This is a much better way to visit an elevated view of the city than paying the absurd $30+ dollars for the top of the rock observation deck. Being 65 floors up and paying $9, you can get a nice cider and sit down in a fancy restaurant while enjoying the incredible views of the city. In good weather, the outdoor deck is open to eat on ($65 minimum) and walk outside once you get a drink. You can also grab some food and more expensive drinks, but I go up there to buy an inexpensive drink with great views. Try to make reservations before going up as it can get packed in there. Reservations also allow you to get a seat while if you walk up, you will have to stand without views as good.
