]]> While you may sometimes feel like a night on the town while on vacation, there may also be those nights that you simply want to enjoy a cocktail or other beverage and relax, at which point a hotel bar sure proves useful. Here are the best hotel bars around the world where you can enjoy that perfect nightcap.

Dwarika’s Hotel in Kathmandu, Nepal

If you’re interested in embarking on a South Asian adventure, then the Fusion Bar at Dwarika’s Hotel will prove to be the ideal place to take a load off. This cottage-turned-intimate bar is an ideal place to unwind after a long day of touring, with plenty of world-class cocktails, local beers, and Nepali snacks to enjoy.

Sunset Pool Bar in Seychelles

If you’re in the mood for an island adventure, then a trip to the tropical African islands of Seychelles may be right up your alley. What better way to relax than by spending an afternoon or evening at the Sunset Pool Bar at the stunning Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas?

Bar Timeo in Sicily, Italy

Located in the lush Grand Hotel Timeo, this bar is an ideal place to unwind while soaking in the breathtaking views of the glorious island of Sicily. From the fresh Mediterranean waters to the fearsome volcanic Mount Edna, there’s plenty to see from this classy location as you take a sip on your favorite cocktail while breathing in the fresh night air.

]]> Step into the elevator, press the top floor and get ready to touch the sky! These bars have shattered the glass ceilings as they offer guests the best views that a cocktail can buy. If you’re afraid of heights, we suggest you lay low on this one; but if you want to see the world from a different perspective, here’s where to head.

Ozone, Hong Kong

Situated on the 118th floor of the Ritz-Carlton in Hong Kong, this bar is high enough to make your vertigo kick in. Ozone is the highest bar in the world at 1,575 feet above sea level, which makes sense as the Hong Kong Ritz is the tallest hotel on the planet. Put on your best outfit to enjoy the lounge atmosphere in the evenings, or pop in for an unforgettable brunch on Sundays. 

Blank Lounge, Ho Chi Minh City

The Blank Lounge takes up two floors of the Landmark 81 skyscraper in the Vietnamese city. Standing at an altitude of around 1,214 feet, the 75th and 76th floors feature a collection of bars and lounges. After drinks, you can go even higher to visit the observation deck on the 81st floor!

Sky Beach, Bangkok

Ever fancied sunbathing in the sky? The creators of this rooftop bar in Bangkok must have been on the same wavelength. Sky Beach can be found on top of the King Power Mahanakhon, coming in at 1,030 feet above the ground. Expect creative cocktails and a retro-chic, tropical vibe.

]]> If there’s one city in the world with an absolutely iconic skyline, we’d have to say it’s New York. The Empire State, Chrysler Buildings and One World Trade Center stand tall and proud against the sky behind them, and the lights from the buildings that surround them look like a sea of stars once the sun has set at night. It’s a skyline that begs to be observed, and what better way to do that than on top of another building with a drink in your hand? New York is full of rooftop bars and clubs that, in our opinion, are one of the best ways to enjoy the city. Here are some of our favorites:

Panorama Room

The name says it all. The views from this rooftop bar on Roosevelt Island are worth leaving Manhattan for, and the drinks aren’t bad either. The bar is located on the 18th floor of the Graduate Roosevelt Island hotel and specializes in martinis and sparkling wines.

Salon de Ning

Those in search of some prime NYC skyline views from within Manhattan should check out Salon de Ning, a rooftop bar on Fifth Avenue with both indoor seating and two terraces overlooking one of New York’s most famous streets below.

Overstory

Over 60 storeys is more like it. This rooftop bar is located on the 64th floor of a building in the city’s Financial District. Guests can enjoy cocktails and small bites inside or on the bar’s wrap-around terrace, where it’s recommended to make reservations in advance.

]]> Sitting just outside of Los Angeles on the California coastline is the town of Malibu. It has wide beaches and clear sapphire waters that are perfect for surfing and you just can’t find in L.A. But if a day’s surfing at California’s finest beaches appeals to you, you’ll probably also want to know where you can grab a drink and unwind afterward. Here are four of the best bars in Malibu to relax after a day’s surfing.

If that’s the case, you’ll most likely want to check out one of these bars, which are the coolest around the world.

Fabrica de Arte Cubano | Havana, Cuba

An art gallery and club in Havana, Cuba, the Fabrica de Arte Cubano (or F.A.C.) is a must-see while you’re in Havana, especially if you’re looking for something to do at night. It has something to offer for anybody who likes art, culture, dancing, music, or nightlife of any kind. You’ll have so many different things to do, you’ll have a hard time choosing.

Hotel de Glace | Quebec, Canada

Canada is pretty cold, right? Well, it sure is in this bar in Quebec. The whole bar is made out of ice and snow, giving you a totally magical and once-in-a-lifetime experience. Even the cocktails are served in blocks of ice.

Northern Lights Inn | Reykjavik, Iceland

Located in Reykjavik, Iceland, the Northern Lights Inn is all about celebrating the beauty of nature, namely the northern lights, which you can see from the bar’s floor to ceiling windows—at least when the timing and weather are right.

