Which rooftop is best for the countdown?
For the skyline, Sky Bar on the 16th floor of Renaissance Lucknow (4.4 from 1,721 reviews, about ₹4,000 or more for two). On a smaller budget, Owl Cafe’s rooftop in Gomti Nagar (4.4, about ₹400 to 2,000) never closes, so nobody hurries you out at 12:05. Carry a layer; our rooftop cafés guide rates 19 more.
