Cityscape

The location is good for sunsets (as advertised), but when we arrived, we were refused seating (in an abrupt manner) on the side that would enable us to watch the sunset by one of the staff, claiming that the west side was booked for a private party. They appeared to make everyone sit on the opposite side from the sunset. We left after sunset, and there was still no one seated there. That seemed unnecessary and made me wish I had gone somewhere else to see the sunset. Unfortunately, once we had arrived, there was no chance of making it anywhere else for the sunset, so we stayed. I'd suggest calling ahead to see if they are actually seating people on the west side to avoid a disappointing experience. The food and drink were good, but overpriced. That would have been fine, had we seen the sunset from our table. On the plus side, we did get to walk over to the sunset side for a few minutes before we left without being ejected. But it wasn't the experience we expected from the reviews and website. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, but the initial greeting left me feeling somewhat unwelcome.

Breathtaking views of the city! Beautiful atmosphere and very friendly staff. However, price for drinks are crazy high, delicious but don't plan on anything being reasonably priced.

A beautiful place with fantastic views. Service with a smile from every person. I had wine €15 and daughter a daiquiri €17. It was well worth it. I would recommend this place to everyone who visits San Fransisco. I was lucky enough to have been told about it otherwise would not have known.

Cityscape Bar & Lounge certainly has one undeniable selling point: the view. Situated 46 stories up, it offers a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of San Francisco’s skyline that is hard to match. If you’re looking for a spot to soak in the city from above, this is definitely the place to be. However, beyond the stunning scenery, the experience was just okay. The cocktails, while decent, were quite overpriced for what you get. The portions were smaller than expected, leaving me feeling like I was paying more for the ambiance than the actual drink. It’s clear that the view is what you’re really paying for here. Overall, Cityscape is worth a visit if you’re aiming for a great photo op or want to impress someone with the city’s skyline. Just don’t expect too much in terms of value for money when it comes to the drinks.

I was somewhat disappointed by cityscape but it still has a great view and plenty of seating. There are loud protests right outside the entrance and to get to it enter the elevator lobby on the left, then take a right to the end. The gin drink I ordered was very refreshing though a bit on the pricey side. The Tako octopus was about average too small and expensive for the small amount you get. Maybe if the place was more dimly lit and more lounge type music it would improve the atmosphere.

GORGEOUS!!! make sure to go to the two elevators all the way at the end of the elevator row to get up there. Honestly such a cool sky bar. Highly recommend.

The view of San Francisco is AMAZING here. My first time being in a skyscraper! You can see the entire city, the Golden Gate Bridge, the sunset, and the night lights once the sun goes down. Elton was our server, he was the most pleasant and kind man ever. Conversed with us about so many things and truly cared about us. LOVE him. Also gave us some amazing tips on where to go on our vacation. 100/10 recommend coming here. Love you Elton 🩷

I didn't try any food but the cocktails are good. It's nothing mind blowing but what you are paying for is the view. Let's just say if these cocktails tasted like this on the ground floor and we're priced the same... I wouldn't be worth it.

Beautiful views of the city On 46 floor- go to tower 1 elevators Drinks are expensive but a little cheaper than at other rooftop bars such as The View Friendly server Note- they do not have any hot tea or coffee (wanted something warm on a cold evening) Theyre nonalcoholic drinks are about $15 and glasses of wine start about the same

Always a good time and good views here. If you're not familiar with getting to the here it can be tricky so definitely ask for directions and assistance with the elevators. Food is amazing, mainly tapas. Drinks and cocktails are delicious!

Very pretty views of the city and decent drink menu. Do not come here hungry because the food is more tapas and light bites. The service was amazing and I got an espresso martini, which is not on the menu. Def recommend this place for pre/post dinner drinks.

Visited my brother who was staying at the hotel downstairs and met him at Cityscape for some drinks. Our waiter was super fun and had some jokes up his sleeve. I ordered multiple rounds of their espresso martini, it was a really good drink from what I can remember! LOL. It was super frothy which i LOVE in an espresso martini. The views are just amazing. Sit near a window, order small bites and have a drink. Romanticize SF!

Visited cityscapes on a Friday night around 7pm. It was early enough where there were still a couple of lounge chairs open in front of the window. The service was attentive when we first sat down but allowed us to relax as we were enjoying our conversation/ food and beverage. I had a glass of rose and the charcuterie board to bunch on. The views were really great and I definitely would come back!