]]> From 1920 to 1933, the U.S. was under Prohibition. That meant that alcohol could not be manufactured, sold, or transported within the entire country. Due to this, little establishments known as speakeasies that served alcohol began to pop-up in cities. They were often hidden in cellars, behind regular storefronts, and any other type of reputable establishment that could hide one. While alcohol is no longer illegal, and speakeasies aren’t necessary, but the speakeasy-style has lived on. If you want to experience the old world charm of a speakeasy, then head to Philadelphia’s Ranstead Room. 

Back in Time

With an eye to design, each facet of the Ranstead Room has been made to look like it is in the 1920s. There is only room for 45 patrons, and finding the door to the bar itself can be tricky. If you persevere and look behind the El Rey building you will find it.

Tuck yourself into one of the wooden booths, and grab a signature cocktail from the bar—the Midnight City and the Dancing in the Dark are particularly good. There is also a small finger menu that patrons of the bar can snack on if they don’t feel like leaving the shadowy comfort of the speakeasy.

]]> Lisbon is a bustling city, full of young people, it is cheap to live in, and offers a variety of vibrant options for a fun night out.

“Fado” Clubs

Listening to this Portuguese blues at an authentic club is a wonderful way to spend an evening in Lisbon. The Alfama area is considered the “home” of fado in the city.

Dance Clubs

In Lisbon, there is a stunning club scene and lots of dance clubs that are open until late. The best clubs in the city are in the Bairro Alto area.

Bars

The city offers a variety of special bars with different themes. One of them is the “Pensão Amor” bar. The bar is housed in an 18th-century building that was once a brothel. This is a playful place, with a cabaret vintage design. It has great music and a nice dance floor. The bar house is located at Rua do Alecrim 19 in the nightlife area called Cais do Sodré—which tourists usually do not visit. This area used to be a run-down district of ​​Lisbon, but has lately become a vibrant place for nightlife, with clubs, bars, restaurants, and shops.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvx21eEFxnr/

The Community

The Buzz Mill has two locations within 3 miles of each other and is all about the people of that area. It would warm any visitor’s heart to see the strength of the community they gathered around. They are a bar, café, and a volunteer community center. They organize river cleanup days, adoption events, and build community gardens. Worth a visit for the spirit!

https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLoCHglp4T/

The Farm

The Jester King is a brewery, a farmhouse, and a local success story. Founded in 2010 as a working brewery, the founders decided to develop the land around the brewery, and they now own a solar-operated, ethical farm, operate tours, and serve beer and food. They also have a herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats running around.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B32utgAJThq/

The Cocktails

Located at the heart of Austin’s downtown area is The Roosevelt Room, an award-winning cocktail bar. This is a full-service classic cocktail bar, where the staff can educate the customers about the nature of the drinks and recommend unique or newly developed drinks. If you’re in the mood for decadence, this is the spot for you!

]]> From 1920 to 1933, the U.S. was under Prohibition. That meant that alcohol could not be manufactured, sold, or transported within the entire country. Due to this, little establishments known as speakeasies that served alcohol began to pop-up in cities. They were often hidden in cellars, behind regular storefronts, and any other type of reputable establishment that could hide one. While alcohol is no longer illegal, and speakeasies aren’t necessary, but the speakeasy-style has lived on. If you want to experience the old world charm of a speakeasy, then head to Philadelphia’s Ranstead Room. 

Back in Time

With an eye to design, each facet of the Ranstead Room has been made to look like it is in the 1920s. There is only room for 45 patrons, and finding the door to the bar itself can be tricky. If you persevere and look behind the El Rey building you will find it.

Tuck yourself into one of the wooden booths, and grab a signature cocktail from the bar—the Midnight City and the Dancing in the Dark are particularly good. There is also a small finger menu that patrons of the bar can snack on if they don’t feel like leaving the shadowy comfort of the speakeasy.

]]> Lisbon is a bustling city, full of young people, it is cheap to live in, and offers a variety of vibrant options for a fun night out.

“Fado” Clubs

Listening to this Portuguese blues at an authentic club is a wonderful way to spend an evening in Lisbon. The Alfama area is considered the “home” of fado in the city.

Dance Clubs

In Lisbon, there is a stunning club scene and lots of dance clubs that are open until late. The best clubs in the city are in the Bairro Alto area.

Bars

The city offers a variety of special bars with different themes. One of them is the “Pensão Amor” bar. The bar is housed in an 18th-century building that was once a brothel. This is a playful place, with a cabaret vintage design. It has great music and a nice dance floor. The bar house is located at Rua do Alecrim 19 in the nightlife area called Cais do Sodré—which tourists usually do not visit. This area used to be a run-down district of ​​Lisbon, but has lately become a vibrant place for nightlife, with clubs, bars, restaurants, and shops.

The Community

The Buzz Mill has two locations within 3 miles of each other and is all about the people of that area. It would warm any visitor’s heart to see the strength of the community they gathered around. They are a bar, café, and a volunteer community center. They organize river cleanup days, adoption events, and build community gardens. Worth a visit for the spirit!

The Farm

The Jester King is a brewery, a farmhouse, and a local success story. Founded in 2010 as a working brewery, the founders decided to develop the land around the brewery, and they now own a solar-operated, ethical farm, operate tours, and serve beer and food. They also have a herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats running around.
