Where to soak in the best views of the city with a cocktail in hand

It’s prime outdoor dining and imbibing season in New Orleans — and that should be shouted from the rooftops, preferably with a cocktail in hand.

With so many new hotels in the Crescent City, several rooftop bars have opened over the years, from Hot Tin in the Ponchartrain to the Pool Club at Virgin Hotels New Orleans, making a one-day staycation easier than ever. For this map, only rooftops open to the public are included (as opposed to guests only). Here are New Orleans’s best rooftops for when drinks calls for a side of stunning views.
