Its a cool bar just because its concept is neat. If you sont like a roof top bar area you honestly may be a serial killer. Speaking of killer the legend himself Rossdadari was playing some of the mountain jam he’s known for. A dash of rasta, funk,rock,grunge,indie,gospel. You know the good shit! So if souls needs a good breeze and a swift moose knuckle punch the place is definitely gonna have what you need. Tell em bootsie sent ya.

The roof top bar was sooo cool. Affordable and nice enough bartenders. The decoration is the selling point for me. Tons of big crystals and cool (somehow) not cheesy fake trees. I would definitely make this a frequent haunt if this was my home town.

Had a get together/good bye party here and it was amazing. There were so many levels and each rooftop had a different theme. The staff were friendly & the music was pretty nice. There is a Fee to get in but it’s not much. You get a pretty cool view of the market square and so on. I would recommend coming here to hang out, see the cool rooftops and views!

What a super cute roof top bar. There are potentially 7 different bars in one with this being on top of the 3rd floor. Highly decorated with gorgeous crystals and stone, anyone who is into crystals and chakras will love this place! Calm peace and serenity was how I felt, we came on a Tuesday and there was about 20 or 30 people here. I was told the place gets packed after 11 on weekends.

Not a fan that they allow smoking or that they only have boxed wine to serve, but other than that, this is a really cool place.

3 stories and you can also access the crystal bar next door from the rooftop. Great bartenders.

Loved reading all the quotes on the walls. They also have live music.

Just a bar. I expected so much more from all the great comments and we were disappointed to the max. The security didn’t search us, I had a big bag on me…the drinks were very basic. The music was okay and the rooftop has a nice vibe though. If you are not a smoker you might want to avoid floors 1&2, they smell very strong like smoke.

I visited this spot twice in one day—it was that good! The rooftop vibe was perfect for enjoying drinks with stunning views and a lively atmosphere. Later that night, we returned for more fun, dancing until closing. Highly recommend for a memorable day-to-night experience!

My husband and I have always enjoyed coming to silent disco night on Wednesdays for its atmosphere and drinks, but my recent experience with the bartending staff was unprofessional and discourteous. There were two young ladies working one of the side bars on the rooftop, I didn’t catch their names one was short with black hair and the other was blonde. While I understand sometimes it gets hectic working at a bar, there was a relatively short line when it was our turn to order. From the beginning there was no friendly smile or costumer service. I had just a few questions and the blonde girl answered me quite rudely and fast like i was annoying her. Once I got my drink I asked for extra limes and the other girl started giggling and grabbed a few with her bare hands while the tongs were right there. I just walked away without my limes. The whole experience made me feel uncomfortable as a guest. While I won’t be coming back, I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for others and you all can actually hire some professional bartenders. There is no reason two girls should be giggling at me while i’m simply asking them things that pertain to their job. This must not be of much importance to them because they didn’t seem to care much about customer service or their tips!!

I have been to the rooftop beer garden several times now and always have an amazing time. Their London mules are excellent!!! (London mule is a Moscow mule made with gin instead of vodka), they have green tea shots, great beer. Such an incredible atmosphere to come and catch up with friends. The views are gorgeous and the decor takes it over the top. Will definitely return.
