Source: Indy Star If it seems like people talk a lot about rooftop bars lately, that is because the outdoor spaces have been growing in popularity for the past couple of years. The upsurge is part of that trend where consumers are seeking experiences instead of material things. Elevated imbibing is a chance to sit in the sun and contemplate the possibilities in our ever rising city. Sun King Spirits 351 Monon Blvd., Carmel, (317) 843-6250, sunkingbrewing.com/carmel.html Everyone is gaga over the cutting-edge food hall-style atmosphere. Four food vendors will serve everything from wood-fired pizza to cookie-butter-smeared burgers when the place opens July 2, and you can eat, sip signature Sun King cocktails or grab one of the companys famous beers on a huge deck perched atop the first floor. Txuleta 1011 E. Westfield Blvd., (317) 919-3555, txuletaindy.com The second-story deck over Brugge Brasserie in Broad Ripple is no secret, but this new Basque-style cider house elevates the experience. Txuleta (chew-let-a) serves an impressive dry cider, no fizz. Drink it with a bunch of snacks named pintxos (peen-chos). Sausage, pork belly and quince top thick baguette slices. Another combo puts rib-eye slices, goat cheese and herb almond sauce on bread. Grilled asparagus wearing capers, tomato sauce and a soft boiled egg and seafood-loaded, tomato-based Basque stew are among large plates.  Loco Mexican Restaurant 2205 N. Delaware St. A Tex-Mex menu, 50 tequilas and a monthly rooftop taco party are in the works at this Fall Creek Place spot scheduled to open in June. The ground-floor digs previously hosted LongBranch and 22nd Street Diner, but the four-story building includes a rooftop patio accommodating up to 100 people. That is where the owner plans to host monthly taco parties with margaritas and music all summer long. 3UP 201 Main St., Carmel, 3uprooftop.com When it opens in late summer, 3UP will serve craft cocktails and sharable plates. You will sit on comfy couches and at communal tables surrounded by potted herbs for bartenders and cooks to use in creative drinks and noshes. Fire pits are planned, but about 60 percent of the patio will be covered. Heaters will warm the space in cooler months. 3UP overlooks a plaza below where live music is planned.  Rooftop Garden Cocktail Lounge 105 Prospect St., (317) 686-6010, fountainsquareindy.com When it comes to true rooftop spots, this appears to be Indys only one for now. The Fountain Square bar, offering a snacks and thin-crust pizza menu, crowns the landmark Fountain Square Theatre building. Check the mules list. It includes a classic Moscow Mule, a mezcal mule and a bourbon mule. The view stretches down Virginia Avenue to the Downtown Indy skyline. Livery 720 N. College Ave., (317) 383-0330,livery-restaurant.com Order every empanada -- chefs make six varieties from scratch -- and kick back with a rose sangria on the cushy rooftop deck. The building was a livery stable back in the 1800s. Arched windows on the red brick wall flanking the deck is a charming reminder of days past. Latin American food and frosty drinks keep you living in the moment.  Stixx Social Room & Asian Grill 361 Indiana Ave., (317) 220-8755, stixxcigarbar.com A deck wraps around the top floor of this two-story restaurant and cigar bar. It is a sweet place to puff a Macanudo with a bourbon on the side. The cigar list is 41 selections long. Nibble sushi rolls, lemongrass pork buns and Vietnamese summer rolls. The $5 sushi special runs noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday. Thursdays on the Roof 211 N. Pennsylvania St., (317) 348-0006,thursdaysontheroof.com Networking, cocktails and dancing happen each spring and summer Thursday on the huge patio five floors up Downtownss Regions tower.

The earlier you arrive, the less you pay. Admission is free 5:30 to 7 p.m.; $5 from 7 to 8 p.m.; and $10 after 8 p.m. Chef JJ's 42 W. South St., (317) 602-3828,chefjjs.com If you want to hit the rooftop garden terrace, you will have to book one of the many private events at No. 1 place in Indy to learn about cooking on kamado grills such as the Big Green Egg. Classes and dinners sell out quickly for good reason. The food is so delicious you may not notice the view of Lucas Oil Stadium.  Platt 99 333 S. Delaware St., (317) 624-8200,thealexander.com/dining/plat-99-mixology-lounge/ Couches and artsy chairs by tables for two furnish the deck hugging this bar designed by internationally acclaimed artist Jorge Pardo.

Do You Know Someone Looking To Buy or Sell? |
|
It is a common misconception that a real estate agent primarily learns of someone looking to buy or sell a home when someone simply calls an agency looking for an agent to help them. Although this can happen, it is very rare. In fact, over 80% of the referrals I receive come from past clients and past coworkers just like you. The other 15-20% of referrals comes from our national network of relocation companies and other Coldwell Banker agencies across the country. The greatest compliment I can receive is when someone like you refers me to a friend, coworker or family member of theirs. If you, or someone you know, are looking to either buy or sell a home then I would certainly appreciate the opportunity to earn your business. Do you know of someone looking to buy or sell a home?  |

We are sustaining members for the following organizations and encourage each of you to donate in any way you can to a cause that you are passionate about too.
