There’s even more to love about AVA Rooftop Bar.

Photos provided by Sports & Social Cary

Whether craving sunset sips with the girls or Mediterranean bites with the honey, AVA Rooftop Bar has been the place to be since opening last year.

Now, the Fenton locale just got better with a recently-completed expansion atop Sports & Social Cary. Look forward to enjoying:

  • Additional green space
  • A tented area
  • Newly-added restrooms

Pro tip: AVA is the perfect place for a celebratory night out or your next private event (think: birthday, bridal shower, or corporate happy hour).
