A colorful, casual rooftop for margaritas, Mexican-inspired bites, and a catch-up with friends. The Ready Cantina is especially useful when the occasion matters more than a towering skyline.

Why choose The Ready Cantina?

A retractable glass roof makes it a flexible year-round plan. The weekday happy hour offers a genuinely specific reason to visit early: $12 house margaritas, $6 beers, and $1 tacos.

Know before you book

Pick a taller rooftop for a sweeping postcard panorama. The appeal here is the social setting, food, and a more approachable early-evening bill.

Getting in

Walk-ins are welcome when space allows; reservations open up to 60 days ahead. The venue is 21+, including brunch.

What it costs

Happy hour runs Monday–Friday, 4–7pm. Weekend brunch, noon–3pm, includes a margarita with an eligible brunch entrée; review the current menu and terms.

When the weather changes

A retractable glass ceiling allows the rooftop to operate through the seasons.
