Vantage Rooftop Bar

Vantage Rooftop Bar is a stylish climate-controlled rooftop retreat on the top floor of The Karol Hotel, a Tribute Portfolio property at 2675 Ulmerton Rd in Clearwater, Florida. Twelve stories above the surrounding landscape, the bar offers a striking panorama of Tampa Bay and the city skyline, complemented by chic neon-lit interiors and a vibrant social atmosphere. The cocktail menu showcases artisan creations — such as the Elegant Refresher with Wheatley vodka, elderflower, lime, basil, and cucumber — alongside local craft beers and wines. The food menu features elevated bar bites including warm pretzel bites, smoked chicken wings, and Asian-style barbecue short ribs. Open Monday through Sunday with extended Friday and Saturday hours, Vantage operates without reservations, rewarding early arrivals with prime seats and stunning sunset views over the bay.
