7 rooftop bars worth the night across Germany, editor-ranked. All Germany guides.
Ory Bar ★ 4.7 · Munich
altstadt-lehel · Neuturmstrasse 1, 80331 Munich
Ory Bar opened in 2018 on the ground floor of the Mandarin Oriental on Neuturmstrasse, with a long marble counter, deep spirits selection and a summer rooftop opening for cocktails over the rooftops of the Altstadt.
Tip: The hotel rooftop opens through the warm months; the indoor bar runs year round. Book ahead for the Friday and Saturday late slots.
Klunkerkranich ★ 4.4 · Berlin
neukoelln · Karl-Marx-Strasse 66, 12043 Berlin
Klunkerkranich runs since 2013 on the top parking deck of the Neukoelln Arcaden mall, with a wraparound view across south Berlin, a small stage, food carts and DJs through the warm months.
Tip: Take the library/post lift to the 5th floor of the mall, then climb one flight. Bad weather closes the deck; check the program first.
Hotel de Rome Rooftop Terrace ★ 4.4 · Berlin
mitte · Behrenstrasse 37, 10117 Berlin
The Rocco Forte Hotel de Rome on Bebelplatz opens its sixth-floor terrace through the warm months, with views over the State Opera, Berliner Dom and the TV Tower over champagne and wood-fired pizza.
Tip: Open seasonally, May to early autumn. Book ahead on warm evenings; non-guests welcome.
M'Uniqo Rooftop Bar ★ 4.4 · Munich
schwabing · Leopoldstrasse 170, 80804 Munich
M'Uniqo sits on the 13th floor of the Hyatt Schwabinger Tor at the north end of Leopoldstrasse, with a 360-degree wraparound deck, Alpine sightlines on clear days and a Mediterranean small-plates programme.
Tip: Sunset is the seat to chase; arrive by 19:00 in summer. Check the Hyatt page for current opening days before travel.
Monkey Bar ★ 4.3 · Berlin
charlottenburg · Budapester Strasse 40, 10787 Berlin
Monkey Bar sits on the tenth floor of the 25hours Hotel Bikini with a 250-square-metre room and a terrace overlooking Berlin Zoo, the Gedaechtniskirche and the Tiergarten canopy.
Tip: Queues build after 19:00; weeknight afternoons get the terrace. The signature cocktail is the Berliner Luft.
Solar Sky Bar ★ 4.2 · Berlin
kreuzberg · Stresemannstrasse 76, 10963 Berlin
Solar sits on the 16th and 17th floors of an anonymous Kreuzberg tower near Anhalter Bahnhof; a glass lift on the outside delivers guests to a panoramic cocktail lounge and an upstairs restaurant.
Tip: The free lift is the entry; queue at the ground-floor entrance after 21:00. Cocktails skew classic; the restaurant upstairs takes OpenTable.
Deutsche Eiche Rooftop Terrace ★ 4.2 · Munich
glockenbachviertel · Reichenbachstrasse 13, 80469 Munich
The Deutsche Eiche on Reichenbachstrasse has stood since 1864 as a Munich gay-village landmark, and its rooftop terrace looks over the Glockenbachviertel rooftops with drinks alongside the Bavarian restaurant downstairs.
Tip: Open with service; the restaurant runs alongside. Freddie Mercury and Donna Summer are part of the house lore.
