Seven Lucky Gods

A venue known for some of the best Japanese cuisine, Seven Lucky Gods also has a beautiful rooftop terrace, perfect for soaking up the sun. Order innovative sushi bites, alongside cracking cocktails and the prettiest views of Bristol.

The White Lion Bar

Part of Avon Gorge by Hotel du Vin, The White Lion Bar in Bristol has a huge outdoor area boasting amazing views of Clifton Suspension Bridge and the surrounding hills. The perfect pitstop after a day of exploring, this rooftop stunner is a favourite for its craft ales and gourmet dinners.

Gambas

Gambas is superb when it comes to rooftop restaurants in Bristol. Grab a drink and make your way to its sky-high terrace for views, delish tapas-style plates, and some of the tastiest tipples - we recommend trying the Spanish negroni.

Bambalan

Serving up vibrant North African and Mediterranean-inspired dishes, Bambalan in Bristol is also a boozy favourite. What makes it so special? The mega rooftop bar with a view of the city centre slings out gorgeous 2-4-1 drinks from 4pm to 7pm.