Cityscape is the tallest skybar in the city. Located on the 46th floor,this place offers one of the best views of the city. I'm picky with my espresso martinis and I can gladly say they make it very well here! Drinks are pricey though but what do you expect? You're paying for the view. The inside of the skybar is nice and cozy. Wasn't super busy when I visited but service was a bit on the slower side. Haven't visited since they reopened and renovated the inside so I'll need to make another trip here. Overall a solid choice to visit and stop by for a drink before heading to another bar.

What a beautiful place to have a night time cocktail. The view is absolutely stunning. They have some great drinks and snacks. My husband and I ordered a bottle of champagne and we just enjoyed the beautiful view. Our server Tony was great! I look forward to coming back this time right when they open so we can see the view in the daylight.

The view gives it an automatic 4 star. We had an early dinner res nearby and decided to visit Cityscape for a scenic nightcap before heading home. The view was definitely worth it, and I appreciate how the seating is set up so that even if you're not in the seats closest to the windows, the next set of seats are at elevated high tops so you still get a pretty unobstructed view. The servers were kind in that they'll offer to take your photo when they see you desperately trying to take a selfie. Only thing that knocked it down a star (and nearly 2 stars) are the cocktails are very mehhh. We got 2 dirty vodka martinis, and at $18 each, they used Smirnoff and tasted like old olive juice. Would return for views, and maybe a glass of wine next time.

Beautiful, exquisite views from the 46th floor of the SF Hilton. Grab a drink and small bites for a hot night on the town. Admission is free, just find a spot and indulge in libations, mocktails also available. Nosh on charcuterie, cheese plates, and more. We sipped on: *Basil Bay-- gin, pear, tonic, heavy on the lemon *Halloween special Spooky Mule with jalapeño *Millennial Pink Cooler-- rhubarb juice, simple syrup, mint, lemon lime soda Elton took care of us and made sure we had enough seats. Drinks were brought promptly. A friend was able to snap some vibrant sunset shots. We lucked out and visited during all Hallow's Eve's full moon! They're open from 4:30pm-12pm Sunday-Thursday, and until 1am on Friday-Saturday. Feel free to bring the kids before 10pm on weekends. Everyone deserves to see 360° views this breathtaking. We had so much fun soaking up the views and catching up. Highly recommend!

Cityscape is the tallest skybar in San Francisco. No reservations needed because there are lots of tables to accommodate hundreds of guests at one time. Staff are very friendly and quick to serve customers. Food and drinks are top-tier and delicious. But the most appealing part is the breathtaking skyline view (night/day). This place I've invited friends and family in multiple occasions.

La mejor experiencia una vista espectacular y el servicio excelente Tony es muy amable y amigable, definitivamente un lugar donde tiene que ir.

Came here for some drinks. The views are incredible and the servers are very attentive. I recommend the expresso martini!

Amazing view and amazing drinks. Decent selection of small items to go with the drink. A bit pricey but I guess thats what you pay for the view. Service is super good. Servers are friendly and courteous. I live in South Bay, but I go there whenever I have a friend over to show them a cool place. Or when I want to celebrate something with a lavish drink

I'm surprised we didn't know of this place earlier, but we learned about Cityscape through a Yelp newsletter featuring noteworthy SF bars - thanks, Yelp! Cityscape is located on the 46th floor of the Hilton. The views of the city are unbelievable, truly a sight to see. We both had some bubbles, my partner a Brut, and me a Chandon rose, both tasty selections. Didn't try any food on this occasion, but the charcuterie boards that passed by us looked amazing, and generous in portion. Service was warm and attentive. This place needs to advertise better; arguably the best views in SF, but we had never heard of it until the Yelp newsletter. The one caveat is, it's tricky getting to and from the bar. The elevators require key cards, and we had to go to the lobby for assistance in getting back to the garage on the 7th floor, as we were not staying at the hotel and did not have cards. It took some time and legwork. The hotel also needs more signage directing people to Cityscape. I understand the key card security system, but if you have a destination bar/restaurant in a hotel, you need to make it more accessible to visitors. It seems like they're working on it. I definitely recommend checking out Cityscape at least once, the photo ops are incredible.

