"On the 13th floor of The Line SF hotel in Union Square, Rise Over Run is an ideal hideout for when the afternoon wind and fog rolls in. The rooftop includes a sophisticated greenhouse-like atrium that’s full of velvet seats, plants, and downtown views. Fire pits, heaters, and blankets are on hand if you do decide to brave the cold and plop down on a cushioned lounge chair on the lush deck outside. The cocktails and wine are reasonably priced, and the snacks, like the spicy tuna tostada, are passable though not all that interesting—but pay no mind. You’re here to sip and stare too long at the city." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"Slip into sleek rooftop bar Rise Over Run, which offers views of the San Francisco skyline, for a post-work drink and a bite. Cocktails like Szechuan daiquiris and granny apple martinis or beer-and-a-shot combos clock in at $10; wine at $8, and beer at $5. Snacks include pork belly with black vinegar caramel ($17), a hot chicken sandwich ($14), and more. Hours: Monday 4 to 10 p.m.; Tuesday through Thursday, 4 to 5 p.m." - Flora Tsapovsky
"Hotels typically have plenty of space to rent out for conferences, private events, and more, but few (if any!) can boast the unique private dining option of a solarium on a roof. Enter Rise Over Run, which features clear windows for diners to soak up the sun over cocktails and bites before it changes into a nighttime jewel box with glittering city lights below. For more information, head to the events page." - Dianne de Guzman
"Open a rooftop bar in this town, and you better be prepared to protect your patrons from the Three Horsemen of roof-pocalypse (Damp, Wind, and Mist). Rise Over Run on top of The Line hotel near Union Square sure is prepared to protect. The rooftop patio is what you might expect from a new rooftop patio in 2023, with safe design choices, like basket lamps, lots of plants, and plenty of concrete. But wait—perfectly folded wool blankets sit atop the cushioned chairs and benches, like fabric soldiers at the ready. What this means for you is less time focusing on the ominous fog bank approaching from the west, and more time drinking gin-strawberry cocktails out of a Capri Sun plastic pouch around the fire pit.

"Rise Over Run at the LINE Hotel is a finalist in the Best U.S. Hotel Bar category of the Spirited Awards Regional Top 10 Honorees." - Paolo Bicchieri
