Stunning panoramic views of Cape Town.
I chose to spend part of my birthday at RED Rooftop Bar for an afternoon of snacks and drinks.
I was welcomed at the door with a personal message which made me feel so special.
The great variety and size of the platters are great value for money. Hats off to the chef for scrumptious food. We were delightfully surprised by the live music performance. Our waitress, Merline, was absolutely fantastic, on the ball and so much fun.
Fun was had all around and all the bells and whistles were fantastic. The team certainly met and exceeded my expectations. Thank you.
Thank you to Bella for making my day extra special.

Came here to watch the sunset and have sundowners before heading out for dinner. We all know it’s winter and on this day, it was extremely windy and the sunset didn’t disappoint. The views from this rooftop are amazing and the sunset was beautiful to watch, glad I didn’t miss it!

I can’t rate the food because I only ordered drinks since I had a reservation elsewhere for dinner after this. The atmosphere was great, I loved the music played by the DJ, however, it was extremely loud (for me). I feel that the staff could do better when it comes to service, they are not really present or helpful although they are nice & friendly, it felt like I was at a self-serve bar hence the 3 stars.

I can’t wait to visit again and in Summer this time around, hopefully I’ll try out some food as well.

I would give it a 4.5 star rating. The views are amazing and it's perfect for sundowners any day of the year. Sunsets are a must from here, just bring a jacket because Cape Town weather. Service could be a bit better, waited 20min for two drinks on my last visit, but definitely a must.

Your staff on this rooftop have no moral compass at all. I walk into the restaurant stating that I'd like to order a meal and have a drink. Having been there for already 20 mins the staff waiting looks in my direction and doesn't even acknowledge me or take my order. Not only me but everyone else - People are awkwardly peering around wondering where the staff is and how to get their attention. Is this what the service industry does now? How pathetic! Not even "hey, have you been helped?" "Are you ready to order - do you know what you'd like to eat?"
They're just all floating around near the entrance and having conversations. It's just ridiculous.

We wanted to grab drinks at the bar after touring the museum opposite. Our drinks took really long to come, the bar was empty yet the staff seemed preoccupied and they serve the hot beverages in disposable cups which just isn't cute. Nice view
