Ten Rooftop Bars in Mexico City with Incredible Views

Mexico City sprawls across a volcanic valley ringed by mountains, and there's no better way to appreciate this breathtaking setting than from a rooftop bar. Whether you're chasing sunsets, people-watching, or simply savoring a mezcal margarita above the urban buzz, these sky-high spots deliver views and vibes in equal measure.

Perched on the 38th floor of the Sofitel, Cityzen offers stunning panoramic views of the Angel of Independence along the elegant Reforma Avenue.

The golden angel practically glows at sunset, and the tree-lined boulevard stretches out below like something from a postcard. Inside and out, the vibe is sophisticated without being stuffy; French-Mexican fusion cuisine meets expertly crafted cocktails.

Supra Roma

Fourteen floors up in the bohemian Roma Norte neighborhood, Supra Roma features sweeping 360-degree views that make it one of the most scenic spots to grab a drink.

Giant cacti dot the terrace, and cozy lounge areas invite you to sink in and stay awhile. The menu blends Mexican and Middle Eastern flavors, and there's even a hookah bar for good measure.

Terraza Cha Cha Chá

Overlooking Plaza de la República, Terraza Cha Cha Chá offers a direct line of sight to the Monumento a la Revolución with mountains and cityscape stretching beyond. String lights, tropical plants, and a laid-back crowd make this spot feel like a neighborhood hangout, albeit one with killer views.

The menu leans into Mexican seafood, often with bone marrow esquites, aguachile, and seafood tostadas that taste even better when you're gazing out at the sunset.

Miralto

On the 41st floor of the Latin American Tower, Miralto offers panoramic and unobstructed views over the four cardinal points of the city, including the Zócalo, Reforma, and even distant neighborhoods. It's one of the highest perches in town, and the sense of being above it all is delightful.

The restaurant serves modern Mexican cuisine from breakfast to late night, while the bar pours creative cocktails and offers a solid wine list. Live jazz often fills the air, adding just the right soundtrack to your sky-high experience.

Found on the fourth floor of the spectacular Art Deco Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico, this terrace has a view of the Zócalo as good as any bar in the city. You'll see the Palacio Nacional and the Metropolitan Cathedral spread out before you.

The mezcalitas and margaritas are pricey but tasty, and if you opt for the breakfast buffet or brunch, you can linger longer while soaking in the historic scenery. Bonus: the hotel's famous Tiffany stained-glass ceiling is right downstairs.

Terraza Catedral

Located right behind Mexico City's stunning Metropolitan Cathedral and a block away from the Zócalo, Terraza Catedral is surprisingly affordable despite its prime location. The rooftop sits atop the Mundo Joven Hostel, which keeps the crowd young and energetic, especially on weekends when live bands and DJs perform.

Weekdays are quieter, ideal for scoring a seat with a view. Order a virgin mojito and guacamole, sit back, and enjoy one of the city's best people-watching perches without breaking the bank.

Toledo Rooftop is a trendy and relaxed venue in the vibrant Colonia Juarez, offering stunning views of Castillo de Chapultepec and the Paseo de la Reforma skyline.

By day, it's a chill restaurant serving Mexican cuisine with a modern twist; by night, it transforms into a lively lounge with nightclub vibes and a DJ spinning tracks. The bohemian-chic terrace blends greenery with mood lighting, and the crowd is friendly and fun.

Downtown Hotel Terrace Bar

On top of the luxury boutique Downtown Hotel in Centro Histórico, this rooftop terrace works both as a pool area for hotel guests and a trendy bar where anyone can relax with cocktails and fine views over the surrounding heritage buildings.

Yellow sun loungers, comfy lounge sofas, and lush awnings create a modern, laid-back vibe. A live DJ usually pumps beats, and the crowd skews vibrant. The cocktail list is extensive, and the Mexican bites pair nicely with sundowners.

La Azotea Cantina

Perched above the hip Barrio Alameda, La Azotea offers an incredible view of the main park, Alameda Central, the oldest municipal park in the city. This lively cantina specializes in modern Mexican street food with a cocktail menu featuring plenty of tequila and mezcal-based drinks. The terrace is lush and inviting, with a gazebo and open-air seating that make it feel like a garden in the sky.

The central cocktail bar is as attractive as it is skilled, serving varied and creative drinks alongside an excellent selection of Mexican and international wines. The food menu offers starters, prime cuts, seafood, and cold cuts, plus desserts that are both delicious and decorative.
