Price my itinerary Jaipur is the first of two stops on Jaipur & Udaipur 4 nights · with Udaipur · from ₹21,999 per person See it →Jaipur's rooftop scene splits into three kinds of evening: proper rooftop bars like Blackout Terrace (C-Scheme) and taBLU at Clarks Amer, hotel terraces such as the Peacock Rooftop at Hotel Pearl Palace, and alcohol-free terraces like the Tattoo Cafe with the best close-up view of Hawa Mahal. Drinks at the bars run roughly ₹400-1,200.
Blackout Club & Terrace: C-Scheme's Big Night Out
On the 8th and 9th floors of the Landmark Building on Ashok Marg, Blackout pairs Jaipur's best-known club with an open terrace above the city's modern district. The terrace side works for drinks and dinner from early evening; the club side takes over as the night goes on, with electronic sets and Bollywood remixes.
Cocktails and spirits sit in the ₹400-900 range, with weekend entry charges for the club floor. Come early evening for the terrace, later for the dance floor.
taBLU at Hotel Clarks Amer: Drinks with the Long View
The rooftop bar at Hotel Clarks Amer on Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg runs a Mediterranean blue-and-white theme and opens in the evening and runs late; confirm hours with the hotel. The height gives it long views over the southern city, and the music stays at lounge volume, which makes it the pick for conversation rather than a club night. You pay for drinks, not entry; weekend tables are worth booking.
Peacock Rooftop Restaurant: the Heritage Terrace
The famous multi-level rooftop of Hotel Pearl Palace, in the Hathroi Fort area off Ajmer Road, looks over the city towards the little Hathroi Fort. It is primarily a restaurant, the peacock-themed canopy and wrought-iron work are a destination in themselves, with very good, very reasonably priced food, and it fills up nightly. Reserve ahead; go for sunset.
Tattoo Cafe & Lounge: the Hawa Mahal View, No Alcohol
Directly opposite Hawa Mahal, the Tattoo Cafe's terrace has the best close-up view of the palace facade in the city, which makes it worth knowing about even though it serves no alcohol. Coffee, mocktails and fusion plates, with the facade lit up in front of you in the evening. Arrive before sunset for a rail-side table.
Timing Your Rooftop Evening
Sunset is before 6 PM through the winter season (about 5:40 PM in December) and as late as 7:25 PM in June, and terraces fill for it; arrive an hour before sunset for a good table, earlier at the Peacock and the Tattoo Cafe, which are small. What city rooftops look out on after dark is Nahargarh Fort lit on the ridge above the old city, Amber Fort sits 11 km away behind the hills and cannot be seen from town. For fort views at eye level, the restaurant terraces at Nahargarh itself serve drinks with the whole city grid below.
Weekend evenings need reservations at all the popular spots. Weekdays are looser, but sunset tables go first regardless of the day.
Food Alongside the Drinks
All four venues serve full menus: Blackout leans contemporary Indian and bar food, taBLU Mediterranean, the Peacock does its much-loved multi-cuisine menu (the dal makhani has fans), and the Tattoo Cafe does fusion plates like tandoori momos. Mains typically run ₹300-800.

Getting There and Safety Tips
Blackout and taBLU are easy app-cab runs from anywhere in the city. The Tattoo Cafe is walkable from old-city accommodation; the Peacock Rooftop is best reached by auto or cab to Hari Kishan Somani Marg, off Ajmer Road.
The popular rooftops are well lit and staffed on the door; take the usual care moving between venues after dark. For more on safety, see our guide on whether Jaipur is safe for tourists.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time do rooftop bars in Jaipur close?
Most terraces wind down between 11 PM and midnight; taBLU runs late, and Blackout's club floor goes later on weekends.
Do I need reservations for rooftop bars in Jaipur?
Yes, for sunset tables everywhere, and for weekend evenings at Blackout and taBLU. The Peacock Rooftop is small enough that booking ahead matters any night.
Can you see Amber Fort from rooftop bars in Jaipur?
No, Amber Fort is 11 km north of the city behind the ridge, out of sight from town. The lit fort you can see from city rooftops after dark is Nahargarh, on the hills directly above the old city; for a drink with a real fort view, the terraces at Nahargarh Fort itself are the move.
