The temperature in Phoenix is warm all year-round with highs around 40 degrees Celsius in summer. Daytime in the winter is still comfortable for Phoenix rooftops. This weather allows the rooftop bars in Phoenix to be open all year round. With the festivities of the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships bringing us to Phoenix, we took the opportunity to check out a few hot-spots. Most of the rooftop bars of Phoenix have swimming pools and comfortable lounge furniture. If, like us, you enjoy the combination of luxury, party vibes and nice views, this is a great city to visit. Shade Lounge is a rooftop bar at the W Scottsdale. Decorated in Mediterranean style with white sofas and large wooden floor, Shade Lounge has a large swimming pool complemented by a live DJ during our visit. If you like to swim with a view, this is the best rooftop bar Phoenix has to offer. Make sure to come neatly dressed in the evening and in swimwear daytime. Great party atmosphere both day, evening and night. The view is great and the drinks are strong, if not pricy.
