    It’s was absolutely wonderful, my host and I shared the same name and the drinks were so amazing. The atmosphere is so calm and reminiscent of the time where the bar is clearly set. Love the vibe in the place, would definitely go again, my fiancé and I give it 5 stars!

    This is a unique concept. We loved the meet and greet at the door and the decor. We had 3 cocktails between us. They were excellent and reasonably priced. We did not have food. I would go back again with houseguests to enjoy the experience.

    It was extremely busy and a bit chaotic, but we expected this as it was during Comic-Con. Top of the Hyatt is an annual tradition for us during Comic-Con and it did not disappoint. I do look forward to visiting when it is not a special event.
