I came here with friends over the weekend to check out this new rooftop bar. Layover is located on the 4th floor of the Intercontinental Hotel and they offer valet parking, but I found pakring on the street. My friends were running late, so I ordered the local flounder stuffed ceviche and the barbecue Gonestraw Farms duck buns for us to share since they were closing soon.I'm surprised the bar closes so early (8pm), but the rooftop is open all night. The menu looks like a flight schedule! Even one of my drinks had an airplane stirrer, so that was pretty neat. For drinks, we all tried the Aviation slushy cocktail. That one was pretty strong for me. I had the bartender make me something with strawberry in it, which was pretty refreshing. My other friends ordered a lemon drop and a strawberry frappe for their second drinks.The food was pretty tasty, but I wish they offered more bites on their menu. Also, the ceviche was a little too coconutty for me, but still yummy. I liked that we got to sit by the fire and enjoy the view of the waterfront. They even offered blankets, but it was pretty warm by the fire. This is the perfect spot if you want to spend a night out without all the crowds.
