About The Rooftop Bar

The Rooftop Bar, also known as Roof Tap Bar, is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. It offers fresh and tasty oysters, as well as perfectly crafted Whisky and Coke and whisky on the rocks. The bar boasts a breathtaking view of the ocean, making it an ideal location for watching sunsets. A DJ often adds to the ambiance, creating a fun and enjoyable atmosphere with great beats and good vibes. The cocktails are named after local beaches and surf spots, and small plates are available, though they can be pricey. The menu includes items like a cheeseboard, vadouvan chicken sando, and lamb sausage, along with grilled shrimp, grilled artichokes, and spiced potato chips (patatas). The trio of hummus dips is inventive and delicious. Visitors can enjoy small bites by the pool and in the jacuzzi, where the atmosphere remains lively and relaxed. The chairs and setup are quite comfortable, and staff are attentive, friendly, and creative. For example, one guest appreciated the thoughtful menu and the kind service. The rooftop's atmosphere is enhanced by the warm, hard-working staff, turning a visit into a memorable experience. The view is stunning, especially at sunset, and reservations are recommended due to high demand, sometimes requiring a minimum of six people and a credit card to hold the reservation. It can get crowded, leading to long wait times and slow service at times. Prices are expensive, but the atmosphere, views, pool, and small plates make it a great place for groups, especially when it’s cold and heated lamps are used. Despite some minor issues like window cleanliness, it remains a favorite spot for many, particularly for celebrating special occasions or enjoying a two-hour get-together with friends.
