Having read great things about this roof top bar and the decent views over the city I had to pay a visit early on a Friday evening when in the city, although I’m not sure I’d be rushing back in the future. Signage wasn’t the clearest to find at first, but simply head to the top floor of the department store and then it’s obvious. It didn’t look very busy at all when I arrived, so when I said to the member of staff on the reception desk I only wanted one drink outside I was surprised to be told they were fully booked and I’d have to stay inside.

The circular bar in the centre of the indoor area is impressive so I sat at a stool there, only to quickly realise there wasn’t any service taking place there, so instead it was a case of flagging down the roaming waiting staff. They were all friendly enough and service of drinks from the bar outside was quick. The prices felt very steep though and 12 Euros for a beer was by far the most I paid anywhere during my stay in the city.

I did venture outside to take a look at the roof top views from the bar seating along the edge (which indeed mostly remained unoccupied during my stay) and, while it offered a good perspective of the city, it wasn’t high enough to be anything really impressive.

I’m sure late in an evening when it’s busier and with the live DJ there’s a much more exciting atmosphere, or if you remember to get a reservation in for a table outside, it’s a bit more special, but for just a drink you might be better elsewhere.
