Rocco by Crystalbrook

Cocktail bar

👍👍 Excellent view from the roof top bar. Fair prices. Drinks are very good, the organization to order a drink could be better. Very often the service runs around because it's not clear where to bring the drinks. The service is very friendly. I can recommend this place.

😐 The best part was the delightful ginger beer on tap! reservations are recommended ... and table wasn't ready.
