Sol 7

"Open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., the Thompson Hotel’s rooftop bar offers some of the best views and the best steak frites in the city. Head up to the 11th floor on the elevator, pass the all-white library, and grab a drink at the bar, which features an array of wines, beers, seltzers, and classic and signature cocktails, including the Snake Bite, a combination of Balcones Texas Rye, Nixta Elote liqueur hot honey, and chili bitters. Take your drink of choice out onto the terrace, and if you work up an appetite, order something from the food menu, which features more casual bites like sandwiches, salads, and smash burgers, and more elegant offerings like oysters, crab cakes, and herb-crusted salmon. Hotel guests get access to the pool area and can also reserve some of its swanky cabanas, one of which comes equipped with a TV." - Brittany Britto Garley

Reservations are encouraged." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Sol 7 brings all-day dining to the luxe Thompson Hotel’s seventh-floor pool deck. As the first of three restaurants to be open at the Thompson, the restaurant offers an approachable menu from executive chef-partner Alexandre Viriot, a Texas native. Dishes like the greens and grains bowl, Maine lobster roll, and the wagyu smash burger are popular during lunch and are best enjoyed on the restaurant’s covered patio, where views of the Downtown skyline are front and center." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Head to the new Thompson Hotel’s 7th-floor bar and restaurant, Sol 7, to experience one of the city’s largest outdoor rooftops and pools. Visitors can lounge on the surrounding cabanas and pool beds or wander around the 2,500-square-foot greenspace that surrounds the custom-tiled infinity pool when not taking a dip. If in search of a refreshing cocktail, try the Act I, made with tequila, aloe liqueur, watermelon, hibiscus, and lime, for a refreshing cocktail. Kick it up a notch with the Snake Bite, made with Balcones Texas Rye, elote liqueur, hot honey, and chili bitters." - Brittany Britto Garley
