    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.

    Friend who understood the assignment b/c we came to watch Elf!

    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...

    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.

    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....

    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.

    Fun rooftop bar for Sunday funday or watching games. They have many TVs around the rooftop. Their cocktails are a tad pricey, but very tasty.

    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.

    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!

    The view is amazing

    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.

The chicken tenders were fire!!! What is lacking on this occasion was service. The server that we had was so unattentative. I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

So let's start off with the fact that when you're seated , they disclose that this is a "90 minute experience." . My only issue is that getting your drinks and food might take 80 minutes. Great atmosphere. They have a disco ball in the middle , just like the 70s. Music is not too loud. Dimly lit, but perfect. Order your drinks right away, because ours took forever. Nothing to write home about here. The real crab Rangoon is ok but they are small. The chicken tenders are huge portions. It's like they cut a breast in half for each tender. That was the saving grace. I like the experience. Wanted to give 5 stars , but I can't due to the "mid" experience.

But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.

The atmosphere was unique, the bartenders were genuinely engaging, and there was a real sense of community that made every visit memorable. It became my go-to spot to bring friends from out of town and every single person I brought absolutely loved it! Back then, the cocktails felt intentional and creative, not just rushed out for volume. The staff remembered regulars, conversations flowed naturally, and the whole place had this warm, eclectic energy that made you want to stay for hours. Even on busy nights, it somehow still felt personal. Unfortunately, over the last couple of years, the vibe has changed quite a bit. The drinks just aren't as consistently good as they used to be, especially considering the prices now. Service feels far more transactional and impersonal, and the atmosphere that once made this place stand out has faded into something much more generic. It feels less like a neighborhood gem and more like a stop on a nightlife circuit.

Honestly, I have no idea how it got those reviews. Maybe they're paid, I'm not sure, but based on my experience I would not go back. The biggest issue was the service. We arrived and were told to sit anywhere we wanted. After sitting down, we waited about 20 minutes and no one ever came to our table. No greeting, no water, nothing. Eventually I had to walk up to the bar and ask what the procedure was. Do we order at the bar? Do you have table service? No one could give a clear answer. They just kept saying, "If you want, you can order here." That's not the point. If I sit down at a restaurant, I expect someone to come to the table and explain how things work or take our order. If the system is that you order at the bar, just say that clearly so people know what to do. The drinks were also very mediocre. Nothing special at all. Honestly, they tasted like something you could throw together at home with soda, alcohol, and ice. The surprising part is that the food was actually phenomenal. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. The dishes were delicious and probably the best part of the entire experience. But great food alone isn't enough to make me return somewhere with poor service and forgettable drinks. My recommendation is don't waste your time on a Sunday brunch. There are plenty of other brunch spots with good food and good service.
