Picture this: you’re on the 6th floor of your swanky high-rise, sipping on your favorite cocktail, and basking in the panoramic view of the city. Sounds like the perfect evening, right? Well, my dear readers, let me regale you with a tale of highs and lows at this lofty libation location.
The ambiance up on the 6th floor is nothing short of mesmerizing, but alas, the libations failed to reach the same soaring heights. The drinks were, shall we say, lacking that “oomph” factor, and the food? Well, let’s just call it mediocre at best. But hey, it’s convenient, they said. However, the convenience comes with a price tag that might just make your wallet cringe.
Now, before you think I’m just another critic, let’s give credit where it’s due. The staff 
behind the bar, friendly, attentive, and nice as pie. But when it comes to the bar’s food safety, that’s where our adventure takes a slightly questionable twist. Brace yourself and click the link to watch a video exposing live roaches in the vicinity of your culinary delights! I know, not the kind of extra protein you were looking for, right?
But wait, there’s more. Click that other link to see the inspection report and, trust me, it’s not exactly a page-turner.
The bottom line, my friends, is that this high-rise hangout might not have been the ideal setup for such a gastronomic endeavor. Sure, the owners had a license, but as it turns out, the food and beverage license is for CU-4 not the entire building. There is an open application for food for the building, we’ll follow the progress of that.
But fear not, dear residents, for there’s a silver lining! There’s a restaurant right in the building. Imagine a world where food runners dash to and fro, taking your orders and serving drinks. This way, your precious morsels and libations are prepared in a safe and licensed area. And hey, who knows, maybe they’ll throw in a nice discount for the loyal patrons.
Now, just in case you’re curious, an independent third-party assessment was done to explore the feasibility of providing both food and bar service. The verdict? The cost and liability were enough to make anyone think twice.
And speaking of hidden treasures, the patio and bar area actually belong to us, the residents. We’re the ones who foot the bill for the grill, the locked fridge, and even the hidden water in the fridge that we can’t always access.
There’s also a TV, though let’s be honest, we can’t quite see or hear it properly, but there’s a TV!!!
By the way, those grills upstairs? Absolutely awesome. They use 220 volts, meaning you can crank up the heat and sear a steak to perfection. Got a couple of juicy steaks you’re itching to grill tonight? It’s simple – reach out to Property Management, leave a $1,000 deposit ($200 is non-refundable), wait three days, and in no time, you’re grilling your way to steak nirvana, all within the cozy confines of your lofty abode. Or you can just go to Houstons I guess. But we have grills!!! Watch you for a calendar invite for selfie with the grill day! Don’t wear white, their starting to rust.
So there you have it, dear readers, a tale of rooftop highs, foodie woes, and a sizzling solution for all your steak-grilling dreams. Cheers to high-rise adventures that are nothing short of electrifying!
