2nd Highest Rooftop Bar In Florida Will Open In Tampa
Tampa, Florida, USA downtown skyline on the Hillsborough River.
Want to check out an amazing new rooftop bar in Tampa? This place is slated to be the second highest rooftop bar in the state of Florida.
We are moving on up to the top in Tampa. The JW Marriott Tampa Water Street will be hosting their grand opening of Beacon. Rather than a beacon of light, it’s a beacon of height, coming in as the second highest rooftop bar in Florida.
JW Marriott Tampa Water Street is located at 510 Water St. in downtown Tampa. Have you checked out the JW Marriott? It opened in December of 2020. They have a beautiful bar and restaurant area in the downstairs lobby already. Can’t wait to see the rooftop bar!
Ron McAnaugh is general manager at JW Marriott Tampa Water Street. He said, “Beacon represents the culmination of our commitment to providing extraordinary experiences for locals and visitors alike. We are excited to unveil this captivating rooftop lounge, where visitors will be able to soak in the energy of Tampa’s buzzing Water Street neighborhood from above.”
When you arrive at the JW Marriott, you will be able to get your guest parking validated for three hours, as long as it’s not an “event night.” Beacon is located on the 27th floor of the luxury hotel. It will be amazing to take in the view from every angle, enjoying our gorgeous city before or after sundown. Beacon will open every day at 5:00 P.M. Just in time for happy hour.
Speaking of happy hour, I’ve got my eye on their Zalamero cocktail made with Tequila and Galliano Espresso liqueur. Cheers! Will you be checking out Beacon when it opens?
