Best Rooftop Bars in Barcelona

Guide: Old-City Roofs, Poolside Drinks, and Sunset Tables

Barcelona rooftop bars range from compact cathedral-view terraces to poolside hotel decks and broad panoramic roofs. These ten picks clarify public access, kitchen cutoffs, seasonal hours, and whether the experience is built for lunch, sunset, music, or a later cocktail.

• Terraza de ViviTerraza de Vivi sits above Kimpton Vividora near the cathedral with cocktails, Mediterranean plates, a poolside setting, and old-city roof views. The public bar closes earlier than Barcelona's late-night rooms, making it better for lunch or sunset than a final drink.
• The Roof at The Barcelona EDITIONThe Roof overlooks Santa Caterina Market from the Barcelona EDITION, combining Latin American-influenced food, cocktails, and a poolside terrace. It is a polished central roof with all-day hours, but the kitchen ends before the bar, so plan dinner earlier than midnight drinks.
• Azimuth Rooftop BarAzimuth crowns Almanac Barcelona with cocktails, light Mediterranean food, and a calm terrace close to Passeig de Gràcia. Daily service runs past midnight, giving it more flexibility than seasonal hotel roofs; reserve the best-positioned tables when sunset views matter.
• Mood Rooftop BarMood Rooftop sits on The One Barcelona near La Pedrera, with Mediterranean food, cocktails, and a quieter luxury-hotel setting above Eixample. It opens from noon to midnight, while pool access remains separate from ordinary bar use.
• The Pulitzer TerraceThe Pulitzer Terrace hides above a hotel just off Plaça de Catalunya, with plants, cocktails, light food, and music programming that feels less exposed than the city's panoramic roofs. Weekend daytime openings suit a slower lunch; weekday service starts in the late afternoon.
• La Isabela at Hotel 1898La Isabela looks across Barcelona's old center from Hotel 1898 with cocktails, tapas, loungers, and a poolside terrace. Summer service runs from noon to midnight with the kitchen ending at 11:00 PM; rain moves service indoors rather than guaranteeing an exposed roof.
• Tope at The Hoxton PoblenouTope brings Mexican tacos, frozen margaritas, and a poolside roof to The Hoxton in Poblenou. It trades old-city monuments for open views and a social hotel crowd; the kitchen closes at 10:00 PM even though the terrace continues for another hour.
• Rooftop Ohla BarcelonaOhla Barcelona's roof has a glass-sided pool, cathedral-area views, cocktails, and a more intimate footprint than the large panoramic decks. Non-guest hours differ by day, so Friday and Saturday afternoons provide the longest public window.
• La Terraza del CentralLa Terraza del Central sits above Grand Hotel Central with an infinity-pool edge and direct views toward the Gothic Quarter. Public terrace service runs from noon to 10:00 PM, with the kitchen opening an hour later; this is a daytime and sunset roof, not a late bar.
• 360° Terrace at Barceló RavalBarceló Raval's circular roof gives a true 360-degree look across the old city, Montjuïc, and the port edge. Public terrace access runs through the day and evening, while special sunset events and bar programming follow the hotel's dated experience calendar.
