Amal HachemReview ofSky Bar Beirut
I had been looking forward to visiting Sky Bar sin...
I had been looking forward to visiting Sky Bar since they opened back up last year. I came to Beirut with a group of 12 people, and booked a table one month in advance. I confirmed with the hostess, Nour, 3 times. She confirmed with me the day of, and told me not to be there later than 1130PM. I confirmed, and got to Sky bar at 1104PM. We walked up to the door manager, Malek T. The most unprofessional door manager I have ever come across. I told him my name, and he let me in. I told him the rest of the group was right behind me and he looked up my table and saw that i had a reservation. He then looked at my group and requested everyones IDs. Everyone provided their IDs, and then he proceeded to say that he gave my table away because I was late. I was confused because we were there before 1130PM, and i showed him the message, he stated that I had to be there by 11PM, mind you, we got there at 1104PM. He then changed his story to say that the door manager has the last say for a table confirmation, which I was again confused by, because why have hostesses then? WHY ALLOW PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING FROM OVERSEAS TO CONFIRM A TABLE IF IT CAN BE CHANGED AT THE MOMENT OF THE RESERVATION. IT MAKES NO SENSE. He then tried to tell me that he tried to get me a table, but he fought with the other hostesses, which was a lie because i watched him the entire time. He ruined one of our TWO saturdays that we had in Beirut. We will NEVER go back to Sky Bar, and whenever someone asks me for recommendations, i make sure to tell them not to go to Sky Bar (already told about 12 people). I read other reviews and came across several that have mentioned this Malek gentleman, your management clearly has an issue that needs to be resolved if you would like to uphold a great image.