This is a great hotel bar if your preference is a lounge-type setting with one of the best views above the city. The seating can be a challenge on busy days, and the hours that hover close to sunset. Sometimes there are private events, so you might need to plan accordingly if your party is more than 2 people. The drinks are good here. The bartenders do keep good consistent work on every drink. Their signature drinks are tasty and offer a decent selection. The staff is also excellent here but maybe a little overwhelmed at times when the place is overcrowded. The only concern for their menu is the limited food selection for a lounge, so don't come here hungry and expect a burger.

This is a Nice chill spot to catch a vibe and chill out on a date night. The bartender was really nice and really cool with explaining about all the drinks & had question's he could answer so it was a cool experience.

Came by with my friend who was out of town for a cool view. Solid service and easy to find a spot last minute. Crowd in the elevators were a bit questionable; fine once we got up nonetheless. Didn't eat anything but drinks were good.

Great views and great service! My friend and I went here to look out at the city after a long days worth of walking around. The servers were so nice and helpful! A great place to relax and over look the city. Located in a hotel :) Top floor ;)

Today we have been bar hopping to places with great ambience and beautiful views. This place is beautiful. The view is extraordinary at night. The drinks were very good. I will definitely come here again. I can't help but repeat myself about the view, I totally loved it. The service was above and beyond. Our waiter, Jose, was very helpful, he outdid himself in customer service. So glad he helped us. He made our experience at that rooftop extra special. Thank you Jose.

Service and ambience are really nice, the people that works there know how to take pictures specially at night time. The food is kind of pricey but its really nice view. I will be back here again before dark. Thank you Christian and the other men who took the picture.

Very nice very scenic rooftop bar located on the 46th floor of the Hilton in Union Square in SF. The minute you get there you are breathtaken by the view. I recommend going just before sunset so you can catch the sunset view of all of SF from both angles. And then after the sun sets you see the city come to life at night, it really is something special. The view is completely unobstructed so you really can see everything from the Golden Gate Bridge to Twin Peaks. The drinks are yummy too! Tried their Basil Bay drink which had pear and basil with Gin, it was really nice! Espresso martinis were good too. Great place to meet up with some friends over drinks and spectacular views!

You're definitely paying for the view, which is fantastic. You get 360 views of San Francisco, which we amazingly timed for sunset and had a wonderful time. The cheese and charcuterie board is small but flavorful for what amount you get. Truffle crisps are an overpriced cone of chips, but good! Comes with a tasty dip. Definitely recommend more so for the experience of grazing while having a great view, as opposed to eating great food. Staff are friendly and attentive.

Such a fun spot! Definitely recommend. Just go in knowing you may have to wait for seating and just enjoy the amazing views. Drinks weren't the priciest, but also weren't the best. Still would recommend going for the experience!

Pricey hotel bar with great views and drinks. House was a great server! The Barb's Back in Town is a great drink. We had one early in the evening and then the other later. First one was better with a bit more spice. Second was a little bit of a letdown especially at $24+.

Make sure you read how to get in there's, it's through the Hilton hotel, up specific elevators. Some of the entrances were under construction so we had to back track to get in. But we were sat down right away, food and drink came out quickly. This isn't a restaurant so don't expect to get a full on meal. I was expecting everything to be dressed very fancy here but that surprisingly wasn't the case which i liked. It's just a bunch of people, out of towners, people looking for a good photo and elope celebrating a birthday just looking to relax and enjoy the views.

Of course the views were amazing! I ordered the Pisco Sour drink on their signature drink menu and it was pretty great. Decided to end the night with a tequila espresso martini and it literally took 3 minutes to get to my table from the time I ordered it. I thought that was pretty weird considering how long the other rounds took. I couldn't really taste any tequila so I had my partner order one as well and his took just as long and didn't really taste like tequila either. I left without a buzz and felt like maybe I should have stuck to their signature drinks. The views though...

Super rooftop bar that many have never heard of! Until 9 pm on weekends, it's much like The View in the Marriott except not as dingy. Quiet jazz, expensive cocktails and an amazing view all around. After 9 pm on weekends, when the DJ comes on, this place gets turnt - Its like a club and a lounge had a baby. The dance floor is small but fun, and there's usually enough seating on the side if you just want to chill and enjoy the view with friends or a date. The cocktails are fine, nothing mind-blowing. But the view and the vibe are worth going for!

