Delight in shareable Southern Mediterranean tapas-style eats and cocktails while enjoying live entertainment at the dynamic RISE Rooftop Lounge. Located atop Westin Anaheim Resort, this rooftop bar overlooks California Adventure® Park and the resort's nightly fireworks.

Located on the rooftop of the brand new JW Marriott, Anaheim Resort™, Parkestry Rooftop Bar invites visitors to enjoy handcrafted libations and light bites at this new, swanky outdoor space overlooking the Disneyland® Resort.

BluSky Restaurant and Bar's 12th floor rooftop setting provides spectacular views where guests can enjoy Anaheim’s year-round beautiful weather. The bar features an exhibition kitchen, private dining room, pool and a stunning outdoor dining terrace with fire pits. Chef Edgar Beas takes inspiration from his experience cooking in the Basque Country of Spain to create playful yet familiar takes on Spanish dishes at Blu SkyBar.

Just across the street from the Disneyland® Resort, The FIFTH is an open-air rooftop bar located atop the Grand Legacy at the Park. With live entertainment and great views of the park, it's the perfect place to catch the fireworks with a crafted cocktail in hand.

Two land-development projects that will form a massive lifestyle, business, dining and entertainment hub in Anaheim. 

ocV!BE will be anchored by Honda Center and will include the following upon completion in 2024:

  • A new 5,700-capacity concert venue
  • 30+ restaurant concepts
  • Four public plazas
  • 865,000 sq. ft. of office space, including a 325,000-sq. ft. office tower
  • Two new hotels with a planned 550 total rooms
  • 20 acres of parks and open space

This project will feature numerous walkways and bridges connecting the full 115 acres creating a sense of place for guests. A landmark feature will be a bridge crossing Katella Avenue to provide a safe path from ARTIC to Honda Center, while decreasing pedestrian traffic on the streets.

2.  Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland

Come live your very own Star Wars™ story in a whole new land where a galaxy far, far away unfolds all around you. Welcome to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, opening May 31, 2019. Around corners and through back alleys, you can build your own droid and custom lightsaber and sample the curious concoctions of the local cantina. Then, gather your crew and take control of the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy on Millennium Falcon­­­: Smugglers Run. And, after opening later in the year, find yourself caught in an epic battle between the Resistance and the First Order in Star Wars:Rise of the Resistance—where the incoming laser fire of a towering AT-AT is matched only by the red crackle of Kylo Ren’s lightsaber. Soon the time will come to live your adventure at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

 Disclaimer:
Reservations and valid Theme Park admission required to visit Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge between May 31 and June 23, 2019. Capacity for Disneyland® Park, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and its experiences is limited. Access to the Park, land and experiences may be restricted or unavailable depending on Guest demand and other factors. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance attraction opens later in the year.
