Level 8 Lounge

Perched atop the historic Hotel Duval, Level 8 Lounge is Tallahassee's singular rooftop escape—equal parts urban chic and Southern ease. Step out of the elevator onto a glowing eighth-floor hideaway, where low-slung sofas and open-air terraces frame dramatic skyline views. Here, the sunset is an event: locals mingle with visiting professionals and hotel guests as the city blushes below, bourbon in hand or savoring a signature cocktail. The menu leans toward shareable social bites—crispy wings, bacon sliders, bubbling buffalo dip—designed for lingering conversation rather than hurried meals. A walk-in humidor speaks to cigar lovers, while heaters and plush seating invite year-round enjoyment. Music drifts through both sunlit evenings and late nights, creating a lounge atmosphere that's equal parts sophisticated and relaxed. Prices signal a see-and-be-seen spot, yet happy hour offers a more approachable way in. Level 8 isn’t just about drinks; it’s where Tallahassee comes to gather above it all—a living room in the clouds for friends, first dates, and sunset seekers.
