Skyline Rooftop Bar — Restaurant in Venice

Nice rooftop bar, the main section has a great view over the city of Venice and the back part has a direct view of the sunset. The section overlooking the city has 10 tables next to the edge and can be in demand as you would expect. Staff were warm and welcoming upon arrival l.

Drinks are well mixed and taste good, a little on the pricey side compared to places on the main island but to be expected for the view you get. We went for three drinks from the signature cocktail list, Sernissima Glow, Blushing Dawn and Crimson Flame. All three drinks were €23 each and came with a little snack of popcorn for the table.

I would recommend this bar especially around twilight time just before sunset so you can see the sun falling over the city.

Thing to note would be that if you’re visiting this bar and are not a guest at the hotel you will need to get a boat to the island. This is not so much an issue during the day as the hotel has a stop right next to the reception door and boats are quite frequent on the Alilaguna line which we caught from the Zattere stop across the way and took a couple of minutes however we noticed that once it went dark this was not the case. We spoke to a couple outside and they said they had been waiting over an hour to go across near Zattere. We decided to go to Giudecca Palanca public line stop which is a 10 minute walk but we were able to jump straight on the number 2 line boat that took us across to Zaccaria stop near St. Marks Square. Just something to be aware of if you go, check the public...

Make sure you book a table in advance if you come in the evening. Reservation via mail was friendly and easy.

We had a table at 8 p.m. the right time to enjoy the views at sunset. However, apart from the views this location was rather disappointing. We were waiting for the 30 min before we could even place our order. It took another 15min before the first drink and food arrived. Unacceptable for a bar and the Service was definitely not too busy. Just very slow and not very attentive.

The 20€ cocktails we ordered were average and disappointing.

The place is definitely overrated and the quality of food and service not worth the price. You pay for the view. If that’s fine for you come here. If not, stay away. There’s definitely better places to enjoy good views and good food & drinks at the same time (e.g. Terrazza Danieli) slow and not very attentive.

The 20€ cocktails we ordered were average and...

Pros: Cool outdoor ambiance. Great place to watch the sunset. Trendy uplighting after dark.

Cons: The cocktails here were very subpar. My drink had so much ice that it melted and watered down the flavor of the drink within 10 minutes considering this was an outdoor bar on a hot day. My wife's drink was not memorable either. Disappointing for an upscale establishment such as this one. The service is extremely slow, but this is nothing unique in Venice. It was 25 minutes before we even saw a drink menu. The drinks are pricey, but again, this is nothing new in Venice. None of the food looked good enough to try. The location of this hotel and rooftop bar is not very convenient. It's a 20 minute walk from the closest vaporetto station, unless you pay an $8 upcharge to go directly to and from the hotel. This rooftop bar was not worth the ride here...