Amazing city view while enjoying great cocktails! Hotel room was clean and comfy. Balcony was a plus.

Friendly, helpful staff. Incredible views with clean windows (take note Top of the Mark). Delicious cocktails.

I came here twice and brought my friend here. I think it's a great place to take your date to. You get a nice view of the city and enjoy some delicious drinks. It's a bit dark but perfect for a romantic date. My date loves this spot but it is on the higher price range since cocktail drinks are $24. It's more high end come to most lounge I have been to. I love the cheese board, perfect snack if you got hungry late at night. Service wise is amazing too. They will take your order right away and never bother you too much so you have some personal time with your date or with your friends.

Great views of the City and a good vibe. Solid service and good cocktails. Enjoyed a nightcap there.

Wonderful place to go at the end of an evening with friends, a loved one, or family. Looking at the sites outside the windows was beautiful. We had about 20 of us go up together we each had individual checks and paid for our own food but the waiter insisted upon his putting an 18% tip on everythingbecause he felt he could do that. I thought that was rather cheap of him we would've given him probably a 20% tip but this way that's what he got. The small plates were very nice, the wines were nice list and the drinks were plentiful.

Me and my husband recently decided to visit cityscape for my 30th birthday & we had a deeply disappointing experience that highlighted serious issues with customer treatment & discrimination. Upon arriving, we were informed we could sit anywhere we liked so We sat down and ordered our drinks ,when we saw that there was an open space to sit where we could see the view alot better and it looked more comfortable, after confirming with our waiter if we would be able to move seatings he mentioned we could but it had to be cleaned first, after a few minutes, the space was indeed clean, we decided to move there. However, shortly after settling in, a white man who claimed to be the "host" approached us in a confrontational manner. Without warning, he grabbed our drinks and forced us to return to our original seats, claiming they needed to move us back because a group who was waiting needed this space, To not only me and my husband's surprise but also the group's surprise as well, he then proceeded to move individuals who had taken our original seats, creating further confusion and discomfort. It felt as though we were being singled out for no valid reason. We were so shocked and all he had to say was " well if it makes you feel better , I will pay for your drinks" money wasn't the issue here , I then told my husband, we should leave , we have never been treated this way, and As we were leaving , the larger group meet us and said they were leaving as well because they saw how we were treated , Ive never felt so humiliated ,this experience was not only embarrassing but also incredibly frustrating. I felt disrespected and unwelcome, It was my birthday , we were here to enjoy ourselves and It was clear that me and my husband ( we both are Mexican/American) were being treated differently from others in the venue . The gesture "paying for our drinks" felt inadequate, disrespectful and it did not address the core issue of how we were treated. This incident has left a lasting negative impression of this business for us, It's crucial for businesses now days with inflation, to ensure that all customer feel respected and valued, regardless of their group or background. I hope management can take steps to improve their customer service practices and create a more inclusive environment. I encourage others to share their experiences and for the venue to reflect on how they can better serve ALL customers!

Views were absolutely stunning!!! Cityscape is located on the 46th floor of The Hilton hotel. My server was oh so sweet and kind to me--absolutely appreciated him. Tiramisu was made perfectly and this portion size could have been shared between 2-3 people effortlessly! I enjoyed 2 glasses of Prosecco

I went to Cityscape with my beloved recently. This is the tallest bar in San Francisco. Cityscape is on the 46th floors with amazing views. It feels like you are in an airplane. My beloved ordered an Old Fashioned. She thought the drink was great and very well done. There are three simple vegan options on the menu including edamame, chips, and mixed nuts. We went with the edamame. They were quite alright. Cityscape is a perfect spot for amazing views of San Francisco. It is a nice spot for a light bite before getting dinner elsewhere afterwards. The service was humble and kind. We will definitely be back.

Views from the 46th floor were amazing. My drink was good but the edamame was COLD. Just so you know it comes cold apparently. I usually always receive edamame hot so it was disappointing to receive it cold this time.

I came in for some drinks for the first time and was extremely impressed and pleased with the service I received. Our waiter, Vitellio, was incredible in every aspect of customer service and ensured we had the best service hands down. I would absolutely return specifically because of Vitellio's service. He made us feel welcomed and at home, and was a very refreshing personality while other waiters seemed to be straight faced. If I could have Vitellio's service every time I would return multiple multiple times.

