Storage wall to Cocktail Entrance, from White Stairs / Cocktail Entrance.

Hatches and vertical play

Red Hatch (roof) (over Red Stairs).
New Hatch (roof) (over Cigar side / Cigar Balcony).
The roof. It is not breakable; the only openings are two roof hatches and the skylight. Neither hatch sits over Bar or Cocktail Lounge: Red Hatch is over Red Stairs (west) and New Hatch is over the north-west Cigar side (siterep says Cigar Balcony). So vertical play from above is limited to dropping into the Cigar / Piano / Red Stairs side.

Cocktail Balcony.
Cigar Balcony.
medium-high: roof control is standard, attackers rappel on the Cocktail windows (siegestrats lists a 'Cocktail Window Blackout' strat), and Cigar Balcony under New Hatch is a key attacker position that punishes defenders standing in open Bar.
