Best-of list · Rooftop Guides
The best rooftop bars in Taipei for 2026: Frank, Barcode and The Tavernist, the high-floor rooms we verified open across Xinyi and Da'an this June.
The short answer
4 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
Taipei drinks with Taipei 101 in the frame, and its best high-floor bars treat the skyline as the main pour. This guide covers three rooftop and elevated rooms we could verify as real and open, clustered in Xinyi and Da'an. Several names from older lists could not be confirmed, so they are gone rather than left pointing at a closed door.
Frank takes over the top two floors of the ATT 4 Fun complex in Xinyi, with a balcony that puts Taipei 101 at eye level. DJs run most weekend nights, and the after-9 crowd pushes it close to a nightclub with a view. The cocktail list leans creative and modern. Come at dusk for the photos, then stay as the bass climbs and the tower lights switch on.
Full listing & hours →Barcode sits on the fifth floor of NEO19 in Xinyi, an open-air balcony lounge that has held its spot in Taipei nightlife for years. The crowd dresses up, the DJs lean toward EDM and hip-hop, and the city lights do the rest. Drinks run pricier than street level. Best for a stylish night out with friends rather than a quiet view, so arrive before 10 to skip the line.
The Tavernist rides the 12th floor of the Kimpton Da An hotel, trading a true open roof for floor-to-ceiling views across the Da'an district. The Michelin Guide lists its kitchen, and the bar program matches it with sharp, produce-led cocktails. The room feels more polished than party. Come for an elevated dinner-and-drinks night where the skyline frames the table rather than a loud rooftop crowd.
Full listing & hours →CÉ LA VI Taipei sits on the 48th floor of the Breeze Nanshan tower in Xinyi, with a near 360 degree view that takes in Taipei 101. The sky bar runs late and DJs play Wednesday through Saturday. Order: a cocktail by the windows at dusk. Best time: midweek for a quieter room.
