Correct me if I'm wrong, but aside from the Standard in LA, there haven't really been many rooftop pools with a bar and lounge in the area. I'm sure Vegas and New York have more than a few. But in the vicinity of OC and Long Beach, AVIA's Rooftop 360° might be the first (again, correct me if I'm wrong). It will debut this Friday, March 18. To get in, you must be 21 or over, and you have to pay a $10 cover to receive a wristband.
What will you do once you're there? Well, drink of course. They've got a full bar and what promises to be the main attraction: a nice view of the harbor surrounding a glowing-blue pool. Those still peckish can nosh on a simple menu that includes a flat-iron steak sandwich with fries for $11.
