This review is for the Skysill Chalet Winter Pop-Up. When I booked this experience online, it cost $32. The cost included a snack and welcome drink. I assumed the decor and space would be over the top with Christmas decor too. This was THE MOST underwhelming Christmas pop up bar I have ever been. IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH $32 per person. It's one small room, and while the decor they did have was nice, it could have been better. The welcome drink was some kind of warm toddy thing, which they offered to spike for us. The snack was one chocolate cake pop. I didn't even stay and order an actual drink because of how disappointed I was in this experience. I've been to quite a few Christmas pop ups, and I have never paid more than $15 to get in, and the decor was always great. This was extremely disappointing and I don't recommend this to anyone. There are lots of fun Christmas pop ups in the valley that don't cost anything to get in and are ALOT better than this. read more

The rooftop bar has about 8 seats with mostly standing room around the bar area. The view from the bar is incredible and I bet it's even more beautiful at night! The pool is a bit small and quick to get crowded. Not many seats around it either unfortunately. read more

I went here with 3 friends for a EDM night on Jan 17th. I have worked in the bar industry before. I watched my husband (not white) get skipped in the rounds 3 times before I stepped up to ask him what was wrong and all of a sudden they start urgently taking care of our order after over 20+ minutes of waiting... interesting. When I was alone at the bar it wasn't an issue, but he's at the bar and he gets skipped? not once, but 3 times? I don't appreciate that. Especially when I'm watching other groups order from the same spot without being skipped. read more

Atmosphere was nothing like a rooftop bar. Bartenders were very apathetic. Zero music outside, TVs on with no sound. Asked the waiter for music and she could not provide an answer as to why they couldn't play music. Service was sub par. Had to go to the bar if we wanted anything. read more

12.18.24: We hit Skysill Rooftop Bar at the Westin for their Wednesday Holiday movie. What a sweet spot ~ incredible views & perfect weather to watch an outdoor movie. My friend & I had never been here before & only came for the movie experience. We both love Westin Hotels & we're impressed w/ the lobby restaurant, so probably come back to try it out. I can't speak to the food/drinks at the bar b/c we brought our own popcorn & didn't buy anything. So super nice of them to let us just hang out w/o a bar minimum. I did register on Event Brite for tickets... read more

Service is terrible, good luck waiting 30 minutes just to order a drink. Get rid of the college kids or teach them how to bartend. Unacceptable to spend 1/4 of my time at the show just waiting in line for drinks. read more

AUTO TIP ABOUT 20% Even when sitting at the bar and getting terrible service. A "sports bar" that literally advertises as such yet on ASU game day 3 out of 3 TVs weren't working. I notified hotel management and they blamed it on ESPN ESPN was working elsewhere. Food service was grudgingly acknowledged as available when I asked to order within the time advertised. Food came without silverware or napkins. All staff except one had terrible attitude. Hotel in general has declined significantly in terms of service between now and my last visit a couple years ago. Disappointing read more

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Skysill Rooftop Lounge in Tempe. We made a reservation THREE weeks in advance and were excited for our night out, only to arrive and be told the entire rooftop had been bought out for a grad party. What's frustrating is that we were never contacted beforehand -- no email, no phone call, nothing. Had we been notified, we could have made other plans instead of wasting our time driving there and getting turned away. read more

This is located at the top of the Westin in downtown Tempe. We were able to find street parking. The hotel is very pretty. The service and view were perfect. Zia made the experience so fun. The seating is dirty, not cleaned, lots of torn furniture and little crickets and bugs at night. The pizza was generic and bland but the wagu sliders were so good! They also have a great mocktail list with a beautiful sunset view. read more

This place is located at the top of the DT Tempe Westin. Just walk in, go right, past the gift shop and take the elevator to the rooftop, don't need to check in with staff or anything. I thought I had already reviewed this spot but I must have kept forgetting. So, I really think an accurate rating sits at 3.5. But I lean towards 4 because I give this place 5 stars just for the view alone!! It's all ambiance here. This is a hotel bar and I've noticed it's mostly hotel guests up there (based on chatting with people) which makes sense but it's also a nice spot for locals to check out, we are local and go here every once in a while. We recently stopped by on May 4th for Star Wars themed cocktails. The drinks were cute for sure, but weak and not worth $18. I'm still glad I went. I've been up there a number of times and caught some beautiful sunsets. I have never tried to order food so I can't speak to that. However like I said, their cocktails tend to look better than they taste, given the price tag of $18. Final verdict, for sure go here and enjoy the beautiful view/sunset with a cocktail and then be done with it. It's not a place I would hang out for hours. Then I move onto another place in DT Tempe. Sometimes they have a DJ and it's a fun vibe. To the point of some other reviews- yes, the service is slow and drinks are just okay. But that view tho.... read more

