by | May 12, 2023 | Activities, Food & Drink

When the weather is just right, there is nothing better than enjoying some food and drinks on a rooftop. Here are 15 of the best rooftops in Atlanta!


Rooftop L.O.A. 

One of my personal favorite rooftops is Rooftop L.O.A.! Located in West Midtown on top of The Interlock, this rooftop has ample and comfortable seating, gorgeous skyline views, and fantastic cocktail service and bites. Plus, it’s where I hosted ATL Bucket List’s 8th Anniversary Party! 

St. Julep

St. Julep is located on top of the Kimpton Sylvan Hotel in Buckhead, and it is such a fun and eclectic spot! Serving beautiful and colorful drinks, delicious bites, including soft-service ice cream and corn dogs, St. Julep is a must-visit rooftop.

Grana

Drink and dine at Grana! This Italian restaurant is located at Piedmont Heights, and is known for it’s wood-fired Neapolitan pizza, handmade pasta and meatball flights. With fire pits, open views, and amazing food, this rooftop is perfect to welcome spring!

Gypsy Kitchen

Located at Buckhead Village District, Gypsy Kitchen draws inspiration from the culinary riches of Spain—infused with Moroccan traditions from across the Gibraltar and Indian influences. And don’t miss their happy hour, every Monday through Thursday from 4-6pm!

Palo Santo

Have an unforgettable evening on the Palo Santo rooftop. Open Thursday to Saturday from 7pm to 1am, enjoy delicious Mexican-Japanese dishes and dance the night away with a live DJ at this club style rooftop. Palo Santo also just began hosting “Wine Wednesday” each Wednesday on the rooftop, so be sure to check it out!

Virtue Rooftop

Virtue Rooftop is located above Midtown’s 5Church Atlanta. There is a unique menu to Virtue that is separate from the restaurant! With a “Dress to impress” vibe, “Stay Sexy Atlanta” turf wall, fire pit, and neon lights, you have to visit this rooftop. They also have live music Friday & Saturday! Hours vary weekly (check here).

Hotel Clermont Rooftop Bar

Hotel Clermont has a breathtaking and retro rooftop bar right on Ponce De Leon Ave. The space is covered in astroturf and serves boozy cocktails and street food. Enjoy a bite, take a sip and enjoy the gorgeous skyline views. It’s the perfect girls’ night out or date spot! 

Drawbar

Located at the Bellyard Hotel in West Midtown, this beautiful terrace is decorated with greenery and comfy chairs to relax in. Open every day starting at 11AM, Drawbar is the perfect spot to enjoy the spring weather any day of the week — or really any weather, with the addition of their enclosed patio earlier this year.

High Note

High Note is an upscale yet laid-back space with flavorful dishes and creative hand-crafted cocktails. Located above the AC Hotel and Moxy Atlanta Midtown, High Note hosts events and rotates seasonal drinks!

Skylounge

Skylounge at the top of the Glenn Hotel in Downtown Atlanta has a cozy feel and a gorgeous panoramic skyline views. This rooftop has both an outdoor terrace and covered rooftop. Skylounge also takes reservations for semi-private and private functions.

The Roof at Ponce City Market

Want to experience a rooftop with a Coney Island inspired boardwalk or enjoy a nice fine dining experience? Check out The Roof at Ponce City Market! While both allow you to take in the views of Buckhead, Midtown, and Downtown, 9 Mile Station offers you a romantic dining experience, and Skyline Park has games to try like miniature golf, boardwalk games, rides, and more! Make sure you get your admission tickets. Looking for something a little more private? Head up to 12 Cocktail Bar, the speakeasy-style bar up on The Roof!

New Realm Brewing Company

New Realm has a fun and lively rooftop bar located right along the Atlanta Beltine’s Eastside Trail. Enjoy a brew up on the roof, or head downstairs for their full-service restaurant.

Habitat

This rooftop Mexican restaurant and Mezcal bar is located in Buckhead. Offering daily specials like “Taco Tuesday”, “Wine Wednesday”, and brunch, Habitat is a great place to enjoy Mexican cuisine and jam out to house and Latin music.

Spaceman

Located on the 15th floor of the Hyatt Centric Buckhead, the skyline views and ambience are unmatched. The green couches really pop, and not only is the view beautiful, but the drinks are great, too!

Estrella

Estrella is located above Bazati along the Atlanta Beltline’s Eastside Trail. It has modern, chic vibes with beautiful lighting and comfortable seating. Check out their rooftop happy hour Tuesday through Thursday!
