The Rooftop at Clermont

I have mixed feelings about the Hotel Clermont rooftop. I'm sure it is on plenty of "must see and do" in Atlanta, and I won't contest that recommendation. I've been here with my friends and with my classmates for senior night during college. Their drinks are definitely very strong and in the $15-$20 range. There are maybe about 10 drink options on the menu. I have tried one of their sandwiches and it was good but not spectacular. The view cannot be beat, and there is plenty of seating. As well as different types of seating for different types of friends and evenings. The bathrooms are also super clean! I would maybe try to add the basement Clermont Lounge to your night. I have also heard of the karaoke downstairs but haven't tried yet.

The atmosphere was absolutely amazing and fun! We went during the perfect time while the sun was setting. There's the skyline view w/ the different colors in the sky, you can imagine. The way getting up to the roof was an experience itself. There's mini golf & lots of fun carnival like games that you can pay to play. Not to mention, there's a whole slide! It's truly a playground for grown ups! Very cool place to check out when your in ATL.

It is what it is. The staff is amazing. It wasn't a earth shattering can't wait to go back experience but it is an amazing venue to meetup with friends for a post work cocktail situation or vibing with a date before heading to the main act. I LOVE the tent on the roof right now. I can admittedly say that I haven't added The Rooftop to my rotation because it's been raining so much in the city. The tent needs to stay. It opens up soany opportunities to kick it without the fear of being rained out.Drinks- we had a Cosmonaut and (_________), they were OK. The drinks give me dive bar meets Ruby Tuesdays. Not super impressive. It's a cool pre or post outing vibe.

First off: some other reviews appear to have confused this place with the nearby but COMPLETELY different Skyline Park (rooftop games, restaurants, drinks) at Ponce City Market.This business is the Rooftop of the Clermont Hotel, which is a smaller rooftop area primarily good for evening food/drinks.Wanted to do some late night drinks with a view after dinner, so came here a little before 11 pm with a large group of girlfriends on a Saturday night. First off, the view of ATL from here is LOVELY and we liked that it wasn't super crowded when we first arrived. That said, the wait for drinks here is kind of insane. They had 1 bartender working on a Saturday night and he seemed to take forever to make even simple drinks. After waiting almost 30 min in line for drinks (at which point the place got progressively more crowded), someone then announced it was last call and the bar would close at midnight, which was tough when we hadn't even ordered a first round of drinks. Most folks in my group ended up getting cocktails, and I found my daiquiri overly sweet and definitely not worth the wait, particularly because the roof is so cold (due to the windiness of being on the roof + no heat lamps or anything to make you feel more comfortable). Suffice to say our trip was short lived here.A nice place to stop in just for the view/picture opportunities, but I don't know if I'd come here again for anything more than that. We had more fun hanging out in the lobby of the hotel and chit chatting.

We didn't order any food from here. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure there is any lol However, the staff was so nice and the views from inside and outside of that hotel are so beautiful. I am a sucker for an old building with upgrades and modern twists. I will definitely be back soon!

Would say that this is the rudest bar staff I have ever encountered, but that would be unfair, because it was actually only the second rudest bar staff I have ever encountered.

We went with a group of 4 people at 4:00 pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too crowded at that time. Great views, lots of seating. The bartenders were super nice. They don't have too many options for cocktails on their menu. I tried the Feelin' Frisky ($12), Rock, Paper, Saler's ($13), and the (Your Name Here) ($13). I liked the first two, but wasn't a huge fan of the last. They definitely need to have food up there - at the very least, they need some snacks. It was really fun though and we'll definitely be back!

Ambiance: unbeatable. Like who doesn't love a rooftop bar that overlooks the beautiful city. And seating is super cute (limited when it gets busy, and sometimes people aren't friendly enough to share their tables). Their drinks are overpriced for what you get and not super strong so I wouldn't say come here to get drunk with your friends...it's more so for the view if you're wanting some Instagram photos. But don't let the subpar reviews deter you from going. It's definitely worth a visit!!

What a cool spot! I wish we had a place like this back home. This place was recommend by a friend that lives here in Atlanta. It cost $15 per person just to go up. They have a few carnival games and mini gold and food and drinks. It's definitely worth it. They also have a restaurant up here called 9 mile station.

The Rooftop at Hotel Clermont is pretty cool. There are some other cool rooftops with similar views in the vicinity, such as those at New Realm Brewing and Ponce City Market, so I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come here. However, if you happen to be staying at the hotel (https://www.yelp.com/biz/hotel-clermont-atlanta-3), eating at its excellent restaurant downstairs, Tiny Lou's (https://www.yelp.com/biz/tiny-lous-atlanta), or visiting the world-famous Clermont Lounge in the basement (https://www.yelp.com/biz/clermont-lounge-atlanta), the Rooftop is definitely worth a visit. The best thing about it: there's no cover/admission charge.The Rooftop is newly renovated and looks nice. It opened in June 2018 alongside the restored hotel which had been inactive since 2009. You can access the Rooftop from an elevator in the hotel lobby. As soon as we stepped out of the elevator, the Rooftop immediately reminded me of a couple other rooftop/bars I've been to in some hipster-friendly cities: Bar 96 in Austin (https://www.yelp.com/biz/bar-96-austin) and Paradise Park Trailer Resort in Nashville (https://www.yelp.com/biz/paradise-park-trailer-resort-nashville). It's probably no coincidence that Oliver Hospitality, the owner of Hotel Clermont since 2012 and the company responsible for restoring this property, is based in Nashville. The Rooftop looks a lot like a bar you might find there.Like the aforementioned bars, the Rooftop has a fun, lively atmosphere sporting a cabana-style bar with TVs, music, food, and lots of artificial turf with a variety of lawn furniture (loungers, tables and chairs) and games like giant Jenga. The views of Ponce De Leon Ave below and the surrounding Poncey-Highland and Virginia-Highland neighborhoods are great. The best views are off the western edge of the Rooftop -- the Downtown and Midtown Atlanta skylines make great backdrops for photos. The highlight is perhaps the iconic and retro Hotel Clermont sign which towers above and illuminates the Rooftop in neon red at night.Service was great and we felt welcomed by everyone at the hotel including other guests.
