I stayed at the Hilton Union Square this weekend and ended up visiting Cityscape three different times during my stay. On my first visit, I was helped by Jose, and he absolutely made the experience. Not only was he friendly and welcoming, but he took the time to explain some of the history of the bar and recommend several tequila-based cocktails that turned out to be fantastic. His knowledge and customer service were so good that I specifically looked for him on my next two visits. The views at Cityscape are incredible, with different perspectives of San Francisco depending on which side of the bar you're on. Yes, the drinks are on the pricier side, but between the quality, atmosphere, and unbeatable views, they're well worth it. One thing I really like is how easy it is to visit. Just walk into the Hilton Union Square, head to the elevators, and go straight to the 46th floor--no check-in or hassle required. A big shoutout to Jose for making every visit memorable. Great drinks, amazing views, and outstanding service. I'll definitely be back. read more

One of the server that helped us was borderline rude and body shaming. I ordered the truffle potato chips and for the last one he looked at me winked and said for your diet. He was an older white man with a beard who the servers told me was jose. It was extremely belittling and rude. Do not come here if you want to be disrespected and it's sad because the drinks and food were good. After I gave a small tip they even try to come up to you to try to change and contest the amount. read more

Spend New Year's Eve elsewhere--avoid Cityscape. If you want to visit, go on a regular day when the entrance is free. My husband and I attended their New Year's event, and he purchased the tickets last minute at an outrageous price--$475 total for two. That price got us virtually nothing. It was the same usual city view you get any other day at Cityscape. The photo booth was broken, and the only thing included in the admission was a small bottle of sparkling wine. Drinks were sold separately, the snacks for purchase weren't good, the server seemed overwhelmed and barely checked in, and the place wasn't even full. There weren't any special touches or activities to make it feel like a celebration--just another night at Cityscape. Moral of the story: Don't waste your money on their "events." Visit another time, or skip it altogether. read more

Love the view and the broad cocktail and wine list. Great ambience to relax, with pleasant staff. read more

Cityscape - Wine and olives - Cocktail Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

While staying the night at the Hilton Union Square, we decided to check out the famous sky view bar -CityScape! We took the elevator to the 46th(!) floor and were met with the host who told us to have a seat anywhere we wanted. We were pleased there was no wait time on a Friday at 4pm. We were stunned at the views up there ! The menu was extensive with plenty of choices...... except for us Non -Drinkers. I really wish they had more NA Beer options but still we opted for their 1 NA option- the hoppy water . My husband didn't like it much but I got a very yummy mocktail. I would definitely still come back even with the few NA options simply for the views. read more

I really enjoyed myself at this rooftop bar. I'm in San Francisco for the week and turns out that the hotel that we've been staying at has a really nice rooftop bar that people actually go to even if they don't stay here. The view is amazing. I don't think I realized how huge San Francisco was until I saw this view. You really see all of the skyscrapers, the mountains, and the water. There's so much to see from the view being that it's on the 46th floor of the hotel. The only complaint that I had was the food options were very limited, but this is a bar. It's not a full on restaurant so I can't really fault them for that and I did end up actually enjoying the food that I did order. So I got the poke And a fruit plate and I enjoyed both of them. I generally really enjoy poke so that wasn't a surprise and they came with rice paper chips which I've never heard of before and when they came out, I honestly thought they were napkins at first lmaoo but it was good and I enjoyed it. However, it certainly was not very filling, but that was to be expected, but the fruit plate was definitely a nice portion. There were several different fruits and it was a good amount. I also got the Malbec and our waiter actually told me that it's from Argentina and made it seem like it's one of the nicest wines that you can get in San Francisco so that was really nice and I definitely enjoyed it. Ambience wise it was also nice. I mean the view is a significant part of the experience so it definitely is nice especially with us going during the daytime. There's a lot of natural light that we got to soak in and enjoy. It does have a luxurious and upscale feel to it as well which I tend to enjoy. Our server was extremely nice. I liked him a lot. He was helpful and seemed to care about making sure that we enjoyed ourselves so again if you're looking for somewhere to primarily just get drinks and you wanna see a stellar view of San Francisco I would recommend this place for sure. read more

