Rory's Rooftop is the top-floor bar at Puttery, a mini golf venue with two courses, the Lodge and the Museum. Craft cocktails come with a skyline view behind them. The bars pour margaritas, espresso martinis and a house old fashioned, with non-alcoholic cocktails on the menu too. The underground bar feels more personal and intimate, which suits a quieter drink afterward.

5/5 stars. Been a great experience so far and the onboarding was made fun with the AI agent who could hold an actual conversation with me. Opposite of other dating apps where I’m filling out forms.
