The rooftop bar provides views of Howard's Knob, Appalachian State, and downtown Boone. The bar serves craft cocktails, beer, and wine. The original photo that inspired the hotel logo is behind the front desk. The rooftop bar is open seasonally, weather permitting, and closes from November to April. During closure, guests can take drinks from the Lounge Bar to the rooftop seating area.
