12 rooftop bars around the world with panoramic panache
There’s something instantly uplifting about rooftop bars. Perhaps it’s the fresh air, perhaps it’s the wraparound views, perhaps it's the I-could-almost-be-on-holiday feel or perhaps it’s the sheer pleasure at having escaped the working world down below. Whatever the reason, as anyone who has ever hit the rootftop knows, basking in the sun (or better yet, watching it go down), or taking in a city by night, cocktail in hand beats terrestrial bars, however stylishly assembled, any day. Here are a few high performers sure to give you a fresh perspective.

The Miami rooftop bars keeping us in high spirits
In many ways, Miami’s charms – dominated principally by a culture of beach and sea – are best experienced on the ground level. Less expected though is the heady experience of floating, figuratively speaking, over the landscape, inevitably in an aerie atop a hotel building. And with a chilled drink in hand and the stopwatch set for sunset, the moment is, as they say, priceless. Herewith, our pick of the best rooftop bars in Miami.

Hidden gems: the best Los Angeles secret bars and how to find them
In Los Angeles, it’s the inside that counts – at least when it comes to bars. With seemingly nondescript exteriors hiding more style than their innocuous doorways suggest, these watering holes contain all the excitement of an unexpected find, with some adding social-media defying cell phone bans. But don’t expect only Prohibition-era clichés behind the frisson of secrecy. At these updated speakeasies, nostalgia for time past draws on much wider range of recent memories.
