Experience the Elevated Life: Lani Rooftop Lounge to Open to the Public

First rooftop bar in heart of Powell to feature globally inspired small plates, curated cocktails and exceptional hospitality in a relaxing, upscale atmosphere

DUBLIN, Ohio, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The much anticipated debut of Powell's first rooftop bar and restaurant – Lani Rooftop Lounge – is almost here. As part of COhatch's new Lifestyle Group, the third-story Lani Rooftop Lounge will open to the public on April 9. The opening marks the completion of COhatch's main building at its downtown Powell campus, following the March 2 launch of its coworking and meeting space at the same address.

Lani will showcase globally inspired small plates rooted in Japanese, French and Italian flavors and techniques, paired with hand-crafted cocktails and delivered with truly exceptional hospitality for a unique dining experience. With a modern, sophisticated yet casual setting, Lani offers unique panoramic views of the Powell area alongside indoor and outdoor dining options. Guests can choose between relaxing at the bar or reserving space in one of its three dining areas—patio, main and sky room.

"We are focused on offering the Powell community and our members an elevated experience that blends social, professional and personal together," said Matt Davis, CEO and co-founder of COhatch. "The new Lifestyle Group was created to embody this extended experience that we are creating for our members and the communities that we serve. Our mission is to provide world-class hospitality and to be the most innovative and community-focused developer, coworking and lifestyle company on the planet."

The new rooftop bar is another step forward in the ongoing revitalization of the downtown Powell area and represents the first upscale bar and restaurant owned and operated by COhatch's Lifestyle Group. In addition, Lani is available for corporate events and life celebrations, such as weddings and baby showers. In the coming months, Lani will be joined by the Eyrie Lounge in Hamilton, Ohio and Reds in the Riverview Village development in Dublin, Ohio.

Under the direction of award-winning Culinary Director Lingo Quichocho, guests can expect small plate deliciousness with the best locally and globally sourced ingredients on a seasonal basis. Featured items from the spring and summer menu include: olives + cucumbers, tuna tartare, artisan lettuces, smoked fish spread and wagyu meatballs along with mouth-watering dessert selections.

COhatch members will have easy access to Lani Rooftop Lounge and will enjoy member perks while dining, including complimentary dining options and enhanced access to reservations.

"Lani Rooftop Bar is more than a neighborhood gathering place—it's a destination," said Tania Lehotay, partner and head of the Lifestyle Group for COhatch. "For those seeking an elevated experience, Lani is where atmosphere, design and hospitality come together perfectly to satisfy even the most discriminating of guests."
