- The Rux rooftop bar offers killer skyline views without the bachelorette crowds

Quick Take: A slick, modern crash pad that trades a swimming pool for a rooftop vibe and industrial-chic concrete ceilings.
Reviewed by @skytrezzi: I stayed here for my sister's orientation at Meharry and it was perfect. The room lighting is unmatched for getting ready, and the food at The Rux upstairs? I'd tear it up right now. 10/10 recommend for a girls' trip!
