It is overhyped and overpriced. There are plenty of other cocktail bars with a view that aren’t as pretentious. Why is this place considered exclusive?

A beautiful outside table with a fabulous view of St Stephen’s Basilica on a stunningly sunny June afternoon. Service was attentive without being obtrusive and the prices were very reasonable considering the setting. Would definitely recommend and absolutely return. Thank you to all the team. X

Bit disappointed tbh. I specifically made mention at time of booking that my wife and I were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. We were greeted with "happy anniversary" on our arrival.....and that was it. I wasn't expecting the world but a little token drink or effort would've been nice. The open air terrace was nice but we were shown to a table with low seats which seemed to defeat the object of a sky bar and being able to appreciate the view. We did manage to eventually change tables which made for a better experience. All in all Ive had better experiences for the money. I think there's too many bars of this kind that are happy to take your money without getting the basics right.
High Note Sky BarResponded on June 6, 2025
Dear Paul Thank you very much for your feedback. I am truly sorry that your 20th wedding anniversary celebration did not meet your expectations. We regret not making the occasion more memorable and apologize for the lack of a special gesture at arrival! Regarding the seating, we always aim to provide the best views and experience. I’m glad you were able to change tables to better enjoy the sky bar, though this should have been offered to you immediately upon availability! Your comments are very important to us, and we will review our procedures to ensure future guests celebrating special occasions receive the attention they deserve. We hope you will give us another chance to provide you with a more enjoyable experience. Best regards Csaba Palfi Assistant Director of F&B

Well what can say... Booked months in advance. we arrived a little early.... to be welcomed, to get in the lift to be turned away and told to come back.... so we went back... everything was going smooth taken to the roof top, waiter spoke little english, but so what we made it work... we ordered, a couple of mishaps, no more than a couple, but so what we made it work.... Amazing views on the roof top, then the starters come... then well the rain come, not restaurant's fault, at the same time the mains come, attempted to serve them raining under no cover... turns out... no back up plan... moved to the lobby, yep the reception area, food come.... with nothing to eat it with... at that point the food was cold, the manager wanted an argument, blaming the rain... no no the rain is fine, the lack of back up plan... rain was forcast FYI... they failed, they had no organisation and basically screwed it up blaming the group... wont return... paid the bill, removed the service charge.. left with no apology.. id say go when its not raining... they fail to prepare and if that happens you prepare to fail.
High Note Sky BarResponded on June 5, 2025
Dear Guest Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a reservation under your name, which makes it hard to investigate fully. Please know we take your comments seriously, especially regarding the rain management and service, which is indeed the most challenging point of High Note Sky Bar, and many other Sky Bars with open-air terraces! But we do our best to improve our preparations for such situations. If you could share your reservation details or contact info, you can reach me directly through High Note Sky Bar. I would appreciate the chance to discuss this and restore your trust. Thank you again for your valuable input. Best regards, Palfi Csaba Assistant Director of F&B

It’s a great view. Bit showy. We booked a table under the covered terrace and they put us outside (seems there was a function on). Pop in for a drink to get the view but don’t bother eating is my recommendation !
High Note Sky BarResponded on June 3, 2025
Dear Sonia Thank you for your feedback and for appreciating the view from our venue. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding your seating arrangement. On the day of your visit, a private event limited our available space, which made it challenging to accommodate all seating requests. Additionally, as your party arrived later than the reserved time, we had to reassign your table to ensure smooth operations. We understand how disappointing this must have been and are sorry for any frustration caused. I am sure if you'll give us a chance with our menu, you'll change your mind. We hope to welcome you again for a better experience. Kind regards, Csaba Palfi Assistant Director of Food & Beverage

The bar was empty and there were a choice of seating options. We asked to move to a higher table as we were originally seated on a low table. After we had ordered some drinks we proceeded to move and then were asked twice to move a different table even though there was about 4 people in the bar. Based on the attitude of the staff we wouldn’t return.
