A DJ, cocktails and sushi at Skylounge Amsteredam
I’m a sucker for skylines… Everywhere I go I visit at least one rooftop bar to experience the city view from above. And with reason we organise Rooftop Disco’s now at beautiful rooftops in Amsterdam ;-) Skylounge at the Doubletree Hilton hotel in Amsterdam is definitely the number one restaurant and bar with the best view over Amsterdam!
Even if you’re not a hotel guest you’re very welcome to take the elevator to the top floor for dinner or drinks. In the summer there’s a great rooftop terrace at Skylounge Amsterdam where you have the most amazing city view on downtown Amsterdam and Amsterdam North. In the dark winter months the view is maybe even more magical. With all the lights it’s almost like looking at a postcard.

Cocktails and sushi at Skylounge Amsterdam
Did you know that The Skylounge Amsterdam is one of the best cocktail bars in town? Every season there’s a completely new cocktail menu with unique ingredients and blends made by the well trained cocktail shakers. Tell the bartender all about your personal taste and they advise you what cocktail to order! And let me tell you.. these cocktails go very well with the sushi platters you can order here! Enjoy :)
