July heat is in full swing, but it sure is nice to sit outside on the handful of low-humidity, slightly breezy days we’ve had here in the Rocket City. If you’re looking for a relaxing location for your next night out on the town, look no further.

We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite rooftop spots in Huntsville, where you can enjoy delicious food accompanied by beautiful views. Grab a seat, order a drink and take a breath before the following views take it from you!

While BarVista isn’t a “rooftop” per se, it still offers a unique perspective of Big Spring Park that’s hard to find anywhere else downtown. Whether you’re staying at the AC Hotel or simply want to stop by for a drink with friends, BarVista is open to all patrons.

2. Baker + Able
