The experience

The night starts at Firefly Roofdeck, a rooftop bar with views across the city skyline. You'll get a welcome cocktail with strong alcohol content to kick things off, then settle in at one of the communal bars or private nooks depending on whether you want to meet other travelers or stay with your group. The bar sits near Rockwell and Powerpant Mall, so it's accessible whether you're staying in the area or coming from elsewhere in the city.

From there, the guide takes you to three more rooftop bars known for their local beer and drink selections. The tour includes bar entrances at each stop, and your guide will lead optional drinking games along the way: winners get a small prize. The pace leaves room for conversation and time to soak in the views, though the focus stays on the nightlife and energy rather than sightseeing.

Around midnight, you'll head to Loosen Up, a house and techno club known for its vibe and crowd. The night ends with a 360-degree view of the city before you leave. A local guide leads the whole experience in English, and participation in games is optional.