Great little nightcap I had at the Cityscape! I love a bar with a view and this one was great! Arrived around 9pm after dinner. This place was a little confusing to find at first, but after some walking around and a series of elevators, I finally made it. The views were lovely and a little foggy this night which I didn't expect. The bartenders were nice and let me move my seat to take in the view. The drinks I had were fruity and delicious! Loved the vibe, scene, and drinks here. read more

Came here with my friends before heading over to see a play and the view alone makes this place a must visit. It's inside the Hilton on the 46th floor. We found a spot on the side facing Golden Gate Bridge and right as golden hour hit, the view was gorgeous! The drinks were good but. It amazing. I got the Karl and the description said it had coconut foam on top and when I got my drink there was not a trace of coconut foam. Other than that, service was good and definitely got packed as we were leaving. read more

We came to Cityscape after dinner. It was our first time here. The views of San Francisco were amazing. Each of us had a different cocktail. Everyone liked their drink. The server was attentive and helpful regarding drink selections. This bar is inside the Hilton hotel on the 46th floor. The drinks are priced higher than what you'd find at most bars, for 3 drinks it came up to almost $80. I would come here again and recommend this as a good place to go for a drink when you have visitors in town who would like a stunning view of the Cityscape. Cheers! read more

One of the tallest bars in the city with spectacular views from the 46th floor of the Hilton hotel downtown. Luckily we came on a clear day so had a clear view of all the holiday lights below. There's tall windows sweeping the whole room, so every spot feels scenic. On a Monday night it wasn't busy at all. We were able to get walk in and get a window-side booth. Service was a little rude, and our waiter seemed impatient with us. But otherwise a good experience. It was a maze trying to find this bar inside the hotel since the entrance is pretty hidden. We went through the parking garage before walking down the lobby and taking two separate sets of elevators. Definitely a journey to get here, but worth it. Their menu has a lot of fun drinks. I got the Karl drink, which turned out to be strong and on the bitter side. The stardust was like a mimosa and even came with glitter. Raspberry moon was also sweet and fruity. Recommend visiting here for the classy vibes and stunning panoramic views! read more

A great place for an intimate evening! Came on a Sunday evening, and for a party of 2, the staff said to pick any table. After perusing the menu, my date and I decided on the Stardust and Raspberry Moon. They checked our IDs, and we didn't have to wait long before our drinks were brought over! - Raspberry Moon - cute drink but a bit too sweet for my liking - Stardust - as someone who doesn't like the taste of alcohol, this was quite enjoyable! Very orange-forward drink I ended up getting quite tipsy, but nothing a few glasses of water couldn't fix. Do note that they no longer have phone chargers for patrons to use - apparently they'd lend out charging cables that were never returned. Overall great ambiance and a great place to chat! Bathrooms were also really clean with excellent lighting. I really enjoyed my time here and would not be against coming back (maybe after checking out the other sky bars in the city)! read more

This bar and the views it offers are absolutely breathtaking! I would recommend going on a night rather than a foggy one, but is worth it. I forgot to take pictures, but we did order a charcuterie tray and some light bites and they were very good. The prices are as expected for these times. We were staying at this hotel and so visited cityscape twice and our service was better on the second night. The first night the service was fine but a little slow and we had to chase the server down when we had a problem with our drink and when we wanted our check. In summary, please give cityscape a try and consider getting at least some of their little appetizers. It is definitely worth it. read more

This is one of my favorite rooftop bars in the city. The atmosphere and the views alone make it worth coming here, especially at night when you can see the whole skyline. My go-to drink here is the espresso martini and they always make it really well. I usually come here for special occasions or when I'm out with friends. It can get a little expensive if you start ordering multiple rounds of drinks, but honestly the experience, ambiance, and views make it worth it. Overall, this is my favorite spot for a rooftop bar and I always enjoy coming back. read more

Had one of the best experiences at the place. First, it is located at the top of the Hilton hotel, and parking was relatively easy. You can park anywhere, either in the hotel, street parking, or the parking garage across the street. While we struggled to find the entrances, a hotel employee helped us to the elevator that led us to the cityscape, which was nice. Thank you. After entering, we waited to be seated by the host and got a great view of the city. We ordered a Martini and a Whiskey Sour, along with the cheese board, which was one of the best pairings of food and drink we had. Although the weather was a bit foggy, showing the city view to an out-of-town visitor was still great. I'd highly recommend this place for date night, a night out, or as a gift. read more

