6 Gorgeous Rooftop Bars To Book For Date Night This September

While the sun still shines you'll catch us checking out these rooftops, cocktail in hand.

September has landed and although it’s a month that marks the end of summer in our eyes, that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to enjoy the outdoor life, right?

Granted we might be packing a cardigan to wear instead of the factor 50, but while there’s still a light breeze and a little heat in the sun, you can be sure we’ll be enjoying drinks with a view from one of these gorgeous rooftop bars located around Ireland.

With plenty to choose from, we narrowed it down to six of our favourite spots that are guaranteed to make your date night – be it with that special someone or a catch up with your pals.

These popular spots are also definitely worth booking if you’re thinking in advance and the perfect way to cheers to summer 2021 as we see it out on a high… from a high.

Located in both Dublin and Cork, The Dean is a favourite for those looking for some good grub with a view. Serving breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, there’s always a seat waiting at The Dean for you and your loved ones, plus both hotels have a range of divine and kitted rooms if you happen to make it an overnight stay.

(P.S The Dean is opening soon in Galway too!)

The Marker Hotel – The Rooftop Bar and Terrace 

On a clear evening it’s the ultimate spot for watching the sunset. The luxury five star Marker Hotel has one of the best rooftops in Dublin for when glam cocktails, sharing platters and scenic views are on the cards. The perfect location for an event or simply, a night *slightly* away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, this docklands spot is the place to go.

A small rooftop location, but also a gem of a spot, The Taphouse in Ranelagh, Dublin 6 is a spot that often goes unmentioned. Maybe not the first rooftop that’d spring to mind when you think about the variety on offer in Dublin, but certainly not one to forget. With its cosy setting, delish menu, great staff and nice drinks, it’s a winner in our eyes.
