2 Walnut Creek Rooftop Bars Get Nod From Eater SF

WALNUT CREEK, CA — When you think of rooftop bars, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and New York come to mind. But don't discount Walnut Creek which landed two slots on Eater San Francisco's "7 Extremely Pleasant Bay Area Rooftop Bars."

The publication praised the East Bay for our pleasant weather — especially compared to foggy, breezy San Francisco.

The two Walnut Creek businesses highlighted by EaterSF are Telefèric Barcelona and Rooftop Restaurant & Bar.

Telefèric Barcelona was noted as "an ideal place to grab a gin and tonic, pintxos, or tapas. It’s an offshoot of a popular Barcelona restaurant, bringing flamenco, paella, and more to downtown Walnut Creek."

Find Telefèric Barcelona at 1500 Mt Diablo Blvd. Phone them at 925-300-3826.

Rooftop Restaurant & Bar earned praise for being open regardless of the weather. Heaters for cool weather, water misters to combat the heat, and the roof is retractable when a true winter storm moves through. "The menu has a heavy offering of small plates and share plates, an ideal set-up for the groups of friends that will inevitably flock here," the publication said.

Rooftop Restaurant & Bar is at 1500 Mt Diablo Blvd., #300. Phone them at 925-300-3540.
