Overview
Perched on the 11th floor of The Waymark Chattanooga, set in a restored 1927 bank building, Iris Rooftop Bar opened in early 2026, literally raising the bar for the Chattanooga rooftop scene. This is the city's highest rooftop, where lush tropical greenery, moody lighting, and cozy fire pits create a vibrant yet refined atmosphere. With both a stylish indoor lounge area and a sweeping outdoor terrace, Iris offers an inviting escape above the bustling city below.
Views
The wrap-around otudoor terrace delivers sweeping panoramic views of the downtown Chattanooga skyline and Lookout Mountain.
Food & Drinks
The menu at Iris features an elevated selection of signature cocktails, house spritz, and a fine array of wine and spirits, paired with flavorful and Tennessee-inspired handheld bites. Weekends also means rooftop brunch, where brunch favorites, sharable boards, tableside Bloody Marys and bubbles packages meet live DJ vibes.
