Nice location for a quick drink but that is as good as it gets. Staff surly and unfriendly. Table was sticky and when asked to clean got bad attitude. Wont be back.

What a truly magnificent experience. I arranged a surprise birthday party for my wife at the Skybar. From the beginning nothing was too much for the staff. On the day of the event Ana the manager even came up with a clever phrase to alert...the upstairs bar when my wife and I arrived for the event. The waiters & barmen where amazing, nothing was too much and they kept me updated throughout the evening with the status of my total bill as I had set a limit. The catering was done through the venue and we ordered from the canape menu. The food was truly delicious, again the waiters asked how we would like to time the menu so that there was a steady flow of food. The venue itself has an amazing view of Table Mountain and surrounds. I will definitely be back. Thank you again to all the staff for a truly amazing experience.More

Stopped in here for a drink, great location for a few drinks in a relaxed environment. It is a unique bar with a cozy space on top of the hotel, not your traditional commercialized roof top bar.

I'm not normally one to criticise because I know how tough it can be in hospitality but honesty is the best way so I've always believed .... If you want a view yeah this has that but as Capetown develops around Sky Bar the only...real positive for this bar is slowly diminishing I'm afraid. If you want to sit in a dusty backpackerish environment amongst decorations of faded plastic flowers, drinking very average wine from years old cracking plastic glasses and flutes this is the place for you !! The staff there were nice : - ) Sorry ... just can't understand how this bar made the top 10 Roof Top Bar List ... mind you only went to 1 other while I was in Cape Town.More

When visiting The Grey Hotel last week. I went on to The Sky Bar. Its the hotels rooftop bar. The view is stunning, fully view of the entire Table Mountain. The cocktails were very good. I would recommend the Grey Standard, which is their signature...cocktail. Nice deep house, chill house music in the background. Must go in Cape TownMore

A hidden gem in the trendy suburb of De Waterkant in Cape Town. We enjoyed a relaxed Saturday afternoon with feet dipped in the +/-10m long, 1.3m deep pool. A cocktail bar with soothing house music and majestic views of Table Mountain and Cape Town's...harbour easily make this the most underrated bar I've come across in a long time. I'll definitely be packing my swimming shorts and sunblock next time.More

The Sky Bar has become quite an institution for us. The hidden gem boasts spectacular views and a lovely pool. They are unfortunately extremely expensive, but worth it most of the time.

Sky Bar is one of my favourite weekend spots. It's great for chilling and having drinks. Take a dip in the small pool and absorb the summer sun. The bar offers most alcoholic beverages and is reasonably priced for such a stunning venue. If there...are 30 people here, it's crowded. Good for youngsters and people who like being in the sun.More
