So, if you’re a little bit like us, you’ll most definitely want to check out the following 5 rooftop restaurants in the UK.

Carpathia Champagne Bar & Restaurant, Liverpool

For sun, sea and beautiful views, head to Carpathia Champagne Bar & Restaurant – which offers a fantastic drink selection, afternoon tea and spectacular views of the iconic Liverpool Waterfront. The Liverpool restaurant is also located within 30 James Street – Home of the Titanic, and the building originally served as the White Star Line’s HQ, which means it was also RMS Titanic’s port of registry.
