And it only makes sense to pair your fear of heights with alcohol.
Sample Octave’s menu, serving up Continental-Asian choices like burgers, paneer tikka, and sushi.
Sit down along the skirted edges of Octave’s outskirts whilst you try not to look down.
Or plant yourself safely on the island bar in the midst of the venue.
Sip on the high and low notes between their extensive full menu of drinks (including champagne, whiskey, beer & cocktails.)
