Truist Field Rooftop Bar
A craft cocktail room on Bland Street for the Design District crowd looking to slow the night down.
The room
Inside Truist Field Rooftop Bar
Truist Field Rooftop Bar on Bland Street is a craft cocktail room built for the after-dinner crowd rather than the first stop of the night. The room favors low light and a bar program that's actually thought through, which separates it from the breweries and patios that dominate the rest of Design District.
It's a date-night closer, a place to catch up with one friend rather than corral six, and a decent option when the rail trail crowd feels like too much noise. Expect it to fill later than the breweries around it and stay comfortable well past when they've cleared out.
