Very few things are more satisfying than sipping a stiff drink and taking in the skyline of your city, which is probably why characters like Don Draper + Jack Donaghy did it so often.

To help you get that same feeling, we’ve rounded up four rooftop bars around the City of Trees for you to visit.

Darling Aviary, 712 K St.

With an array of bird-themed drinks — and some pretty darn good curly fries in our opinion — this multi-level lounge offers a laid-back roost with live DJs + a view of beautiful Downtown buildings and treetops.

Clayton Club, 1122 7th St.

Located inside the Hyatt Centric Downtown Sacramento, this posh terrace offers handcrafted cocktails in addition to wine + craft beer, along with small-plate food by Chef Ravin Patel.

Revival at Sawyer, 500 J St.

Overlooking Golden 1 Center and packed with almost-daily events, like Thursday’s Tiki Night, this bar inside the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel serves wine by the bottle, specialty cocktails, craft beers + bar food.

Mix Downtown, 1525 L St.

This weekend-only nightclub offers you the chance to dress your best + shake it like a Polaroid picture on their rooftop.
