Whether they be full of partiers into the early hours of the morning or friends meeting up to chat over drinks, rooftop bars in Paris live up to the prestige of their title. Each rooftop bar has its own unique view of Paris and with INSIDR’s top 5 picks, the collective views make up almost the entire cityscape. If you’re looking for somewhere to go out at night but don’t want to miss out on Parisian architecture or sights at dusk, here’s where to find the best rooftop bars Paris has to offer.
Top rooftop bars in Paris #1 Ice Cube Bar at Galleries Lafayette
Fancy having a cocooned happy hour overlooking the panorama of Paris? Mount on the top of Galeries Lafayette and enjoy your champagne in the Arctic-styled igloos! They also offer tapas & classy munchies such as oysters and foie gras to pair up with your bubbly get-together time.

Top rooftop bars in Paris #2 KONG
Atop a Haussmannian building overlooking the historic Pont Neuf, the futuristic dome of KONG provides visitors in any seat a panoramic view of Paris. While the restaurant is on the top level and the bar on the 5th floor, why not have dinner overlooking the Seine followed by drinks in the modern bar? Every Thursday night there is a DJ from 9pm-2am and on Friday and Saturday nights the bar becomes a club with doors opening at 11pm. The atmosphere of both the restaurant and bar is cosmopolitan, yet edgy. The bar serves everything from brightly colored cocktails to detox non-alcoholic drinks, that we at INSIDR highly recommend, especially the delicious cranberry Elixir Detox. KONG has hosted many high-profile events and even shot film scenes in their restaurant, so don’t miss out on getting your photo taken there too!

Insidr’s favourite rooftop bar in Paris – Le Perchoir
Le Perchoir is a rooftop bar with three locations in Paris: the Marais, atop the Gare de l’Est and in the 11th arrondissement. Each location will provide you with a different atmosphere, different Parisians to interact with and most importantly, different views of Paris. Le Perchoir is our INSIDR’s team top choice for sipping a crafted cocktail and enjoying a relaxing evening looking at the Eiffel Tower or Hôtel de Ville, the Gare de l’Est central window or Parisian apartment buildings.
