User reviews of Atmosphere Bar
Nice ambiance, poor service, bad expensive cocktails
We went on a Friday evening in early May. I liked the atmosphere and the idea of being on the 80th floor with a (potential) panoramic view. Beyond that I was firstly most most disappointed with the lack of service. Wait staff standing around like they are floating on air and not even noticing the customers. Then this pretentious way of speaking that would have been fine if the service followed. I get my cocktail long after I have to seek out making my order, and there is no napkin even though they serve nuts. Sigh. The cocktails a very poor and very expensive. I will pay top cash for a good cocktail. Mediocrity is unacceptable at thes prices. The band is loud and not great but we like live music so we made the most of it. I'll go back perhaps to show visitors from outside China. but would only order beer or wine for sure.

Totally boring hotel bar.
120RMB for a long island iced tea, the shortest LLIT I have ever seen. It arrived in a short glass and was very weak considering it was supposed to have 5 shots of booze in it, I don't think 5 shots would fit in that glass alone, even without the coke and juice. My friends all had crap cocktails as well.
Many people who review this place talk about "expertly brewed cocktails" so we thought we would try it out as the pollution didn't seem so bad the other day and we wanted to check out the 80th floor view. We were disappointed with the view as the smog seemed to roll in just as we were arriving, the cocktials were terrible and a total rip-off, the staff were rude and unhelpful and the atmosphere was lame. There is absolutely nothing special about this bar other than its location and with Beijing's sky the way it is, you only get that a few days a year... so what's the point??
The only reason I would ever bother going back is to take my visiting mum for high tea if the sky was blue sometime.

Douchebag social club
A douchebag social club with a snobish staff. Too pretentious and a bad service full of contempt. Yeah Im picky, but at 100 RMB a glass you have to be.
Real distinction is being nice and fair to everyone. Maybe the next generation of rich people in China will understand that but right now its just plain rude a-holes. Patron and staff.
The rest is just being a monkey full of cash. So this is a club for monkeys full of cash.
Try to look for Ritz hostel bar in Paris or a Marriot bar in London to see what GOOD service is.

The athmosphere, that they are kidding you...
Ok they have the fact that the place is amazing, highest bar in the jing ok, decoration ok, you cant comment on this (thats why i put 2 stars), just to see it, its a place to have a look around....
but the foreign staff over there are just so pretentious!!! Why are they doing that? They are just FUUUUUUUUUU REN am i right??they act like owning this place..
The waiters over there are so unfriendly!!!! they act like you have to clean their shoes!!
And i never had such bad cocktails (i tried 3), they just all taste the same: WATER!!! are you kidding athmosphere guys???
i also orders a japanese whiskey for 100 RMB /glass and they dont even give me the proper one!!! sure i do understand that others customers dont give a sh*t about what they are drinking if they can pay 100/drink you can give them water, hahaha, was so disapointed about the quality of this pretentious "High standart" bar... Definitely will go back there when they will stop jocking...
Awaiting that for same prices and even better view go to Yintai roof bar, they are cool, the service is perfect and they are not stealing that much your money......

soso
View is okay when you have no air pollution, which is rare. And even you don't have, it's not like HK or Shanghai: view is not so interesting, so you have a "wow" - effect for only five minutes. Prices are on the high side, even when considering it's a hotel bar. And no happy hour. So better go to Aria or Centro
