From the rooftops of Tel Aviv to the coastline of Rishon LeZion and Netanya, central Israel’s rooftops turn every outing into an elevated evening. These are the places where food, breeze, music, and sunset come together at the table.
Some restaurants start with a plate, and some start on the way up. The elevator opens, the city stays below, and the air shifts. We’ve selected 11 rooftop restaurants and bars in central Israel, based on Ontopo pages, demand data, and available reservations—a mix of urban rooftops, open terraces, sea views, and plenty of reasons to book a table right at sunset.

1. Bayz Rooftop Bar
Bayz Rooftop Bar brings Tel Aviv’s coastline a summer rooftop experience at an exceptionally high standard, with panoramic sea views and the feel of an urban resort above the city. On the rooftop floor of Bayz Hilton, an open complex has been built with pavilion daybeds for lounging, lounge sofas, and jacuzzi pools, so the experience starts before you order your first drink.
The vibe here is geared toward a full summer evening: precise sound, cocktails, a food menu separate from the restaurant floor, and a breeze coming straight off the sea. It’s a place to arrive after a day at the beach, lean back with a cold drink in hand, share a few light bites, and let the sunset open the evening at the right pace.
📍 Address: Hilton Beach, Tel Aviv
2. Contento
Contento brings Tel Aviv’s summer to the right height: open sea, marina, a breeze coming off the shore, and an atmosphere that feels like someone pressed the vacation button mid-week. It’s the kind of place where you don’t need much to get into the rhythm. A cold drink in hand, live music in the background, a table opening onto the horizon, and the city slowly unwinding around you.
The experience here leans on ease. Arrive for sunset, stay for a drink, share something alongside the alcohol, and let the view do its thing. Contento suits a low-key date night, an outing with friends, or a relaxed start before the rest of the night unfolds.
📍 Address: Eliezer Peri 10, Tel Aviv
3. ROOF TOP 98
ROOF TOP 98 sits exactly where Tel Aviv likes to be: above Dizengoff, close to everything, with soft lighting, open tables, and an evening atmosphere that starts early and flows easily. It’s a rooftop that feels very urban but still manages to create a small disconnect from the street below.
The menu works well for a table of several people: starters, fish, meat, pasta, and cocktails that hold up for a full evening. Sunday through Thursday there’s a Happy Hour with 30% off between 7:00–8:00 PM, making the first hour of the evening an especially smart time to grab a table.
📍 Address: 98 Dizengoff, Tel Aviv-Yafo
4. JB Rooftop
On the seventh floor of the Jewel Hotel, facing the sea and sunsets of Tel Aviv, JB Rooftop opens the summer from exactly the right spot: an open rooftop, a breeze off the sea, and a view that arrives at the table before the first drink. It’s a light, pleasant rooftop bar—the kind that feels like a small pause above the city, a moment before the evening really begins.
On the menu: cocktails, wines, light bites, and personal pizzas suited to Tel Aviv’s golden hours. Arrive for a drink at sunset, open a small table with something alongside the alcohol, and let the pace stay simple: good vibes, the sea nearby, and a few moments above the streets.
📍 Address: HaYarkon 84, Tel Aviv
5. CASAMAYA
CASAMAYA is the kind of place where the design enters the experience before the first drink. A rooftop with wood, greenery, an urban rhythm, and the feel of a small escape from Tel Aviv’s buzz. The atmosphere connects quiet design with nighttime energy, with music leaning toward Afro house and cocktails that elevate the table.
On the culinary side, the direction is a restaurant-bar with an Asian twist—the kind that suits a table sharing a few plates and in no rush to go anywhere. It’s a good spot to open an evening, celebrate something small, or simply sit high above the city and let the lighting do its thing.
📍 Address: Rothschild Boulevard 24, Tel Aviv-Yafo
6. The Prince
The Prince is one of the rooftops most identified with Tel Aviv’s Nahalat Binyamin: an old building, stairs leading up, and then a green rooftop overlooking the center of the pedestrian mall. There’s a mix here that feels very local: market food, cocktails, greenery, changing background music, and a crowd that comes to sit, talk, drink, and stay.
It’s not a polished rooftop in the classic sense, and that’s exactly part of the charm. The vibe is more free, less tight, with tables suited to a Friday brunch, a casual evening, or a date that doesn’t want to feel too effortful. Sunday through Thursday there’s a Happy Hour between 5:00–7:00 PM with 30% off the entire menu.
📍 Address: Nahalat Binyamin 18, Tel Aviv-Yafo
7. Maree
Maree in Netanya takes the rooftop concept to a genuinely high place: the 15th floor of the VERT Hotel, open sea views, and a sky lounge experience that feels like a big night out. Chef Yonatan Roshfeld leads a kosher Mediterranean menu of meats and fish here, with cocktails that hold the atmosphere and the sea entering every glance from the table.
It’s a place suited to a celebratory evening, a date with a view, or a meal you want to stay in memory. The terrace, the height, and the blue line of the sea create a feeling of abroad nearby, without leaving the center.
📍 Address: VERT Lagoon Hotel, Kehilat Tzfat 3, Netanya
8. Weizmann Bar on the Roof
Weizmann Bar on the Roof brings the rooftop to the heart of Ness Ziona, with an open terrace, music, alcohol, and a menu leaning on taboon, doughs, fresh pastas, and local ingredients. It’s a gastro bar that understands the charm of sitting high: the air opens, the street recedes, and the meal becomes an outing.
The direction here is Italian-local—the kind that suits a table with pizza from the taboon, pasta, starters to share, and a drink on the side. Sunday through Wednesday there’s a Happy Hour with 25% off the entire menu between 6:00–8:00 PM, so it’s worth aiming for the early evening hours.
📍 Address: Weizmann 22, Ness Ziona
9. Patricks Rooftop
Patricks Rooftop in Petah Tikva is a kosher restaurant-bar aimed at an outing broader than a meal: draft beers, alcohol, music, screens for viewing, and a large terrace that brings air into the whole evening. It’s a place suited to a group, a game, a drink after work, or a meal that doesn’t want to be too formal.
The menu goes for restaurant-bar food, with starters, salads, sandwiches, meats, and burgers. It’s not a place asking for quiet. It’s a place inviting you to raise a glass, share a few plates, and stay for another round.
📍 Address: Totzeret HaAretz 4, Petah Tikva
10. Paseo
Paseo sits on the Rishon LeZion promenade and connects rooftop, sea, sunset, and music. It’s a place built for evenings that open in the last light and continue with a DJ, cocktails, and food arriving at the table at the pace of an outing. The view here is an integral part of the experience: not décor, but a reason to arrive early.
Sunday through Thursday, Paseo runs a Golden Hour between 5:00–7:30 PM, with 15% off the food menu and 30% off alcohol. It’s exactly the time window when the sun goes down, the sea changes color, and the plates speak for themselves.
📍 Address: HaTayelet 6, Rishon LeZion
11. Who Rooftop Bar
Who Rooftop Bar brings Rishon LeZion a kosher rooftop with a day that starts with brunch, moves to a sunset Happy Hour, and continues to fine dining and an especially lively after-party. It’s an experience that shifts by the hour: lighter in the morning, more transparent and bright in the afternoon, and more rhythmic at night.
It’s a good spot for anyone wanting the full package: views, music, food, drinks, and an atmosphere that stays late. On weekends the place takes on the character of a dance bar with a DJ and dancing, so it suits both a date and a celebration with friends.
📍 Address: The Promenade, Rishon LeZion
