Long gone are the days to where the only place to enjoy a good drink is a cramped, hole in the wall bar. Afterall, drinks are better with a good view! You won’t find a much better one than at the great rooftop bars listed below.
Sky Bar, Bangkok
Situated on the 63rd floor at the Lebua in the State Tower Hotel,at 820 feet in the air, this is one of the highest open-air bars in the world. It’s lit with neon lights that change colors every minute and a half. This bar may look familiar to you as it was one of the locations where The Hangover Part II was shot. One of the bar’s signature drinks, the Hangovertini, was inspired by the movie. In addition to this drink there are ice poptails. They combine the perfect mix of liquor and juice to make an adult popsicle to help you cool down on a hot Bangkok night.
AER, Mumbai
This bar offers one of the most spectacular views in the world. At 34 stories high, the AER is open year round, even during monsoon season. If you are looking to enjoy a good view while in India, this is the place to go as it’s one of the highest locations in the country that tourists can visit. People don’t just come here for the drinks or the view, but also the atmosphere. Each night there’s a DJ on hand that turns the bar into a party like atmosphere.
Rock Bar, Bali
This bar is rather interesting just because of its location. At 50 feet high, it was actually built into a rock formation above the Indian Ocean. This cliffside bar allows you to enjoy a drink and a one of a kind view. If you visit this bar, make sure you get a glimpse of the DJ booth that’s also been carved into the rock. In order to visit the Rock Bar and enjoy one of the signature drinks like the Spa on the Rock, you will need to take a cable car.
The Culpeper, London
Even though this bar is just four floors high, it still has a fantastic view. It features a garden as well as a greenhouse. One of its signature drinks is the Lemon-Thyme Ambrosia. It’s made out of Prosecco, calvados and brandy. If you are interested in learning how to make a cocktail of your own, The Culpeper also offers cocktail making workshops on a regular basis.
