The Sky Lounge & Rooftop Terrace

I won't lie, I didn't have high expectations for the food, but both my wife and I were pleasantly surprised. We rolled the dice on the lobster tacos, since the description sounded too good to pass up, and came out aces. The lobster seemed fresh to me, was cooked properly, and went well with the spicy chilies and acidic aioli. We also ordered the al pastor nachos, which were honestly better than most bar nachos around.The service was a little slow, but thats because there only seemed to be two staff members, including the one guy mixing drinks. Aka - mgmt fault, not the pleasant servers.

Finally found pictures from the rooftop! Magnificent view of the city !

Summer's here so it's time to hit up the rooftop bars and enjoy the beautiful weather! Sky Lounge is located on the top floor of the Yotel Hotel. Once you get in, there's a small lounge area on the left and then a larger lounge area straight ahead where the bar is. They have small tables with couches and local artwork ond display. For their drinks, their mixed drinks are average, but they only had 3 beers on draft which was a disappointment. They do serve some bar food and snacks, but like the drinks they're overpriced.I've been here twice and there's usually a wait for the rooftop. Once on a Saturday I was quoted up to a 3 hour wait that was actually 45 minutes and on a Sunday it was a 15 minute wait. I put my name down and got a friendly text when my turn was up. The view is pretty good, but not the best since it's not by the water so it's mostly looking at the city and large apartment complexes. The rooftop is small with 4-5 tables, a TV, and some seats. It seems like they allow around 40 people in at a time. Overall, this a cool place to hang out with friends this summer!

Going to a rooftop bar while it's cold in Boston probably isn't the best idea, but the outside area was closed anyways. So technically it wasn't rooftop. The inside part of the bar was pretty cozy though so we were able to escape the cold. They had a couple of tables and a bar inside as well. If you check in on Yelp, they give you a free cheese and charcuterie board with the purchase of a bottle so I decided to get that which is a value of $26! Save that money! We also got the pork belly sliders, chicken satay skewers and lobster and corn flatbread. We had also ordered the ahi tuna taquitos, but the had failed to tell us that they didn't have anymore of it. It wasn't until we asked about 35 minutes later that they realized their mistake. They took off the flatbread from our bill which was nice of them. The service wasn't all that great since we couldn't find our waitress anywhere to ask her about the missing taquitos and we had to wait about 20 minutes to get our water refilled. And if you decide to use the Yelp offer, make sure you show it to them because they offer it but apparently don't know what it is.

Get the nachos with al pastor pork! We didn't leave a single chip untouched. Beautiful view.

Who doesn't love a Penthouse bar?After you enter Yotel, make a left to the elevators. Once inside, hit that shiny PF button and enjoy the ride.I like how it is set up like a lounge, where they have couches available for big and small groups. You can also just sit at the bar to grab a drink. There are also tables on the terrace, but it is not always open during the winter months. When the door is unlocked, it is worth checking out the view for a couple of minutes.The bartenders can be a bit hit-and-miss, depending on the night. I wouldn't take that personally. Just order your drink and focus on your company. They will come around like 15 minutes before closing and asking you to close your tabs. Supposedly their lobby bar stays open later than 11 PM, but my friends and I tried going then got turned away by the lobby bar as well. I have always had GIN CRAZE $14 (Beefeater gin, lemon, simple, raspberry puree). It is pretty solid.

The view from here is surprisingly terrible (unless maybe you actually make it out onto the actual roof deck). The roof deck is tiny and cramped, if you get out there at all. Cocktails cost as if they're been carefully crafted but don't compete with any spots that have their game down. The crowd is sort of Euro-hipster. Mostly 20s young, but with your occasional middle aged tourist. Although I've never been in a place with men with such perfect carefully styled hair that wasn't a gay bar. The interior is fun and the staff is friendly.

As of August 2017, The Sky Lounge is the highest rooftop bar in Boston. Atop the new Yotel hotel in the Seaport district, it comes with a stunning view and great drinks. Just getting started on the Boston scene, there's already a line out the door to get in on the weekends. My drink, the Pier Pressure, was delicious with an excellent muddled blackberry, mint and cucumber combo. I'll be back if I can force my way through the lines!

The whole experience was pleasant especially during the pandemic. Staff members were friendly and attentive. We chose a rooftop restaurant at Seaport hoping to catch a water view but there wasn't. The skyscraper view was decent though. Food was not that good except the Clam Chowder. If you're looking for a place to hang out for drinks, this could be a good place for that. Be mindful that parking is $30 for valet.

Seemed quite unorganized and we had to wait 20 min for our reservation even though tables were open. Food was pretty good including the avocado toast, lobster tacos and toastada. Also enjoyed the frosé. Nice view but service could be a bit better. Here's the updated covid food menu
