We stumbled upon this rooftop bar while wandering through Mangalem and were pleasantly surprised. The man who welcomed us was incredibly friendly. He showed us the way up and gave us time to browse the drink menu without any pressure. On a hot day, the shade from the party tent was a real relief, and the open sides let the breeze flow through, adding a refreshing touch. Our drinks were packed with ice, which made them even more enjoyable in the heat. The view from the rooftop is beautiful, offering a sweeping panorama of the city, the river, and the surrounding hills. It’s definitely worth the walk up!

Tiny hole in the wall drinks place on a rooftop with some umbrella and fabric shade offering commanding views out over the town and river. Run by a friendly elderly gentleman.

Arti welcomes you to his own rooftop without any charge. You can grab a drink for reasonable prices. It’s not an official business - just a dude, that is open minded and tries to be kind to tourists.
