Roxy’s Hanover Street branch is full of the usual - crazy pool, ping pong, beer pong, shuffleboard, American pool - but also has a cracking little rooftop terrace.

Carpathia

Where: 30 James St, L2 7PQ, Liverpool 

Small but stylish with one of the best views on this list, Carpathia sits on top of 30 James Street Hotel. The decor is toned down, and the Liver Building is close you’ll feel like you can reach it. But don’t actually try to, obviously. At the time of writing, the website says the bar is closed, so be sure to check before you make the journey. But when it’s open, the views are the perfect backdrop for sipping bubbly.  

 


  

14 Bar & Grill

Where: 14th Floor Daniel House, 31 Trinity Road, Bootle, L20 3TB, Liverpool 

As you sit sipping your drink, the sun starts to set, drowning the bar and you in gorgeous deep pinky purple and orange hues. At least that’s the experience at 14 Bar & Grill, thanks to the entire area being encased in glass. Perched on the 14th floor, you’ll enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Liverpool's skyline while your taste buds are sent to heaven by their extensive menu that includes burgers, sushi, truffle chips, and lamb shank.  

  


 

Goodness Gracious at Oh Me Oh My

Open Wednesdays to Sundays between April and September, Goodness Gracious is Oh Me Oh My’s Liverpool beautiful rooftop bar. Answering our prayers, Goodness Gracious has begun serving afternoon tea complete with a savoury snack, a sweet treat and champagne, naturally.

Tempest on Tithebarn

Tempest on Tithebarn really is something special. Keen to stay fresh and local, the bar has bees making honey that they use in food and drinks and an in-house bakery for that perfect burger bun. The bar also has plans for a herb garden on the roof. With lovely views, a slushie bar, brunch, live music, and other events, it’s definitely up there with the best rooftop bars in Liverpool.

Crazy Pedro's

Where: 25 Parr St, L1 4JN, Liverpool 

Crazy Pedro’s rooftop area isn’t the biggest, but it still soaks up the sun and will pair immaculately well with one of their frozen margaritas. The go-to rooftop bar for chilling, Pedro’s offers pizza with zany toppings by the slice, nachos, and drinks with sweets as garnish. We can confidently say that this Pedro's branch was definitely made for chatting shit through the night until the early hours. 

 


 

Panoramic 34

Where: 34th Floor, West Tower, Brook Street, L3 9PJ, Liverpool

Admittedly Panoramic 34 isn’t really a rooftop bar as it isn’t on the rooftop. But it is a lovely bar, so we figured we’d add it here and let you decide. And to be fair, it’s probably a good thing that it’s indoors and not on the roof as it’s a whopping 300 ft above sea level on the 34th floor. It's one of the UK's highest restaurants and offers 360 views to enjoy while enjoying a classic cocktail. Even though it technically doesn’t belong on this list, we think it’s earned its place.

 


 

Clearly we've got plenty of brilliant Liverpool rooftop bars to choose from. Whether you’re a boujee babe, a sports fan, or love unleashing your competitive side, there's a bar we’re sure you’ll love. Now excuse us as we spend the rest of summer jumping between the best rooftop bars in Liverpool.
