Scott Gertner's SkyBar

I really liked it here! I do contract work so I travel for a living and have been many places. Went here on Valcentines Day. Free roses for the ladies(me) and no cover for the ladies. The view is great. The free salsa lessons and band afterwords were great. The key si to get there early. Got there around 830 Thursday night. Found free street parking. Took the elevator. Mojitos on sale for 5 bucks(36oz). Service was good. No complaints. Didn't try the snacks so can't comment but plan to go back Wednesday for the free buffet. Write another review then. Hasta luego

Sky Bar has been around for many years, with the same decor and set-up. I recently went there after a 20-year hiatus, and nothing had changed, except the place smelled mustier. There are a lot of better, more interesting places to go in Houston.

Pros: Great outdoor patio, convenient location.

Cons: Poor parking situation; wornout interior, pricey drinks.

This is THE place for a 360 degree phenomenal view of all sides fo Houston... The crowd is more of the 30+ but being a young biz pro I felt at home... The beginning of teh night it was more of a "cruise" ship lounge with the older group sitting and enjoying the live music by Scott Gertner himself... Then about 11ish the younger crowd came in and took over then the rap and hip hop came on... I have never had such a good time the with watching a 50 year old man and his wife get low... A great mix of all ages, ok drink prices, great views and a romatic candle lit patio....

Pros: Good mix of all ages... AMAZING view...

Cons: non heated patio...

This past weekend my girlfriend and I attended the Sky Bar thinking it was going to be a bar like the sister spot on Fountainview/Richmond. But to our surprise, it was an actual club. The people there were well dressed and sophisicated ( which is expected)! Yea we had to pay for parking and wait outside for the elevator for about 20-30 min, however it was well worth the wait. The bar has a beautiful view, beautiful atmosphere, scenery, and people. This is the #1 attraction of out of towners. I will definately go back and bring more friends.

Pros: Atmosphere, people

Cons: Prices of the drinks

This past weekend, my wife and I went for the 1st AND last time to Skybar. Yes, the view of the Skyline was beautiful but maybe that was to distract you from the price of the bill at the end of the evening showing the $8.50 weak Cosmos and $5.00 beers! You must park yourself and pay $5.00, then pay $20.00 covercharge. The clientele reminded us of old desperate lounge lizards...we thought that there was a "strictly-enforced" dress code there to attract a classy crowd, but there obviously isn't one! The ambiance has NOTHING on the TRULY classy Midtown or the Galleria area and is WAY-overpriced! We were so disappointed!!! We'll never go back!!

Pros: The view of the Skyline

Cons: Totally overpriced and the clientele made it look like a desperate single lounge clcub

I called this bar to look into booking a private party and spoke to someone named Kelly who was abrupt, unfriendly and condescending. She balked because my group of 20-30 was too small to accommodate privately without great expense. Little does she know my company can host very large events and we are interested in locations in Houston for events. Because of her rudeness, I will never consider this venue again. Hopefully the service doesn't match her poor attitude.

Went a couple times on Thursdays when it's salsa night. I don't dance, but it looked like this was the place ro go for upscale salsa dancing. Some good looking girls go on Thursday too.

This is an awesome place to enjoy live music and sit out on the rooftop to enjoy the great views of Houston. They have a great show on Wednesday nights with 95.7 and live music.

I went to the SkyBar with my husband and another married couple. I was initially afraid of a "club" since I hadn't gone to a club over 5 years, but this place is wonderful. It was everything that we wanted great music, great ambiance, most of all NO DRAMA!!! We are going back every onther Saturday now.

Pros: everyhting you can imagine

Cons: none

Best spot on Wednesday night trust me!! Great atmosphere, beautiful women, and bangin music. The dance floor is way to small (I guess thats why everywhere I turned people were finding almost anywhere to dance) but outside of this, its a nice club to mingle in. Guys if you cant dance dont worry, it is really dark and women will approach you to dance. The best spot by far is in front of the stage because you can find a different cutie every 5 minutes and cut a rug all night.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Small dance floor
