12 Best Rooftop Bars in Tbilisi

The name comes from the wine cellar under the building, hidden from the sun for centuries, and the part you want is the terrace above it. It's a Georgian kitchen on Gorgasali Square, rated 4.8 across 4,829 Google reviews, with a listed price range of 20 to 60 GEL. Come here when half the group wants a proper Georgian dinner and the other half wants to eat outside. The listing marks rooftop seating and recommends booking for dinner, so ask for a terrace table when you call. Reservations are free.

Some rooftops close when the kitchen does, but this one runs 7 PM to 5 AM, 7 nights a week. It's a lounge bar with hookah and a terrace pointed straight at the city, rated 4.8 across 2,584 Google reviews. One reviewer calls it beautiful at sunset and beautiful again once it gets dark, and the same review puts the food selection small and the prices above average. So come for the drinks and the view rather than for dinner. It takes reservations, and dogs are welcome.

The balcony is the whole point, and 49 reviews say so. Nilo is a women-owned art cafe and bar on Vertskhli St, 4.8 from 400 Google reviews, with antique furniture inside and a chestnut tree over the tables outside. One reviewer followed a stray dog down an alley and found jazz coming off the upper terrace. It's family-friendly, dogs come inside, and the listing marks it an LGBTQ+ friendly and transgender safe space. Doors open at 10 AM, so it's a breakfast rooftop as much as an evening one.

You will count the steps on the way up, and there are 144 of them. What's at the top is a terrace over the old town and a gallery of theatre puppets and paintings. The view gets named in 284 reviews, and the listing sits at 4.6 from 1,207. One reviewer rates the food good rather than outstanding and a little pricey, and puts that down to paying for the view. It's open 12 PM to midnight, and you can book a table online before you make the climb.

One reviewer sums it up as an Irish bar that serves smoked barbecue meat, which is a fair description of a rooftop nobody expects on Aghmashenebeli. The bar runs over 2 floors with a stage and a terrace above it, and the meat is smoked in the bar's own smoker. Live music runs Thursday to Friday and turns up in 58 reviews, and the screens stay on for the football. It opens at 3 PM daily and runs to 3 AM on Friday and Saturday. Phone ahead for a table.

From the terrace you can hear street musicians playing Georgian music in the street below. Rezidenco Terrace is a lounge bar on Gorgasali Street with a panoramic view of the old town, a hookah menu the owners call wide, and a 4.7 rating from 251 Google reviews. It opens at 6 PM and closes at 2 AM every night, so this is either the first drink of the evening or the last one. Either way, the view is doing most of the work here.

You'll need a phone call and a lift to the 8th floor before anyone pours you a glass here. Bina N37 is a flat in Vake-Saburtalo, and its listing says the wine comes from 43 qvevri on the roof veranda. Reservations are required, and wine shows up in its review topics 35 times against 3 for khinkali. Come here when you want the wine explained and the night to run long. It opens 7 to 11 PM daily, so ring 1 or 2 days ahead.

Dessert outranks the view here, and it isn't close: its Google listing counts desserts 47 times against 4 for the view. Tiffany is a restaurant, bar and terrace on Mari Brose Street, with big windows facing the old town and Mtatsminda. Its own description promises live music events, and 9 review topics mention them. It suits a long lunch or an early dinner with a view, less so a late night. Doors open at 11:50 AM and close at 11:45 PM, or midnight on Saturdays.

A programme, not a playlist. The listing goes from live sets and sunset electronica to house and ambient into the early hours. It's on top of the Telegraph Hotel on Rustaveli Avenue, and the world's first rooftop to trade under the Rolling Stone name. Bring the friend who wants one good sundowner and no fixed plan for afterwards. Breakfast is listed 8 to 11 AM, but the doors stay open until 1 AM and the evening is what it's built for.

The bar here is a Volkswagen van, parked on the 5th floor of the ibis Styles Tbilisi Center with Freedom Square below. The cocktails and the view are the reason to come up, and they're also where the plan should stop: reviews from September 2025 report 60-minute waits and plates arriving cold. Come here for a couple of rounds at a rooftop table rather than for dinner. The bar is open 4 PM to 1 AM and the kitchen stops at 12:30 AM.

Sky7 is the rooftop you pick for a couch and a hookah rather than for a cocktail programme. It sits above Vakhtang Gorgasali Street with glass around the perimeter, which keeps the wind off a 360 degree view of the city. The food is a side order here. The terrace is the point, so keep dinner light and the evening long. The hours are 5 PM to 2 AM, and one reviewer says you'll want to book a week ahead.

No rooftop bar in Tbilisi sits higher, by its own listing. Weather Report is on the 37th floor of the Pullman at Axis Towers, 147 metres up, with a new signature cocktail poured each week. Its 4 rating from 172 reviews is about the service, not the view. You're here for the altitude and 2 cocktails, not a long dinner. It runs 5 PM to 2 AM and shuts on Sundays, so a Sunday plan needs another roof.
