Located on Franklin Street, this gorgeous hangout is a hotspot for all things flora and fauna. From the pretty drinks to the Instagrammable decor, The Perch will have you swooning. And if you're in need of refreshments, there are freshly baked pizza and alfresco drinks to take care of that.
Not only is Union Street Bar a top choice for nights out, but the eclectic space is also hiding a great roof terrace. Expect beer buckets, alcoholic slushies and cocktail jugs, as well as a food menu of pizza and wings at this LGBTQ-friendly pick.
On the hunt for the best rooftop bars in Belfast city centre? Laverys is an iconic, long-standing boozer that's fronting pool tables, sports screens and quirky decor. To top it all off, this joint is also home to a lovely sky-high space where locals flock to wet their whistles with perfectly poured pints.
Undoubtedly one of the best, Tetto rooftop bar Belfast (formerly Babel) is dishing out views and booze in equal measure. Head to the Bullitt Hotel where this elevated space offers a striking backdrop for weekend brunches, after-work drinks and date nights set to the tune of live DJs.
Outdoor dining and drinking? AMPM has one of the best rooftop restaurants Belfast has to offer, with gorgeous, photo-worthy decor. Check out The Treehouse, where movie nights, small plates and cocktails are all on the menu. There's even a retractable cover for those rainy Irish days.
If you're looking a rooftop bar at a Belfast Hotel, The Merchant has a swish terrace that's ideal for special occasions. While incredibly exclusive and mainly used just for private events, this stunning oasis boasts landscaped gardens and seasonal themes throughout the year.
