Thrillist, a lifestyle publication, recently released its list of "The 23 Best Rooftop Bars in America." To determine the ranking, its experts scoured the 50 states to find rooftop bars that are stellar.

California dominated the round-up. Two spots in Los Angeles, Perch and Spire 73, made the cut as well as Altitude in San Diego and El Techo in San Francisco.

A few restaurants in New York were also highlight, including Top of the Strand and Penthouse 808. And a couple of Washington, D.C., eateries, Columbia Room and POV Rooftop and Lounge, were also featured.

One Atlanta spot received kudos, too: 9 Mile Station.

Located atop Ponce City Market, the bar was praised for its decor, nearby carnival games and “hard-to-find ales and lagers,” the team said.

“9 Mile possesses one of the most stunning views of Georgia capital’s skyline connecting downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead in one pan,” the writers continued. “9 Mile Station literally takes it to the next level.”

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
