Skyline sips & hidden perches
We hunted down ten rooftops with legit skyline views—from boardwalk games to breezy Buckhead lounges. Each spot includes an official website and a Google Maps link for quick hopping.
Old Fourth Ward Skyline Park @ The Roof, Ponce City Market
Vintage carnival on a roof—mini golf, skee-ball, and the panoramic ATL trifecta: Downtown, Midtown, and Buckhead. Perfect golden-hour starter.
Old Fourth Ward 9 Mile Station
Elevated beer garden vibes with craft cocktails and shareable plates. Snag a patio rail for sunset over the Midtown skyline.
Poncey-Highland The Rooftop at Hotel Clermont
Astroturf, twinkle lights, and a retro-cool skyline view—an ATL classic for date nights and friends in town.
Buckhead St. Julep (Kimpton Sylvan)
Nine floors up with breezy cocktails, cheeky design, and “views for days” up Peachtree. Weekend glow-up spot.
West Midtown Drawbar (Bellyard Hotel)
Polished lounge + terrace with sweeping West Midtown skyline scenes—craft cocktails hit different when the BeltLine glows.
Buckhead Spaceman (Hyatt Centric)
Fifteenth-floor indoor/outdoor lounge with Buckhead lights and a sleek, spacey vibe—great for groups pre-Lenox or post-dinner.
Downtown SkyLounge at the Glenn Hotel
Centennial Park District lookout with breezy seating and direct Downtown drama—ideal after a game or aquarium day.
BeltLine Eastside New Realm Brewing — Rooftop
Brewery rooftop right on the BeltLine. Grab a hazy IPA and watch the Eastside stretch glow at sunset.
West Midtown O-Ku Atlanta — Rooftop
Sushi with a skyline. Their enclosed rooftop is a hush-hush favorite for birthday rolls + city lights.
Midtown High Note (AC Hotel & MOXY)
Courtyard-style rooftop between two hotels—easygoing cocktails, live-ish energy, and quick access to Midtown hotspots.

Dress codes? Most rooftops are smart-casual. Some enforce 21+ and may deny entry for athletic wear—check the official site first.
Reservations? Bars like Virtue and SkyLounge often run first-come, first-served for the rooftop. Restaurants with rooftops sometimes take reservations for dining rooms only.