Stopped here for some drinks on a Saturday afternoon. Not too busy, great drink menu and great views of the bay. Our waitress was very attentive and even comped my beer because they didn't have what I originally wanted on the menu. A diamond in the rough, will be back soon.

Came here on a Saturday night, right before sundown to catch that beautiful sunset. This bar is located inside the Hilton on the top floor. The elevators to access this bar aren't located by the lobby/bar area, they're behind that area, requires another minute of walking. Walking into this hotel felt like I was in Vegas, lots of activity, people walking around, drinking at the bar, lounging and grabbing snacks at the mini store inside. There was even a Moet & Chandon vending machine, $25 for a small bottle. I thought to myself this is definitely the hotel to book when partying with friends. Once we got to the bar it was open seating and we grabbed front row seats. The waiter was kind but he forgot about our shrimp cocktail, I get it, it was the rush hour so looks like management needs to hire more servers. We ordered the Third Wheel and 1919 which were pricey, strong and good, the Hennessy cocktail was delicious! Overall the experience was great, I highly recommend, especially if you're a tourist.

My new favorite hangout spot. Love love the views and ambience. Will def keep going back

If you want to make an impression bring your friends here, it's such a vibe! Especially during sunset I recommend the espresso martini and good company. Enjoy the beautiful views

I have attempted to come here before, but it was closed for a private event. The cityscape lounge is part of the Hilton hotel. Annnnndddd OMG! This is the best view of the city. I am a total sucker for dates and sunsets with the best view. I was beyond thrilled that they were not closed this time and that we were able to grab a little snack and drinks while enjoying the view. Completely recommend coming here before your dinner reservations. The parking kinda sucks, but and it's down the street from the hotel, but it's sooo worth it!

The Mrs. and I had drinks on Saturday night at the Cityscape Lounge which is located at the top of the Hilton Union Square. We were staying at Parc 55 so it was just a short walk across the street. Finding the right elevator to get to Cityscape can be like playing Three Card Monte. Three or four of the elevators say Cityscape above them, but only one actually takes you there. If I recall it was elevator number three. Or door number three if you're a game show fan. Cityscape has open seating. We took a seat on the west side of the lounge. There is also a bar in the center of the room as well. The view from where we were seated was pretty good. As one would expect in San Francisco the ever present fog rolled in which constantly changed the view. The sun was present, but just couldn't poke through that San Francisco fog. The service was really good. Not what I usually expect in a hotel bar. Our server was Jose. He was very personable and shared his knowledge of the city and his early life there. We discussed the challenges facing San Francisco. Which are the same as other cities despite what the elephants in the room might say. Cityscape offers a full cocktail menu as well as a really good selection of beer and wine. There are some shareable plates available as well.

I've ventured here a few times for dates or a GNO and always had a good time. The location, the view, the service, the ambiance oozed classy and romance but I came here recently and there were a bunch of young adults. Maybe they reserved a section for an after party to resume after graduation or prom but holy smokes it was like I stepped into a Teen Bop party. What's also new is the small dance floor behind the bar. Again, great place to grab a drink but hopefully this new crowd isn't permanent.

You cannot beat the view here! Our server was very nice, and the drinks were yummy. Would definitely recommend anyone to come here.

I love this spot!! It reminds me of some airport lounges, as the ambiance is quite soothing. It has recently been revamped, and I look forward to hosting clients in the bar/lounge for upcoming conferences.

Tower 1, 46th floor. I had no idea this place existed until I stayed at this Hilton location. You truly get 360 degree views of the city. Come just before the sunset with your sunglasses and enjoy the view. I came both nights during my two night stay and I enjoyed it very much. The staff was great the drinks were really tasty. I got Millennial Pink both nights as it fits my taste just perfectly. They do serve food here as well, but I didn't have any of it during my visits. I love the multi-levels of the venue as well. Since there are different towers to this property and if you're visiting it is best to go to Tower 1 and look at the floor for which elevators take you to Cityscape.

Stopped by last night and yes the views are still Incredible. However there is no elegance here! Bartenders and bar backs are dressed like casual hotel workers rather than a place of elegance. I can only imagine they are union workers. The drink menu is filled with over sweet drinks that may be perfect for 21 year old girls. Kind of feels like a Hilton hotel buffet at night.
