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.

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.
