“Amazing Birthday Experience at Highwater Rooftop! Me and a friend hosted a joint birthday celebration at Highwater Rooftop, and it was a great experience from start to finish. Chris, the owner, was super accommodating and great to work with—he made the planning process easy and stress-free. The venue itself was great and the two floors were spacious and easily accommodated 100+ guests.The DJ was awesome too. Highly recommend Highwater Rooftop to host an event :)”
