Mochi CamayaAugust 9, 2010Overpriced drinks. Snooty beautiful waitresses. True New York experience. Gret view. Lots of greenery. And mike is here!
BravoNovember 19, 2010The best views of the city. Huge outdoor patio with lots of beautiful people. There are many patio bars so you don't have to go inside to get a drink. -Ed Cotton, Top Chef
RCFebruary 7, 2015Spectacular view. Tons of room. Unannounced policies about who can sit where. After an hour of sitting in one spot, the bouncer closed a whole section of deck for no reason. Whatever, I'll be back.
Nicholas BorgeMay 25, 2018Big open rooftop with great views, tourist staple during the day, gets pretentious-swank in the evenings.
ArnoldSeptember 9, 2011One of the best views of the city! Huge outdoor patio with lots of beautiful people! But look out for the girl that wants your money in the form of a big tip, after they serviced you! ;)
Anthony DuranJune 3, 2016A cool place for rooftop pictures of the Empire State Building. And watch out for little skeezy weasel drug dealers outside after the bar closes.
Ruth GonzálezSeptember 8, 2013Hands down the best view of the Empire State Building!!! I love this place!!! Dress to impress if you want to skip the line!!! 😉
Jimmy KastnerAugust 7, 2017A decent brunch spot. This place gets very crowded, but it has the best views... if your tall enough to see over the fence.
Deanna MatthewsAugust 3, 2016The view is great when the umbrellas come down ! Food is simple but yummy and not crazy prices like you'd expect
If you come during the cooler months they give you these big red fluffy robes, strike ur best Elmo pose!!!
Ray HartjenJanuary 14, 2015Rooftop has great views of the city, particularly the Empire State Building. Nice spot to hang with friends.
Spacious rooftop bar with beautiful views of the Empire State. Food and drinks are great too. Spicy wontons and meatballs :)
Dirk KranendonkJune 18, 2013One of the best views in the city! Drinks and bottles are pricey but nothing beats a view like that with a cocktail and a cigarette!
Nadia BulyniaApril 26, 2013Best view, good music. No service, you should get your drinks in the bar. Mo food. Must see
Ya GAugust 31, 2013View is Amazing, Drinks are sub-par - stick with something like "Vodka Tonic" for crafty cocktails go to Flatiron Lounge
Wdychen NYCApril 28, 2014The crowd/vibe/drinks are ok but the view is still one of the best among rooftop bars in nyc. Central location!
Christina MNovember 8, 2013Not sure about the view, Empire State at night looks amazing for sure, but it could be better. Kitchen is closed after 12, even no snacks!Vine list is quiet poor. But deff worth of visiting in summer.
Elena GribokJuly 7, 2013If you don't want to wait in a line just get a table with ordering a bottle! Gets you inside in a flash. The service is good and fast!
Meg LMay 30, 2012Amazing views of the Empire State Building & really fun atmosphere. Never had a bad time here (although drinks are a little pricey)
Lauren AlexaSeptember 29, 2016Love the heated rooftop in the winter! Great happy hour selection and signature drinks.
CompassMay 16, 2014The rooftop bar is known for its summer extravaganzas, but the exceptional views of the city can be accessed all year round.
VahidJuly 24, 2016pro tip: once you get out of the elevator don't rush to the rooftop upstairs. The floor under the rooftop has way nicer views.
J.e. ChaparteguiOctober 11, 2014I've tried it for a brunch on sunday morning and it was perfect (quite expansive 29$). Nice view good food.
Marcel EApril 17, 2013The view of the city is great. You can see the entire NYC skyline including both the Empire State and the Chrysler Buildings.
Jeremy CohenDecember 31, 2014One of the best rooftop bars in the city. Fun fact: I wore new balances here one time and still got let in! That's cause I live on the edge.
Berk KapiciogluApril 17, 2014Many years ago, this place was trendy, but no longer. It smells bad. Though, to its credit, it has one of the best rooftop views of the Manhattan skyline.
Stephanie S.October 23, 2011No cover, spectacular view on rooftop, heated lamps kept us warm enough sans jackets (in late October), music is decent downstairs. A few good looking men. Friendly atmosphere. LOVED this place!
Alicia LuqueSeptember 5, 2010Great location and views!. Worth the brunch!. Get there early because it gets really packed!. And if it's sunny, go for the umbrellas, it can get real hot up there!
Magdalena WelczAugust 28, 20192 drinks for $20 + free view for empire state. Its a good value, but space is full of tourists and crowded. Very loud and nothing special in terms of decor, but again, people come here for view.
- Leopoldo AristoyMarch 18, 2016The rooftop and view are incredible, really a nice spot to take in midtown. That said, its poorly laid out so it always feels crowded and the expensive drinks, including warm beer, is disappointing.
FabioNovember 10, 2013One of the best rooftops in Manhattan. Great martini creations. People are wonderful. Sexy place!
Layton DiamentAugust 23, 2014Other than the view (and if you're lucky, a thundershower), the chicken tenders and cocktails were decent.
Juan RazoMarch 31, 2013This is a very good place yo Party! You can GO roof top and have a good conversation, ir GO downstairs and have Party!!!
Dez HusjMay 27, 2010AWESOME VENUE GREAT VIEW! I went on a sat n 100 dif fights from upstairs 2 the st. It progressed down the st, we jumped into a cab as they fought on the back of it. I felt like i was on the NJ shore!
Rena YisiAugust 12, 2016Amazing view of empire state building, highly recommended to ppl from all around the world.
Tony RApril 1, 2013When you get to the top, skip the line at the hostess desk and go to the left. There's no table service but you can order from the bar. It's much faster!
Lauren FordNovember 7, 2017This place is humongous. Plenty of room for you and your crew. Feels like you walked into the Tinder app.
Brianna SavianoSeptember 12, 2016As it says out front, best rooftop views. I'd only stay for a drink or two, but it's a nice place.
Sophie Benard GarciaAugust 8, 2011I love it! it's very touristy but the view is great, there is plenty of room, music, and heating in winter!A place where it is essential to discover!
Meaghan HJune 18, 2012Great place to bring friends visiting the city - the views will blow them away. Really crowded on the weekends, for obvious reasons.
Anna RiegoMarch 21, 2010Beautiful rooftop area, but it gets super packed during the hot summer nights and after work. The main lounge area is just as fun and can be more comfortable if you have a group of friends.
Deep GujralSeptember 4, 2015Good place to bring an out of town visitor. Come here right after work when they open to avoid the crowds.
