Aberdeen’s downtown scene just got a little brighter with the grand opening of the new rooftop space at Three22 Kitchen + Cocktails. This long-awaited project, developed in partnership with Dacotah Bank, offers a fresh, open-air perspective on dining that brings a unique atmosphere to the heart of the city.

Key takeaways

• The rooftop features 103 seats, including cozy fire pit areas.
• A specialized menu offers shareable small plates and craft cocktails.
• The space is open seven days a week with extended weekend hours.

A vision brought to life

The rooftop project has been a dream for the ownership team at Three22 Kitchen for years. By collaborating with Dacotah Bank, the restaurant successfully transformed the second-story space above the bank into a vibrant destination. This addition is a testament to the growth of downtown Aberdeen and the commitment of local businesses to enhance the community experience.

Atmosphere and menu highlights

Guests can relax in a variety of seating options, from high-top tables to comfortable arrangements centered around fire pits. While the main restaurant continues to focus on high-quality ingredients, the rooftop offers a curated selection of shareable plates. Favorites include the dill pickle pinwheel dip, featuring crispy bacon and green onion, and the indulgent Raspberry Cheesecake Mousse. A full selection of beer, wine, and mixed drinks complements these offerings perfectly.

Community impact and operating hours

General Manager Christopher Stokes expressed pride in the positive reception from the community, noting that patrons appreciate the novelty of the experience. With a dedicated team of 70 employees across both the main restaurant and the rooftop, Three22 Kitchen remains committed to providing exceptional service. The rooftop is open daily, starting at 4 p.m. on weekdays and at noon on weekends, welcoming guests to enjoy the sunset and the city views.
