Nice view of city. Grown-up, adult crowd! Good drinks! Service and food, average. Jerk chicken wings were TOO salty but the artichoke dip and chips were excellent! Bartenders not that friendly or warm. They were also too slow to deliver drinks when there was no crowd. The space is small to medium and just enough to do your after work mix and mingle. Not as diverse as I would like it to be, but it met my needs for happy hour on a Friday evening! Would visit again for artichoke dip and grown up company! City view is ABSOLUTELY beautiful at sunset!! read more

Rooftop Lounge - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I was excited to visit this rooftop bar after reading the reviews. I found the view to be disappointing, the service and drinks to be mediocre. Frankly, I spend a lot of time in Columbia on business, and many of the street-level restaurants and bars have much better views, service, and array if beverages. read more

Love this bar so much!! Got served right away! Was treated as if I was their highest star guest. Will definitely be returning here with family and friends. They will need to drag me out of this rooftop bar so help me god. read more

Some of the best views of Columbia are right here. On busy nights, the service can be a little slow, but good company, good drinks, and great views certainly make up for it. read more

Rooftop Sheraton provided the most spectacular service! As students, we will definitely be back soon! I loved the ambiance and the entire attitude of the staff as a whole. Will for sure be returning to this fine establishment no matter what. Hell or high water . read more

This place is just sad. Despite the uninviting atmosphere, my friend and I decided to have a drink because we were staying at the Sheraton...big mistake. We ordered what I thought were safe drinks: a gin and tonic and a glass of wine. But my gin and tonic arrived 2/3 full and weak, with flat tonic. My friend's glass of wine? In addition to being way too warm, the bottle had clearly been open for days and the wine was like cooking sherry. If you must come here, the only option is to have a bottled beer--but my advice is to stay away. Save your money and go to Bourbon, just a couple blocks away. read more

if you're looking for an awesome rooftop experience: go somewhere else. in-spite of the accommodating and friendly staff, i was exasperated that..1- they do not serve food, and..2- they doo nottt take cashhh !!!! i think, without a doubt, they are the only establishment in the entire city of columbia that does not take cash !! how un-accommodating. and, again, the staff is excellent -- matter of fact, the staff is so excellent-- they. should. work. somewhere. else. and that is exactly where i will be: some. where else. read more

Went here on a date and I loved the views and drinks. The atmosphere could have been a little nicer, maybe a dj or musician playing some music. The drinks are also a little pricey, but that is to be expected for the novelty of the establishment. I will definitely go again, the location is great. read more

I've been here about three times... and it's always awesome! (Use the elevator to the far left when you enter the Sheraton then go to the 17th floor.) The view is obviously the best thing about Rooftop. Go an hour before the sun starts to set, and enjoy the beauty of Columbia (and yes, it is truly beautiful from up in the sky) while sipping a cocktail or beer. I have heard it gets crowded here occasionally, but I have been lucky when I've been. I've always had good service from the bartenders and a place to sit. The crowd varies here, so you'll probably meet someone new and interesting if you come alone. Great place to bring a date! Beautiful!! read more

Yea, I also love my Cola town and any rooftop... But...it has to have something going on. The only things I like here is the view and that I can enjoy a Cigar. Too much competition around not to be happening. C'mon guys! read more

I went here recently for a Engagement Party. Newly opened, it is certainly a great addition to the Columbia night scene. It offers views of the USC Campus, the Vista, and Finlay Park. It is however a bit on the small side. The staff at the bar were friendly and helpful, and the other hotel employees that I encountered were very pleasant as well. This place is worth checking out. read more

Don't go if you want to eat. Don't go if you want a server to come to a table. Don't go if you're not into people that enjoy pounding 10 drinks in an hour to get shwasted. And then enjoy screaming. I HAVE, however, had okay experiences here on obscure week day nights drinking wine. We sat at the bar on these evenings and the regular bartender is very good. As a young hot thing, I feel comfortable saying that there are two young hot thing servers. But, that do nothing. I don't think they understand that they're in a sales job. All in all, I think it's a waste of an amazing lounge space. They could make a shit ton more money if they just had okay service. Doesn't even have to be good service--just okay would make them 103948031901 times better. read more

This is such a great concept for Columbia. Beautiful view of the city, and a nice little lounge area. If you want a tasty strong drink look for the bartender with a bald head and small beard. Just don't get there too late, if it's not crowded enough they close up early. read more

Not bad! Cute lil place but no music is playing! We wanna get a lil more lively than talking and baseball on the tv... The drinks are great! No servers which kinda blows you have to go to the bar to get your drinks! Lol... Great view of the city! Bartenders are super nice! read more

