Drinks taste better at high altitude. We don’t have any scientific proof for this statement, but sipping on a cocktail or beer at one of Perth's rooftop bars presents some pretty compelling anecdotal evidence.

Whether you're looking out over the twinkling city skyline or settled into a nook in a cosy rooftop bar, you're guaranteed to feel the vibe. Here's where to find the best rooftop near you.

Hadiqa
Bar
Find Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Greek flavours at this big rooftop cocktail bar, from hospo veteran Andy Freeman. As for drinks? Enjoy a mix of inventive cocktails, craft beers and easy-drinking wines.
Mechanics’ Institute Bar
Bar
Nab a spot on the deck and watch one of WA’s famously colourful sunsets spill across the skyline. It’s best enjoyed with a sharp cocktail and a loaded burger from nearby Vice Burger. The retractable roof is a bonus for the sun-sensitive among us.
Tiki as FK
Bar
Look for the tiki-themed door to find this colourful inner-city rooftop bar. The cocktail list is ever-changing and the excellent city skyline views don’t cost a thing.
The Aviary Rooftop Bar
Bar
Go for delicious cocktail pitchers, classic pub-style fare and mostly Australian beers at one of Perth’s largest rooftop bars. Plus, there's often live music and DJ sets on the weekend.
The Standard
Restaurant
Find a lush, fairy-lit wine garden and rooftop bar atop this soaring cityside warehouse. It’s an excellent choice for warm evenings, with a beverage in your hand and great views of the sun setting over the city skyline.

Bar
18 storeys up, this rooftop bar offers classic cocktails, local seafood and breathtaking skyline views. Bask in the sun with kingfish sashimi, crumbed snapper sandwiches and crispy Korean fried cauliflower.
