Sometimes, food and cocktails are just better with elevation

In Houston, rooftop bars offer something for everyone — there are epic dance parties with DJs, romantic evenings under the stars, and picturesque skyline views with a buzzing atmosphere. Though pleasant spring temps make for the perfect time to enjoy a rooftop, summer days on these sky-high patios can feel like the perfect staycation under the sun. Add in playful cocktails and mouthwatering eats, and it’s all the more reason to bounce from rooftop to rooftop. Whatever the occasion, consider one of these rooftop destinations for bites and booze with stellar views.
