The View Lounge - (Near San Francisco, CA)

4 /5 J.C. Lochan: If youre in the mood for a center-city view from a great vantage point and great cocktails, The View is the perfect lounge to go to. The bar, while not the biggest, has a great selection of spirits and the bartenders are quite talented. The drinks here are a but pricey, but youre paying for the view. They do have food that is great, but I personally wouldnt come here for dinner, but instead to relax and hang out with friends for a couple drinks and overlook the city. The atmosphere is upbeat and the service was pretty good for how busy it can get.

5 /5 To William: What a view! There not much I can say about it except come early because the good tables by the window get taken quickly. We got there 18 min after they opened and we got the last table next to the window. We just had drinks and no food, just enjoyed the sunset over the concrete jungle. The pictures and videos don’t do it justice, especially on the clear San Francisco day we had. First time we came here the service was okay but the most recent time, it was top tier. I will always make it a point to come here whenever I’m on the area.

5 /5 Donna: Loved that it was seat-yourself—no wait for a host! The lounge had a relaxed vibe, reasonably priced drinks, and an ambient atmosphere. Didn’y get the chance to order food as we came here for drinks after dinner. Super stunning view of the city skyline. Definitely worth a visit.

5 /5 Peter Samuels: Definitely a great spot! It’s certainly not guaranteed that you’ll have a spot, but our group of 4 managed to get seats. Our server, Don was a great host and made us feel comfortable and not rushed at all. You’re much more likely to find seats as a smaller group, but it’s worth checking it out.

2 /5 Michelle M: Came here to grab a drink and some apps before going out, the view is nice. Beautiful windows. We sat and waited for a few minutes before our server approached us.. she took our drink order (never told us her name) and disappeared. I was watching the bartender from our seat and about 20 minutes later when he was making our drinks I saw him not use the correct tequila. Finally the server dropped off our drinks and ran.. didn’t hear me when I asked her about the drinks I guess because she took off. Which was also extremely annoying seeing as how we had been waiting for over 20 minutes now not only for our drinks but to place our order for food. I ended up bringing the cocktails to the bar and the bartender was extremely nice and admitted that was his mistake and he remade the drinks. Which I also had to go get from the bar myself. The server eventually came by to take our food order and left- she made it very known that she was too busy. Once the apps arrived she never touched the table to make sure our food came out correctly. Overall, the food was okay but the service was terrible. The view was nice but not worth the experience or the price.
