Observatory Bar
We do not take reservations. We are a first-come, first-serve bar with assigned seating. We can only accommodate 6 guests per table. If you have a larger party, we may have to divide your party into two separate tables. We will do our best to seat your party at tables next to each other, as we have limited space. For parties of 15 or more, please see Group Reservations. We are unable to accommodate walk-in groups larger than 14.
We are kid-friendly.
