Concert Ticket AgencySeptember 25, 2012Gorgeous views, ample bars so you don't have to go back inside to grab drinks once you get settled. Great place to hang pre or post show at Webster Hall or Irving Plaza nearby.Upvoted Sep 29
Stephen JCMay 22, 2013One of Manhattan's best kept secrets ! This is a must to come here and do it an hour before the light fades. That way you get superb photos of day & night. Good and service superb. Good prices too

ManuelAugust 3, 2015very atmospheric with great view to the skyscrapers around. may be a bit overcrouded though. the gin cucumber mojito is one of the best mojitos i've ever had.
Lauren GrayJuly 3, 2013Amazing view of city sights, $29 all you can eat brunch on Sundays! So many spots to sit at this rooftop bar and they have strong drinks!
230Fifth is the rooftop bar you wanna go to both winter and summertime. Drinks are pretty strong and the view over The Empire State Building is everything. Go for the winter igloos experience, superb!
StephanySeptember 9, 2018Great view but boy the crowd here sucks. Grab a drink, soak in the empire state of mind and GTFO
Volkan ÜstanSeptember 23, 2016You should get here before sunset so you may see the view at daytime, in the evening and the magnificent sunset. Very crowded place. Definitely worth to go.
Ben MackeyAugust 12, 2018Nice views. If you are here later at night, the line and tickets are actually for the nightclub. Just tell them you want a drink on the roof.
Sonya RytovaAugust 22, 2017This is not just an awesome place where you can eat tasty food and drink interesting cocktails with your friends, but this is an unbelievable view on New York and spending priceless time!
Gabriel ReynosoJanuary 18, 2014Most amazing views of NYC! Drink & food menu + outside tables & bar overlooking the Empire State Building. Outerwear robes & outside heating provided in winter. Free admission. Button downs required.
Rewan PartiAugust 3, 2015Scenic view of the Empire State Building. During summer try coming before 7pm as rooftop gets very crowded. Do try their cucumber mojito! They have light snacks available too.
Frosé is the way to imbibe for a super chill. Great views & cozy spaces at the rooftop, lounge below. Full food menu and full bar up and down. Love the fish & chips, kale salad, and margherita pizza
Lyn HastingsNovember 10, 2014Cold weather rooftop fun. The amazing view of the Empire and the red Snuggies make it a perfect spot for a ton of selfies. The bar line goes fast and they have Brooklyn Lager on tap. Do it!
Kristina RoseJuly 9, 2013The hummus is absolutely amazing! Try the cocktails :) you won't be disappointed! Great views and prices are decent for the location! :) favorite place in NYC to bring friends and family to visit!
Denis SosnovtsevAugust 9, 2014If you come here during Friday or Saturday primetime, get ready for popped collars and pick-up artists. Pretentious as hell. But the views and decor can't be beat, so come for a 5-8p cocktail instead.
Bluejuice AlohaJune 6, 2019Cocktails in cool places location...? Do it once. The views are good but obscenely crowded for no reason given the space, poor service, blah cocktails. Come for 5, snap a pic, go somewhere better. ✌️
Aslı Ayfer TirtomNovember 29, 2019perfect view, comfortable environment, you order yourself, nobody is forced to eat and drink. rooftop avenue
The Corcoran GroupJune 19, 2012Get there early to take in the heavenly views of Manhattan while sipping on your favorite cocktail. Eventually, the masses will arrive and you’ll be fighting to keep your spot.- DoubleDeuceSeptember 19, 2018The rooftop is a great oasis. Similar to lots of spots but great as it is. Open air, plenty of seating, solid views and a lounge space inside if you want it.
AprilDecember 26, 2016No cover. Bartenders are generous with the pours. Heated lamps and igloos make the rooftop comfortable in the winter. They also provide robes for outside.
Allison JonesJune 8, 2013One of the biggest rooftop bars with one the very best views of Midtown. Decor could be updated - it has the right amount of cheesiness (IMHO!). Think old-town Vegas meets NYC circa 1980.
Patrick ClarkAugust 24, 2014Don't seek a Bloody Mary after brunch hours on a Sunday. The persecution of a Bloody Mary being perceived as a morning only drink must stop and I will do my best to rectify this one review at a time.
Oleg GaevoyMarch 22, 2018I was in a business trip and we got team building here. Cocktails and food were just okay but these magnificent views... Must visit. It lets you feel NYC.
