The 13 Best Rooftop Bars & Restaurants In Atlanta

"We like the fun, causal atmosphere at St. Julep atop the Sylvan hotel—because whether your crew comes dressed in suits or scrubs, it’s the perfect bar to unwind after work. Vivid orange walls, sunny flower murals, and upbeat dance hits give this place an air of carefree summer bliss. There’s no pool up here, but handheld snacks like crispy fried corn dogs and a 10-taco flight could convince you you’re at some water park. The cocktail menu changes often but always offers solid concoctions like pomegranate daiquiris, vodka-heavy dirty chai, and boozy soft serve. The view captures more Buckhead condominiums than endless horizon, but we’re usually too focused on slathering mustard on our corn dogs to care." - juli horsford
