Go to Las Vegas and you have your choice of rooftop lounges. Cleveland, not so much. But thanks to the folks at the swanky new hotel the 9, Clevelanders will have a new rooftop bar from which to party. Today, the 8,500 square feet Azure opens. it immediately can lay claim to the title of "the largest rooftop bar in downtown. Azure offers "modern design, entertainment, and handcrafted cocktails and cuisine." "Azure is the final piece of [The 9's] puzzle," says Keith Halfmann, COO of Geis Hospitality Group, in a press release. "Azure provides an oasis above the city for guests to go into 'vacation mode,' no matter if it's a Monday or a Saturday." He promises "weekday happy hours, themed events, live music and even 'Sunday-Funday' parties for guests to see, and be seen." (Niesel)
