Found on the rooftop of The Leonardo, Alto234 is the highest urban bar in Africa. Redefining ‘drinks with a view’, the rooftop bar and viewing deck boasts 360-degree views, overlooking the lush landscape of Joburg. Serving only the world’s finest when it comes to drinks, tapas and service, Alto234 is one of the most aspirational and exclusive places in South Africa to be. It is quite simply described in three words: High. On. Life.

    I was disappointed because I brought my daughter for her 15th birthday. I informed reception and they informed the bar and said they arrange a little somthing for her. They did nothing i asked them what happened they said they simply forgot this was really 😞 disappointing

    Dear Zeneth, Thank you for sharing this with us. We are truly sorry that your daughter’s 15th birthday was not handled with the care and attention it deserved, especially after you had informed reception and were assured something would be arranged. We understand how disappointing it must have been to hear it was simply forgotten. This is not the experience we want for our guests, and we will address it with our team. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a much better visit. Kind regards, The Team

    It is expensive to redo a booking n come back hoping for a better experience when we already spent so much for the experience. Surely there was be something you can try n do to entice us as your customers.

    The views are beautiful but there is no atmosphere. For what you pay just to go up and see the city isn’t worth it. The place has so much potential. There could be a dj or even just music. It’s also ridiculous that one has to pay almost 20 euros per person to go up to the restaurant and then the drinks are extra and overpriced. No where in the world asks for an entry fee to a rooftop bar. (And if they do it’s because there’s sone sort of entertainment) We were given nuts, biltong and olives as snacks. It’s a cheap snack and not worth it. What a pity to have such a beautiful location and not do anything but over charge the guests. I don’t recommend going here. And let’s be honest, Johannesburg doesn’t even have a skyline so it’s all flat from the top!!
