Small but stylish with one of the best views on this list, Carpathia sits on top of 30 James Street Hotel. The decor is toned down, and the Liver Building is close you’ll feel like you can reach it. But don’t actually try to, obviously. At the time of writing, the website says the bar is closed, so be sure to check before you make the journey. But when it’s open, the views are the perfect backdrop for sipping bubbly.

Panoramic 34

Where: 34th Floor, West Tower, Brook Street, L3 9PJ, Liverpool

Admittedly Panoramic 34 isn’t really a rooftop bar as it isn’t on the rooftop. But it is a lovely bar, so we figured we’d add it here and let you decide. And to be fair, it’s probably a good thing that it’s indoors and not on the roof as it’s a whopping 300 ft above sea level on the 34th floor. It's one of the UK's highest restaurants and offers 360 views to enjoy while enjoying a classic cocktail. Even though it technically doesn’t belong on this list, we think it’s earned its place.

Clearly we've got plenty of brilliant Liverpool rooftop bars to choose from. Whether you’re a boujee babe, a sports fan, or love unleashing your competitive side, there's a bar we’re sure you’ll love. Now excuse us as we spend the rest of summer jumping between the best rooftop bars in Liverpool.
