More Rooftop Ideas
Old Dominick Distillery makes their own whiskey, vodka, bourbon, and gin right here in the heart of downtown Memphis. They offer tours and tastings for $15. The bar is open everyday at Noon. They do have a rooftop bar and patio. The rooftop is accessible at any point but the bar isn't staffed outside of special events. Grab your cocktail and head up to hang out!
Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid offers a $8 ($5 for kids) elevator ride to the top of the 28-story pyramid with observation decks. While it’s not where I would hang out for drinks, it’s worth the price at least once to take in the city from the tippy top.
The Overland in Germantown is a lot like the Terrace's rooftop space. There is a large completely in-doors dining space and bar with a limited seating patio rooftop overlooking the Thornwood shopping and dining area.
Ghost River Beale Street Taproom has a deck, birds nest kind of space that overlooks their massive outdoor beer garden and stage plus offers perfect views of the downtown skyline. On busy days there's a bar open there too with a TV to enjoy a game.
Beale Street Landing a literal grassy knoll that’s technically the roof of the building, and it’s got a great view of the river and sunset. Stroll on down the lawn to Tom Lee Park for more ground level but breathtaking views of the river.
