Editorial Review for Scott Gertner's SkyBar – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Attracting a combination of upwardly mobile professionals and groups of coworkers looking to dress up and let loose, Scott Gertner's hip heaven is on a cloud of its own. Whether it's Gertner's (a longtime local musician and club owner) own cover band onstage or an increasing variety of national performers like Acoustic Alchemy and Tuck & Patti, SkyBar is the home for smooth, contemporary jazz and '70s-'80s-era soul and light funk.
The Draw
If the Greek gods reside on Mount Olympus, then this is the Zeus of clubs. Boasting an unbeatable vista of downtown Houston and its surrounding area, its room-with-a-view ambiance is unparalleled. The club proper has the lights down low and flickering candles to illuminate the sprawl of tables with comfy seats.

My husband and I went on a Saturday night with some friends and we had a blast. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun. The drinks were great I will be back with more friends. This maybe our new hang out spot. But it would be best if you pay for your drinks with cash because there's an 18 percent gratuity that's added to all credit card transactions.
Pros: Great view and very romantic

My girlfriend and I have been there three times this year and every visit it has been going downhill.They jack up the price on everything except the parking which will probably go up too. The last time paid too much for as far as the cover charge is concern for a broken elevator that made the wait time down stairs and upstairs unacceptable.Then there is the so call dress code.I had on a pair of slacks and a short sleeve shirt,she was wearing a casual dress but once we came inside the place we thought we were over dressed!!Then there is the leaking ceiling due to condensation from the AC,hey I least put a coffee can up there to catch the water!!The place is a dump!IIve seen better clubs at third world countries for a fraction of the price to get in and enjoy.Save your money there are better places in Houston to go to.
Pros: Nice view
Cons: View gets old in a few minutes
