Rooftop review roundup: Such a cute lil rooftop and I mean li. Seats about 15 and is open to the public though feels like it should be just for guests the seating is so limited. All the chairs are different and quirky. The bar wasn’t operational when we went so you ordered before you climbed the stairs – yes no lift. Luckily was only a few flights up. They had a system where by you could WhatsApp your order but actually someone was tirelessly running up and down! This is a must for a pre dinner drink for somewhere a bit different.
