It seems Topside, a brand new rooftop bar crowning the also-new 107-room Hotel Revival in Mount Vernon, timed its soft opening just right to coincide with the warm-weather kickoff of spring. Starting at 5 p.m. today, the new spot, billed as a “seafood-centric, elevated beer hall,” will be pouring drinks for all who journey up to the 14th floor for the view.
Thereafter, Topside will be open 5-10 p.m. Mondays, 5-11 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays and 5 p.m.-midnight Thursday through Saturday. Starting April 22, brunch will also be served Sundays from 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., and the bar will reopen from 5-9 p.m. for the evening.

In addition to Topside, the roof now holds a creative American eatery dubbed Square Meal.
