Rooftop options in Boston span high-rise cocktail bars, brewery roof decks, hotel terraces, and casual patio spots across neighborhoods such as Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Dorchester, South Boston, and Brighton. Offerings include elevated cocktails with skyline vistas, beers and barbecue, seafood plates, tacos, and inventive snacks like caviar carts and Champagne vending machines. Beacon Hill Hotel opened a public rooftop terrace with seafood dishes, charcuterie, burrata, and desserts. Bubble Bath expanded to a Back Bay rooftop atop the CitizenM hotel, featuring uninterrupted skyline views, make-your-own savory caviar cannoli, fancy bar snacks, and bubbly service from Tiffani Faison's group.
Sometimes you're fine with simply finding the closest possible restaurant patio for a pleasant al fresco meal. At other times, though, there's something about ascending to a rooftop bar for a slightly more, well, elevated experience. When that mood strikes, here's where to head, from a cocktail bar 51 floors above the city to beers and barbecue with skyline views to tasty tacos under clear blue skies.
Bubble Bath's original Downtown Boston food hall location sure is fun (A Champagne vending machine! Popcorn!)-but the 2025 expansion to Back Bay takes things up a level, or 15. Atop the CitizenM hotel, take in uninterrupted Boston skyline vistas over caviar carts (including make-your-own savory caviar cannoli), fancy bar snacks, and bubbly. This comes from Tiffani Faison's restaurant group ( Sweet Cheeks Q, Fool's Errand), so you know it's equal parts whimsical and tasty.
