We’re always on the lookout for new spots to soak up Northeast Ohio’s hazy summers. With views of Lake Erie, FirstEnergy Stadium and the Cuyahoga River, Punch Bowl Social’s new rooftop patio has a trifecta of Snapchat-worthy sights. But there’s more to this place than just a chance to up your social media rep. Challenge your squad to a game of Giant Jenga or cornhole. Nosh on shrimp tacos ($8) while sipping on the King’s Cup ($8), a delicious mix of coconut rum, pineapple fennel seed shrub and white pear Fuji apple tea. Even if you’re a #NoFilter fan, Punch Bowl adds a layer of fun worth sharing. 1086 W. 11th St., Cleveland, 216-239-1508, punchbowlsocial.com