I had only one drink which was great. I try not to spend more than 30$ on cocktails. The best part of this venue is the 360° degree view of the city. It is worth visiting. You can see the city lights for sure. But if you pay close attention, you can the lights across the waters as well. It was simply magical and a great place to take someone for a romantic date. Food options are limited tho. But the experience makes up for the lack of food selection read more

Had a nice experience at Cityscape after a late concert in the city. Located on the top floor (46th floor) of the Hilton Union Square Hotel in SF, you get a full 360 degree view of the city skyline- photos don't do it justice! They offer small bites to pair with your drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks are available). Service is quick and able to give recommendations based off preferences.

The view is absolutely stunning as you can imagine! Their drinks are good as well. Their service was great. My friends and I went there two days in a row and both day we received a very good service both from our server and the bartender. My only suggestion is, don't go there hungry! They do have a few snacks to choose from but nothing that will fill you up unless you order every single item on the menu. We were a little bit disappointed with the charcuterie board they offered. read more

The views are amazing, and the service is always perfect. I have taken coworkers, friends, and family, and it never disappoints. They usually have corporate events, so be mindful of opening hours if you want a seat. Always get the charcuterie board, it's the best. read more

We came here for some small bites and drinks and the views alone are worth it. With windows all around offering a full 360 view of San Francisco and the Bay, it's one of the most stunning spots in the city. We ordered the charcuterie and cheese boards and both were beautifully presented and delicious. The spreads were thoughtful with a nice mix of meats, cheeses, pickled vegetables, nuts, fruit, and honeycomb. Drinks were refreshing and well made, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a beautiful setting with great food, excellent service, and unbeatable views. A must visit for that classic San Francisco experience. read more

Cityscape is my favorite rooftop bar in SF. The views here are amazing at sunset, and since it's all indoors with giant floor-to-ceiling windows, you don't have to worry about the weather. The bar is located inside the Hilton, so you do have to walk through the lobby to get to the elevators that take you up to the 46th floor. Seating is open seating, so you can grab a spot with a great view if you arrive at the right time. One downside is that it's not very accessibility-friendly. There are a lot of steps, and even the restrooms require climbing more stairs, though I assume there's an alternative option for wheelchair users. I'm also not sure I saw ramps for getting closer to the windows, which could be a challenge for some visitors. Drinks and food are on the pricey side, but that's expected since you're really paying for the views and vibes. Service was very prompt, which was a nice surprise. I ordered the Tuna Poke ($25 at the time of this review) and the Rising Sign cocktail ($22 at the time of this review). For just four people, including two non-alcoholic drinks, one alcoholic drink, and one tuna poke, the total came out to $77. The tuna poke was pretty good, but expect small portions. It came with a small plate of tuna, some seaweed salad, and four large thin white crackers. Overall, Cityscape is a must-visit for the views, and the atmosphere makes it worth the visit. If you're okay with the prices and accessibility limitations, it's a fantastic spot to grab a drink and enjoy the city skyline. read more

I would say Cityscape has the best night view in SF. Located in the heart of San Francisco, Cityscape is accessible through the Hilton hotel on the 46th floor. Cityscape provides variety of specialty drinks, delicious small bites and sweet desserts, and the romantic ambiance with a beautiful panoramic view of the city. This place is a must visit for anyone visiting San Francisco, and would be the place to go to wrap up the evening with a beautiful night view and a drink. The service here is very professional, and if you would like a promising service, please reach out to Elton. Ive seen Elton in Cityscape for years now and throughout those years he always kept the friendliest smile, gentlemen-like manner, very professional service, and demonstrated kindness. I always look forward to seeing him whenever I go visit Cityscape. Overall you will have a great experience visiting this place and I also very look forward to introducing this place to more of my friends in the future read more

I had a blackberry Martini which was delicious. I will definitely come visit again on my next San Francisco trip. read more
