Many have requested a list of the best rooftop bars in Barcelona, and because your wish is my command: here is a list of a few of the best ones! Is there anything better than watching the sunset with a cocktail in your hand? Probably not.

Hotel+Pulitzer+Rooftop+Terrace+Barcelona — *Pulitzer Rooftop Terrace, Barcelona.*

Pulitzer Terrace

All the cool kids gather on the rooftop terrace at the Pulitzer Hotel. There is often live music or a DJ on site adding to the atmosphere, and a BBQ in the evenings.

Carrer Bergara 8 (Plaça Catalunya).

Nobu Rooftop

The newest addition to the rooftops in Barcelona, and quite an impressive one: it’s located on the 23rd floor of the beautiful Nobu hotel. The views are fantastic, and you can enjoy snacks and delicious and elaborate cocktails while you are admiring the city from above.

Av. de Roma, 2, 4, 08014 Barcelona (Sants).

Tope, The Hoxton

Cool, still fairly new Hoxton has a lovely rooftop bar and restaurant called Tope. It has a Mexican flair to it, with tasty tacos and drinks, and of course spectacular views.

Avinguda Diagonal, 205 (Poblenou).

Ayre+Hotel+Rooftop+Terrace+Barcelona — *Terraza Sercotel Rosellón, Barcelona.*

Terraza Sercotel Rosellón

Go here for the most gram-worthy views of the Sagrada Familia, it’s so close you can almost touch it (at least that’s what it feels like!).

Carrer Rosellón 390 (Eixample Dreta).

Yurbban+Trafalgar+Rooftop+Terrace+Barcelona — *Yurbban Trafalgar, Barcelona.*

Yurbban Trafalgar and Passage

Both of these cool hotels have nice rooftop bars, open every day from early afternoon. A relaxing rooftop bar with a pool and views of Ciutat Vella in one of the most attractive hotels in the area.

Carrer Trafalgar 30 (La Ribera).

Dragon Roof Terrace at Casa Batlló

It doesn’t get much more Barcelona than this. On top of a Gaudi building, stunning views, and why not throw in some live music on top of that? The Magic Nights at Casa Batlló is not only for tourists: the experience is very much worth it for residents.

Pg. de Gracia 43 (Eixample Esquerra).

La Pedrera

Almost across the street from Casa Batlló you’ll find La Pedrera, where you also can enjoy balmy evenings to the tunes of live jazz in the summer. 22 concerts, every Thursday and Friday until mid August.

La Pedrera, Pg. de Gràcia, 92 (Eixample Esquerra).

Hotel Villa Emilia

This very charming boutique hotel has a wonderful terrace that offers an oasis from the busy streets. They have two live concerts on the terrace on a weekly basis, and you can enjoy good food (including BBQ) and obviously drinks.

Hotel Villa Emilia, Carrer Calabria 115 (Eixample Esquerra).

Cotton House

While not precisely a rooftop bar, this beautiful 300 m2 also offers terrific food if the weather permits (it usually does, right?). You can both have lunch or dinner here, or just enjoy a nice drink.

Cotton House, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 670, Barcelona (Eixample Dreta).

Purobeach

This urban oasis is the dream: a rooftop bar where you can actually take a dip in the pool, AND sip on a cocktail on a sun bed. There are resident DJ:s, food (lobster rolls anyone?), and good vibes, perfect for enjoying a day in the sun. Purobeach is located in the Hilton Diagonal Mar hotel, but can be accessed by anyone. You can reserve your sun bed here.

Purobeach, Pg. del Taulat, 262, Barcelona (Poblenou).

The Clock

The views from this hotel rooftop terrace are beautiful. It is located right by Plaça Espanya, and at night you can sip on your cocktail and watch the beautiful music and light display at Montjuic. I recommend having dinner at their restaurant Filigrana (read my review here) or Kurai downstairs before, and then head up to the terrace.

The Clock, Plaza de España 6 (8th floor at Hotel Catalonia Barcelona Plaza), Barcelona (Plaça Espanya).

Sir Victor Hotel

Sir Victor Hotel is a five star-studded situation, with a lovely, secluded rooftop bar overlooking some of the most stunning sights in Barcelona. The drinks are elaborate, and the food is interesting: you can book a table here.

Sir Victor Hotel, C/ del Rosselló, 265,Barcelona (Eixample Dreta).

Casa Bonay

No doubt one of the coolest boutique hotels in the city. Their rooftop is open for guests, and they arrange events on a regular basis. The rooftop is called The Chiringuito, and it involves BBQ and wines (book in advance for this).

Casa Bonay, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 700 (Eixample Dreta).

Go Beach Club

While not technically a rooftop bar, the Go Beach Club deserves a mention. This beach club on four levels (the pool is on the bottom floor) has impressive views over the Mediterranean. They organize pool parties, they do bottle service, and they have a range of different day beds and sofas to choose from. Book your visit here.

Go Beach Club, Carrer Port Esportiu, 14P, 08930 Barcelona (Diagonal Mar/Forum).
