Finding the perfect rooftop bar for a cannabis session can elevate your routine to a truly special occasion. Cannabis rules aren’t universal, some cities have embraced cannabis culture and partnered with venues that allow relaxed, social smoking in outdoor spaces. The best rooftop bars for cannabis sessions combine stunning views, a relaxed, welcoming energy, and a nonjudgmental stance on cannabis enjoyment.

At the Ace Hotel’s rooftop in LA is a favorite among locals. With its sweeping urban views and cozy lounge seating, it’s ideal for enjoying a smoke while soaking in the view while watching the sunset. Employees are well-versed in cannabis etiquette and often have recommendations for local strains or edibles. Always confirm their latest rules, as rules can change.

The Skyliner Rooftop in Portland offers a fully exposed terrace where weed consumption is welcome in marked spots. The drinks are crafted with care, and the soundtrack strikes the perfect balance between ambiance and conversation. Guests commonly supply their own bud, and they provide hidden rolling supplies and lighters.

In Denver — a cannabis-friendly city, the Crawford Hotel’s rooftop lounge stands out. It’s one of the few rooftop venues that actually offers cannabis consumption lounges on the upper level. You can explore a handpicked lineup of compliant strains and edibles while nursing a premium drink and gazing over the urban landscape. It’s perfect for first-timers and veterans alike.

Toronto’s 707 Rooftop has become a beloved retreat for smokers. Though outdoor cannabis use is limited by law, the bar has a private terrace section where guests can smoke responsibly. The atmosphere is chill, the lighting is soft, and no one bats an eye at your smoke. It’s exactly where you want to be to unwind under the stars.

Before heading to a rooftop for a smoke, always verify local laws and venue policies. Even in legal states or most weed-friendly cities in the world, some venues remain smoke-free. Choose spots that value responsible enjoyment and respect. Bring your own supply if allowed, or ask about on-site options. Drink plenty of water, consider those around you, and know your limits.

The true beauty lies beyond the euphoria—it’s in the totality of the experience. The wind on your skin, the glow of neon, the laughter nearby, and the muffled rhythm of the streets below. Find the right spot, honor the environment, and embrace the rhythm of the moment.
