Luke Bornheimer

Fantastic view (especially at night) with overpriced drinks and food; If you want to do this on the cheap , sit by the windows, split a drink and take in the view for 20–30 minutes before leaving.

SFist

Find yourself a nook with couple of chairs, and the dimly lit corners of this place, pressed up against the glass and overlooking every angle of the city , can become ideal spots for canoodling. Read more

Pavan Kulkarni

Best view of the SF downtown ,no reservations so go early and find a window side seat. Flat bread , chips with hummus kinda dip are must try.A ll the drinks are good.

Daniel Chen

Very great view . Only got beer and shots and just as expected. on a Friday night it's too crowded for a large group of people. Didn't stay long. But would come here on weekdays to bring a friend/date

Daniel Corsen

Probably one of the best views in downtown. Great desserts , make sure try the caramel corn pannacotta.

Simon Franklin

The view was decent enough. You’ll get a scanty glimpse of the bay bridge through the skyscrapers , and see the Salesforce Tower in all it’s lofty glory. Bourbon Sour = ok + the bar got a bit crowded

Ashley Miller

Incredible view and good cocktails . It's really crowded most nights I've been there, even weeknights, so it's hard to find a seat or table. Or just walk around and take in the view.

Rustem Feyzkhanov

try dolores mule - best taste with great view .

Sezin K

The view is amazing so is it's gin coctails on the list. The prices are not cheap but it's normal considering the view and the bar having been in Marriot hotels rooftop

Karla Baratto

The view is awesome. Food is not impressive. I would come back for drinks before or after dinner . It seems like around 9:30 is a good time to arrive.

Sid Desai

Get there early, ask for a corner table , they don't take reservations but will take care of you if you have something to celebrate. ;-)

Michael Lucas

Recently renovated, great time to try the new food and cocktails . In any case it's still one of the best views from a bar in SF.

Tim

This is a place you must come to when in San Francisco. Fabulous view of the city and the bay

Rahim Hashim

Beautiful view of the city , both at night and during the day. And unlike most hotel bars , the food was quality AND not overpriced. Highly recommended

An Sheng

Often too crowded , but if you can get seats it's a great date spot . Try the skyline punch

Karrie Holderness

Worth the $16 Angus Burger , with the most breath taking views of San Francisco I have experienced this far! Beautiful in the afternoon Or night!

España Sheriff

Expensive, appetizers only. But this is a place to impress friends with the AMAZING view ! Top the big glass jukebox building (enter on 4th). It's like being inside the Death Star.

Francesca Hernandez

Get here early between 8:30-9:00 to get a seat next to the window! Skyline Punch is great! Good service . They also have small plates too. No dinner service.

Jena Kauf

Try the Cheese and Fruit Plate - I don't usually eat cheese . but when I do. It's the cheese plate with honey comb goodness. At the view.

Ina Li

Get a glass of delicacy from Napa and enjoy the view of San Francisco by the window

Nana

Flight for the window view seat i.e. lurking = winning ????????. Drinks are good and pricey but worth it. Chicken wings ???? yum!

Stacy

marvelous view from 39th floor! The Manhattan is good and strong enough.

Ashok Bala

Great location.. Good choices of drink options.Try to be there little early to get the right spot

Lena Ye

The view is gorgeous but good luck trying to find a seat by the window (or any seat) on the weekends.. Go at sunset on a week day instead!

Sarahnaut

Watch the sun set from here with views of the Bay Bridge . (If it's not too foggy). Drinks are good too.

Sarah Ezanidis

View is fantastic. The drinks are hotel prices so to be expected. Decent wine list . All glasses are under $20.

JulienF

Amazing view from the 39th floor on beautiful San Francisco, go there and have a drink with a fabulous view in town !

Burcu Atakan

Amazing view .. must see when in SF

John Trigonis

One of the best things about SF (and for me, there's not many "best things about SF"!)

Raina Sharma

Amazing view and zinfandel boneshaker! Not much to eat though ????????????

Bhavana Srinivasa

Best view you could get of San Francisco. Get there early so you could get a nice table.

Steve Woods

Try visiting at various times. The view changes as the light changes. It is always awesome at whatever time though.

Jean-Charles Giomi

Great place for a date. Valet parking , then get a nice table with a view , and enjoy the cocktails ...

Erica L

Gorgeous views all around. Great for drinks after a long day. Enjoy the local Napa wines !

Jeff Cotrupe

My table is less than 3 ft from the edge of this glass tower, so my photos are breathtaking...but I'm miles away from having anyone take my order. Hey, it is called the View...not the Eat...

Krystyl

Great date night spot ....only if you get a seat near the window of course

Steven Waller

Tricky to get a seat on a Friday night but worth having a beer to take in the views

Kathryn Keeling

Great cocktails with a better view . Snacks were also good. Have the cheese platter .

Ali Anderson

The view lives up to its name... Great overlook of the city - expensive drinks/food.
