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.

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.
