Atmosphere Rooftop Bar

Located on the eighth floor of the regal Ritz-Carlton Vienna, Atmosphere Rooftop Bar is home to breathtaking vistas of Vienna’s skyline and cocktails that match the view. Open in April each year, and staying open through the warm summer months (the schedule can vary due to weather), Atmosphere Rooftop Bar is one of the chicest spots in town to come for a sundowner surrounded by landmarks of this historic city on the Danube. The majestic steeples of St. Stephen’s Cathedral and rolling hills in the distance are two of the most prominent sights you’ll lay your eyes on from the terrace, but once you glance at the cocktail menu, you’ll be just as impressed. Bubbly cocktails that pair perfectly with celebrating a romantic sunset on a terrace are the standard at Atmosphere, with combinations like the Champagne Julep – champagne, bourbon, mint, sugar, and house crafted bitters – and the Solero Punch – champagne, premium gin, jasmine, passionfruit, lime, peach, and orange – being two of the most sparkly stars. In addition, long drinks like the Sunshine Cobbler (with citrus vodka, raspberry, honey, and cranberry), refreshing white wines, and a full range of spritzes and refreshing mocktails also show off the bar staff’s prowess and will definitely keep you cool when the temperature rises. The fun doesn’t end when winter arrives, as Atmosphere is also home to a cozy Christmas market complete with chalets serving mulled wine and other warm cocktails.
