Rolling Stone Rooftop Bar — Bar at Telegraph Hotel, Tbilisi

In short

Rolling Stone Rooftop Bar occupies the top floor of The Telegraph Hotel, on Shota Rustaveli Avenue in central Tbilisi. It operates as a bar and all-day dining venue, open from breakfast hour to late at night, with a brunch menu and a separate evening menu, a cocktail list, and a programme of live music and DJ sets. According to the hotel, it is the first venue to carry the Rolling Stone name, and it is positioned as a place to eat, drink and listen to music while looking out over the city.

The concept, the chef and the room

The Telegraph Hotel occupies the former central post and telegraph office of Tbilisi, a building designed in the 1960s by Georgian architects Lado Alexi-Meskhishvili and Teimuraz Mikashavidze. It is considered an example of Soviet modernist architecture and received the National State Award in 1983. The building has since been restored under the direction of Silk Road Group’s George Ramishvili, with interiors across the hotel handled by design studio Neri & Hu, and now houses the hotel together with a cluster of restaurants and bars, of which Rolling Stone Rooftop Bar is one.

The hotel describes Rolling Stone Rooftop Bar as “designed for those who appreciate exclusivity, sophistication, and meaningful connections,” a rooftop space meant for brunch, dinner, and evenings that stretch into the night. Music is presented as central to the concept rather than a background feature: the hotel lists live performances, sunset electronica, house music and late-night ambient sets as part of the regular programme. No chef or culinary director is named on the official pages, and no specific description of the dining room’s design or seating is given beyond its rooftop setting and open views across the city.

The bar is one of several dining venues inside The Telegraph Hotel, which also include Grand Café (Georgian and European), Philosophico (Italian), Tatuza Jazz Club, Laan Thai, The Grill (American steakhouse style), the indoor Courtyard Bar, Bell & Gray café and the Wine Library. The hotel’s Grand Café has been listed on La Liste, and The Telegraph Hotel itself has received a MICHELIN Key in the MICHELIN Guide 2025 and was named among the World’s 16 Most Beautiful Hotels by Prix Versailles, according to the hotel’s own awards page.

What to order

The official website provides two menu links — a “Main” menu and a “Brunch” menu — but does not publish the specific dishes or drinks contained in either on its text pages. Based on what the hotel does state about the format and intent of the food and drink programme, the following gives a sense of what to expect rather than a list of confirmed named items:

• Brunch menu — described by the hotel as suited to “laid-back afternoons,” served as part of the all-day opening hours from 08:00.
• Main (dinner) menu — positioned by the hotel for “evenings out,” available later in the day through to closing.
• Cocktail list — the hotel describes the cocktails as made “for long evenings on the terrace,” reflecting what it calls a creative approach, though individual cocktail names are not listed on the site.

Travellers wanting specifics on individual dishes or cocktail names should check the menu views on the official site before visiting, or confirm directly with the venue, as gtour.ge has not been able to verify exact item names from the published text.

Menus, hours and prices

The venue states it is open seven days a week, from 08:00 to 01:00. Two menu formats are referenced on the official page: a “Main View” and a “Brunch View,” though the content of neither is spelled out in text. No prices, price ranges, or set-menu costs are published on the official pages reviewed for this profile.

Bookings can be made through the “Book now” link on the hotel’s restaurant pages.

Questions travellers ask

Is Rolling Stone Rooftop Bar open to non-hotel guests?

The official pages do not restrict access to hotel guests; the venue is presented as a rooftop bar and dining spot for brunch, dinner, drinks and music, with bookings made through the hotel’s “Book now” link, suggesting it functions as a public restaurant and bar rather than an in-house-only amenity.

Do I need a reservation?

The official site provides a booking link for the venue, which indicates reservations are accepted and likely advisable, particularly around live music or DJ events, though the site does not explicitly state whether booking is mandatory for a standard visit.

What kind of food is served — is it a full dinner menu or mainly drinks?

The hotel describes a menu built around both brunch and dinner, meaning food is served alongside the cocktail list rather than the venue being a drinks-only bar. Specific dish names are not listed in the text reviewed, so diners should check the linked menu views for current offerings.

Is there a dress code or age restriction, given the membership concept?

The official pages do not mention a dress code or minimum age in the text provided. The membership programme is described as being for “music lovers, tastemakers, and creatives” with perks like priority access to events, but no formal entry requirements are stated.

How do I get to the rooftop bar from the airport or other parts of Tbilisi?

The venue sits atop The Telegraph Hotel on Rustaveli Avenue, in central Tbilisi, roughly 18 km from Tbilisi International Airport. The hotel offers on-site paid parking for those arriving by car and can be contacted for airport transfer bookings; the avenue is also well served by central Tbilisi’s metro and bus routes, given its location in the main downtown corridor.
