Vista Bar

“Perfect view to see Shwedagon Pagoda in the night. It is a good place for chilling with your friends on the rooftop. Music is very good. Beer and food are acceptable but sometimes, some items in menu are not served. Price is reasonable. We paid 70,000kyats for more ten cups of beer and 6 dishes. Spacious space, no noise. Parking is not available - you have to park on the street.”

“It's one of the few bars that plays slow and soft beat music. Mostly they play Westlife (Band) songs and other slow beat pop songs. So you can have a peaceful conversation with anyone you go with. Only give three stars because it has downsides. One of the things is it has no parking space. So you have to find an unsafe place to drop your car. Another bad thing is that the elevator is not usable. Since it is a rooftop bar, you can have some good scenery. You can see the Shwe Dagon pagoda clearly but another downside is that there is also a building beside which is higher and it makes you unable to watch the sunset from the bar. When talking about food and beverages, it's ok to eat. The price of the drinks ranges from $4-7. Services are good and I'll give 4 out of 5.”

“One of the three well known sky bars located in and around the Shwedagon Pagoda, Vista stands true to its name and certainly offers the most iconic view of the Pagoda. Vista is located about 4 floors up from its street side entrance and consists of 2 terraces, one such terrace offers that highly compelling view of the Shwedagon. During the dry season this terrace is open air (during rainy season it is enclosed by a canopy) and consists of three rows of seats and tables across. The terrace is serviced by two bars, one at either end. Modern commercial music like Demi Lovato was playing but the volume was thankfully not over powering. However, there were no prices on the menu, I recommend asking for the prices before committing to a purchase. Tiger draft was MMK 1,500. Also, since the signature of Vista is its view of the Pagoda, it was annoying that there were many staff members who continuously blocked the view either by walking around without purpose or by just standing and hence blocking the view of the Pagoda. All in all, certainly a place to check out for some nice night time photos of the Shwedagon Pagoda while enjoying a nice cold beer. However, there is very little alternative views (like a downtown skyline) to see from Vista. In my experience, a beer or two was sufficient before moving on.”

“Probably the best roof top bar view of Shwedagon in Yangon... Decent food and drinks at fair prices. Music needs improvement to lift the vibe but food and drinks are ok. Walk up stairs are a bit of a hassle Vs the new Freesia rooftop bar next door which has an elevator (but less impressive view). But overall a nice chill place to hang out and bring visitors wanting a nice nighttime view.”

“One of good bar in Yanggon with the view of Shwedagon Pagoda at the night time. Good to hangout with the friends after office of weekend. There are some improvements required such as toilet not clean and no light when I'm there and also bar is to dark, it hard to see the food or menu so have to use LED light from mobile phone.”
