Brews and views at Sugar Hill's The Rooftop
The Rooftop is a bar and music venue born out of Jennifer Silvestro and Jeff Blanchard's passion for entertaining and features an amazing view of The Bowl at Sugar Hill.
ATLANTA - The Rooftop in Sugar Hill:
It’s the hottest hangout in downtown Sugar Hill — a place where the only thing better than the drinks and live music is the incredible view.
We’re talking about The Rooftop, a bar and music venue opened in June 2023 by Jennifer Silvestro and Jeff Blanchard. Silvestro says the space was born out of the couple’s passion for entertaining: "[We] treat it as our living room and patio," she says.
But, let’s be honest, most of us don’t have a living room or patio that overlooks The Bowl at Sugar Hill, the 1,700-seat amphitheater which draws national acts including rock bands Gin Blossoms and Toad the Wet Sprocket (who happen to be playing a show with special guest Vertical Horizon on Saturday night). That means folks sitting at the outdoor counter get a great view of the shows happening below. That said, Silvestro and Blanchard also book their own live music nightly, giving local musicians a place to play.
The Rooftop focuses on beer, wine, and cocktails, but does allow customers to bring in their own food. Nearby Shine Pizza even created a "Rooftop Exclusive" menu, from which guests may order food to be delivered.
The Rooftop is located at 5019 West Broad Street Northeast, Suite M-307, in Sugar Hill, and regular hours of operation are 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Tuesdays through Thursdays and 2 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. For more information on visiting the bar, click here. And check out Instagram for the bar’s weekly lineup of live music.

Girl's flag football programs are booming
The Atlanta Falcons and the Arthur M. Blank Foundation have made it a goal to elevate girl's flag football in Georgia and across the nation, and that hard work is paying off. The Falcons' Amanda Dinkel and flag football player Alexandria Lofton sat down with Alyse Eady to talk about the program.
Amanda Dinkel and Alexandria Lofton talk Atlanta Falcons Girl's Flag Football expansion: In 2017, the Atlanta Falcons initiated a plan to introduce girl's flag football to high schools in Georgia, where no schools offered the sport at the time. They proposed a pilot program to Gwinnett County, the state's largest school district, which launched in fall 2018. By fall 2020, Georgia became one of only four states (joining Alaska, Nevada, and Florida) to officially sanction girls' high school flag football. With the Falcons' support, Alabama has since sanctioned the sport, and its popularity is growing in Montana. From the growth of the game and so much support from Arthur Blank, the NFL continued to push the initiative and now, flag football will be an official Olympic sport in the 2028 LA games.
