Top Rooftop Bars in Huntsville

1. Baker & Able

Baker & Able, named for the famous monkey astronauts, sits on the top floor of the 106 Jefferson Huntsville, Curio Collection by Hilton hotel. This swanky rooftop bar overlooks Downtown Huntsville. They have indoor and outdoor seating with views of the rolling mountains and church steeples.

The bar serves high-class craft cocktails and small plates. Their bartenders wear white lab coats and use beakers to create your drink to fully embrace the scientist vibe in honor of the famous monkeynauts.

I recommend the E=N2O or The Able (don’t you love how all their cocktails are appropriately space-themed!).

2. Pourhouse

The Pourhouse at Stovehouse was Huntsville’s first rooftop bar. Grab a handcrafted cocktail or craft beer from the round bar in the lounge downstairs and head up to the rooftop overlooking the live music area.

You can also grab food from one of the amazing options around Stovehouse, play a game of foot-pool, or play some bocce ball all located around the patio area below.

I recommend the Pourhouse Punch or their Bourbon Berry Smash.

3. Stella’s Elixir Lounge

Grab a drink at Stella’s Elixir Lounge — there’s plenty of space at their 4,000 square foot lounge that transitions from a swanky indoor bar to open air, rooftop seating around cozy fire pits. The space flows from the rooftop patio overlooking Holmes Avenue to the indoor seating and long bar to a covered patio out back.

Their rooftop patio has semi-private cabanas, cozy couches, and classic cocktails. They have featured elixirs during their happy hour Sunday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

I recommend their Caramel Apple Mule or The Elixir.

4. Rhythm on Monroe

Rhythm on Monroe at the Von Braun Center has indoor dining, outdoor patio dining, and a rooftop bar. Their rooftop is the perfect place to hang out before catching a show! While the rooftop bar doesn’t provide a ton of view, there are a few seating options that look out to Big Spring Park. They also have cozy fire pits and comfy seating to add to the ambiance.

We loved their delicious array of fun cocktails! For food, the rooftop bar only serves a limited appetizer menu, so I recommend heading down to the dining room for a great dinner in Downtown Huntsville.

I recommend the Back In Blackberry Mojito, the Bees Knees, or the Passion In Paradise.

5. BarVista at AC Hotel

BarVista is located on the second floor of the AC Hotel in Downtown Huntsville, so it’s not exactly a rooftop, but it still offers the same secluded vibes, open-air seating, and great views. From BarVista, you can get unparalleled views of Big Spring Park and Downtown Huntsville.

You can indulge in delicious sharables, Spanish classics, and unique craft cocktails on their elevated terrace.

They don’t have a cocktail menu, so just go with your gut. I got a beautiful Tequila Sunrise, and they also do a good Margarita.

6. Moe’s Original BBQ

The Moe’s Original BBQ in Downtown Huntsville serves its award-winning smoked BBQ with Alabama white sauce on two rooftop terraces with rollup doors and full bars.

Get your classic Southern BBQ with a side of live music, bingo, and trivia events while you watch the sunset from this casual rooftop bar in Huntsville.

From this rooftop restaurant, I recommend the Smoked Chicken Sandwich or the Combo Platter with any two smoked meats of your choice.

127 Holmes Ave NW, Huntsville, AL 35801

7. The Martin Bar & Bistro

Fried Chicken at The Martin Bar & Bistro, Huntsville, Alabama

Okay, so The Martin Bar & Bistro isn’t exactly a rooftop bar either, but with it’s roll-up window, open-air seating, it has the same vibe. This bar and restaurant overlooking Washington Street is housed in the old Martin Theatre, a movie theater that when it opened had the largest indoor screen in Alabama. The Martin is located in the theater’s old projection room.

It’s a small space with limited seating and a large island bar. Their menu features a lot of vodka-centric cocktails, beer on tap, and classic American and Southern food. When the weather is nice, they’ll roll up the large garage doors on the front wall for the perfect view of the bustling downtown street below.

I recommend the Southern Fried Chicken and the Fruity Pebble to drink.

116 Washington St SE, Huntsville, AL 35801

8. Prohibition Restaurant + Bar

Prohibition Restaurant + Bar is Huntsville’s newest rooftop bar to hit the scene. The rooftop bar opened in 2022 at Town Madison by the new Toyota Field.

A nod to the classic 1920’s, Prohibition Restaurant + Bar is a modern restaurant with a downstairs lounge and a rooftop bar with beautiful views and live music.
