High above the curve of Avenue Princesse Grace, Blue Gin Monaco settles into the evening light like it belongs there.
Part rooftop lounge, part Riviera escape, it rises gently above the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, offering a front-row seat to the sea, the city, and the soft hours in between.
It’s the kind of place that doesn’t need introduction.
Just an arrival.
Where Sunset Becomes a Ritual
Come for the view, yes. But stay for the shift.
As the sun leans west, the first glasses clink. Music hums into life. The coastline glows, and the sky forgets it ever meant to darken.
Locals arrive early, for spritzes before dinner. Travelers wander up later, drawn in by the sound, the light, the easy magnetism of it all.
Blue Gin doesn’t shout. It pulses – cool, golden, alive.

The Drinks? Beautifully Composed
Cocktails here aren’t decoration. They’re intention.
From gin-forward classics to vibrant house blends, every glass is crafted with a touch of flair and a lot of precision.
There’s something celebratory in the way they arrive – crushed ice catching the light, glassware just the right weight in your hand.
You don’t even need to know what to order. Just ask. They’ll know.
And if you’re sharing plates while the evening stretches – small, thoughtful bites served with just enough finesse – you’ll find the rhythm of the place settles around you.
The Rooftop, Redefined
This isn’t rooftop nightlife the way other cities do it.
There’s no pretense. No velvet rope.
Just a soft dress code (smart chic, always), a sea breeze, and a kind of energy that Monaco seems to do better than anywhere else.
It feels open but intimate. Lively, but not loud.
The music shifts with the night – sometimes upbeat, sometimes slow – never trying too hard, never too far from the sound of the waves below.
Why People Keep Coming Back
- Uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean
- Signature cocktails made with clarity and care
- Relaxed rooftop setting with just the right glamour

And You?
Have you ever had a drink that felt like a small ceremony – not loud or staged, but simply perfect for the moment?
If you’ve been to Blue Gin, maybe you remember how the city looked from up there, or how the first sip caught the light, or how nobody seemed to be in a hurry.
And if not yet – perhaps next time you find yourself near the Bay, you’ll follow the sound of glass and conversation floating through the air.
Take the elevator up.
And let the evening unfold from there.

FAQ - What People Want To Know
When’s the right time to arrive?
Just before sunset is always lovely. That gentle hour when the sky turns to gold, and you can still hear the sea in the quiet. You don’t need to rush – Blue Gin feels best when the light is changing and the evening hasn’t decided what it wants to be yet.
Do I need a reservation?
Not usually. Most nights, you can simply walk in. But if you’re coming on a summer weekend or hoping for one of those sea-facing spots, it’s worth calling ahead. They’ll hold it with a quiet kind of charm, like they were expecting you all along.
Is it strange to come alone?
Not here. There’s something about the space that lets you just… be. You’ll notice others on their own too – a book in one hand, a glass in the other, no explanation needed. You’re part of it without effort. No one watches. No one asks.
What should I wear?
Nothing loud. Nothing stiff. Think linen or silk, something with ease. You don’t need to impress – just to feel like yourself at your best. It’s Monaco, but relaxed. A bit of elegance goes a long way here.
What are the cocktails like?
Made with care. Not just poured – built. Whether you order your usual or ask them to surprise you, the drink will arrive exactly as it should: fresh, balanced, maybe a little unexpected. And always served like it matters.
Is there food too?
Yes – but just enough. Small dishes meant to accompany, not distract. They’re quiet, like the place itself. You’ll find something light, something crisp, something that lets you linger a little longer between sips.
How’s the view, really?
It doesn’t try to impress you. It just is. The Mediterranean stretches out in front, the breeze moves softly through the terrace, and for a moment, you forget anything exists beyond this exact spot.
Where is it, exactly?
Inside the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, just along Avenue Princesse Grace. You’ll sense it before you see it – like music or perfume in the air. Just follow the sound of glass and soft laughter.
