The sunset views from Perspective Rooftop bar was amazing and worth the stop for a cocktail. My Martini wasn't the best, but the Rooftop views made up and made it a fun stop.

Great view, but the bar staff have not been great on my visits and have overcharged me each time. Even when there are four men behind the bar (and it seem to be the men who are the worst offenders), and no one else is waiting to be served, they tend to ignore anyone at the bar for a long time, and when they got around to serving me last time, they were somewhat surly and placed my drink so far away I had to stretch over the bar to get it. And later, there was some very public feuding between bar staff, done loudly and in front of all the customers. I know everyone has been through a lot this past two years, so I can only hope that all the staff here find peace in their lives and appreciation for their jobs. I would not wish anyone to be miserable every day. And if poor management or poor pay is the cause of their apparent unhappiness, I hope someone does something to fix that. Regarding the overcharging ... This bar has a Happy Hour from 5 to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. But they have NEVER given me the happy hour prices until I questioned the bill. Then they acted like they forgot it was Happy Hour. This has happened to me on three separate occasions. And this Friday (08/12/22), I mentioned it to another customer and, when she questioned her bill, they reluctantly admitted they had done it to her, too. So it does not look like it is an "accident." Plus, they like to keep any change without asking you. My bill was $7.50 (should have been $5 during Happy Hour) but they only returned $12 to me from a $20. I tend to leave any change along with a regular tip, but it's a bit cheeky to assume that. But they have finally put up some shade on the roof, which is a huge improvement and very necessary. Until recently, it was impossible to use this bar on a hot, or even mildly sunny, day, which is 99% of the year.

Great views. Solid drinks. Appetizers are steep for the portions. Next time we’ll double down on the drinks and skip the snacks.

Drinks were pretty good and location was nice. However, appetizers were small for price. We had shrimp cocktail ($10 for three shrimp) and 1 crab cake ($18 for 3” crab ball). In all we spent $58 for two drinks and two appetizers, plus gratuity. Portions could be better for the money.

Yes. Long as you spend money at bar
All staff is wearing mask, but once you get in, no mask is required since most likely you will be having a drink
