Some of Nashville's best views come from its sky-high rooftop patios. Whether it’s a chic Mediterranean escape framed by a sparkling infinity pool or a funky lawn space retrofitted with a 1956 Scenicruiser, there’s no shortage of rooftop spots to soak up the Music City scene.

Denim

The Joseph is home to one of the chicest rooftops in the city: Denim. With a glittering pool, luxuriant cabanas and a lavish plant wall sitting 21 stories above the city, it’s the perfect place to watch the sunset with a bubbly spritz and a cadre of Italian apps like panzanella, bruschetta, and Margherita pies. 401 Korean Veterans Blvd., thejosephnashville.com/denim

Harriet's Rooftop

Woodsy and lush, Harriet’s Rooftop on the 19th floor of the 1 Hotel is an elevated spot to recline under twinkling lights and gently flickering fire pits while sipping on artfully curated drinks like shishito margaritas and rose petal spritzes. Round out the night with a few Japanese-inspired light bites like the okonomiyaki tots, Wagyu crispy rice, and several varieties of bao buns. 710 Demonbruen St., 1hotels.com/nashville

L.A. Jackson

Situated on the top floor of the Thompson Nashville in the Gulch, this indoor-outdoor bar knows how to turn the party up during the day and night. The raucous weekend brunch–with glitter chicken tenders and large-format drinks–is the precursor to a DJ-fueled melange of locals and visitors mingling into the night. 401 11th Ave. S, lajacksonbar.com

Rivière

Taking a cue from the French Riviera, the Four Seasons Euro-chic rooftop Rivière is an expansive deck with an infinity pool rushing over the Cumberland River below. Expect house lounge beats, hand-crafted cocktails and juices, and Mediterranean-inspired bites like harissa chicken lollipops and Greek pita nachos. 100 Demonbreun St., fourseasons.com/nashville

Rooftop Lounge at Bobby Nashville

The Bobby's rooftop is a laid-back, funky hang with yard games, umbrella-shaded picnic tables, and the occasional pickleball match on its sprawling Astroturf. Kick back on one of the poolside loungers with a draft cocktail and some lobster empanadas, or take it inside the 1956 Scenicruiser bus that’s also parked on the rooftop. 230 4th Ave. N, bobbyhotel.com/nashville

Rare Bird

Nestled atop Noelle, the intimate Rare Bird overlooks downtown Nashville with al fresco views of the city and the feel of a cozy outdoor living room. If you’re with a small group, order the hummus or the addictive truffle and parmesan fries and take advantage of the refreshing cocktails on the menu that can be turned into large-format drinks serving four. 200 4th Ave. N, rarebirdrooftop.com

The Pool Club at Virgin Hotels Nashville

Take it poolside at the Virgin Hotel, where red-and-white striped umbrellas and cozy cabanas set the scene for an afternoon or night sipping umbrella drinks from 14 stories up. Live music and DJs pop in the evening for a laid-back, lounge-y vibe. 1 Music Sq West, virginhotels.com/nashville