Had a quick weekend get away and stayed at this hotel. Victoria is amazing! Very patient and kind & a great bartender to take you through the menu. She will definitely make sure that you are happy and that you enjoy your drinks. Will definitely plan another weekend to get back over and experience more of Columbia! read more

My husband and I stayed at the Sheraton last weekend. We enjoyed the hotel but the rooftop bar left me feeling super disappointed. We went up for a late drink (around 11) and before we got off of the elevator, we could hear the music. I'm not an old "fuddy-duddy" by any means but the music was too loud to even think. As we turned the corner, I expected to see a big crowd dancing or something. Nope. About 20-30 people all sitting in small groups trying to chat and having to yell. I thought we should just call it a night but the view was nice so my husband convinced me to have a drink. The prices were high but that was expected. I decided to go with a mojito and he ordered a beer. My mojito was served by a female bartender that didn't smile once. It had no mint in it and tasted like bad tonic water. Since it was so loud, I thought maybe she just couldn't hear me so I asked her if it was a mojito. She looked annoyed, said "yes" and kept on going. I looked at my husband and joked that at least they couldn't screw up a beer. Joke was on us! It was skunky and tasted awful. We paid and left without drinking our drinks. In the end, it all worked out because Bourbon down the street was amazing. read more

Gorgeous view of the city on clear nights. It's the Sheraton so don't expect low drink prices ;)

Went here to join a few friends for some drinks. I enjoyed the laid back atmosphere with more of an older crowd. I was shocked to find more non hotel guests here so this must be a hot spot for the locals. The drinks were reasonably priced and the bartenders nice. The nights I've been there the music has varied from OK to really good so maybe you'll be there on one of the nights the music is REALLY GOOD! I'll be back... read more

Come for the view of the city but not much else. Drinks are limited and are priced as if it were a fine dining establishment in a big city. With some investment, the place could be very swank but until then, it looks as if the hotel put out some lawn chairs on their bare roof, put in a small bar and called it a lounge. read more

I came here the other night with a few of my friends for a much needed night out and this place honestly ruined the night. We sat for about 30 minutes without being even looked at by the bar tender, whom was serving the gentlemen right next to us. When she did finally come over she acted like she didn't want to be there and didn't want to help us at all (I understand that maybe she was having a bad day but COME ON! I have worked in costumer service and had to put on a happy face for customers, it's the least she could have done) read more

The overweight older bartenders ruin the atmosphere. Not a cool "lounge" like they try to make it out to be. Worth the trip to enjoy a drink with a view though read more

Super lame. This "rooftop bar" is tiny with zero atmosphere but the worst part was that I sat down at the bar and asked to see the wine list. I was told that they don't have a wine list. Bartender asked what I was looking for and I told him just a glass of Cabernet. "Sorry but we're out of Cabernet and pino noir". What kind of bar doesn't carry red wine? I ordered a garbage J Lohr Chardonnay and they charged me $11. Seriously, $11 for a low level Chard, This is Columbia, SC, not NYC or Miami. Service was inattentive. read more

I love this place. The view is great, and it offers an experience very unique to Columbia. The staff is friendly and I've always had good service. The environment is the reason I give this place 5 stars, as there is nothing like it anywhere around. read more

Can't think of a bar with a better view of Columbia, but that is about it. Some very rude bartenders. read more

You've taken away the covered chairs. Really? Used to be the best bar in the city. Now they can't get out of their own way. What a waste of a prime location. read more

The rooftop bar is a great location. Unfortunately, it was busy last night. The bartenders were overwhelmed and a bit rude. It took 15 minutes to get our checks. Very disappointing. read more

I am very appalled at this establishment. I waited for 30 minutes to be served and the bartender would not do so much as look our way, even though she was serving patrons right next to us. No wonder why this bar is always so empty. 2/10 would not recommend the trip to this bar. read more

The view is wonderful and sometimes they offer live music. I saw a great band there a couple months ago, and the atmosphere was a lot of fun. The food and drinks are a little overpriced though. read more

I LOVE this place. Cozy atmosphere, even when its a little nippy outside. The heat lamps combined with the company make it a hit in my book. The bartenders are always on point, drinks are fantastic, view is breathtaking, I've been going for years and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. read more

the concept of this bar is Good, as well as service- but depends on if you are guy or girl OR male bartender or female bartender!!! i ve been here many times with many people!! Unfortunatelly, not any more... because of the Management of this business, NOT service or drinks!! whoever manages this place- prolly you know who you are.... Should be shame on yourself!!! You CAN NOT BUY HUMAN!!! DO NOT DEGRADE YOURSELF!! read more