My friend and I were staying at the Westin Tempe for Innings Festival and during my stay here, I had received coupons for 2 margaritas or 2 mocktails that I could use at either Terra Restaurant on the 1st floor or here at the Skysill rooftop Lounge. My friend and I decided to come up here just to check out the pool and hang out while having a couple of margaritas but our experience here was just meh. When we first came in and walked up to the bar, the bartended had a very douchy attitude toward us after seeing that we were trying to redeem our coupon. He still made the margarita, but he was acting as if he didn't want to serve us. Plus point: the margarita was good and smooth. While we were chilling, another staff member (I guess the server in the seating area of the lounge) kept checking on all the guests if they needed anything else. This dude was great; not a douchy bone in him at all. During this time, I decided to head down to my room to take a shower so I could be ready to head out to the festival. When I'd come back up, my friend had ordered more margaritas for the both of us and some nachos. He then proceeded to tell me how the douchy bartender was pretty much ignoring him while he was trying to get more margaritas and even at one point refusing to make him two margaritas since I wasn't there. Long story short, he still got the margaritas made but the whole douchy attitude was not necessary. Anyway, when we were ready to close the tab, the douchy bartender was too busy talking to a couple that was in front of us (we were right behind them) and then a long line started to form behind us because the douchy bartender was too busy talking instead of doing his job. It took so long that the people behind us actually started complaining before the line would finally move. Nice setup, super crappy bartender, mediocre food. Meh read more

It was a chill event. A decent place to be at. Poop super small , bar is small. A nice view on the roof top. Drinks were meh but that's expected it is on top of the hotel. read more

Personally, the only thing that is special about this restaurant... Or bar? Is watching the sunset, or if you're curious about seeing what the Phoenix Valley looks like. The hotel lobby is lovely, the bathrooms are beautiful tremendously clean. The food menu is very limited and moderate/expensive for appetizers. We did not bother with cocktails. And the chips and tacos were OK. Not worth the price, especially for the quantity. read more

Perfect spot to grab a quick drink for date night or with a friend! Highly recommend making a reservation around sunset! The most beautiful views of downtown Tempe. Food is average so I'd stick to drinks and enjoy the view. Pictured are drinks that were a part of their holiday menu. read more

We made a reservation for date night. We arrived to find people standing in a line for bar service. To be clear, there were 3 bartenders moving slower than I have ever seen. The server came over to see us by pulling 2 chairs up to a dirty high top next to the bar. Then left for about 20 minutes. Came back and took our drink and food order then promptly disappeared for 20 minutes again. Brought 2 warm beers in cans. Then 15 minutes later my tacos came but not my husband's sliders. 20 minutes later the sliders came and they were inedible- I wouldn't feed my dog that meat. It took 20 minutes again before she checked on us. So we have been at our table an hour and a half and so far it's horrible. The server is nice - she just doesn't know how to serve and the bartenders apparently dont even know how to put beer on ice or in a cooler properly. To make it worse - i wake up to food poisoning at 5am. Do not eat the food - I would stay away. The views are pretty though. read more

Had a great Sunday funday with friends at this location. We stopped in for drinks and to catch the views. I had a few margaritas and thought they were pretty tasty. I would definitely come back but maybe once the weather is done cooling off. It was fairly warm but they had plenty of shaded areas. read more

Obviously the views are great. No matter where you sit, you'll have a nice view of part of the Valley. But like others have stated, the service level is pretty awful. We were initially sitting at high tops in the bar area and never got waited on. We moved to the bar itself and still waited for a good while before the bartender came by. And unfortunately the pours are awful. My wife's marg cost $14 and had maybe an ounce of tequila. Based on our visit, the best strategy is to go there and enjoy the view in the seating area and leave when someone finally asks what you'd like! read more

Skysill Rooftop Lounge - View from the bar - Lounges Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Recently stopped in for happy hour at this bar located at the Westin Tempe. We arrived on a Friday around 4:30 .. when you get up to the 18th floor you're greeted by a locked door into the bar & pool area. The bartender has to leave the bar to walk over and open the door. You would think they should be able to buzz you in, especially considering she was the only person working the bar. When we were leaving there was an employee at the gate checking Id's. A lot of the signature drinks are made with ginger beer & they were out of it. They also didn't have Jack Daniels, Baileys, kahlua or coffee. It was a chilly evening .. perfect for a boozy coffee drink. The bartender made several recommendations and we both found something we liked. You can't order food until 5pm.. we ordered the nachos, hummus and ahi tacos .. all of the food was good. Plenty of food to share. The ahi tacos were delicious, but it's still bar food. The views are amazing .. the sunset did not disappoint that evening. They have heaters for the lounge chair seating areas. You're shielded from the wind in the lounge chairs by glass partitions. They have lots of seating options for different group sizes, including around the pool area. The pool light changes color Take your valet ticket and receipt to the counter on the first floor and they will stamp it for you. I'd definitely try this bar again.. even if it's just to watch the sunset. read more

