Let me first start by saying that this place is pushy, and I absolutely don't recommend it. I went here with a bunch of friends after being enticed by the pictures of the bar with cubana seating and pool right in the middle of the bar. While the ambience does live up the expectation I don't recommend the place for the staff and service. The hostess first told us that we need to take table service ( mandatory ) to get a seat. On asking her that why is this mandatory when we see a lot of other groups sitting there without bottle service , they said you can take the spot but if we get someone else who is willing to take bottle service you will need to get up. We concurred with this arrangement. She then told us that we need to move to a different section even with this arrangement, which was fine. We got one round of drinks and some nibbles. Soon after the hostess walked up to our table letting us know that the place is starting to get crowded ( which is absolutely not true , since we could see so many vacant tables ), we will 'have to' take bottle service to continue sitting there. Let me also add that the table to our left and right both did not have bottle service, and were peacefully sitting there with no botheration from the staff. We were the only group that 'had to' take bottle service to continue sitting there. She didn't bother asking us either if we were willing to take another round of drinks or for how long will we be there for. We then told the hostess that we will take the cheque, and leave instead and were not interested in the bottle service. I think this caught her off guard, since she was probably expecting that she would coax us into getting bottle service. However, she agreed and got us the cheque. We left to notice that at least 60 percent of the bar still had open seats with not even a single person queing up at the entrance either. Now I don't know if this was just a manipulative trick to force us into getting bottle service or just a bar policy that they did not know how to enforce and turn down guests who don't want bottle service but I definitely haven't felt this unwelcomed at any other bar. I know that I am not going there again and would like to give this heads up to any other person planning to visit this place.

This is one of my favorite places to go all time in West Hollywood. Drink options galore and the music is probably the best in West Hollywood (if you like hip hop, dance hall, and 90's music). It definitely gets packed Thurs and Saturday nights so dress comfortably, which is not a problem at Skybar.

Great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat. The cocktails are great and the wings, octopus and cauliflower were excellent. We were lucky to nab a couple seats at the bar... just took some friendly hovering and keeping and eye out for openings.

This place is definitely a cool spot to go once because the view is absolutely incredible. However, it's pretty pretentious in my opinion, they made me and two friends wait outside in the cold because we hadn't reserved a table and it "was too full" until a friend inside came and got us just to discover the place was absolutely empty 🙄. The drinks are pretty good but of course super expensive. Overall, a good place to go with a big group of friends for a special occasion.

Nice, stylish bar with lots of space. Great pineapple cider, and near BART. Good service too. However, their happy hour menu is only for $5 well drinks and $1 off all other drinks.

An amazing whiskey sour and that grilled cheese is literally life changing. We came for happy hour and there was space near the books. Got a comfy seat and a strong drink. Will be back for sure.

Came to a meetup here and had a wonderful time. They had good truffle fries and olives too! Vegan so that's all I could have, but they have other things! Great service that kept up with how busy it was because of the event. Bowling lanes are super cool too!

Cool spot to come chill with friends and have some drinks. Its in Bernal Heights, a safe neighborhood in San Francisco. There's plenty of seating if you're coming with a group and they have a cocktail menu if you want to try something different. Has a hipster vibe to it and I dig it. I will definitely come back when I want to come relax and have a few drinks.
