Perched above 2nd Avenue in downtown Seattle, this is more of a unique terrace than a traditional rooftop patio. That being said, it’s hard to deny Fog Room from earning a spot on this list. The modern-chic decor is gorgeous, the downtown views are stunning, and the food and drink menus are insanely good. Enjoy!

Where: 1610 2nd Ave
Hours: Tuesday-Sunday 5 pm-11 pm

Get a little boujee and hit the top shelf of Seattle rooftop bars/patios with a visit to The Nest. Come for the views, stay for the cocktails, and leave because you’re broke (like us), or stay a little longer ‘cuz you’re flush with cash. Either way, you’ll enjoy the delicious menu and the stunning views.

Where: Thompson Seattle, 110 Stewart Street
Hours: Tuesday-Thursday 5 pm-10 pm, Friday & Saturday 3 pm-11 pm, Sunday 5 pm-10 pm

Agua Verde


This spot is unique for a few reasons. Firstly it’s right on the water and has a great outdoor patio.  Secondly, you can actually rent kayaks and paddleboards here. So grab some eats and drinks and hit the lake afterward. It’ll be a fun and tasty experience you won’t soon forget.

Where: 1303 NE Boat Street
Hours: Sunday-Thursday 9 am-8 pm, Friday & Saturday 9 am-9 pm

Brimmer and Heeltap

This Ballard spot has a beautiful back patio and garden area that just so happens to be covered. So if you’re looking to enjoy a delicious menu with PNW ingredients this spot is a great choice. And while it might not be the kind of view you’d normally associate with patios, you can’t beat garden dining.
