Sky Leme
Sky Leme is a rooftop bar and lounge in Rio de Janeiro offering elevated seating and dining spaces with panoramic views of the surrounding area. The venue features tables, a full bar counter, and service staff who prepare and serve cocktails, drinks, and light food throughout the evening.
Rooftop bars became popular in Rio de Janeiro from the 1990s onward as property owners recognized the potential of unused roof spaces as commercial venues. This trend has grown steadily and now these spaces rank among the city's most sought-after evening destinations.
The space reflects Rio de Janeiro's love of elevated vantage points where locals and visitors gather as the sun sets to socialize and take in views. The casual dress, lingering conversations, and shared drinks show how rooftop venues fit into the city's relaxed approach to evening socializing.
Visit in the late afternoon or early evening to catch the best light and avoid the heaviest crowds that arrive later in the night. Wear comfortable shoes and remember the space is open to weather, so dress appropriately for wind and changing conditions.
Many visitors overlook that rooftop venues in Rio sometimes close unexpectedly during rainy seasons when weather safety becomes a concern on exposed platforms. Checking ahead during months with unpredictable weather helps avoid a wasted trip.
