Description

Start summer with a splash! Ring in the first official day of summer at ARA Rooftop & Pool Lounge. Enjoy summer drink specials, pool floats & the best summer jams. Speciality cocktails “It’s a Summer Thing” and “Pool Side”, will leave you refreshed with popsicles included. ARA is both a luxurious pool experience and a stylish rooftop lounge where you’ll find the finest wines, hand-crafted artisanal cocktails, and a delicious menu from famed chef Hugh Acheson. Kick back in a private cabana or enjoy a game of life-size chess, Connect 4, or cornhole. After sundown, the fun, relaxing vibe eases into a cool, hip one. And let’s not forget those panoramic views from the top.
