What people say, in short
Commenters recommend Overstory for drinks and city views, with particular praise for the outdoor terrace in warm weather. One visitor considers it harder to enter than a competing rooftop bar. Indoor visits split opinion: one patron finds the limited windows disappointing and would skip it in cold weather, while another says the drinks alone justify going even without using the terrace.
