eclipse sky bar - new location
Re: eclipse sky bar - new location
That probably makes sense. Manager told me that the Chinese bought the building and told him they gotta move.. Unsure who owns the rights to the name or if its addition to it etc
gonna ask him

The only rooftop bars I have been to are all crack houses (except its not usually crack, more ganja and ice). Got plenty of warning to toss stuff over the prapet before the police get to the top floor

Re: eclipse sky bar - new location
Eclipse bar sucked. Service quickly deteriorated and the last few times I was there they just had extremely loud Khmer love songs blaring to the usual "can't have a conversation" level. When asked if they could turn it down a little notch I got a shrug from the waitress. It quickly went from an upscale local to basically a place where everyone and their uncle went for a selfie. The last time I was there it looked and sounded exactly like a (cheap) Khmer BBQ/beer garden. Was your friend the manager fr when it opened or towards the end? Major difference in service, atmosphere and food/drink AND service quality. It was unique when it first opened and seemed to have a western manager, but there are tons of better sky bars around now.
I'm not sure if it's funny or sad how it slowly went from a place for the well-heeled, with some soft live jazz ensemble playing in the background, to basically a "throw your napkins on the floor" kind of place, with staff talking to each other lazily shuffling their feet towards you after waving your hands around for ten minutes. You know your game had dropped when Pizza Company becomes a step up.

I been going every summer for last 3/4 years and he has been there. I never knew it to be a place with napkins on the floor type of thing. He is the only Barang there and is pretty hands on. I seen him handle situations, taking care of customers etc. I would bet if you needed something, he would be the guy to do it. I always go for a few then go to the next spot.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2019 9:05 pm Eclipse bar sucked.

Curious, what are some of the other sky bars that are good to check out? Mostly I see upscale or wanna be upscale types that go to eclipse. Also seen some families as well

For example the soon to open revolving skybar at The Penthouse where your view is 360 and it rotates.
Shame about the small size condos full of giant poles taking up half the space and really awkward balconies, but you won't see those from the top.

Re: eclipse sky bar - new location
Most skyrises now have a "sky bar". Veeha isn't bad, as is Lumière. Then there's Rosewood if you're feeling splurgy (I haven't been yet). Many others as well. Most buildings over 12 stories will have one.BklynBoy wrote:I been going every summer for last 3/4 years and he has been there. I never knew it to be a place with napkins on the floor type of thing.
