Eye-Popping Views To Amazing Food: Check Out Our List Of Popular Rooftop Hangouts In The City
Smoke Shack
Sip on your cocktail while you lounge by the pool under the open skies at Radisson’s Smoke Shack. It's easy to not feel time slip by while you enjoy your drink here. Their rooftop seating area is perfect for a date night or a wine & dine party. We absolutely love the elaborately-lit bar area.

The view of the city skyline from here is stunning. You get a bird’s eye view of New Market and can see as far as the Victoria Memorial. With super comfortable seating and a vibe that makes you never want to leave, this place is sure to make you lose track of time. Treat your tastebuds to the kebab platter and terayaki chicken served here and leave the rest to the candle-lit ambiance.
Ozora
The top floor of Acropolis Mall is home to Ozora, a rooftop fine-dining restaurant and lounge. So breezy that you won’t even miss the air-conditioning. With its sky-high location, needless to say, the view is breathtaking. Sit with your date, sip on their special cocktails and watch the sun set into the city skyline. We love their special fruit hookahs. Oh and don’t miss the Moroccan Chicken on the menu.
Zucca Lounge
The white billowing curtains and an all-white decor looks so pinterest-ty. Sit in a cabanna and get a great view of the greenery and open skies. The fairy lights hung across the roof make for a dreamy setting in the evening. Ideal place to catch up with your squad over interesting cocktails and finger food.
What’s Up Cafe
Perfect spot for adda with your gang. Sit back and indulge in pizzas & pina coladas while having conversations that could easily go on for hours given how comfy the seats are! They have some great music playing too if you wish to ditch the claustrophobic night clubs.
Level Seven
A double deck pub-cum-casual dining restaurant, Level Seven serves up global cuisine in their modern chic space. Perched on the 7th floor and spread over two levels, the all side open penthouse is where the fun begins. The giant windows and outdoor space overlook the Maa flyover so you can sip on potent, fizzy cocktails while watching the city drive by. Ever wondered if you could take a bite of a flaming chicken tikka or a pizza engulfed in flames? Well, at Level 7 you can.
The Salt House
An open courtyard space, incredible view, minimal decor, sophisticated European food and voila! You have The Salt House, Kolkata’s finest rooftop dining space. The most loved (Insta-worthy) spot here is a wall dedicated entirely to plants in earthen pots giving the outdoor space an open vibe. If you like your share of Italian, the burnt butter gnocchi is a must-try.
Wise Owl Steakhouse
The laid-back terrace at Wise Owl probably wins the prize for the nicest rooftop terrace in the city. The long, L-shaped alfresco space is peppered with bright and striking owl-themed wall art and posters. It’s a perfect place for breakfast, or to let the afternoon and evening slip by just munching on gigantic burgers and juicy steaks.
Capella - AltAir
Located on the 20th floor of AltAir Boutique Hotel, Capella is a restobar-kitchen-brewery-sky bar. With stunning city views, bite-size gourmet plated delights, in-house DJ, live gigs, a full bar and sumptuous cocktail snack options, this place is sure to appeal to your senses. They have hookah too if you like.
Cafe Offbeat - Up There
Say hello to Cafe Offbeat Up There - a rooftop bar and sunset cafe on EM Bypass (the Offbeat CCU building guys!) that overlooks a lake offering breathtaking views of the city. The sunset views are to die for and, if you're lucky enough, you just might be able to see the moon rising while the sun sets over the horizon! Listen to good music, gorge on a lavish spread, sip on your favourite drink and just relax with your squad.
Club Fenicia
Club Fenicia, we are told, is Asia’s largest luxury lounge. It is so luxe that you have to see it to believe it. For some al fresco feels and panoramic views of the city, head to Mist – the rooftop bar and restaurant. For a one-of-its-kind experience, book one of the private sun house domes and watch the sun go down while enjoying a succulent fare and sipping on your favourite drink. It's also great for a date night.
Cafe Noir
Noir - The Sky Lounge, located inside Golden Tulip Hotel in Sector 1, serves a wide selection of Chinese, North Indian, Italian and Continental food that you just won't be able to get enough of. Sizzlers, dim sums, pasta, pizza, wraps, meals - this rooftop cafe-cum-lounge offers all of this and more that you can choose from.
@49
@49 in Maniktala has a very rustic and earthy vibe to it. The rooftop restaurant boasts of wooden furniture and lots of plants. The side walls and the floor are lined with potted plants. It also makes for a great setting for a romantic night or lunch date with your partner.
The Orient
This place has a charming ambience and offers flavourful Oriental, Asian and Seafood cuisines. The food is definitely great but we also loved the stylish and sophisticated ambience and the seating arrangement.