Andre Rocher 📱July 14, 2015Get there EARLY! 1 hour line to enter. Good thing there is NO COVER but it is pricey… The view from the top is just outstanding.
Jen StarAugust 16, 2017This indoor penthouse/partially heated outdoor roof deck that, come winter, gets adorned with artificial igloos that fit up to 8 people. Igloos can’t be reserved, so you may have to wait - Thrilist
CristinaSeptember 23, 2014Great place to bring people who you want to impress. Fast service. If you get cold, get the red ropes.The place is there for the view! Average price. Dream away~
- Loni FrenchDecember 22, 2015No cover, coat check and awesome views. Music is top 40, but can be hot or miss. Love rooftop with robes, heat lamps and hot drinks!
ReemOOctober 1, 2014The best view on the city, really goood atmosphere highly recommended, set on the left side of the entrance for better view
AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014230 Fifth is a must as it offers an outstanding unobstructed view of the Empire State as well as other iconic buildings in the city. Read more
NCMMay 10, 2012Located so close to Flatiron, perfect for grabbing a cocktail after work and meeting many locals as well as foreigners. One of the top views of Midtown. Grab their red cloth of feeling chilly outside
Polina WeitzSeptember 8, 2021Huge outdoor seating area, with a self-service bar. The Empire State building and other building around are nicely lit at night. Great for groups. Decently priced drinks.
Katarína HradskaMarch 9, 2014Loved it from the moment we walked in... Brunch was great and the music and sun made the whole experience just perfect..
Idil UygunJune 17, 2019If you are a tourist, do not leave NYC without seeing excellent view of this rooftop, don’t be disturbed by the pool in the main entrance, go directly upstairs to smoke with your funny named cocktail.
Zeba SiddiqiMarch 27, 2016Great place to spend evenings with your friends! Perfect view of the empire state building! Definitely go their for 4th july fireworks
Jessica WuFebruary 7, 2013Very cool lounge with a chill atmosphere and amazing rooftop view of the city and Empire State Building- they even provide robes for the roof and heating lamps! Great date night spot.
ThelocaltripperJune 5, 2015Coming from Miami, I was shocked at the beer prices, especially for non micro brewery beer. Regardless the ambiance is great, the view amazing, stellas at $8.
Allison KaminskiJanuary 8, 2016Scenic views of the Empire State Building. You can even go up there in the winter. There are heat lamps and red robes
Go in weekdays before Thursday after 8 pm get triple hot choc by godiva put on red enjoy the view
Damien FaureMay 10, 2014One of the best rooftop of NY with an amazing view of the Empire State Building. Try it during the day and by night, both views are very different
Julie SosciaJuly 17, 2018Terrific views of the Empire State Building. In the winter, grab a cloak/robe and enjoy the views with added heaters and insulated seating. Indoor seating is also available.- Lyn HastingsSeptember 5, 2014Wear a cool hat and enjoy this awesome rooftop bar. Best view of the Empire in the city. Can't wait to try it in the winter. I need to see New Yorkers wearing Snuggies for myself.
Dan MilanoMarch 9, 2014This place is awesome until 9pm sharp, when the vibe turns from "oh yeah sit wherever and enjoy snuggies under the heatlamps" to "fuck you, give us $500 or freeze."
- Julie SosciaAugust 1, 2018Terrific views of the Empire State Building. In the winter, grab a cloak/robe and enjoy the views with added heaters and insulated seating. Indoor seating is also available.
Luca QuerellaNovember 20, 2013amazing views, very nice bar. I suggest Martini white peach as cocktail and hummus and olives as snack. Enjoy :)
Hanna AvlasOctober 12, 2018A bar with an amazing view. Crowded. Expensive. Lively. One thing I couldn't get is why so many steps of "security-dress-code-face-control" check? 🙄 Like I'm entering Pentagon base, not a roof bar
Mike NickersonOctober 2, 2016Tremendous views of the empire states building and midtown skyline. A little posh but really what Manhattan rooftop bar isn't?
Tamara DAugust 22, 2015Beautiful spacious rooftop. After 930 you have to start buying bottles. If you don't they won't let you stay and tell you someone else bought your table and kick you out.
Tim BushnellMay 11, 2017Wonderful skyline views with some downstairs large window seating for the nastier weather. You have your choice of dinning or seat yourself bar only.

"Another standout element of the burger was the sauce. It was the perfect balance of tangy and creamy, adding an extra layer of flavor to the already delicious burger."
