Setting The Bar High: The World's Best Bars With A View

Published by American Express Essentials:

"It's all in the name, and deservedly so, at this perennially popular bar. Situated atop the Marriott Marquis hotel on the 39th floor, massive vaulted windows offer breathtaking views of the skyline and distinctive landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge and the Transamerica Pyramid. Strap on your heels and don your chicest attire, as this bar is all about elegance, with a food and drink menu to match. Sip on elevated versions of classic cocktails, like the 10/89 Martini made with premium vodka or gin and infused with a dash of vinegar, black pepper and blue-cheese stuffed olives. Small plates, like Spanish octopus confit or seared wild scallops with Meyer lemon and beurre blanc, are a delight to behold as well as devour."

"The views are stunning and the atmosphere is fantastic. We opted for a bottle of wine, so I didn't have a chance to sample any of the cocktails. However, I am planning to return, perhaps during the day to enjoy more of the city's sights." Janet

"Great vibe. If you want good views and good drinks and cute bites this is it. A friend and I came here for Lux aesthetics and it was giving!!!" Cheree
