LOOK: Greenhills Skyline, roofdeck dining with Go-Kart track opens
Looking for a new bike-friendly spot for your next hangout session with friends?
There’s a new dining destination where you can enjoy food, drinks, fresh air, test your bike skills, and even try pedal go-karting with a panoramic cityscape view right in Greenhills.
Ortigas Malls has converted the roof deck of the iconic Connecticut Arcade into an open-air lifestyle hub complete with an urban garden, daily grind coffee shop, al fresco lounge, and sunset mobile bar.
Dubbed the “Greenhills Skyline,” this neighborhood al fresco spot in San Juan offers panoramic views of the city which makes it a perfect place for meet-ups over food and drinks or for mallgoers to relax during weekends after shopping.
In case you haven’t heard of it, Greenhills Skyline was launched just last Thursday (April 21), so it's still brand-new, and most likely still uncrowded. Here’s what visitors can expect at Greenhills Skyline.
Al fresco dining
Greenhills Skyline prides itself as a dining destination with its wide selection of restaurants. Visitors can enjoy a variety of offerings from Italian and Filipino restaurants, or relish pica-pica sessions with sushi, shawarma, wings, corn dogs, fresh fruit, juices, and more.
Kape Imperial
Grab a cup of coffee at Kape Imperial, a mobile coffee, tea and beer bar with a cool set-up featuring a Vespa.
The pop-up cafe serves 100 percent single origin Philippine coffee, supporting local farmers. Aside from coffee offerings, Kape Imperial serves local craft beer, from Boondocks and Weekend Craft Ales in cans and bottles, dried fruit tea, and fresh vegetable juices.
Luna Sunset Bar
If cocktails are more your thing, you can also enjoy the best-tasting cocktails with stunning sunset views at the Greenhills Skyline’s Sunset Bar. With the expert bartenders from Luna Sunset Bar, people are sure to get their pinkies up as they groove to good music and feel the good vibes all around.
Urban Garden
Greenhills Skyline also features an Urban Garden where people can buy fresh produce during weekends. They can choose from a wide selection of freshly-picked herbs and vegetables, as well as access Mayani—a farm-to-table setup that helps over 70,000 local farmers bring their products to customers in the city.
Outdoor sports activities
Looking for a fun and safe outdoor activity for the kids? Adjacent to the food stalls is Pedway Go Kart where kids and kids at heart can rent pedal go-karts.

Since 2020, the area located around Greenhills Shopping Center has featured dedicated lanes for bicycles and joggers, known as the Greenhills Active Playground. There are also more designated bicycle parking areas established around the mall.
It looks like the mall is increasing its bike-friendly spaces and events. Since cycling is a popular activity nowadays, Ortigas Malls will be dedicating a trail where bike enthusiasts can ride around and kids can learn the basics of cycling.
This weekend from April 30 to May 1, bikers can bike on over to the Skyline Connecticut Roofdeck to check out the "Pump-A-Good-Vibes" pop-up pump track powered by The Active Playground and Gear Heroes. Kids are welcome. Don't forget to bring your helmets.
Wellness sessions such as Zumba and Yoga will also be hosted regularly at Greenhills Skyline in the future.
The Greenhills Skyline will be open from Thursdays to Sundays from 4:00 pm to 12:00 midnight.
