locations. The first time we sat inside and really like the vibe - we can get a bit loud after a few drinks but we even had our server hysterically laughing! (Everyone here is so nice!). The second time I came, despite the cloud coverage, we sat outside to take in the views and fresh air. The outdoor furniture was super comfortable too! We settled on a bottle of Chandon Rosé which came out super fast! Service here was top notch - they even moved us inside and held a table for us inside once it started to sprinkle. Next visit I will be trying the sushi - it looks amazing and I wish we would hav come here for food and not just drinks.

Really nice view and rooftop ambience Heaters were not very warm. Service was very good. Food and Drinks were a little above average depending on how much you spend.

We were a little underwhelmed. This is on top of the Pendry so we had decent expectations. The elevator takes entirely too long to get there. Once upstairs the hostesses were all super nice even though patrons are oblivious to anything else going on. The entry way is a tight squeeze. Once seated, the rooftop is a small area. Nice area for pictures and a sunset. The menu is pretty centered around Absinthe. The food menu is very limited and small bites, don't go expecting to really eat. Drinks were good, service was ok.
