Oliver’s Rooftop is a one-of-a-kind culinary destination that pays homage to Erie’s rich maritime history. Oliver’s is named in honor of Oliver Hazard Perry, an American naval commodore, most known for his heroic role in the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie. This battle is considered to have been the pivotal American victory in the Battle of 1812. Visitors of Oliver’s Rooftop will have the chance to view Perry’s 110-foot flagship, the US Brig Niagara, moored in her home port adjacent to the restaurant. We look forward to welcoming you to Oliver’s Rooftop for an incredible and memorable dining experience!
