Summer just isn’t summer without a great drink in your hand and a view from a rooftop patio. Although Edmonton doesn’t have many well-known rooftop patios, these are some that are worth visiting. Be sure to grab the best seat in the house and soak in all these incredible views have to offer!
This is a great place to have a lovely glass of champagne, and enjoy the view of the incredible grounds. Situated near Louise McKinney Riverfront Park and the North Saskatchewan River, the views are spectacular. And, with the rich, century-old history of the hotel, this place is definitely a patio you need to sit on at least once each summer.
This rooftop patio has an awesome view of Old Strathcona, amazing cocktails and great patio sofas for lounging -- what more could you want? Oh right, food to go with those cocktails. They have some awesome choices, including achos, wings, steak bites (delish!) and house-made guac and chips.
Located right on Whyte Avenue, this is a fun hang out on a nice summer day or night. They always have fun DJs, music and bartenders to help set the mood. Set yourselves up at one of the tables or on a bench, and take it all in.
With a great view of the downtown core, and plenty of high top tables and seats, CRAFT offers one of the best rooftop patios in the city. And, with more than 100 beers on tap, how can you go wrong? But beware of the crowds in the summer, as this is the place to be.
