Up and Down, But Finally Back on Top!
CEBADA TAKES THE LEAD IN ITS ELEVATOR RIVALRY
Enjoy Signature Cocktails At The Rooftop Outdoor Bar, Courtesy Of A Now-Working Elevator
Elevator: 1, Cebada: 2. That’s the score now, as beloved rooftop bar Cebada has finally reopened after a four-month hiatus and years of elevator malfunctions. But the saga may not have reached a happy ending just yet, as owner Jorgie Ramos cautions. Ramos says he expects “around four months” of functionality but remains worried about long-term use of the elevator, especially given how often it’s used on weekend nights.
For now, the elevator is in working order, as we discovered on our latest ride up. There is no more menacing thumping noise when you reach the second floor, though the smooth ride seems to take longer than it should.
On the roof, Cebada is much as it has always been: a beautiful outdoor patio with views of Giralda Plaza and a small indoor space for when the weather doesn’t comply with your happy hour plans. Ramos is adding Bar Bella inside – a concept he’s already tested in South Miami – offering more traditional cocktails than the outside bar’s specialties. We stayed there for our drinks, enjoying a cool breeze and the new menu, which Ramos has used the time off to rework slightly, adding more small plates and updating the drinks.
We’ll keep you posted on the Cebada vs. elevator rivalry moving forward, but for now, you don’t have to take the stairs.
