If Hong Kong is known for two things, it has to be the incredible skyscrapers that make this concrete jungle beautiful, and the amazing food and drinks scene where you can literally find every cuisine under the sun. So the best way to experience the city is by visiting its rooftop bars, which combine the two!
Whether it’s a sundowner, happy hour after work, or a nice dinner date, here is your complete list of rooftop bars in Hong Kong that you HAVE to visit! And not to worry when it comes to those rainy days – there are venues on this list with covered terraces to keep you nice and dry.
Aqua — Tsim Sha Tsui
When people talk about Hong Kong bars with a view, Aqua still comes up for good reason. Sitting on the 17th floor of H Zentre, its outdoor aqua spirit terrace looks straight across Victoria Harbour to the Hong Kong Island skyline. A mirrored catwalk leads into the dramatic dining room, while Italian and Japanese dishes, signature cocktails and resident DJs from Thursday to Saturday make it easy to stay well past sunset.
Location: 17/F, H Zentre, 15 Middle Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
Opening Hours: 3pm–12am (Sun-Thu); 3pm–1am (Fri-Sat)

AVOCA — Tsim Sha Tsui
The view could easily do all the work at AVOCA, but the cocktails are the real reason to head up to the 38th floor of Mondrian Hong Kong. Local flavours are given playful new forms in drinks such as the Clay Pot Negroni, while seasonal creations keep the menu moving. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame Victoria Harbour, DJs take over on selected nights and the mood stays lively without feeling like a full-blown club.
Location: 38/F, Mondrian Hong Kong, 8A Hart Avenue, Tsim Sha Tsui
Opening Hours: 6:30pm–1am daily

Cardinal Point — Central
Cardinal Point sits at the top of FORTY-FIVE, with an open-air Sky Terrace that feels made for golden hour. Beverage Director John Nugent’s current menu keeps things fun rather than overly serious, with the Pandan Highball, Glass Margarita and Coconut Old Fashioned among the signatures. Resident DJs take things up a notch later in the evening, while the combination of indoor lounge and outdoor terrace makes it work in almost any weather.
Location: 43–45/F, FORTY-FIVE, Gloucester Tower, The Landmark, 15 Queen’s Road Central, Central
Opening Hours: 12pm–1am (Mon-Sat & day before PH); 11:30am–10pm (Sun); 11:30am–1am (PH)

Cruise Restaurant & Bar — North Point
Cruise remains one of the best reasons to head east for rooftop drinks. Its 23rd-floor terrace looks across Victoria Harbour towards Kowloon, with plenty of space to settle in rather than fight for a tiny balcony table. Modern Asian sharing plates accompany locally inspired cocktails from the Sip Trip: Ship & Sail collection, while weekday Happy Hour makes the sunset slot especially appealing. It gets livelier as the evening goes on, without losing its easy-going feel.
Happy Hour: 3pm–7pm (Mon-Fri)
Location: 23/F, West Tower, Hyatt Centric Victoria Harbour Hong Kong, 1 North Point Estate Lane, North Point
Opening Hours: 3pm–12am (Mon-Thu); 3pm–1am (Fri); 12pm–1am (Sat); 12pm–12am (Sun)

Eyebar — Tsim Sha Tsui
Eyebar has been around for years, but that straight-on view of Hong Kong Island still delivers. Grab an outdoor seat if the weather is kind, or stay inside by the floor-to-ceiling windows when it isn’t. The current signature is the Suzie Wrong, joined by a wider cocktail and mocktail list. Sunset Happy Hour runs every day, making this an easy place to catch the skyline before the evening crowds arrive.
Happy Hour: 4pm–7pm daily, with selected drinks from 30% off
Location: Shop 3001, 30/F, iSQUARE, 63 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
Opening Hours: 3pm–12am (Sun-Thu); 3pm–1am (Fri, Sat & PH)

