Now if you wanted to take in the sights of the UK's second biggest city, then you're in luck. Marco Pierre White nabbed this location atop the iconic Cube building. Fronting juicy steaks and a Love Island iced tea, this is hands down one of the best rooftop bars in Birmingham with a view.
A charming restaurant bar with plant-filled, vintage interiors and a spacious beer garden, The Botanist boasts pretty canalside views. They've got plenty of sunny outdoor space, and during the winter there's a cosy pergola to keep you warm.
Their wide range of cocktails promise refreshing, botanical flavours, and there are all sorts of tasty plates to enjoy too - think crispy chicken burgers, hanging tofu kebabs, sirloin steaks and more. Plus, they host live music on a regular basis.
The Button Factory may channel some cool NYC vibes inside, but go onto their sun-trap balcony and you can get a beautiful view of the Jewellery Quarter. Meanwhile, you can sip on some delicious cocktails and munch on food from their robata grill – what's not to love?
Situated in Brindleyplace, The Pitcher and Piano is one of the best bars with a view in Birmingham. Whether you're on their tables or perched on the second-floor terrace with a pint in hand, this is a great place to frequent during the warmer months.
Brightsmith On The Water is one of the best outdoor bars in Birmingham with a view. Tuck into beetroot tartare, smoked duck breast, triple cooked rosemary chips while slinging back a signature cocktail - the strawberry basil sour is a delight.
One of the best cocktail bars in Birmingham, this pretty rooftop is a luxury escape. Fronting a secret garden, plush booths and dining pods, it's a great place to settle into for dinner and cocktails. Sitting on the outskirts of the city, it makes for fab Insta photos.
A rooftop bar near The Mailbox in Birmingham, The Malt House is a canalside haunt boasting a menu of pub classics. While wolfing down on some fish 'n chips, you can relax on the balcony with an Aperol spritz in hand.
Didn't think a pub would make our list? Think again. The Church Inn has a hidden terrace, perfect for whiling away the weekends. Munch on scrumptious brunches, stacked burgers and freshly pulled pints of craft beer.
When it comes to the best rooftop bars in Birmingham city centre, Henman & Cooper Bar is your watering hole for after work drinks and supreme dinners. Along with an all-day menu and signature cocktails, it's definitely a winner in our books.
