Vantage Rooftop Bar

Vantage Rooftop Bar is an elevated cocktail lounge on the 12th floor of The Karol Hotel with climate-controlled indoor spaces and large sliding glass doors that open to reveal panoramic views of Tampa Bay and the downtown skyline. The venue also serves seafood plates featuring Maine lobster.

The lounge is part of Clearwater's hospitality development within the Tampa Bay region and reflects the area's growth as a destination. It contributes to the region's reputation for upscale dining and entertainment options.

The bar focuses on craft cocktails made with local ingredients from the Tampa Bay region, supporting regional producers in the process. These drinks reflect the flavors and traditions of the area.

The best time to visit is late afternoon or early evening when the sun sets and views are especially striking. It is advisable to arrive early since seating is offered on a first-come, first-served basis without reservation.

The bar features signature cocktails like the Karol Bliss made with muddled raspberries and elderflower liqueur, a house specialty found nowhere else. The pairing of craft drinks with gourmet seafood at this height creates a distinctive experience.
