When you feel like having a drink where the breeze is cool and the view stretches for miles, book a trip to Jamaica.

And once you're in Jamaica, check out one of the island's top rooftop bars.

You’ll find relaxed spots for quiet catch-ups and livelier settings with DJs and full dinner menus.

Some are perched above busy Kingston streets, while others overlook the coastline in Montego Bay.

Whatever the mood, these rooftops give you a fresh way to enjoy the island after dark—no fuss, just good drinks, good food, and a different kind of scene.

The District 5 Sky Lounge at R Hotel, Kingston

Located in the heart of New Kingston, the District 5 Sky Lounge offers one of the best rooftop dining experiences in Jamaica.

The menu leans toward small plates and sushi, and the cocktails have a modern twist, often made with local ingredients.

Things tend to pick up on Friday and Saturday nights when the DJ comes in.

It’s a nice spot to meet up with friends, celebrate something special, or just get a different view of the city after dark.

The dress code leans trendy, so it doesn’t hurt to show up looking sharp.

The Rooftop at 100

100 Hope Road in Kingston blends casual lounge seating with a proper dance floor, especially once the DJ starts spinning.

Expect a lively mix of dancehall, reggae, Afrobeats, and throwback hits, especially on themed party nights.

The rooftop is open-air, with room to move, mingle, or just enjoy the music.

It’s popular with both locals and visitors, so the crowd is usually a good mix.

If you’re in the mood for nightlife with some edge and elevation, this spot delivers.

Martinis on the Roof, Couples Tower Isle, Ocho Rios

If you're staying at Couples Tower Isle in Ocho Rios, set a reminder for this one.

Martinis on the Roof isn’t your usual rooftop bar; it’s a curated cocktail event held twice a week, Sundays and Thursdays from 6 to 9 PM.

The setup is intimate, with staff setting the tone through music and warm hospitality.

You’ll get sweeping coastal views and a handpicked drink menu, all in a refined setting that’s part of the resort’s all-inclusive charm.

Since it’s not open every night, plan if you want to catch it during your stay.

Elevate Lounge, Montego Bay

Elevate Lounge is strictly reserved for private events like bridal showers, birthday dinners, and team retreats.

The setting is modern, open-air, and offers views of the city, but you’ll need to plan a special occasion to enjoy it.

While that limits casual visits, it’s a good option if you're organizing a group celebration and want something more exclusive in Montego Bay.
