A rooftop Restaurant and Bar, set to open in early 2025 and created by the esteemed Grup Confitería, promises to deliver unique culinary and cocktail experiences inspired by the New Memphis style. This space aims to be a vibrant gathering point for both locals and visitors, featuring small plates that celebrate local flavors.
