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!

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!

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.

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!

Don't forget to bring your own cue if you have one! I wish I had, as the house cues were a bit worn out for my liking.

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.

I recommend checking out their happy hour from 5 to 7 PM if you want to save some cash on drinks. It can get pretty busy, so try to arrive a bit earlier.

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.
