Rise Rooftop

The nightly firework display at Disneyland is big business in Anaheim and several hotels have rooftops catering to anyone who wants to see pyrotechnics before calling it a night. For that purpose, Rise Lounge is the best of the bunch. Located on top of The Westin, the large space offers unobstructed views of California Adventure, live music, solid bar bites like “loaded” hummus and spicy chicken wings, and a crowd of vacationing parents getting obliterated on red wine. It’s also open daily until 11pm, which is basically after-hours in Anaheim.
