    1st time visiting Rise Rooftop for a birthday celebration. Nice venue with great concerts coming up. Max Rios and the Waysiders and the Latín Image opened up for Grupo Negami. Very nice old school bands. Max Rios plays something different from other bands. First time listening to live English songs with an accordion. Latin Image rocked it. Nagami was awesome! Thank you for the birthday tickets won at their last concert in North Shore. Had a great time, would recommend if you don't mind standing or paying $175 for a table of 4 and $20 valet parking. Good tacos sold outside. Lots of bouncers and undercover cops working but everyone behaved. Only 3 stars because there are no free tables or chairs to sit on, not even outside on the patio.

    Yachtley Crew put on an amazing show at RISE! We had 2 VIP tables (the best spot for a show) and Cooper took wonderful care of us! Thanks Cooper! Keanu made sure we had a great time as well, keep us safe going up and down the stairs. We cannot wait to go back! Thanks everyone!!!

    The "ADA section," close to stage but the stanchion didn't blockade very well and it was extremely cramped.

    !!TLDR; Those in need of disability accommodations need to be very aware of their limits to see if this venue is suitable for you!! Extremely mixed opinions on this venue, its layout, and the staff. This show was a bit of an oddball since the venue switched to RISE the day before the show. With that considered, RISE's staff worked extremely quickly and efficiently to accommodate disability needs. However, the layout of the building seemed to attempt to negate their willingness to accommodate. Their disability entrance is questionably accessible, the elevator worked like a charm and seemed just fine. However, the ramp itself was really steep and definitely initially intended for band equipment but works on the side as a quick fix for accessibility in most instances. And by "really steep" it had to be probably about a 35° degree angle if I had to estimate. I, personally, am a fulltime motorized wheelchair user so the angle was certainly a concern. My saving grace, however, was the extremely kind security guard who escorted us both into and out of the venue. He stood behind the wheelchair on both the way up and down, helping push it so it would make it up as well as not tip backward on the way down. Midway through the show, he even threw out some Otter Pops because it was really warm. I never caught your name but you, my sir, are a savior and you are doing absolutely wonderful at your job. Thank you! Side note: He vaguely mentioned that they were looking to better their accessibility, however, I don't know the method they're going about it or when it will be started/completed. Once you get inside and settled, you're put in the "ADA section" which is essentially a 3ish by 6ish foot area blocked off by some stanchions. Unlike your standard accessible section, it is NOT elevated, so likely chance if you're a wheelchair user you will not be able to see. There were seven of us total in that itty bitty corner, there was no chance that if all of us needed to be sitting that seven chairs could fit in that area. Not to mention, it was a sold out show so the stanchions were being pushed and it was definitely a push to hold our ground and not get pushed closer to the wall by the crowd. The security guard(s) stationed by the door (not the guy mentioned earlier) were disappointingly lackluster. The first one attempted to keep people from pushing against the stanchions throughout the first opener, but gave up shortly after. I understand it's a sold out show, but this is your section for a vulnerable population you said you'd be able to accommodate. To conclude, if you need any sort of accommodations, please be extremely aware of what you're going into. I happened to have luck in finding a really great staff member who helped me feel much more safe, but even then, the seating was extremely cramped and I had people pressed against me from the other side of the stanchion and got my fair share of nasty looks from strangers who I asked nicely if they could move.

    Love the vibes here it's a smaller venue, looks like an airplane hangar. 2 story . It was a very hot day the day we went but they had plenty of fans.. so it was fine. It is an indoor venue. Staff was super nice!!

    I went to rise on a Thursday to see Bonnie x Clyde And it was literally the most fun I've had since covid started. All employees were wearing masks but they did say it's up to you if you chose to wear a mask. there's so awesome many places to get cute photos! I cannot wait to go back i met so many friendly cool people & I heard they have an awesome EDM line up for this next month! You have to check out this party spot in Houston

    I cannot praise this place enough. Came here Sunday afternoon to see bunch of metal cover bands. I wasn't expecting too much to be honest, however, the tickets were free..... just sign up and download from the Rise Rooftop website. Well, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, the bands were extremely entertaining and played with passion..... I enjoyed watching them more than some of the big named bands I have seen play recently. Rise Rooftop is a fantastic venue, when it gets dark outside and the light show kicks in. The venue was not that packed, but it was a great atmosphere full of people passionate about music. I have read some negative comments on here about the staff, but my experience was only positive... bar staff and security very friendly. There are small VIP areas with tables which I believe have waitress service which are expensive too book in advance ($100), however, for everyone else drinks are extremely reasonably priced and there are signs up saying that gratuity is included in price. I think the venue frequently has free events on Sunday afternoons. I would urge people to check this place out and support live music.

