Full Review

Above Us Only Sky occupies a rooftop position above a guesthouse on Serendipity Beach Road, with the layout running standard rooftop bar format: outdoor seating arranged for views, a covered bar area, and minimal indoor space. The view profile covers the bay, the ferry pier at the bottom of Serendipity Beach Road, and the surrounding coast.

The cocktail program runs proper drinks with bartenders working appropriate technique and house signatures alongside classics. Pricing at $5-7 USD per cocktail sits at the upper end of the Serendipity range but is justified by the rooftop format and the drink quality. Wine at $5-8 USD per glass and beer at $3-4 USD round out the standard drinks options.

The atmosphere stays calmer than the street-level bars on Serendipity Beach Road. Music plays at low volume with lounge electronica and soul dominating. The energy is conversation-focused throughout the evening, with the rooftop view providing the visual interest rather than dance floor activity. The midnight closing reflects the venue's positioning as a pre-drinks rooftop rather than a late-night destination.

The crowd is mixed older expats, couples on dates, and the slightly more polished portion of the Serendipity tourist flow. Pre-dinner cocktails and sunset visits dominate the early evening; the later hours pull groups who want a calmer alternative before transitioning to Jack & Daniels or Utopia for the late-night strip energy.

The Neighborhood

Serendipity Beach is the southern tip of Ochheuteal Beach in Sihanoukville, where Serendipity Beach Road runs down to the water and the ferry pier for Koh Rong. The surviving bar cluster sits along Serendipity Beach Road, with the strip walking about 10 minutes from beach to top. Above Us Only Sky sits above the Serendipity Beach Road strip, accessible via a guesthouse entrance.

Getting There

Tuk-tuk from Otres Beach costs 5-7 USD and takes 15-20 minutes. From Victory Hill, 3-4 USD. Use Grab or PassApp for fixed pricing. The ferry pier for Koh Rong is at the bottom of Serendipity Beach Road.
