Where to find the world's 10 best rooftop bars
With summer in full swing it, finding good outdoor spaces to have a drink is the thing to do. Nothing says summer more than a couple of friends sitting on an outdoor terrace sharing a pitcher. But even better than your average terrace or patio has to be a rooftop.Stopping for an evening drink is an excellent activity, but if you can find a bar on top of a tall building with an excellent view of your host city, even better. While in Vietnam last fall, my hostel in Hanoi had a rooftop bar and it seemed none of us ever wanted to leave. Our friends over at Matador Nights -- part of the Matador Network -- think along the same lines and have graced us with an article on The World's 10 Best Rooftop Bars. It's the insider's guide to finding the best rooftop nightlife, from the ultra cool to the ultra sexy.
Here are the top five:
- Sirocco, Bangkok, Thailand
- The Penthouse, Madrid, Spain
- Luna Bar, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
- Rooftop Bar, Melbourne, Australia
- Gravity, Dublin, Ireland
For the rest of the list and descriptions to all of the bars, read the Matador Nights article here. Do you have a favorite rooftop bar?

The HOOTERS patio in Toronto, CA. Okay Hoots is not known as the most reputable when it comes to it's style. But this location does have one of the nicest roof patios I've had the pleasure to sit on. It's fairly quite, good music, food is eatable, the view(s) ain't bad either. And lastly on a summer day in T.O. it is the only place to be beside the lake. :)