My flight back home from Phoenix was cancelled so I had an extra day to explore the Phoenix area and decided to take a trip to Tempe. The skysill rooftop lounge was a top suggestion when looking up cool spots to check out in Tempe and for good reason! The views from the rooftop of Tempe are absolutely breathtaking. We had considered taking a hike earlier that day but honestly got too lazy with the heat but this view definitely made up for it and we're sure we would've gotten the same views from our hike! They had good drinks and a lot of seating options! Definitely recommend if you are in the Phoenix/ Tempe Area! read more

Beautiful views!! Boyfriend & I decided to check this spot out on a Friday evening. The bar was giving "we in Miami", but wasn't super busy if you know what I mean. The bartender made me a good mezcal Paloma. It's a self seating type of bar, so we waited for a table to free up to watch the Suns game. We order some spinach dip & it took a while for it to come out. The bartender saved the night by comping some beer/wine for the long wait. Overall, the vibe was bomb. The auto DJ was crankin. I would def come back for the sunset views for sure! read more

Rachel was amazing!!! Great view. Fun Friday night with great drinks!! Very attentive

I will start off by saying what a disappointment this place was. The hotel looks beautiful as you walk through, but what a disaster when you get to the rooftop. The place was packed and there was only 1 server, the poor girl was running around in every direction. No one came to serve our table or give us a menu. We stood at the bar for 15 minutes just waiting to get someone's attention. There were soo many tourists, it wasn't enjoyable if you were a local. We had people pushing past us to take photos of the sunset, I had girls next to me kicking my chair. What a crappy experience on my birthday to say the least. Words of advice, get your act together and get more staff. You shouldn't open a bar/restaurant if you can't keep up when it starts to get busy. We had 1 drink and left. The views are gorgeous, but there are plenty other rooftop bars with much better service and less rude guests. read more

Nice view of downtown Tempe and beyond at this rooftop lounge. The space definitely needed a touch up and cleaning, there were several broken cement tiles on the ground; paper wrappers and trash were on the ground. Ordered the Razzle Dazzle cocktail, drink was good and not overly sweet. Bartender was friendly and welcoming. read more

Food was bomb. Drink were good but overpriced. Atmosphere amazing (come for sunset). When we came there was an event going on that has amazing music. Service is truly lack luster and the bartenders are overwhelmed. If you are in a rush for drinks, don't bother. Just come for the vibes to be honest. read more

I just dropped in for apps and a drink. It was close to Halloween so they were featuring a movie on the rooftop as well. The food was decent. The drink was flavorful, but not enough kick. Service was super slow. However, the view was lovely so it balanced out while I waited. I would return to try another app & drink in exchange for the lovely cityscape view. read more

So if you want decent service go elsewhere. The rooftop views are great but service sucks! You have to basically beg for service up there. Left rather quickly today after having an overpriced drink and poor service. read more

We are very disappointed in this "event." We paid $29 a ticket plus fees for a cake pop and a tiny cup of cider that didn't even have alcohol because the boy working said they were out of whiskey. He was the only one working. No one checked our tickets AT ALL so we could've saved our money apparently. Our friends, a party of 5, also did not have anyone check their tickets. A complete rip off and not as advertised. Definitely not up to Westin standards. So disappointed and will make sure we warn others. read more

Was recommended by a fellow Yelper to come see the views and was definitely not disappointed! The pool is very small but they have a decent bar selection - I hesitantly requested a coconut mojito and the bartender actually said they could make it so I was pleasantly surprised until it turned out to not taste like coconut much at all, but still good! Definitely a good spot to relax and enjoy a dj/lounge with some friends. Will have to come back to try Terra downstairs!! read more

Best views in Tempe and a great place to have a drink. Easy parking and it has a roof top pool.

Such a vibe! I've been to Skysill multiple times and they always attract a great crowd. Unlike other hotel rooftops that can get out of hand (W Scottsdale comes to mind), Skysill is more serene and sophisticated. The views of downtown Tempe from up here are spectacular. Being so close to Sky Harbor Airport, it is cool to see all the planes arriving and departing. It adds to the traveler vibe of Skysill. While you probably aren't coming here for the food, I would recommend not eating here. The food is overpriced for what you get and the quality is lacking. I tried the BBQ rib sliders on my most recent visit and was underwhelmed by the three small sliders that were presented for $18. I also tried the new BBQ that they offer on Saturday afternoons and was unimpressed (although the griller was a great guy!). You'd do better to dine before or after coming here. The cocktails are good. I think they could use to expand their draft beer options (only a hazy IPA on draft? Fail). I also don't like how the only wines they offer are canned versions. I understand not being able to have real glasses near the pool, but at least expand the choices of canned wine or even some bottles that could be poured into a different container. As of now, I mostly opt for the Tower Station IPA. Service is spotty but well-intentioned. They seem to rotate through employees quite often which is understandable these days, but everyone tries their best. At night, the bar area can get crowded so they recently removed some of the chairs that were at the bartop. I wish they hadn't done that as before it really made the bar a place where you wanted to stay even longer. They do have one large screen TV on the rooftop. In my opinion, they make some odd choices with what they broadcast. Recently, it was desert images that kept passing through. On that note, make sure and snap a photo next to the giant mural near the pool. It's cool. For being a hotel bar, Skysill is unlike others that I have been to. It manages to tap into Tempe's youthful energy and the dynamism of the ever-growing Valley. You could be anyone or anywhere up here. read more

