About Loft

Runner up 2026 in “Best Outdoor Drinking (Summer)”. Punching far above its weight, The Loft Hostel and Bar came up again and again during our panel discussions. For best outdoor drinking, the combination of a stunner of a view, a central location that might allow some sunshine drinking to move onto other social affairs, and a nice blend of happy hour features, combined to push this sometimes overlooked spot into our best-of list in yet another category. “Simply fantastic view,” is the dominant thought from our panel.
