Near the Arch, a meeting point for tourists and businessmen (Hilton Garden Inn Umhlanga nearby) - and those who would like to have some night life fun. Just be careful while having fun...

Possibly one of the best views in Umhlanga. Good selection of drinks that are well priced with a great ambiance. Service was good and friendly. It does get very windy up there though.
What great vibes for late afternoon sundowners, drinks and staff were really great and friendly!

Backyard is beautiful plus It has a great views! The service is not the best and their selection of alcohol was a bit dissapointing.

Great views and fantastic setting, clearly a lot of effort went into ensuring it would be a trendy place, as such it will likely end up becoming pretentious. Overall the beer selection was poor and an they had an annoying cashless system. They should probably start checking ID as there were quite a few youngsters up there who haven't yet seen a single facial hair.
Not as great as was expected. The hype about it was too great and unfortunately they didn’t live up to it. Bartenders weren’t the most friendly. Acted as if they were forced to be there. Didn’t have most of the drinks selections. Didn’t have any of the local beers we enjoy so we left to go to village. They should also think about cleaning the place. Overall it wasn’t the worst but there are things they should work on. Tried to book a table but they did not let us do that.

Absolutely unbelievable setting, with views of Umhlanga Rocks and of the coast towards Durban. Laidback vibe with lounge booths and chilled music. There is no view quite like this in Durban, definitely a must-see for anyone in and around 031. They also allow you to bring food from the various food stalls just downstairs.
Great venue, beautiful views. Poor poor service. They have a damn cheek to add their tip to the bill when the service is basically non existent. We basically had to go to the bar to meet our waiter to order a drink. Nobody cleans the tables either.
First time we went as a group of friends from Jo’burg, it was fun, the manager was amazing in explaining the drinks. The 2nd time we visited we were met with two disgustingly rude bar men. The bar men just don’t understand what service means, the one guy pointed a bar ice spatula at me in a threatening tone (saying he won’t serve me), all because we complained that he was ignoring us and serving people who weren’t waiting for as long as we did. The ordeal made us leave immediately and we will never return or recommend that place to anyone.
It was my second visit to the rooftop bar and definitely my last. My friends and I were extremely disappointed by the cold welcome from one of the waitress, train your staff to provide a better service.
