The Rooftop at Gilly’s

Glass roof on restaurant patio

They call themselves a sports bar with a rooftop, but they are much more.

Funkys Pizza & Daiquiri Bar

Funky’s Pizza & Daiquiri Bar in Oxford, MS, didn’t just expand its menu—it expanded its footprint, too. The adjacent space features a chic loft that practically demands a skylight. Cabrio stepped in to tackle the steep roof slope, installing a massive skylight that opens up nearly 50% when the weather’s just right. Now, whether you’re […]
