Up On A Rooftop

Yes, we ventured over state lines into Mystic (Connecticut) to a rooftop lounge that I’ve been hearing great things about — Mix Rooftop & Bar. It’s from the folks who brought us Sift Bakery and is located directly above them. (Sift also has a doughnut shop called Young Buns in town that you’ll want to visit while you’re in the area.)

First, let me just say that it’s so PRETTY. Plenty of different seating options. Fresh flowers. I even spotted a gas firepit framed by beaucoup chairs.

They offer a selection of small plates in addition to fun-tastic sips and beverages.

As we were approaching the building, the hubs and I could see that there was a line out the door to get inside the bakery and order pastries, breads, and lunch food. (Psssst: Pretty sure Sift has expanded their offerings to include salads, avo toast and much more since I was there last.)

After asking one of the team there, though, we found that we did not have to wait on line in order to patronize the rooftop. (Whewww, what a relief!)

That being said, I highly recommend making a reservation via their site if you want to go because this place is wildly popular.

The bartender went out of her way to mix up some mocktails for us and they were quite yummy. We also met some really nice couples whilst sitting at the bar.

Mix is a delicious spot for thoughtfully crafted cocktails, wine, beer, and light bites. We would totally go back!

And you can always take a nice leisurely stroll thru the village before or afterwards. There are many other terrific businesses and sights in the vicinity to explore.

Find MIX Rooftop & Bar at 5 Water Street in Mystic, Connecticut.
