Rooftop Bars in Clearwater Beach

1. Bar Tiki

Not only is Bar Tiki one of the best rooftop bars in Clearwater Beach, but it’s also one of the best bars in the area period! Its marina location makes it the perfect spot to grab a drink before heading out on one of your Clearwater Beach activities—or just to kick back and soak up the fun atmosphere. I always recommend this one for girls’ weekends and bachelorette parties!

The drinks here are next-level. If you can’t decide what to order, go for the “Pick Your Poison,” where the bartender surprises you with something amazing—Savannah made us one of the best drinks I’ve had in a while! But if you’d rather choose your own adventure, they’ve got everything from classic mojitos and mai tais to a black margarita and spiked Dole whip.

With games like cornhole and Connect 4, plus a Hawaiian-inspired food menu if you get hungry, Bar Tiki is such a fun and lively spot to hang out!

2. The Deep End

The Deep End is one of the newer rooftop bars on the scene, and I am obsessed. It’s located on the 11th-floor rooftop of the AC Hotel and has such a sleek, modern vibe with the most stunning views of the Intracoastal!

Their cocktail menu is top-tier, and the atmosphere is perfect for catching one of Clearwater Beach’s iconic sunsets.

3. Jimmy’s on the Edge

Whether you’re taking in the Gulf or the cityscape of Clearwater Beach, Jimmy’s on the Edge has some of the best panoramic sights in town. If you’re there around 9 PM, they pass out free Fireball shots and everyone cheers together! I’m not much of a Fireball girl myself, but you’ll definitely catch me sipping on a mango pina colada while soaking up the vibes.

They also have bites like sandwiches, salads, and bowls, but if you want a really good meal, head next door to their sister location—easily one of the best restaurants in Clearwater Beach.

4. Jimmy’s Crow’s Nest

Jimmy’s Crow’s Nest is iconic for a reason! With stunning views of Pier 60, it’s the perfect place to kick back with a drink and watch the sunset. And they make it extra special with their sunset celebration—everyone gets a free sunset shot to toast as the sun dips below the horizon.

If you’re spending the day at Clearwater Beach, Jimmy’s Crow’s Nest is an easy and convenient stop before heading out for the night. Their punch buckets, nine different types of mules, and frozen drinks make it feel like an instant vacation—whether you’re visiting or just playing tourist for the day!

5. Vue 360

Vue 360 brings a bit more of an upscale feel, but without being too fancy. It’s on the rooftop of the Courtyard Clearwater Beach, and the views of the Gulf and Intracoastal are next level. Their craft cocktails are incredible, trust me and get one of their mezcal cocktails! They were too smooth.
