Fun modern vibe with giant orb light fixtures that reflect in the floor to ceiling windows of this rooftop bar in RiNo making it appear like there’s a giant full moon outside. Impeccably friendly and unobtrusive service with a smile. Crafty cocktail menu and delightful frozen concoctions that change regularly. Marigolds grace the drinks and the flatbread was divine. Small menu with tapas style portions, easy to share and tasty bites. Less options for those who are gluten free. Bouncy lounge music vibe without being so loud that we couldn’t talk in the cozy, comfy semi circular booth. Will be back!
