I don't think I've ever been so happy to utter these words, but terrasse season is officially here! After a long hard and gruelling winter, we all collectively deserve a pitcher of sangria or raspberry mojitos on a rooftop. READ ALSO: Montreal Is Having A Massive $1 Vinyl Sale Good thing that Montreal provides not only some incredible courtyard terrasses - which I have written here - that makes you feel like your drinking in someone's beautiful backyard. But - we also have our fair share of stunning rooftop terasses all boasting their own unique appeal of views of the water and Montreal skyline. Here is the best of the best for dining and drinking on a rooftop in Montreal. 9. Club Lacite Where: 3575 Park Ave View this post on Instagram Mtl 🍹☀️💦 A post shared by Fred Oliveira (@_fredoliveira) on Jul 18, 2017 at 3:05pm PDT Why you should go: Club Lacite is a gym and fitness club with a rooftop pool with a swim-up bar located in the heart of the Mcgill Ghetto/downtown. The best part is you don't actually need a membership to access the pool, you can just buy a day pass. It gets busy on those really hot summer days, so get there early. Website 8. Hotel Nelligan Where: 106 Saint-Paul St W View this post on Instagram 🌹 #Montreal #TerrasseNelligan #IndianSummer 🎈🇨🇦 A post shared by Anouk (@anoukhml) on Oct 21, 2017 at 7:03pm PDT Why you should go: This is probably the most iconic of all rooftop terrasse in Montreal. It's on top of the Hotel Nelligan in the Old Port and provides some of the most stunning views of the Old Port and the downtown skyline. Website 7.

Oh, and it's a double-decker. Tokyo is a long-standing St-Laurent club that is still going strong and hosts some of the most fun day BBQ parties in the summer.

Complexe Sky Where: 1478 St Catherine St E View this post on Instagram Endroit joyeux ;) ;) ;) A post shared by Gabrielle Lauzier (@gablauz) on Sep 16, 2017 at 8:04pm PDT Why you should go: One of Montreal's most frequented gay nightclubs, Complexe Sky, which already features three full floors, gets an upgrade once the warm weather hits and the rooftop terrasse opens. Equipped with its own hot tub (BYOSwimshorts, though), Sky's rooftop is spacious and simply perfect for enjoying one of the club's giant 4L pitchers of sangria. Website 5.

The massive line-up you see each weekend is a evidence of that. Website 3.

Overlooking Old Montreal, Terrasse Place D'Armes is open all day and until 3am, giving you the chance to drink from the sunny afternoon well into the night. And don't worry if you're worried about rain, because this seventh-floor terrasse has a retractable awning to shield you from the elements. Website 1. Terrasse William Gray Where: 421 Rue Saint-Vincent @terrassewilliamgrayembedded via Why you should go: This is the stunning terrace of the luxury boutique hotel William Gray, tucked away on the cozy cobblestone streets of the Old Port.
