The Cocktail Bar

I suggest checking out their happy hour specials if you want to save some cash. Drinks can be pricey but during happy hour it's a much better deal, plus the vibe is still great!

Make sure to ask the bartenders for their creative cocktails. They love sharing their own recipes and sometimes you’ll get a surprise drink that's not on the menu.

I learned the hard way that Fridays get super crowded. If you can, go on a Thursday instead; it's more chill and you get to talk with the bartenders easier!
65 Fireflies

I recommend checking their events schedule, because sometimes they have themed nights or performances which are a blast! It's well worth your time so you don't miss out.

My advice is to bring cash; I found that some drinks were cheaper when I paid with cash instead of card. Those euros add up quickly!
Sense Hotel Rooftop Bar

I suggest arriving right at sunset – around 7 PM in summer – for an epic view as the city lights up. The colors are unbelievable and it’s when the crowd is still manageable.

My advice is to check the weather beforehand. I went on a cloudy day and missed out on the amazing views! Clear days make all the difference, so plan accordingly.
5L Speakeasy Bar

I wouldn't recommend sitting outside if the weather is uncertain. It started drizzling on me, and the inside ambiance is just too good to pass up!

My advice is to try their signature cocktails, especially the 'Old Cuban'. They're a bit pricier, but totally worth it for the unique flavors.

I think arriving around 7 PM is perfect to snag a good spot before the crowd hits. This place gets packed, and you don't wanna miss out on their great vibe.

I suggest checking out their social media for any special events or live music nights. I stumbled upon an amazing jazz evening that I almost missed!
Stix Billiard Club

If you're looking to play a game, I suggest booking a table in advance, especially on weekends. It gets pretty busy and you don’t want to wait around

Try their specialty cocktails – they’re delicious! I think you should definitely order one while you’re playing; it adds to the vibe.

Bring some cash if you want to ease the payment process; sometimes their card system can be a bit slow during rush hours.

I recommend checking their happy hour from 5 to 7 PM. You can grab some great deals on drinks and snacks, which makes it super budget-friendly.
STIX Bar & Billiards

I think ordering food from the menu is a must! The nachos I had were delicious and perfect for sharing while playing billiards. Don't skip food!

I suggest checking their happy hour deals, I found some killer discounts on drinks that made the night way more fun without breaking the bank.

If you're not a pool pro don't stress. I recommend asking the staff for tips on gameplay – they were super helpful and friendly during my visit.
Hambara

XS Tower Sky Bar

I think you should try to snag a window seat if you can. It gets busy and I missed out on a perfect view because I arrived just a bit too late

I recommend getting there around sunset, like 7 PM, for the best views. You catch the beautiful city transitioning from day to night, plus it makes for stunning photos!

I suggest keeping an eye on the weather before you visit. I went on a cloudy day, and I regret not waiting for clearer skies to really enjoy the panorama.
