This newly constructed cornerstone of the revitalization initiative throughout the city of Oswego offers a luxurious and vibrant space to unwind, while offering panoramic views and world-famous sunsets.
Patrons can experience intimate indoor dining and unique outdoor terraces, while enjoying specialty cocktails, craft beers, small plates, charcuterie boards and decadent desserts.

“The Rooftop Lounge is an awesome addition to downtown providing a fresh and unique experience unlike anything we’ve had before in Oswego,” said Mayor William J. Barlow. “While visiting The Rooftop Lounge, you have awesome views of the city, a wonderful drink list and great food in a setting that you typically find in bigger cities.”

“I expect The Rooftop Lounge, in time, to bring many more people downtown and be a draw for people from around the county and beyond because it is such a different option,” Mayor Barlow added.

Currently, The Rooftop Lounge is welcoming guests for “soft opening” nights Thursday through Saturday from 4 to 10 p.m., with the focus to expand to Monday through Saturday dining options in the near future. A full opening is expected to take place soon.

As the menu focuses on small plate dining, The Rooftop Lounge encourages patrons to explore all that the downtown dining scene in Oswego truly has to offer. They can start off with a charcuterie board and appetizer before visiting one of the neighboring establishments for their entrée. Or, vice versa, grab their meal elsewhere and then end their night with a crafted cocktail and a delicious dessert, sourced by local businesses including Chelle’s Bakeshop and Man in the Moon, all while overlooking Oswego’s lit up cityside or tranquil riverside from the Rooftop’s terrace views.

Adding to The Rooftop Lounge experience is the inclusion of Oswego’s ever-expanding lineup of musicians featured every Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. including a variety of solo and duo acoustic acts, experienced jazz performers and even soothing pianists entertaining diners throughout the evening.

Two outdoor terrace areas sandwiched between an elegant indoor dining space, which offers panoramic views of downtown Oswego.

Reservations for The Rooftop Lounge can be made online at TheRooftopLounge.com. It’s located at 189 W. First St.
