The three of us had a wonderful evening at the bar. Delicious bites and drinks, with the highlight being the stunning view. The service was friendly and attentive. We’ll definitely be coming back.
Laura de Wit
Popped in out of curiosity on a Friday evening for a drink and were pleasantly surprised. The cocktails are delicious, the view is impressive, and the moon theme is beautifully carried through — from the entrance to the lift and even the toilets. The staff were friendly and attentive.
Thomas Vermeer
Spent Friday evening here with friends and had a great time. Lovely atmosphere, great cocktails and tasty bites to share. The view over the city really completes the evening. Definitely a place to come back to.

Went up for a drink and the view on Saturday evening. Lovely spot, not too crowded, with nice background music. Ordered some cocktails and bites and just had a relaxing time.
