The luxe rooftop bar and restaurant is located atop The Interlock development in West Midtown Atlanta.
Rooftop L.O.A. Opens In West Midtown
The eatery’s name, Rooftop L.O.A., stands for Leave of Absence, and is a nod to the carefree environment that will put you in the mind of a getaway when you visit.
“It’s even more than we imagined it would be,” Slater Hospitality Co-Founder + Chief Creative Officer, Mandy Slater, said in the news release, referring to the opening of Rooftop L.O.A. “It’s a joy seeing people on the rooftop – swimming in the Pool, enjoying a spritz under the sun, ordering caviar with their friends in a cabana, and beaming at the sunsets from the Grove terrace. Guests are really soaking it up and immersing themselves in everything L.O.A. offers.”
The establishment takes up 38,000-square feet and is a full-service restaurant complete with rooftop pool bar with cabanas, lounge and more.
The Grove
One of the main features is the Grove, a garden-inspired outdoor bar and 150-person covered event pavilion. The secluded space’s pavilion is great for private events and more. The Grove opens at 5 p.m. every day.
The Pool
Another top amenity of Rooftop L.O.A. is the pool. Complete a cabana, lounge chairs and stadium, the pool is the perfect place to beat the heat in Atlanta.
Pool hours are as follows:
- Sunday – Wednesday | 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
- Thursday – Saturday | 11 a.m. – 12 a.m. or later.
“The Pool at Rooftop L.O.A. is a huge part of what makes this concept unique to Atlanta,” said Slater Hospitality Founder + CCO, Mandy Slater. “A pool that is detached from a hotel or a residence creates a special offering that doesn’t exist currently. We can’t wait to welcome guests and offer a truly world-class experience – a slice of paradise where guests can escape, unwind, be taken care of, and detach from the day-to-day.”
The Pool and indoor pool bar accommodate more 200 people with sun loungers and private cabanas, food and beverage service, and a rotation of events and programming.
What’s On The Menu At Rooftop L.O.A.?
The menu is executed by Chef Joseph Trevino, and will feature coastal European cuisine with open-fire cooking for dinner, brunch, and late-night bites.
Among the tasty delights are foie gras bratwurst and shrimp tacos, plus an ancient grains bowl. And the venue has a unique twist on popsicles — “Whim-sicles,” which can come with mango paleta, Pina Colada with dark chocolate and the Blueberry gel squeeze shot.
There is also a brunch menu available at the pool on Saturday and Sunday. Brunch menu items include a French pastry selection and Gougere Benedict with prosciutto cotto and hollandaise, and plenty more.
