    The views are incredible and a perfect sunset spot. It is beautiful to see the sunset and then the lights of the city come up. Make a reservation for sure to get a great table.

    As usual we make any place epic…the sunset vibes set the mood, although it took time to get our drinks it was fine. Sophia was cute and hooked up a birthday card and cake for my sister visiting from Hawaii. She loves rooftops so Beacon was definitely the spot. Mahalo Ke Akua for the memories.

    The promotion for the spill the tea event was a bit misleading. Nowhere did it state it was a buffet and that you make your own tea. However, that’s what it ended up being - which is fine but not worth the $65. I’ve done traditional high tea as well as tea events with a twist, but this experience was very underwhelming.

    Once up to the rooftop the older Bartendar was great! Delicious drinks and fun atmosphere. The young guy at the podium down by the elevator was rude and clearly lying to folks about coming to find them if something opened up. Plus he would say it was full even though we could go on Open table and grab reservations. That part was terrible. Once up it was the really great! Worth the view!!

    Dear Lori, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the drinks, atmosphere, and the service from our bartender. We sincerely apologize for the interaction with our podium staff—it’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll make sure to address it with our team. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for a more seamless visit next time. The view will always be waiting for you!
