Best rooftop bars in the world

Is there anything better than sipping your favorite drink with the spectacular backdrop of a panoramic city view?

Good friends, delicious drinks and epic vibes are a must for any night out. Adding altitude and a twinkling city skyline takes the fun to a whole new level.

But choosing the best rooftop bar can be tricky and your reputation might be riding on it. Are you after the best view? Or is it more important to avoid bad service, over-priced drinks and big crowds?

To make life easier, we ranked rooftop bars from all over the world in seven different categories:

World’s best of the best rooftop bars
Best cities for rooftop bars
Best rooftop bar experience
Most affordable rooftop bars
Most Instagrammable rooftop bars
Best ‘hidden gem’ rooftop bars
Best rooftop bars in the UK

Whether planning your next night out or dreaming up a global bar hop, you’ll find inspiration in our list of the world’s best rooftop bars. Let’s check them out.

How we chose the best rooftop bars

To make our lists, these rooftop bars needed more than cold drinks and nice views.

Instead of a global bar crawl to decide the world’s top rooftop bars, we crawled the internet instead. Granted, it was a less fun way to go about it, but you can’t argue with the numbers.

Methodology

Individual ranking data for each rooftop bar was taken from the following sources:

Customer Experience — data was based on the percentage of reviews that rated the establishment as ‘excellent’ on the Tripadvisor platform.

Wine Prices — the lowest price for a standard-sized bottle of wine was obtained from the website and menu of each rooftop bar.

Instagram Shares — data was obtained by analysing the number of hashtags mentioning the rooftop bar on Instagram. For each bar, the hashtag with the highest number of posts was used.

The website TheRooftopGuide.com was used to compile the list of rooftop bars and all data for the index was collected in June 2022

Full data is available upon request.
