Macondo runs a Pratello cocktail bar with a tiny stage that programmes around 250 live nights a year, anchoring Via del Pratello's bohemian strip.
TipThe room fills by the second song so arrive by 21:00 for a bar stool. Cash and card both work and the cocktail list runs cheaper than the centre.
Terrazza Mattuiani opens for the warm months on the fifth floor of Hotel Touring Bologna with a cocktail bar, loungers and an in-deck jacuzzi.
TipReservations are required; the jacuzzi slot runs 30 minutes per booking. Open May through September only, hours can shift if the weather closes the deck.
The Roof Garden sits on the fifth floor of Hotel Metropolitan a couple of streets from Via dell'Indipendenza, with loungers, dining tables and a sightline.
TipAperitivo runs from 17:00 and the kitchen sends a short bites list at the bar. Closed October to February so plan for the warm months.
The Aemilia Hotel rooftop runs from the seventh floor of the Savhotel on Via Zaccherini Alvisi, a wide terrace with a lounge corner and a panorama that takes.
TipThe hotel sits a 10 minute walk east of the centre; the terrace is quieter than the central hotels and the cocktail list runs cheaper. Sunset over San Luca is the time slot.
I Portici tucks its rooftop deck above a 19th-century palazzo on Via dell'Indipendenza, with a cocktail bar that looks across the green of Parco della.
TipCocktails from 18:00 with a short bar menu; the room downstairs takes the dinner crowd so the rooftop stays drink-only. Reserve through the hotel for a terrace seat.
