| - The view is spectacular... Let's just get that out of the way.
Obviously that's the draw. Big open windows on both sides of the top (50th) floor of the Manulife center and you can see it all. An almost 360 view of the city and its burbs.
Oh yeah, and you can drink while you gape at the cityscape. And they have good drinks too. Yeah, they are a little pricy, but it's nice to have a champagne cocktail while looking at the city lights.
Don't ask me about the food. I wouldn't go to eat there anyway.
Depending on what you're looking for, you may want to take or leave my next piece of advice.
If you aren't looking for your regular obnoxious, generic, wannabe chic, club atmosphere, then stay away from this joint of Friday and Saturday nights. There is a cover fee on top of the overpriced drinks and your experience will go along with all the garbage that comes with "da club" scene. Lame music played too loudly for anyone to talk, no available tables, lines and long waits for drinks... etc...
If what you are looking for is a nice, chill place with a wicked atmosphere to have a drink in and marvel at the city skyline... then go on a weeknight and have a nice relaxing and unique evening. No cover charge and its usually very low key during the week with great service.
They have a terrific patio in the summer too...
For an ever more intimate experience with a great view, try The Roof Lounge on the 18th floor of the Hyatt.
