Rooftop dining and the High Five pool bar

- Pool access: documented pool hours on some sources begin at 11:00 AM daily for general access; hotel sources also list earlier rooftop access for guests—check current policies on arrival
- Age policy: day (non-hotel) guests must be 21 or older to use the rooftop pool
| Area | Typical hours |
|---|---|
| Pool | Daily; many sources list 11:00 AM–7:00 PM (seasonal/weather permitting) |

Practical tips: when to reserve, bring kids, and timing your meals
Reservations are recommended for Brutto Americano (especially weekend brunch/dinner) and Seaworthy for dinner. The Lobby Bar and All Good are walk-in friendly, though live music can make the lobby area busy in evenings.
The Barnett welcomes children of all ages at its restaurants; up to two children age 17 or younger stay free in a parent's room using existing bedding, though the primary check-in guest must be 21 or older.
- If you want quieter dining: visit The Lobby Bar before 4:00 PM or All Good early in the morning
- Happy hour window (4:00–6:00 PM) is when both Seaworthy and The Lobby Bar run specials—good for oyster and cocktail deals
- Check the hotel’s online pages or call ahead for rooftop availability, private dining rooms, or event-related closures
| Need | Action |
|---|---|
| Weekend brunch at Brutto | Reserve in advance |
| Oyster happy hour | Arrive 4:00–6:00 PM for Seaworthy specials |
| Rooftop on holidays or peak season | Confirm hours/availability before you go |
