Where can you find the best rooftops in Fort Worth? Some are restaurants, others are bars, some are both ― serving everything from brunch to happy hour and late-night sipping under the stars. If you’re in search of fresh air and an inspiring view, there are plenty of spots to choose from. Check out these 10 stunning rooftop restaurants and bars in Fort Worth.

Rooftop Bar at The Sinclair Hotel

The Sinclair Hotel rooftop
The Sinclair Hotel rooftop has some of the most stunning views you can find.

Open seasonally on Fridays and Saturdays from 7 pm to -12 am, this is one of Fort Worth’s most epic rooftop retreats. After all, the Art Deco architecture of the Sinclair Hotel carries all the way up to the top, so the epic space is wrapped by period details, offering up amazing views.

Wabi House

Wabi House covered second story patio
Wabi House is a true izakaya style experience with a relaxed covered second story patio.

This remains one of the best izakaya (Japanese small plates) and ramen restaurants in the area. Perched on the second floor, Wabi House makes the most of its covered patio, complete with a full bar, dominating happy hour at the corner of Magnolia Avenue. Order an array of fun sharables, from simple edamame to traditional bar bites like karage (fried chicken), gyoza (filled dumplings), and tako yaki (octopus fritters) or yakitori (marinated skewered meats). Wash it down with Japanese-inspired cocktails, beers, or sake.

Annex at Le Meridien

The rooftop lounge at the new Le Meridien is lovely, fitted with a relaxed mid-century aesthetic, with both indoor and patio options. It’s a great place to relax with friends for a casual evening. Elevated signature cocktails join Le Meridien’s popular rose pairings. The menu included French-inspired salads, small plates, and shareables like prosciutto, brie, and honey crostini, and cheese plates.

Freeplay Arcade

Freeplay rooftop bar
Freeplay is a throwback arcade with a killer rooftop bar.

One of Fort Worth’s coolest hangouts is located at 1311 Lipscomb in the Near Southside. As the name implies, Freeplay is an old-school arcade for adults. Along with your favorites like Frogger, Space Invaders, and pinball, you can enjoy the large rooftop deck with a great view of downtown, plus a rotating collection of beers, ciders, and cocktails. Nibbles include Naan bread pizzas, and some silly good sandwiches too.

Atico

Overlooking downtown and The Stockyards Atico
Overlooking downtown and The Stockyards Atico remains unique with its Spanish Tapas menu.

This rare Spanish tapas spot was opened in January 2020 by chef Tim Love atop the SpringHill Suites overlooking the Stockyards. At “the attic” you’ll enjoy a relaxed ambience, along with a true taste of Barcelona’s bar scene. You’ll be tempted by everything on the menu. That’s why you bring friends. Smoked trout dip with cured lemon zest, joins Catalan-style flatbread pizzas, and Iberico Secreto ham is served alongside chimichurri and piri piri sauces. Enjoy an expertly crafted cocktail and a sunset view at one of Fort Worth’s best rooftop bars and restaurants.

The rooftop bar is sumptuous at 714 Main Street. It’s a cozy penthouse lounge with skyline views. Classy cocktail creations like the lavender bees knees, or the Night Cap with Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Cointreau, lemon, egg white, simple syrup, and Luxardo juice await. Nibbles include hearty dry-aged meatballs and jumbo crab smoked salmon dip, at one of the best rooftop bars in Fort Worth.

Quince ― Riverside

Quince makes the most of its riverside location with its second story dining and patio.

Nestled by the river in WestBend, this one made our list of Fort Worth’s 25 Best Patios as well. But the view hits a bit differently from its second-story patio. Originating in San Miguel de Allende, Quince earned the title of the No. 1 Rooftop Restaurant in the World in 2020. Now it has locations in Fort Worth, Austin as well. Warmer months call for a frozen drink, and this is where you’ll find a great selection, including the purple-tinted Horned Frog Mojito.

The Veranda at Loews Arlington Hotel

The newest jewel of Arlington’s Entertainment District, provides a stunning covered patio wrapping the outside of the hotel’s Farena Restaurant. View are expansive, overlooking the wet areas to the lush lawn just beyond. Before or after a game or event, this is the place to be for some light bites and a classy cocktail conversation. It’s open Friday and Saturday evenings from 4 pm to midnight.

Branch & Bird

Branch & Bird
Branch & Bird has boasted this lovely perch since it opened at Frost Tower in 2017.

Perched on the 12th floor of Frost Tower, Branch & Bird has been Fort Worth’s eye in the sky since it opened in 2017. Open from morning coffee through evening cocktails, they even have live music every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Meet after work for the High Rise Happy Hours with specialty libations like the Golden Hour, with bourbon, apricot liqueur, a drizzle of hot honey, and peach bitters, or kick back for a leisurely Saturday brunch.

Tinies Mexican

Tinies rooftop Escondite Bar
Tinies rooftop is the lovely extension of its Escondite Bar with splendid city views.

Downstairs, you’ll enjoy some inspired Mexican cuisine, including some served family style. And, upstairs, you’ll find the red-hued Escondite Bar with its moody vibes and patio views of downtown. The (Mar)TinieTs section of the drink menu includes one called El Sotolero, incorporating owner Sarah Castillo’s other biz ― La Pulga Tequila’s delicious Sotol, celery, bitters, and olive brine, taking a classic martini preparation down South.
