The Scene – Nostalgic locals and tourists relax at two-toned wood tables that line the perimeter of this sky lounge and offer soaring views of San Francisco. Pillars adorned with torch-like lamps surround the center dance floor--an elevated mahogany stage crowned by chic iron chandeliers and backed by mirrors and fresh flowers. A small bar is tucked in the far right corner, where the lone TV airs CNN or local sports (muted when live musicians are doing their thing). – – The Draw – The 270-degree panoramic views can't be beat. Tuesdays (7pm-midnight), a pianist holds…

Great Bar

by deapubhi

No one can deny that Top of the Mark is still an amazing place to catch a fancy cocktail and hang out with your suit buddies after a tough days of deal making. Having that said, be ready to strut your stuff; or risk feeling uncomfortable in your own skin.

  • Pros: Amazing ambience
  • Cons: Pretentious crowd

Never Again.

by DannyJB

Don't go. Ever. We're boycotting Top Of The Mark.

We've been burned by them before from bad service, but this was the last straw. We paid $200 for a dinner that was terrible. We literally did not eat the main course. Then the band completely sucked, it was like amateur hour. We had come for dinner and dancing and we got neither.

We stopped for fast food on the way home. That's not a joke. That's a very sad reality. Imagine seriously doing that, stopping for $5 fast food on the way home from a terrible $200 night at Top Of the Mark.

It used to be a nice place, but now it's just full of hot air. Anything that may have been nice about that place is long gone.

+$50 parking on top of that. I'm tried of trying to bring people there for a nice night only to be made a fool of by the establishment itself. We're through giving them $100 and $200 chances to give us something as simple as service, dinner, and dancing.

We're done with them.

  • Pros: They take all your money
  • Cons: You're pressured into saying it was a good time because you just wasted so much money.

A perfect romantic dinner

by sexytypes

This is one of the best roof top restaurants i have ever been to. The view from up there was just fantastic. My girlfriend and I went there on a Saturday night and there was live music played which was wonderful. There was a cover charge of $10 which was reasonable. The ambiance was romantic and the food was surprisingly good. But, to top all this up is the dance that you get to do there. Go there for the dance! I highly recommend this place for couples.

  • Pros: Music,dance,great martini,breathtaking views
  • Cons: Service can be a little better
