Rooftop bar girls trips, drinks up high while the light goes gold

Golden hour called, and it wants the whole group up on a rooftop with something bubbly and the city glowing behind you. Then dinner, drinks and somewhere to stay for all of you.

Why the girls keep picking a rooftop

Most weeks the sunset happens without you.

You’re stuck in traffic, or halfway through one more email, or standing in the supermarket wondering what’s for dinner. Most weeks the sunset happens without you. A rooftop is where the whole group finally catches it.

Your table is waiting, the first glass gets poured and the share plates start landing without anyone having to ask twice. The city carries on below, busy and loud, and none of it is your problem.

The views are breathtaking, and the whole table still keeps turning back to each other. For a couple of summers now the group chat has been sharing other people’s rooftop photos with the same reply underneath: us, next time.

Time with your girls belongs with the essentials, and so does a sunset you actually stopped to watch.

What happens on a rooftop girls weekend

Up high, then out, then home together.

A rooftop bar girls trip with My Ultimate is time up on a rooftop bar with drinks for the group, built into a whole girls weekend with somewhere to stay, food, drinks and a night out.

  1. Three friends in robes and towel turbans taking a mirror selfie while getting ready

    Sunnies tested at the window.

    Getting ready is all about golden hour: bronzer chasing the light, gold hoops and something breezy for up top.

  2. Two friends laughing and clinking drinks on a sunny rooftop lounge

    Up to your spot.

    Among the palms and olive trees, on plush white lounges or on a deck by the pool. Your spot is waiting, and the first glass gets poured as you arrive.

  3. Three friends clinking spritz cocktails in the sunshine above the city

    Then the light turns gold.

    Suddenly everyone’s up for the group photo with the towers glowing behind you. It’s the best golden hour any of you have caught in months, mostly because you actually looked up.

  4. The girls around a long table set with high tea stands

    The plates keep coming.

    On plenty of rooftop weekends the share plates come too, made for reaching across each other and gone before anyone owns up to taking the last one.

  5. Three friends holding up their cocktails at a lively bar table at night

    Or after dark.

    Some rooftops come after dinner, with a bottle of bubbly for the group above the city lights and the stories turning into opinions.

  6. Two friends hugging and laughing over drinks at the apartment

    Home to the same place.

    Shoes off, the couch takes everyone back and the debrief starts. The view gets better every time somebody describes it.

Four ways to do a rooftop girls trip

What kind of girls group a rooftop suits

Golden hour people. All of you.

It works for the group that times every catch up to golden hour, and for the friend who’d happily never leave the table.

A friend laughing with a drink beside her friend in sunglasses

The ones who time everything to golden hour.

The sunnies come out, the bronzer goes on and the group photo happens right on cue.

The group with a lot to catch up on.

A table that’s already yours, nowhere else to be and stories that need more than a group chat.

The ones who’ve spent the year fetching things.

Lunch orders, lost keys and every round nobody else was getting. Up here, nobody fetches anything.

The friends who say ’us, next time’.

Next time just got a date.

The birthday that wants a view.

A toast with the skyline behind her, and a photo she’ll actually want to post.

Friends from different chapters.

School friends, work friends and somebody’s sister. Everyone gets along at golden hour.

What pairs well with a rooftop

Real girls trip reviews

In their own words, exactly as written.

Three women in sunglasses laughing with glasses of rose at a marina bar

The thing I would recommend My Ultimate for is not one particular inclusion.

It was the overall thought behind the weekend.

Everything was close enough together, there was time to actually enjoy where we were and the weekend never felt like we were ticking items off an itinerary.

It felt easy, but clearly quite a lot of thought goes into making something feel easy.

Kelly, 47

We had a fantastic experience dealing with My Ultimate.

Friendly, responsive and very knowledgeable. Every part of the conversation felt tailored to what I had actually told them rather than a scripted sales process.

For anyone who is trying to organise several personalities and wants some certainty around the decision, I would definitely recommend speaking to them.

Patricia Murphy, 65

Booking a rooftop table, or a whole girls weekend

Same view, a very different weekend.

Plenty of groups get a rooftop table and have a great afternoon. Then comes the bit after: where to eat, who’s booking it, the footpath debate between bars and everyone peeling off in separate rides just as the sun goes down.

A rooftop girls weekend with My Ultimate has the apartment, the food, the drinks and where to next already lined up around the view, so the debrief happens on the couch, heels in hand, with everyone there.

Somewhere to stay, already in it.One living room for the getting ready, the outfit swaps and the morning coffee.
One front door at the end of the night.Everyone heads home to the same place, still talking about that sunset.
