40 Sky Bar & Lounge

40 Sky Bar & Lounge is on the 40th floor of the Conrad Osaka at 3-2-4 Nakanoshima, a hotel connected to Higobashi and Watanabebashi rail stations. The hotel lists opening hours of 11:00 to 22:30 from Sunday to Tuesday and 11:00 to 00:00 from Wednesday to Saturday, with last drink orders at 22:00 and 23:30 respectively. An afternoon tea set runs from 11:00 to 18:00.

A cover charge of ¥1,650 per person applies at set times: 14:30 to 17:00 on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, 19:30 to 22:00 on Monday, Tuesday and Sunday, and from 20:00 on Wednesday to Saturday and the day before a holiday. The hotel's menu lists a Margarita at ¥2,600, a Clear Daiquiri at ¥2,800, a Whiskey Sour at ¥3,000, an 8-spice Moscow Mule at ¥2,600, mocktails at ¥2,200 and Takoyaki in the Sky at ¥3,500. Tables are booked through TableCheck. Osaka Tourism describes the room as a glassed-in lounge rather than an open-air terrace, with a smart-casual dress code, and lists a weekday 17:30 to 19:30 "Aperitif in the Sky" set at ¥7,000. Not for you if you want a late finish on a Sunday or Monday, when the bar stops serving at 22:00.
