Departure is the 15th-floor modern Asian restaurant and bar on top of The Nines hotel, with two outdoor decks that look out over the river and the West Hills.
TipThe West Deck Bar takes walk-ins for cocktails when the dining room is on a wait; sunset and clear evenings draw a queue from 18:00 onward.
Xport is the 16th-floor rooftop lounge on top of the Porter Hotel in downtown's south end, with globally inspired small plates and panoramic views to Mt. Hood on a clear day.
TipIndoor lounge and outdoor terrace; the terrace fills up first on summer evenings, so come at 16:00 if you want a seat outside.
Noble Rot is the fourth-floor wine bar on East Burnside with a rooftop garden that supplies the kitchen and a glass terrace that looks out over the inner east side.
TipTuesday through Saturday only; the bar takes walk-ins for two but reservations are strict for the dining room. Earlier seatings get sunset.
Radio Room is the 1949 Art Deco restaurant and cocktail bar on NE Alberta with a heated rooftop patio, half covered with a fireplace and half open to the sky.
TipThe roof has its own bar and stays open seven days; the fireplace half stays warm in shoulder season, the open half is the sunset perch in summer.
