We hosted an event at Rooftop on Bree and everything was outstanding! The food, the waiters, bar team, AV, and manager on duty were all excellent. I’ve worked with plenty of venues, but this team truly stands out — professional, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. Highly impressed and would definitely recommend!

We just held an event at the Rooftop on Bree a few days ago and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The venue itself is the most spectacular place with a majestic view and unique features with the roof opening up to the sky. Everything was pristine, clean, well manicured and beautiful. Emma and all the staff were extremely professional, beyond helpful and made the experience perfect. Anything we needed, they were on it and made whatever areangements in a flash. And on top of it all, they were all just so friendly and genuinely excited to help us put on our event. Thanks again!! I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone doing an event in Cape Town. It is truly out-the-top epic.

Gorgeous venue with an amazing view! Emma was super helpful in ensuring everything ran smoothly. The only reason for 4 stars, is because there was no elevator. The only way to access the venue is up a few flight of stairs, which was a struggle for some of the guests.
