Vantage Rooftop Bar | The Karol Hotel
2675 Ulmerton Rd, Clearwater, FL
Vantage crowns the twelfth floor of The Karol Hotel on Ulmerton Road in Clearwater, an upscale rooftop bar with climate-controlled indoor seating and an open terrace overlooking the Feather Sound area toward Tampa Bay. The program runs artisan cocktails, local craft beer and wine with a tapas menu of small plates like shrimp cocktail and charcuterie.
A smart-casual dress code sets the room apart from beach-bar Clearwater, making it the polished end of a Pinellas ride. The bay-side location off I-275 works as a sunset stop between St. Petersburg and the Courtney Campbell Causeway.
