Near you in Amsterdam
An Amsterdam rooftop near you depends on your side of the center. SkyLounge and the Mr Porter rooftop sit in the Centrum near the station and Dam Square, Twenty Third Bar takes the high south view from the Okura in De Pijp, Floor 17 covers the west at Westpoort, and Canvas runs late in Oost. Most rate 4.4 to 4.6.
Last reviewed June 28, 2026 ยท How we pick bars
In the centre, SkyLounge by the station and the Mr Porter rooftop near Dam Square give you the skyline, while Hanneke's Boom trades height for a waterfront deck. That is the central run for rooftop bars near me.
South in De Pijp, Twenty Third on the Okura has the widest view if you want to dress up. East in Oost, Canvas on the Volkshotel runs late with DJs, and west at Westpoort, Floor 17 tops the Hilton near the ring. For the full ranked list and hours, follow the deeper guide to the best rooftop bars in Amsterdam.
CENTRUM · $$$ · ROOFTOP BARS
SkyLounge tops the DoubleTree by the central station, so it is the rooftop nearest most arrivals. The terrace runs the length of the building over the IJ. Rated 4.5.
CENTRUM · $$ · ROOFTOP BARS
Hanneke's Boom is the waterfront deck by the centre, more canal-side garden than skyline, and the relaxed central pick. Go for an afternoon by the water. Rated 4.5.
DE PIJP · $$$$ · ROOFTOP BARS
Twenty Third sits on the Hotel Okura's high floor in De Pijp, the south-side rooftop with the widest view. Dress up and book a window. Rated 4.6.
CENTRUM · $$$$ · ROOFTOP BARS
The Mr Porter rooftop crowns the W in the centre, a sharp terrace over the old town for a dressed-up round. Steps from Dam Square. Rated 4.5.
WESTPOORT · $$$ · ROOFTOP BARS
Floor 17 sits atop the Hilton in the west at Westpoort, the pick when you are out toward the ring rather than the centre. A wide skyline terrace. Rated 4.4.
OOST · $$ · ROOFTOP BARS
Canvas runs the Volkshotel's seventh floor in Oost, an east-side rooftop with DJs until late and a younger crowd. The relaxed alternative to the hotel terraces.
