Metropolitan Tavern

Sitting atop the Eastlund Hotel near the convention center, Metropolitan Tavern pairs a modern, casual dining room with an open-air rooftop bar. The kitchen runs from brunch through dinner, though much of the momentum gathers around its happy hour menu, which turns out plates like the Snake River Ranch Wagyu burger and buffalo cauliflower alongside espresso martinis. It functions as a comfortable landing spot for off-site work groups or a drink stop before catching an evening show nearby.