Jin Bo Law — Kai Tak
Kai Tak has changed quickly, and Jin Bo Law gives you a great place to take it all in. Sitting beside Dorsett Kai Tak’s rooftop infinity pool, the 15th-floor skybar overlooks the Sports Park, Victoria Harbour and the surrounding skyline. Its current A Timeless Hong Kong Tale menu looks back at old Kowloon and Kai Tak Airport through drinks made with ingredients such as baijiu, osmanthus and Shaoxing wine. Sunset is the obvious time to arrive.
Location: 15/F, Dorsett Kai Tak, 43 Shing Kai Road, Kai Tak
Opening Hours: 5pm–12am daily

KABOOM — Tsim Sha Tsui
KABOOM leans fully into the tropical rooftop look, with bamboo, rattan furniture and thatched umbrellas giving the terrace a little holiday energy in the middle of Tsim Sha Tsui. The menu mixes Southeast Asian-inspired food with colourful cocktails, while shisha remains part of the experience. There is indoor seating when Hong Kong gets unbearably hot, but the outdoor deck overlooking Victoria Harbour is really where you want to be once the sun starts dropping.
Location: 20/F, Prince Tower, 12A Peking Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
Opening Hours: 12pm–1am (Sun-Wed); 12pm–2am (Thu-Sat). Rooftop opens from 4pm.

OMAROO Grill & Rooftop Bar — Central
OMAROO sits right at the top of H Queen’s, and the rooftop is the kind of place that makes an after-work drink feel instantly better. The name means “a beautiful view” in an Aboriginal language, which suits the setting nicely: look one way for Victoria Harbour and the other towards The Peak. Downstairs is an Australian steakhouse, while upstairs keeps things simpler with cocktails, wine, bar snacks and plenty of fresh air. The rooftop is walk-in only.
Location: 26/F & Rooftop, H Queen’s, 80 Queen’s Road Central, Central
Opening Hours: 4pm–11pm (Sun-Wed); 4pm–12am (Thu-Sat)

OZONE — West Kowloon
OZONE is one of those Hong Kong bars you visit at least once simply to say you have. Sitting on Level 118 of the ICC, the world’s highest rooftop bar pairs huge Victoria Harbour views with bold interiors, DJs, cocktails and small plates. It is undeniably pricey, and outdoor window seats come with a higher minimum spend, but there are few places in the city that can match the sheer sense of height when the skyline lights up below.
Location: Level 118, The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, International Commerce Centre, 1 Austin Road West, West Kowloon
Opening Hours: 4pm–1am (Mon-Fri); 2pm–1am (Sat); 12pm–3pm & 4pm–12am (Sun); 2pm–12am (PH)

Popinjays — Central
Popinjays has plenty going for it before you even order a drink. The Murray’s rooftop restaurant and bar wraps around the 26th floor, giving you views across Central from several angles rather than a single narrow terrace. The current focus is Italian food, Spritzes and classic cocktails, with daily Sunset Sessions starting in the afternoon. Through September 2026, there is also a seasonal Dom Pérignon Bar for those in the mood to go all out.
Happy Hour: Sunset Sessions | 3pm–7:30pm daily
Location: 26/F, The Murray, 22 Cotton Tree Drive, Central
Opening Hours: 3pm–12am (Sun-Thu); 3pm–2am (Fri-Sat)

Red Sugar — Hung Hom
Red Sugar has always been about its enormous 270-degree terrace, and the view remains hard to beat on the Kowloon side. The current Liú 流 cocktail collection takes cues from Cantonese flavours, with ingredients such as Tieguanyin tea, Huadiao rose wine and even goose-fat-washed bourbon appearing in the drinks. Add live music, comfortable outdoor seating and a daily four-hour Happy Hour, and it remains an easy place to watch Hong Kong Island light up across the water.
Happy Hour: 4pm–8pm daily
Location: Level 7, Kerry Hotel, Hong Kong, 38 Hung Luen Road, Hung Hom
Opening Hours: 4pm–12am (Mon-Thu, Sun & PH); 4pm–1am (Fri, Sat & PH Eve)

