f you're staying at the Hilton, Cityscape is definitely worth popping by for drinks! Perfect spot to catch the sunset, sip on a cocktail, and end the night with a little nightcap. Such a cute way to unwind without having to venture too far!
Excellent 360 views of San Francisco, stiff drinks, and service. This bar is located on the top floor of the Hilton hotel. Our server was very friendly and helped us take photos. We ended up spending a few hours here with our friends before heading to dinner.
After grabbing dinner nearby, the friends I was with told me we had to check out the cocktail bar located on the 46th floor of the Hilton San Francisco Union Square. When you enter into the hotel, keep an eye out for Cityspace - San Francisco Sky Bar. Seating can be hard to come by but we managed to get a tall table that wasn't directly up against the glass but still had outstanding views. In terms of ambiance, the lights are kept low, to allow the glow of the 360-degree views of the city and its iconic landmarks to shine through. They have a full bar with cocktails, beer, wine, etc, plus small bites. The drink prices, given the atmosphere and it being San Francisco, were pretty reasonable. This is a place every visitor to San Francisco (and local alike) should see at least once.
Service -2 Ambiance -3 foggy night Came here for my bday evening and was disappointed with the service. You should not work for an establishment where you don't want to serve paying customers!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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)!
Went to cityscape to see some nice city views and to have something to eat. Unfortunately for me. It was totally foggy and cloudy, couldn't see anything. Secondly, there wasn't much selection on the bar bites for me to choose from. A little disappointed about that. Though service was pretty good . Ended up drinking a Manhattan and ate the chocolate roll dessert.
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.
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.
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.
The place is cute with pretty views over priced drinks but nice you can make reservations walk in or sit at the bar but theh do run out of seats Staff were accommodating in finding seats w.o a reservation they offer small bite foods read more
Cityscape is something you should definitely check out for a nightcap! It does get crowded pretty quickly, so if your interested get there early. Atmosphere is sophisticated but laid back. Dress to impress or come casual, honestly doesn't matter. Bring that ID, They do card you before you enter, and give you a wristband that says you're over 21. The stunning 360 views of San Francisco and the bay are stunning. Get that phone out and snap them pictures! They have a list of cocktails to order from, definitely bring your wallet, they are pricey. read more

This place seemed really nice and had a great atmosphere. Our experience started off a little awkward with our first server, Solma. She didn't seem too happy, so we simply asked if she was okay. She responded that she would find us another server and walked away. We definitely didn't mean to upset or offend her in any way. Thankfully, Jewel stepped in and completely saved the experience! She was warm, welcoming, and took great care of us. We were only stopping in for a quick drink before heading to our next destination, and Jewel made sure we still left on a positive note. Thank you, Jewel! 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

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
Super cute rooftop! So fancy and amazing view ! For sure tourist must -see!! Will definitely come back for the sunset view soon and hopefully they have a happy hour! ! Beware the prices are ridiculously expensive ($50 for two martinis eek!) before tax and tip! Not a lot of options for food and the tables are tiny so eat before you come ! The SF views are breathtaking a s it's nice to be indoors when it's chilly unlike other rooftops. No outside searing! It's on the 42 floor ! The doorman/security service was welcoming! 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. Fun way to end the night! 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

Amazing clear views in the corner. They had a lot of drink options and service was excellent! They even had 3-4 mocktail options. We got here a bit early, right before 6, which was perfect timing as when we went to leave at 7/7:30 for dinner there was a huge line waiting to enter. read more
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

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
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! read more

Beautiful roof top with good drinks and a beautiful scenery. Wish they had more good bites. Shout out to our waiter for being attentive and bringing out a dessert for our friends' birthday. A+ for service and vibes. read more
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 read more
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! read more
Came back after many years while in town visiting friends and family and watching the Giants beat the Red Sox. Came for a drink to relax and enjoy the amazing view. Lucky to have a clear day- and the views didn't disappoint! We could see Mt. Diablo to the north east! Our waiter was very friendly and attentive-service was great! A great spot to see the City overall, architecture, and the sunset of course! Will be back soon I hope! read more

Kind of hidden in the Hilton Union Square but absolutely a gem in downtown. I'm a local and wanted to check out the views - came on a Friday as the sun was setting and was able to find a spot right next to the window. Panoramic views! Servers were super friendly and the espresso martini was really good! They have small bites if you want something to eat. Recommend coming here for a drink before dinner! read more
