Rooftop dining in Connecticut is fun, but when the weather starts to cool down, it can get quite chilly in New England! Especially on a windy fall or winter night, being up on top of a building doesn’t sound particularly appealing when you’re trying to enjoy a meal. Fortunately, there’s a solution: rooftop igloo dining in Connecticut. You can do just that on cool nights at the luxurious Sign of the Whale’s rooftop bar. The igloos are private and present a perfectly cozy opportunity to cuddle up with your loved ones and enjoy a secluded meal.
Sign of the Whale is a gastropub in Stamford located just a block or so away from Long Island Sound. It’s got a full-service rooftop bar and has a classy ambiance that still manages to be comfortable and fun.
