Alpenglow Restaurant

Stunning views, good friends, great vibes and delicious food – there’s nothing better than spending an afternoon or evening at a great rooftop restaurant. No matter the season, a meal is always better with a skyline vista or a view of the mountains (especially if there are igloos and heat lamps in the colder climates). We’ve looked at the best rooftop restaurants in every state in the US using a mix of Yelp reviews, Google trend analysis and word of mouth. See the full list below to see which rooftop restaurant we found in your state!

Colorado

Linger

2030 W 30th Ave
Denver, CO 80211
(303) 993-3120

Connecticut

Sign of the Whale

6 Harbor Point Rd
Stamford, CT 06902
(203) 883-8282
With Stamford’s first rooftop bar and a view of the Atlantic, Sign of the Whale could just sell oysters and drinks and call it a day.  But they made a great effort to round out a full, mouthwatering menu with chef focused fare like whipped local ricotta, veal ricotta meatballs, beef empanadas, and New York strip steak, along with delicious burgers and pizzas.  Along with the mouthwatering dishes they offer, they also have Adult Juice Boxes (in capri sun style pouches), Bacardi Buckets (16 oz smoking cocktails complete with a popsicle) and custom shots for those looking to turn your regular old night into a party.

Florida

Juvia

1111 Lincoln Rd
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 763-8272
When you’re in Miami, you’re always in a Sunshine state.  That’s why when you’re making lunch or dinner reservations, you’ve got to go to Juvia, where you can get a sunny view of Miami’s skyline (plus there’s plenty of shade if you’ve already been cooked like a lobster at the beach).  The menu takes a high end approach to seafood with dishes like Sashimi grade seared tuna, Hamachi caviar and whole lobster in umi butter, but don’t let the fancy names put fear in your wallet – they also do a $49 three course dinner with items like their crispy pork belly, pan seared salmon and tiramisu.


Georgia

9 Mile Station

675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE
Atlanta, GA 30308

Illinois

Aba

302 N Green St 3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60607