    I really really love this place!!! It's a great venue for edm shows especially, so as an EDM fan I've already visited 4 times and they were all fantastic experiences. I like that there is a unisex staff and they have all treated me above my typical standards for a club staff. Stevie and the other tall male bartender (I believe his name is Matt) have both made me their newest regular because of how badass they are. Thanks for being awesome Rise Rooftop, keep it up you're doing great :) ***REASONABLY priced drinks***

    We went here last minute because we found out Jon B was in town and doing a concert. I'm an 80s baby so you KNOW i was through the roof when I found out! I'm the biggest Jon B fan! This place was great, we were in the VIP area and it was nice. The crowd and concert was nice! Would definitely recommend!!!

    I was here last Friday 7/30 and the place was packed. I honestly didn't like the way the club it's set up, no dancing "area" no cocktail tables nor chairs. I tried to get a table but they wanted to charge $1000. Service was bad, also be prepared because it charges you a 20% gratuity automatically on every purchase. I was so disappointed I was waiting for a tejano event, too bad I couldn't enjoy it. I had to leave as soon as I walked in.

    Went for Eden Girls Night during Pride. We sat in VIP and it was just ok. Wood benches. Service was okay. Angel was really nice. We had a lot of people in our area and it just was a cluster. DJs were terrible.

    Ask the Community - Rise Rooftop

    Is there any seats for sitting down if one has a General Admission ticket? My wife can't stand for hours.

    Couches by the bar is the only option.

    Is there an automatic 20% gratuity added to each bar sale? Each sale at the bar?

    Yes

    What are bottle prices for the Miguel concert? (Specifically tequilas)?

    Are they open on Sunday's?

    Yes

    Hi! I read that on Saturdays you play mainstream/ top 40 music, does this include Latin music like merengue, reggaetón, etc.?

    I have only been there for live performances. Perhaps try calling them.

    I am 20 will I be able to get in even tho I'm not drinking?

    I feel like it depends on the event. If you look at their website, some flyers for concerts are "All Ages" then if you go out .. like a Friday night (best time) it's 21+

    What's the dress code?

    Relaxed - Casual

    What kind of music do they play on Saturday nights, is it your typical EDM?

    Hi Devon! On Saturday nights we play mainstream, top 40's, hip-hop and some EDM. We do not have local bands here on Saturdays. Hope you will join us soon!

    Does the place have a dress code?

    Dresscode is upscale and trendy. Baggy jeans, athletic wear, basketball shorts, and clothing with offensive print are not acceptable.

    Is there hookahs?

    Yes

    Is this place 18+?

    It's 21+

They host an array of events and activities (some are free, while others are ticketed). Events and activities include live music, DJs, yoga, Zumba, and seasonal events like Winter Wonderlawn during Christmas and Lunar New Year. There are seven gardens which take up about an acre. There's signs throughout the lawn that explain the different gardens and various spaces. Sky Farm is operated by Blackwood Educational Land Institute and they focus on regenerative agriculture and cultivation of food. The Outpost can be rented for events. Yelp Houston has hosted some events at the Outpost in the past. During the summer, it gets very hot! They have quite a few covered/shaded areas and there's vendors throughout if you need water or a beverage. There's lots of seating too (both covered and uncovered). A visit to Post Houston isn't complete without making the trek up to Skylawn! The views alone are worth it!

Thumbs Up: The rooftop lawn and garden are beautiful and provide a relaxing place to enjoy the city skyline. Thumbs Up: Portions of the rooftop are dedicated to gardens that grow fresh produce, adding a unique touch to the space. Neutral: I wasn't able to determine where the harvested produce ultimately goes. I'm sure the information is available somewhere, but I don't recall seeing it during my visits. Thumbs Up: I can actually see my home from the rooftop. Thumbs Up: I've watched a few rooftop concerts from my balcony. Thumbs Up: As an added bonus, it's always entertaining to hear some of my neighbors complain about the "noise pollution" during HOA meetings. Living Downtown comes with unique advantages and occasional inconveniences. If someone can't tolerate city life, they may be happier living in the suburb provinces. Thumbs Down: Access to the rooftop is sometimes restricted during seasonal events and special art installations. I understand the need for ticketed events, but I wish general access to the public spaces could remain available whenever practical. Thumbs Down: I am able-bodied, but I couldn't help noticing that rooftop access appears difficult for visitors who use wheelchairs or have mobility impairments. The elevators are not easy to locate, and several were out of service during my many visits. Improving accessibility would make this space more welcoming for everyone.
