Astrea is the star of Indy's rooftop bar lineup

The vibe: Inside has a luxe feel — lots of velvet, leather, marble.

• Outside was closed the day the Axios Indy team visited, but the high walls limit your views.
• Snag a spot in the corner nearest the Soldiers & Sailors Monument, if you can.

The menu: A small, but interesting selection of craft cocktails and small bites.

• Cocktails run around $16. Tbh, we expected higher prices and all loved our drinks.
• The $15 chips and onion dip (sans caviar) were the perfect post-work snack.

If you go: 17 W. Market St.

• Open from 4pm until midnight Sunday-Thursday and until 1am Friday and Saturday.

Here are a few other area rooftop bars worth checking out:

🍸 Cannonball Lounge another rooftop bar atop a downtown hotel.

• This one is on the sixth floor of Hotel Indy.

🍹 Livery, the beloved Latin American restaurant just off Mass Ave, has a second-story patio that we're totally counting.

🎳 Pins Mechanical Co., the Bottleworks duckpin bowling and arcade bar, has a sneaky second floor outdoor terrace.

🏀 Pivot is more balcony than rooftop, but it's still above the street level on the second floor of the downtown Hyatt House.

• The large outdoor patio looks out at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

🍺 The Rooftop Garden on top of the Fountain Square Theatre Building gives beer garden vibes.
