“ We came around 9:30 on a Sunday night and it wasn’t crowded. We had front row views to the Empire Stage Building. It wasn’t a packed rooftop bar where you have to look over people to catch see the city lights. It was a chill vibe with great music. It’s a great place to meet a group of friends in their lounge area as well as a romantic date. I ordered the Machu Pisco which was great!!! It was worth the 18 - they put a New York design of the Manhattan skyline on my drink. I would say this is a great low key gem on Sunday night. Big plus - the bathroom was clean ”
“ The bar is closed on Sundays, but guests of the Hotel are still able to use the space. We took some snacks and drinks to enjoy the view! The roof is retractable, so it's a great place to come when the weather is good. ”
“ Beautiful spot. Really nice music that night. Service was excellent too ”
“ Great view of the Empire State Building! We reserved a table at this place for the view, stayed for the drinks and the experience. Our host Angela was very pleasant, shte took time and answered all of our questions. I ordered a negroni which was perfect and one of the seasonal gin cocktails (Flying Solo)- both were well crafted and delicious. Ordered the rustic flatbread (the fig jam pairs so well with the brie and capicola) and a cheesecake literally 5 minutes before kitchen was closing but that was not an issue and we enjoyed a quick bite with our drinks. Music was very much to my taste with a mix from the 80s-90s and early 2000s. Would definitely come back when it's warmer out and you can enjoy the unobstructed view ot the Empire State Building without a roof over your head. ”
“ The best part about this spot is the view. You can see for miles, and the skyline is incredible. The drinks are also very strong, so be careful! The food is fantastic as well. I ordered the chicken, and it was cooked to perfection. The service was great, and the staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great time. ”
“ Breathtaking views and great cocktails. It's true that the dress code here is quite strict, especially when its crowded, but unless you are trying to get in with your cargos or nikes, you'll be ok. ”
“ If you're looking for a place to experience the vibrant energy of New York City, while sipping on delicious cocktails and dancing to the beat of a talented DJ, then you must check out this rooftop bar. Located in the heart of the city, this rooftop bar offers a stunning view of the cityscape, with the iconic skyline of Manhattan as a backdrop. ”
