A Coveted Sky-High Destination
...With Views

Perched above the bustle of downtown Indianapolis, Astrea Rooftop Bar is a cosmopolitan hideaway with a private feel. Sip botanical-forward cocktails and refreshing wines. Savor shareable bites in the expanse of our airy indoor-outdoor space. Semi-private nooks beckon discreet conversations or join the revelry of a spirited after-work crowd. A place to be seen high atop Indianapolis nightscape, after-dark cocktails and sultry beats steal the show. On the weekends, a spirited brunch crowd and rotating DJs promise to elevate the vibe.

Indiana native Craig Baker is the Executive Chef of Serliana Café and Astrea Rooftop Bar.
