Moonraker

"The decor at Moonraker, a rooftop bar at the Pendry Hotel, is incredible—so incredible in fact that you almost forget about the sick waterfront view. As soon as you walk in, you’ll be enveloped by the rays of light that seep through the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the harbor and the skyline. In the evening, the room glows from an assortment of pendant lights that fall dramatically from the ceiling and hover over the circular bronze bar sitting in the center of the room. It’s upscale and classy, romantic and elegant, and great whether you’re looking to impress your date or just to decompress over a glass of Japanese whisky by the patio fire pits." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed

"This rooftop spot located at the Pendry Hotel looks like something from the set of a James Bond film. While you won’t find 007 swirling a martini under the pendant chandeliers raining down from the ceiling, you will find well-dressed hotel guests (no tuxes) looking out the floor-to-ceiling windows at the stunning view of the Wharf. Grab a sunset sour (the bar’s take on a whisky sour made with Japanese whisky) before heading over to the patio fire pits for the kind of romantic evening only Ian Fleming could write.
