This area is known for Blue Ridge Mountain vistas, a lively downtown area, and a vibrant music and arts scene. Experience it all from a unique vantage point, with a delicious meal or refreshing drink in hand, at an array of establishments boasting rooftop access!
These elevated havens offer an unparalleled bird's-eye perspective, allowing you to take in the town's character and the surrounding natural beauty. Whether you're seeking a romantic evening, an energetic gathering with friends, or simply a sweet escape, Boone's rooftops deliver.
Lost Province's flagship downtown location offers not only incredible craft beers and delicious wood-fired pizzas but also a fantastic second-story, dog-friendly rooftop deck. This is the spot to enjoy a laid-back meal with your four-legged best friend by your side, while taking in the best views of Howard Knob and the vibrant downtown atmosphere.
With live music often filling the air, it’s a quintessential Boone experience. Order from the bar to enjoy food and drinks on the deck.
Sip beautifully crafted cocktails and mocktails under the open sky, with panoramic 360-degree views of Appalachian State, downtown Boone, and majestic Howard Knob. When the mountain air gets crisp, cozy up by inviting fire pits, snuggled in a blanket – pure bliss! It's the perfect spot for a sophisticated evening out, soaking in the High Country's charm from a truly unique perspective. Friday night Summer Concerts on the lawn at the Jones House, and sunsets in any season are picture-perfect from the Horton's Rooftop Lounge.
The annual New Year's Eve ball drop from the Horton's rooftop is a newer Boone tradition, and already a beloved way to spend the holiday.
SouthEnd's spacious second-story deck overlooks a beer garden with ample outdoor seating. Enjoy fantastic craft beers and a full restaurant menu in the fresh air, and maybe even catch a show on the outdoor stage. It's a great spot for catching up with friends, enjoying a delicious meal, and taking in the bustling energy of downtown from above. Plus, the outside deck is family and dog-friendly, so bring your furry companions along for the fun.
Rooftop experiences shouldn’t be limited to only dinner and drinks. At Blue Deer Cookies' downtown Boone location, you can enjoy a delightful treat with a view, too! Their second-story rooftop deck provides the perfect perch to savor their famous handcrafted ice cream cookie sandwiches. Customize your own decadent creation and enjoy it while taking in the charming downtown Boone streetscape from a unique angle. It's a sweet escape for all ages.
