Seattle is known for many things: its rainy weather, its thriving music scene, and, of course, its numerous rooftop patio bars. Yes, you read that right. Seattle’s rooftop patio bars are a must-visit, providing stunning views of the city’s skyline and delicious drinks to enjoy. But some of these rooftop patio bars take things to a whole new level of absurdity. Here are 10 real rooftop patio bars in Seattle that will leave you wondering how they even exist.

1. Frolik Kitchen + Cocktails: This rooftop bar has a “game zone” featuring life-sized Jenga, ping-pong, and even a bocce ball court. It’s like a playground for adults.
   
2. The Nest: Located atop the Thompson Hotel, this rooftop bar has a giant bird’s nest as its centerpiece. Don’t worry, you can’t climb inside it (or maybe that’s a good thing).
   
3. The Mountaineering Club: This bar is located on the 16th floor of the Graduate Hotel and has a rock-climbing wall. Because nothing says “relaxing evening out” like scaling a wall.
   
4. Mbar: This rooftop bar has a 20-foot shipping container as part of its decor. Yes, a shipping container. It’s like industrial-chic gone wild.
   
5. Fog Room: This bar has a giant glass dome that opens up to the sky. It’s like drinking in a snow globe, but without the snow (or the shaking).
   
6. The Patio at 1000: This rooftop bar has a massive fire pit in the middle of it. Because nothing says “summertime drinks” like sitting around a blazing inferno.
   
7. The Red Lion: This rooftop bar has a mini-golf course on it. Because what’s more fun than hitting a tiny ball into a tiny hole while tipsy and trying not to fall off the roof?
   
8. The Thompson Seattle: This rooftop bar has a giant yellow umbrella as part of its decor. It’s like being transported to a tropical island, but without the actual warmth.
   
9. The Nest at the Graduate: This rooftop bar has a giant mural of a woman’s face that looks like it’s watching you no matter where you sit. It’s like having a creepy art installation as your drinking buddy.
   
10. The Mountaineering Club at the Graduate: This rooftop bar has a giant fake mountain as part of its decor. Because if you can’t climb a real mountain, why not drink next to a fake one?
    

Whether you’re looking to play a round of mini-golf, climb a wall, or just relax by a fire pit, these rooftop bars have got you covered.
