"Come for the views and stay for the cocktails. Level7, located atop North Raleigh’s AC Hotel, offers one of the best rooftop drinks scenes in the city. Cocktails are mostly plays on classics and include a grapefruit spritz (Dixie vodka, St. Germain, aperol, grapefruit soda), a smoked Manhattan (Redemption rye, Lustau vermouth, Angostura bitters, Bordeaux cherry), and a signature gin and tonic (Hendrick’s, Fever-Tree tonic, cucumber, and star anise). A menu of small plates complements the cocktail list." - Matt Lardie
