About this place
Scenic Bar Boasts Serene Vibes & Cocktails
Perched elegantly above the skyline, this delightful bar effortlessly merges the allure of modern elegance with warm hospitality. Upon entering, the space immediately captures you – a stylish juxtaposition of comfy seating against wide-pane windows that frame the sprawling cityscape, every bit as breathtaking under the London sun as it is under the twinkling night sky. The rooftop boasts cozy sofas draped with snug blankets—a thoughtful touch for when the chill in the air conveys a slight note of London's notorious weather. The multilingual staff, particularly Sree and Rafael, added to the charm with their attentive service and engaging interaction, making guests feel not just welcome but genuinely valued.The cocktails provide more than just a spirited lift—they are an alchemical celebration of taste, craft, and whimsy, meticulously mixed to both intrigue and satisfy. Even amidst the delightful anticipation served at happy hour, it’s impossible not to revel in each sip within these parameters defined by excellence. Despite a few fleeting concerns about pricing versus potions, the experience remains intoxicatingly pleasant, made positively radiant by the dynamic atmosphere and infectious camaraderie among server and guest alike. Punctuated by selective techno beats from an engaging DJ, evenings burn with vibrant energy as patrons linger on the terrace under gentle heaters, soaking up melodies alongside mesmerizing views. This elevated gem certainly warrants visits over repeated seasons. — Nigel Gourmet
