The editorial take
LaFontaine's Rooftop Lounge pairs a cocktail program built on freshly crafted drinks with access to a retail store that has served since 1990 and stocks over 300 wines, including local and international picks. Guests can sip wine at the rooftop lounge, and the cocktail list has drawn praise for a strawberry sidecar and an espresso martini. The retail side adds cigars, pipe tobacco, and a deep wine inventory, making the rooftop a dual-purpose stop for a drink or a bottle to take home.
