Why We Picked It

On the 27th floor of the JW Marriott Tampa Water Street, Beacon is the highest public rooftop cocktail-and-dining space in Tampa — and the second-highest in Florida — with a cocktail program from an award-winning mixology team and 270-degree views over the downtown skyline and Tampa Bay. Four distinct spaces, including a shaded terrace, make this Tampa's clearest "somewhere impressive" rooftop pick.

MAX Insider Tip — There's a dress code — dress to impress, since athletic wear, t-shirts, baseball hats and flip-flops are turned away at the door.
