Reviews for Perspective Rooftop Pool Bar in Sarasota, FL

The sunset views from Perspective Rooftop bar was amazing and worth the stop for a cocktail. My Martini wasn't the best, but... the Rooftop views made up and made it a fun stop. Read more

Great view, but the bar staff have not been great on my visits and have overcharged me each time. Even when there are four men... behind the bar (and it seem to be the men who are the worst offenders), and no one else is waiting to be served, they tend toignore anyone at the bar for a long time, and when they got around to serving me last time, they were somewhat surly and placedmy drink so far away I had to stretch over the bar to get it. And later, there was some very public feuding between bar staff,done loudly and in front of all the customers. I know everyone has been through a lot this past two years, so I can only hopethat all the staff here find peace in their lives and appreciation for their jobs. I would not wish anyone to be miserable everyday. And if poor management or poor pay is the cause of their apparent unhappiness, I hope someone does something to fixthat. Regarding the overcharging ... This bar has a Happy Hour from 5 to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. But they have NEVERgiven me the happy hour prices until I questioned the bill. Then they acted like they forgot it was Happy Hour. This hashappened to me on three separate occasions. And this Friday (08/12/22), I mentioned it to another customer and, when shequestioned her bill, they reluctantly admitted they had done it to her, too. So it does not look like it is an"accident." Plus, they like to keep any change without asking you. My bill was $7.50 (should have been $5 during Happy Hour)but they only returned $12 to me from a $20. I tend to leave any change along with a regular tip, but it's a bit cheeky toassume that. But they have finally put up some shade on the roof, which is a huge improvement and very necessary. Untilrecently, it was impossible to use this bar on a hot, or even mildly sunny, day, which is 99% of the year. Read more

Hip and trendy. Pricey but unique poolside rooftop bar with decent food available. Be careful on the Sunday we went, they had a... DJ party there sponsored by Absolut. They charged my card with an additional fee and would not return calls about reversing it.Use cash if possible. Read more

Beautiful location! Looking out over the water is so amazing! Our service was excellent at our table! They even gave us a water... bowl for our little dog. When we moved from table to bar, we had a fun,engaged, friendly bartender. His name was Guy. Greatdrinks, great atmosphere and staff! Read more

Great views and rooftop for happy hour which is from 5-7pm. Rooftop also has a pool and cabana seating. Fun and relaxing rooftop... vibes Read more

Great views. Solid drinks. Appetizers are steep for the portions. Next time we?ll double down on the drinks and skip the snacks.

Drinks were pretty good and location was nice. However, appetizers were small for price. We had shrimp cocktail ($10 for three... shrimp) and 1 crab cake ($18 for 3? crab ball). In all we spent $58 for two drinks and two appetizers, plus gratuity. Portionscould be better for the money. Read more

The bar staff are friendly, food and drinks were well made. Cost for a cabana is not worth it unless it?s a crowded day. Felt... like we were trying to rack up a tab we didn?t need to meet the minimum just so we could leave. Don?t get there early or it?s adull vibe. I will absolutely give it a second chance on a more lively night. Read more
