The 14 Best Rooftop Bars & Restaurants In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"If you’re not a guest at downtown’s Glenn Hotel, then it’ll be $5 (cash only, yikes) to get up to the SkyLounge. And a low-key scene and good drinks will make it worth it. While Reverb may have better downtown views, this rooftop gives you a panoramic outlook that stretches from Centennial Park to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. And if not for the Atlanta skyline, the chill Cali-esque vibe, hooded wicker chairs, and live music most nights could convince you you're chilling in some tropical resort rooftop. Easy listening acoustic sets combined with travel-weary hotel guests means we can relax up here—and order at the bar without someone elbowing us in the ribs. Light bites like the savory cheddar bacon and jalapeño dip are overshadowed by excellent cocktails (get the peachy Centennial) that make us forgive the ATM fee-inducing cover." - juli horsford
