About this space

Rooftop Bar is a rooftop at The Pony that extends the venue's sports-bar character into an open-air, wood-accented setting.

Design: The rooftop combines wood-paneled walls and a timber floor with skylights and high windows that bring strong natural light. The layout runs along a linear bar area framed by high stools and standing spaces, finished with industrial pendant lights.

Features: The rooftop includes a full-service bar with draft taps and a visible backbar, multiple wall-mounted TVs, and a built-in PA and speaker system. The space provides Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, the option to play your own music, and standard bar-menu service.

Ideal for: Sports fans and casual groups seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or informal seated drinks.

What guests say: The bar's food and drinks receive positive mention in reviews. The staff's service is often described as efficient.
