Yangon Yangon

Yangon


Its tag line is '250ft in the sky', and you'll certainly know it when you step out onto Sakura Tower's open rooftop with its powerhouse views across downtown Yangon. A great spot to catch the sunset (happy hour, when all drinks are K5000, is 5pm to 7pm) and party on into the night. Admission is K5000 to K10,000.

Check its Facebook page for details of live-music events and DJs.
