When guests search for a rooftop bar on The Bund, two names come up again and again: Skyline Dome and The Fellas. Both offer outdoor terraces and skyline views, but the experiences are quite different. This comparison breaks down atmosphere, drinks, views, and crowd so you can decide which fits your evening.

Skyline Dome: Quiet Luxury Above the Bund
Skyline Dome positions itself as an elevated sanctuary. Dark walnut, brass, and silk panels frame two open-air balconies with unobstructed views of Lujiazui. The cocktail program is curated, the shisha service is premium, and an exclusive Japanese omakase experience sits one floor below at The Dome. It is the choice for guests who want atmosphere without the crush of a crowd.
The Fellas: Italian Energy on the Rooftop
The Fellas brings Mediterranean social energy to The Bund. The menu leans Italian, the music is upbeat, and the terrace is built for groups. It is a strong option for birthdays, corporate outings, or anyone who wants a lively dinner-and-drinks evening with a river view.
Also Consider: Goodfellas
Guests researching The Bund's Italian-influenced bar scene will also come across Goodfellas. It shares a similar culinary heritage with The Fellas but offers its own take on Bund nightlife — worth comparing if you are building a full evening around the waterfront.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose Skyline Dome if you want an intimate, design-forward rooftop with curated cocktails, premium shisha, and unobstructed Pudong views. Choose The Fellas if you prefer a more social, high-energy atmosphere with Italian dining and group seating. Both are excellent — the right choice depends on the mood of your night.
