Rooftop bars are a perfect respite after a long day at work or a great catch-up spot for the weekend! From the newest bars to classic favourites, these rooftops offer more than just stunning panoramic views.
Whether it’s a humid summer or breezy winter, nothing quite stops us from lounging at a rooftop bar. Great views coupled with creative cocktails and good company – the city’s sprawling with open terraces be it Tsim Sha Tsui, Central or West Kowloon (home to the world’s highest rooftop bar!). Plus, these spots are often our go-to for a romantic date night! Whatever you’re after (location, ambience or quality tipples), there really is something for everyone in our picks of rooftop bars in Hong Kong. Cheers to that!

Terrible Baby – Terrace bar in the heart of Kowloon
We love Terrible Baby for its rotating cocktail menus that match every changing season and its laid back garden terrace for an afternoon soirée. The cocktails here are ones for the ‘gram and the extensive drinks menu may give you a tough time deciding which one to go for – but also all the more reasons to come back and try more drinks!

Ozone – The highest rooftop bar in the world!
No list of Hong Kong rooftop bars would be complete without mention of hyperbolic Ozone. Sitting atop the 118th floor of the ICC in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, you may even forget you are outdoors with the sky-high wrap-around glass. We like to secure a table in the late afternoon and watch the city transform into twinkling lights as the sun goes down.

Portico at Spiga – Alfresco drinks in the heart of Central
Though this isn’t technically a rooftop bar, it has quickly become one of our favourite alfresco spots in Hong Kong. The relaxed ambience and desirable location (right by Central MTR, Exit D) provide Portico with a winning combination. Head outside to Portico for a cocktail, before commencing your Italian feast at Spiga.