SKYE Roofbar & Brasserie — Causeway Bay
SKYE combines a proper rooftop bar with a full French brasserie, so it works just as well for dinner as it does for drinks. The 27th-floor terrace looks across Victoria Park towards the harbour, while the current cocktail collection takes inspiration from Hong Kong streets. Try the Gloucester Road, made with the hotel’s own PL50 Gin, or settle in with something from the 50-plus wine selection. The outdoor terrace is walk-in for drinks.
Location: 27/F, The Park Lane Hong Kong, Autograph Collection, 310 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay
Opening Hours: 12pm–1am daily

Sugar — Tai Koo
Sugar has always been a good reminder that rooftop drinks do not have to mean Central or Tsim Sha Tsui. The 32nd-floor deck at EAST Hong Kong feels spacious and relaxed, with harbour views, outdoor sofas and nightly DJs. Its latest cocktail programme looks to Hong Kong’s cinematic past, with drinks inspired by films including Chungking Express, Infernal Affairs and In the Mood for Love. It is a neighbourhood bar with a decidedly non-neighbourhood view.
Location: 32/F, EAST Hong Kong, 29 Taikoo Shing Road, Tai Koo
Opening Hours: 5:30pm–12am (Mon-Thu & Sun); 5:30pm–2am (Fri, Sat & PH Eve)

Sunset Grill — Tung Chung
If you would rather swap Central’s skyscrapers for open water and Lantau’s hills, Sunset Grill is a welcome change of scene. The 19th-floor restaurant at Sheraton Hong Kong Tung Chung centres its menu on charcoal-grilled meat and seafood, with an outdoor terrace looking towards the coastline and South China Sea. The bar keeps the local connection going with its Honey Old Fashioned, made using organic Hong Kong honey. Unsurprisingly, the best time to arrive is just before sunset.
Location: 19/F, Sheraton Hong Kong Tung Chung Hotel, 9 Yi Tung Road, Tung Chung
Opening Hours: 12pm–12am daily

Swim Club — Tsim Sha Tsui
Swim Club feels more like a Southern California rooftop hangout than a conventional hotel bar, and that is a big part of its charm. The 50th-floor space at Kimpton Tsim Sha Tsui wraps around the pool with beach chairs, outdoor sofas and nearly 360-degree harbour views. Cocktails stay light and bright, while Latin American and Mediterranean influences show up in the snacks. It is especially good around sunset, when the pool and skyline start glowing together.
Location: 50/F, Kimpton Tsim Sha Tsui, 11 Middle Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
Opening Hours: 5pm–12am (Sun-Thu); 5pm–1am (Fri-Sat). Weekend brunch is also available during the day.

Terrace Boulud — Central
Terrace Boulud is one of the newest reasons to head up rather than down for drinks in Central. Chef Daniel Boulud’s first Terrace Boulud in Asia sits on the 25th floor of LANDMARK PRINCE’S, with a proper open-air terrace overlooking the harbour. The food follows a polished French brasserie style, while the rooftop pours creative cocktails, wine and local beers. Come at 3pm for a quiet drink, or wait until sunset when the city does most of the work.
Location: 25/F, LANDMARK PRINCE’S, 10 Chater Road, Central
Opening Hours: Drinks: 3pm–12am daily

Terrible Baby — Jordan
Terrible Baby has never felt like a typical hotel bar. The fourth-floor space at Eaton HK mixes a lush open-air garden with a Music Room that regularly hosts local and international acts, giving it much more personality than the usual rooftop lounge. Bar Manager Axel Gonzalez’s new 2026 cocktail menu is organised around five flavour profiles, with drinks such as the DDL Old Fashioned and Dong Ling Cha. The terrace is also officially dog-friendly.
Happy Hour: 2pm–7pm (Sun-Thu)
Location: 4/F, Eaton HK, 380 Nathan Road, Jordan
Opening Hours: 2pm–12am (Sun-Thu); 2pm–2am (Fri-Sat)
