“What a beautiful spot! 🌺 A little garden above city life. Amazing, flavorful cocktails and super friendly staff! Would be back soon, cheers!”
“Arriba bar, what a spot! Place was on absolute wheels. We were meant to catch an evening flight but the Irish barman was so much fun we couldn’t stop drinking. His dance moves are on another level, @britainsgottalent get onto him!! Waiters and all staff were so friendly. Food was also so good, I got the beef fajitas and my friend got the enchiladas. Both of us then got into a food coma that we ended up falling asleep in the bathroom and staying the night. Couldn’t recommend it enough. 5 stars!”
“I came to visit a friend in this area and he has a dog so I looked up, "dog friendly restaurants near me" and Arriva rooftop came up. I am so glad we decided to come in because the atmosphere is lovely. Today's weather was great so that was a plus. All of the staff went over and beyond. The food and drinks are good too. I defenetly recommend this place.”
“This place is exactly what they say they are. The vibes are nice while you sit on a rooftop and enjoy your food and drinks. Food is good service is better. Would come again.”
“Sat at the bar and enjoyed some great cocktails and bites. The Chicken Tinga Quesadilla was soo good! The staff were all fantastic and I’m loving the upgrades for this summer.”
“Loved the rooftop vibe at Arriba. Our waitress was really friendly and drinks were great but the food kinda was meh. I highly recommend they zest up the elote.”
“WiFi wouldn’t connect immediately but ultimately did.”
“Great view and food was great. Wonderful spot for an outdoor drink and snack.”
“Love the service and atmosphere! Everyone up there was very nice and attentive. Food was sub-par for me. Tuna ceviche was very chunky to the point that it barely stayed on the chip/you could get two veggies or tuna and one veggie in one bite. Tacos were also similarly and very largely cut. Tortillas fell apart instantly from weight. Appreciate the portions for price point but doesn’t allow for the taco to be eaten.. like a taco LOL either double tortilla is highly needed or more diced. Would come back for drinks and rooftop. Pic of leftovers for reference- unfortunately didn’t take pictures while I was there.”
“Service was pleasant and attentive. Rooftop on a summer night was amazing. Prices were high for just average food. They add a 3% COB cost of business surcharge fee which can be removed when requested but they also add a $1.49 Sunday platform fee which isn’t listed on the menu. Gratuity presumptuously starts at 22% when using this Sunday app. Looking at the bill, they charged me 25% gratuity (I selected 22%) for food, the COB fee, and the Sunday platform fee which says to me - I won’t be coming back here.”
