Savvy planners know that when an event's finished for the day, important networking and valued connections are made during social, casual, pre-dinner mixers. Even as COVID-19 abates, eventgoers continue to be keen on social distancing and fresh air-infused event space. For sweeping vistas, dramatic cityscapes and setups that encourage flow, it’s hard to beat the top floor. Here are 15 rooftop venues across the United States to consider for your next alfresco gathering.
A note regarding COVID-19: Some of the venues listed here may not yet be available for hosting events due to COVID-19, or they may be operating at a lower capacity. As venues begin to slowly reopen across North America, we encourage event organizers to contact the venues to verify current capacity restrictions.
