High Note SkyBar

Booked for drinks on roof top terrace. As soon as you walk into this restaurant you are presented with stunning surroundings. Theres a piano and someone singing. Next time will definitely be booking for dinner. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. Drinks were really good. Definitely worth a trip but would make a reservation.

Probably the best place to be if you’re looking for bad service. There was one sweet and sympathetic girl, but aside from her, the manager and the men in suits were arrogant and dismissive. The drinks are overpriced, with both the quantity and quality far below what you pay for. When I complained about this, the manager shrugged and said: “That’s what we do here. If you don’t like it, we cannot do anything.” Yes, the view is nice, and everything looks clean, but strangely there were more staff members walking around than actual guests sitting at tables. That should already tell you something. When I tried to pay with American Express, I was told “nobody in Budapest accepts AMEX.” That’s ridiculous—we had used AMEX everywhere else in the city, from small restaurants cafe kor, New York Cafe, or four seasons, or to buying the Budapest Card on the streets. If you’re going to lie, at least know your facts. On top of that, when we left, they even argued with us, saying “people who spend €400 here don’t complain.” Well, we didn’t complain at Hotel New York either—because there the service, food, and quality actually matched the price. This place? Probably the very last spot in Budapest you’d want to waste your money on.

The bar is on the roof of the building, but there is a hostess at the entrance to the building. We arrived without a reservation, so there was only room in the indoor part, a bit of a shame not to see the view, but it was still nice. Good variety of cocktails, quite expensive prices. Very polite waiter service. Good music. We had a great time.

This was by far the best way to round out my day in Budapest. I was instantly greeted by friendly and genuine smiles from EVERY worker and their cocktails are just mind blowing. Don’t shy away from their recommendations! They’re so flavorful and unique and paired so perfectly with the view from the roof. Worth a visit and every penny! Thank you for the great service!

Great drinks with a great view, I recommend coming at sunset! Domi was a really great server and gave us the best suggestions for our drinks. Really enjoyed this bar and would come back

Beautiful venue, indoor and outdoor seating on top of a very nice hotel. Our experience for the food and service was very poor for the price. There was one server for almost all of the tables on a very busy weekend and asking for something took forever. I ordered the duck with side salad and waited almost 45 minutes for dressing while my duck went cold. Someone came to apologize and offer drinks for the issue and then we were charged for everything. I would only recommend coming here for a drink and the beautiful views.

High note skybar has the best view in town! Located next to the basilica, it becomes a magical place to be after sunset! I want to compliment their service and incredible dishes and cocktails! I can't visit Budapest and not this place!

Gorgeous sky lounge with fantastic evening views but shame about the service. We ordered 2 drinks and due to the wobbly table, one cocktail dropped and spilt so instead of running to clean up and replace it they had the audacity to charge me for a drink I hadn't even drunk. The situation is simple to rectify replace the drink and move on but instead it became a blame game. The managers need retraining.
