Let’s talk rooftop escapes.
If you’ve just wrapped up a home sale or purchase with me—or you’re deep in the decision-making process—sometimes the smartest move you can make is taking a breather. And what better way than with a cocktail, fresh air, and a skyline that reminds you why you love Northern Virginia?

Here are my personal top-rated (and underrated) rooftop bars around NoVA. These spots are perfect for celebrating your move, impressing visiting friends, or just giving yourself a much-needed break from open house hopping.

🔥 Top-Rated Rooftop Spots My Clients Can’t Get Enough Of:

The Perch – Tysons

A lively rooftop bar called "The Perch" bustles with people enjoying drinks, mini golf, and cozy seating under string lights, creating a vibrant, social atmosphere at night.

Think rooftop + mini golf + food trucks + live music. The Perch sits on top of Capital One Center and delivers on every front—views, vibes, and versatility. It's the kind of place I recommend to move-up buyers who want to enjoy the Tysons lifestyle after a smooth close.

Wilson Hardware – Arlington

A chic rooftop bar glows under string lights at twilight, featuring cozy seating, a modern counter lined with bottles, and blue umbrellas creating an intimate, upscale ambiance.

A classic for a reason. This retro-industrial rooftop keeps it cozy with a retractable roof and killer cocktails. If you’re new to the area or want a dependable go-to, this is it.

Coco B’s – Clarendon

A bold and stylish lounge glows with warm amber lighting and a hot pink neon sign reading “pink as f**k!”, creating a vibrant, edgy atmosphere perfect for cocktails and conversation.

Need a mental vacation without the plane ticket? Coco B’s blends bold Caribbean flavors and bright rooftop energy. Perfect spot for post-closing celebrations or “we survived listing week” drinks.

👀 Underrated (But Worth Every Sip) Rooftop Gems:

Rooftop Recess – Arlington

Laid-back and lush, this multi-level spot flies under the radar—but that’s part of the charm. Great for my cost-conscious sellers who want chill vibes after a top-dollar deal.

SYN – Reston

A sleek and modern sign displays the word "SYN" in gold beside an abstract geometric emblem, all set against a dark, textured background with a repeating star pattern and a soft gradient border.

Reston’s first rooftop bar is understated and elevated (without being over-the-top). Tucked above the AC Hotel, SYN is where I send downsizing sellers looking to enjoy more with less. Wagyu sliders + classy cocktails = the right kind of reward.
