sky lounge

Elevated cocktail venue

A sky lounge is an elevated bar or lounge area, typically on a rooftop or high floor of a hotel, offering panoramic views: We had drinks at the sky lounge overlooking the city.

The term emphasizes altitude and atmosphere over the drinks themselves.

Some airlines also use the name for premium airport lounges.
