A perfect place to seedowntown Sarasota and the bay out to the Gulf.

The perspective rooftop pool bar at the Art Ovation hotel is a great place to get a yummy tropical drink or some delicious food as well as hang out with friends or solo and enjoy the views, sunshine and sunset. I ordered the fresh fruit bowl and it was delicious with a wide variety of tropical fruits. And the bartender is talented and friendly and gives great service. I highly recommend.

Good place, but last time i was at the bar, they added a tip without approval on my card. Use cash or keep an eye on your charges. Not much but regardless, to do this is unacceptable.

Liam is the best bartender in Sarasota by far. Makes the best drinks and clearly loves what he does! Great food and atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

Amazing place to have party or just go for a night out on the town with yourself or a date. Great views, music and sangria! ❤️

This is the 3rd time I have visited. There has been a horrible smell at the bar, like spoiled milk. I get customer service can be tough, but never made to feel welcome. I will try again.

This place is awesome - but I will say make sure you pregame before you go to the roof top. Drinks are very expensive. But the staff and customer service is great.
It’s truly a shame our experience was subpar (that’s putting nicely). The drinks were terrible…first time ever arriving to a bar that can’t make a simple Shirley Temple (we had a minor with us). The other two alcoholic drinks on the menu we’d rate a 4 and 6. The server was a young lady who, although offered to replace the awful Shirley Temple, still charged us for the drink even after she was told the drink would not be accepted since it was so awful. It’s not the money, it’s the principle.The Rooftop did have a nice view but beware it’s not the tallest building, therefore does not provide the best view of the beaches.Would we return with our other visiting relatives? No. I do not recommend this place.

Bad service; had to get my own drink at the bar. Drinks are way overpriced as well. Crowd at pool seemed to be people not staying at the 4 star hotel I paid to stay at. Hmmm must be open to the public which isn’t fair to guests.

Thieves. DO NOT GO. We ordered 2 bottles of wine and a cheese board. Total was $115. We left and we found out we were charged $151. We believe the servers added themselves tips since the card information was on their device. Awful experience. Do not recommend.

I could give this place one star it's only bc of the view. The shots were super warm, the server was incredibly rude, and the place smelt like VOMIT!! Honestly the view is the only positive!! The rest is TERRIBLE! Drinks are warm!! The elevator smelt like pee!!

Left the Westin rooftop bar because we had the worst Mojito humanly possible. This place is amazing. The bartender Sarah made the most incredible cocktail and Matthew, the other bartender, heard us talking about how bad the Mojito was and he made us one to make up for that! The food is incredible and the service is even better!