Truly one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had.. went here from social media recs. Def all hype on instagram and TikTok. When you get up to the rooftop it's also the pool so you either need to use your key to open the gate or wait for someone to let you in. We ordered our first round of drinks, the Tempe Margarita - 4/10 and then ordered our food. I wanted another round of drinks and my husband wanted just a basic soda. Waited forever for the bartenders to even come our way and when they did blatantly ignored us. We finally got our food which was freezing cold and ridiculously spicy. I ate because I was starving and was hoping the bartender would at least acknowledge us following the delivery of our food. Still nothing - after my husband had to get his attention he rolled his eyes and laughed. I ended up with a flat Diet Coke and again no water that I asked several times for. The couple next to us was ordering two drinks at a time since they also figured they wouldn't be able to get his attention. Skip this place, overpriced, over hyped, and over all bad attitude. We had to go to another hotel bar down the way if we wanted drinks which is super disappointing. read more

Skysill = super cool, could use a few tweaks to make it amazing. It's apparent that there could be some staffing issues, which is completely understandable. I came up to the rooftop soon after The Westin opened. Absolutely fabulous time, drinks, and service during then. At that time, there was separation between the pool deck (reserved for hotel guests only) and the other space. Plenty of space though for all! I like the variety of seating and views at Skysill. During the "cooler" months, they'll pull out space heaters if you ask. Recently I met friends upstairs and it was apparent there was some miscommunication between sales staff and Skysill staff, leaving them 1-2 people short upstairs. I believe during busier nights, they'll pull help up from the downstairs restaurant, which, if you are aware of groups in advance (you can make reservations for space), shouldn't be a thing. But during my recent stay it was a bit of an issue. Skysill a little pricey. Both food and drinks are great though. Granted it's a hotel bar, but in all fairness, it's surrounded by ASU/Tempe and college bars whose prices are cheaper. And if they want to pull locals upstairs to offset tourism season, it wouldn't hurt to set up some happy hour prices, even if just for an hour! This is probably the one place in all of Tempe that doesn't have a happy hour, including fancy places as well. read more

This was one of the worst food and beverage experiences of my entire life. Literally. Just everything about it is awful. From the moment I walked in. There is no hostess or greeter of any kind. I walked over to the bar where I was confronted by no less than 4 employees lounging against the bar, none of whom greeted me. I walked over to what appeared to be an empty seat. I asked if it was taken. It was. I walked over to the four employees who all studiously ignored me. I wandered out to the area with couches and sat down and was completely ignored for 20 minutes despite the fact that it wasn't busy. Finally, a server approached us and took our order. The drinks were $15 and terrible and appeared to have no alcohol whatsoever. The menu is extremely limited, basically bar snacks. We ordered Ahi tacos and Short Rib Sliders, both of which were $18. They were served in a tiny cardboard box with no garnish or side. My companion said the ahi tacos were ok. My short rib sliders were dreadful. Three tiny hard disks with a less than an ounce of meat, no sauce and the slider buns tasted like they had been microwaved and dried out. Really sad. It was like something you would get at a happy hour for free. Out total bill for 2 watery drinks and 2 tiny little snacks was $71. I can't believe a Marriott property would serve food like this. In addition to the terrible food and drinks and service, I really have to comment on the ambience. This is an absolutely gorgeous space. 18th floor rooftop, spectacular views etc. They have absolutely destroyed it by putting a giant TV at one end of the patio that is a) super bright and b) super loud. It's so bright that you literally can't see any of the gorgeous view and the deafening volume makes it the opposite of relaxing. MARRIOT, why in god's name would you take this beautiful space and destroy it with this stupid big screen TV and turn it into a lame, expensive sports bar? Why would you serve this disgraceful food? And why would you staff it with employees who are openly contemptuous of the customers? Unfortunately, I can see by the reviews that our experience was more typical than unique. That's tragic. I've stayed at and patronized Marriott properties all over the world. This is literally the worst run Marriott operation I've ever seen. Nice view though. read more
