Best Fall Rooftop Views in Greenville
Back to Top
Fall is the perfect time to savor Greenville’s culinary scene, and what better way to do it than with a breathtaking view from a rooftop overlooking a romantic sunset? Here are our top picks for must-try dining spots with the perfect fall views from above:
- UP on the Roof: This rooftop option atop the Embassy Suites by Hilton Greenville Downtown Riverplace shows off a panoramic view of the Reedy River as it runs through Downtown and the Blue Ridge Mountains on the horizon. It's known as a semi-casual spot with both indoor and outdoor dining, plus an impressive cocktail menu.
- Juniper : Located above the AC Hotel , Juniper is the ultimate spot for a chic atmosphere and drinks. This rooftop experience offers 360-degree views of Downtown and beyond, so sunset views are easy to find wherever you're seated. Keep in mind the smart casual dress code!
- SIP Whiskey & Wine Bar: This gem feels tucked away above ONE City Plaza, and a short elevator ride will have you overlooking Main Street at its core. Golden hour here hits different with the twinkling lights of the plaza below adding to the atmosphere. Stop by during the week for Whiskey Flight Wednesday or a full selection of Old Fashion's, Mules, and Sangria.
We came for cocktails and ended up staying for dinner because of the sunset! You can't beat a rooftop view in Greenville.
Oktoberfests, Breweries & More Seasonal Sips
Back to TopPour yourself into fall with seasonal sips from Greenville's breweries and wineries—Oktoberfest lagers, fresh-hop ales, and the kind of patio pint that's better in October than August. Raise a prost at an Oktoberfest celebration or graze your way through a fall food and beverage festival.
Then there's football season. Game days are a tradition worth celebrating around here, and Greenville's got a ton of great places to watch the big game and cheer on your team with good food, cold drinks, and fellow fans.
