If pushing and shoving your way into the crowds for this year's Red, White & BOOM! doesn't sound like your definition of a good time, there is another way.

Rooftop bars and restaurants all across Columbus will have premiere views of the show, without all the people. Some are hosting specialized events and some are letting the fireworks speak for themselves.

On July 3 at 10 p.m., fireworks will take over the Columbus sky during Red, White & BOOM! To beat the crowds, watch from rooftops all across Columbus.

When the clock strikes 10 p.m. on July 3, there's no better place to watch the fireworks in the sky than among the clouds on a Columbus rooftop. Here are some options.

Ticketed events

Brass Eye, 77 Belle St., is a rooftop bar perched on the top of The Junto hotel. Its viewing party will be from 7 to 11 p.m. Tickets are $115 and available at thejuntohotel.com.

With a ticket, partygoers get a welcome drink and access to two hours of passed appetizers. If the party isn't enough, The Junto is offering a party and a room deal, where you can reserve the package at a reduced rate.

Mandrake, 810 N. High St., is the rooftop bar at the Moxy Columbus Short North hotel. From 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., guests are invited to enjoy the view with cocktails and snacks. VIP tickets range from $125 to $2,500 and you can find them at mandrakerooftop.com
