Best Rooftop Bars for the 4th of July

By Travel Savvy

Just saying the phrase "July 4th" conjurs up images of kids holding sparklers, fireworks in the distance, buckets of ice-cold beer, hotdogs and potato salad, and bowls of sliced watermelon on picnic tables. People across all of the US of A are starting to plan their festivities for this beloved national holiday, and it's not even summer yet! This year, if you're looking to celebrate the Fourth of July with a little less emphasis on the 'picnic' and a bit more on the 'drinks,' then check out these bars with fantastic views of the fireworks!

Music City knows how to throw a party! With live music and a huge fireworks show, Downtown Nashville transforms into one giant 4th of July celebration. While the festivities bring everyone together, you might find yourself wanting to escape from the crowds and gape at the fireworks from a higher altitude. If that’s the case, we recommend going to Acme Feed & Seed's rooftop patio. Choose from one of their many cocktails and enjoy the best scenic view in the city!
