The word 'Alfresco' is always a value addition to our day to day activities. By natural instinct, human beings love to be free and we want openness everywhere around us. Be it driving in a roofless car on a country road or banging our heads frantically on an open air rock concert, the thrill is doubled, if we know that the only thing above us is the sky!

The same thing goes for the wine enthusiasts who believe in what Robert Luis Stevenson said, “Wine is bottled poetry”. And poetry can be enjoyed only when if you are free and your soul is scaling the depth of your mind...

Unleashing the soul is upto the wish of the individual, no real doubt and fight on that; but the pleasure of a willingly intoxicated evening under a star studded sky with great views all round is hard to resist.

Bringing to you today the best rooftop bars in the world. Hold your drinks guys...

Sirocco, Thailand: This one is a real treat! Situated on the top of the dome at State Tower in Bangkok with 64 floors beneath it, Sirocco is a much sought after bar in town. Once at the top, it offers a 360 degree view of the city. As night descends, you can enjoy an evening with a street light illuminated city around you while flirting with a cocktail. Not only that, if you plan to have dinner after the boozing, you don't need to go out anywhere as Sirocco serves food as well.

The Penthouse, Spain: Spanish night out will take a U turn post your visit to this bar! Seated on the roof of Hotel ME Madrid Reina Victoria, in Plaza Santa Ana, The Penthouse is the place where you get a gathering that flaunts their fashion quotient and drinks that leaves you begging for more. While you will be lost at the scenic view of the central Madrid, you might bump into some well known Spanish celebrities as they also hang out there!

Luna Bar, Malaysia: A rooftop bar with a poolside infrastructure, sounds fancy? Well that is what this bar in Kuala Lumpur is all about. Though Luna has a classy indoor bar as well, the view of the city from the rooftop corner is simply awesome!

Rooftop Bar, Australia: Located in central Melbourne, atop the Thai bar and restaurant- Cookie, this place is a hub for some live music, movies and boozing. Get hold of a beer cane and enjoy!

Gravity, Ireland: The Guinness Storehouse in Dublin is the home to this bar. Though not exactly open air, it presents an unhampered and matchless view of the city. The bar is endowed with flashy and plush styling with luxurious seating arrangements.

Top Floor Bar, UK: Gherkin, the recent architectural marvel in London is the place where you get this open air hide out. Often known as the perfect place to throw some private parties, Top Floor Bar is styled with stunning interiors and exquisite drinks.

Moon, Nevada: The 53rd floor of the Palms Hotels in Vegas is the haven for night mongers who freak out in the Moon Bar. If it is Vegas, the music has to be kick ass! Thats exactly what Moon has. Saturday night partying is mind blowing here in every sense of the term.

Captain Bar, China: You will find this bar in People's Square in Shanghai. A relatively moderate place as compared to the previous one, Captain Bar is a favourite meeting point for locals as well as the tourists.

Hudson Sky Terrace, New York: This uber cool bar is a proud possession of The Hudson Hotel in New York. Known for its fine service and a never seen before view of the Hudson river makes an afternoon here worthy of being treasured forever!

Condesa DF Rooftop Bar, Mexico: There is an aura of sophistication in this bar on the top of the posh Condesa DF hotel in Mexico City. The food and drinks here are just tailor made for your Mexico vacation.

The cuisines and cocktails often speak about the preference and mannerisms of a particular country. The German beer will give you a different feel from what you experienced with a French wine. And the wine connoisseurs know, the ambiance plays a great role in shaping your mood when you grab your drink to relish it.

So, let the wings grow and gear up to fly...well, almost literally!
