Pretty annoying scene at times, but the view is spectacular
David PereiraJune 24, 2016
Views, 80's music night. Just awesome!
Della ZOctober 11, 2011
LOVE this rooftop- perfect for out of towners who want to see the views of Manhattan!

Great view. Many sweet cocktails with strawberries and smokes. Bit noisy at night but fun.

Great brunch buffet and nice staff
Katie TuohyApril 16, 2017
The staff is rude (and downright nasty) and the drinks are WAY overpriced. The view is nice but that's really the only saving grace.
@mik3caprioDecember 16, 2012
NEVER GO HERE. Massive ripoff drink prices. Server keeps credit card hostage, includes gratuity, and rounds bill UP to nearest dollar (refused to accept coins)!!
Julian GarciaOctober 26, 2012
the best place to drink a good martini, beside a great landscape in NY
Zoe BSeptember 11, 2015
Great view of the Empire State.
Annie QuintanaFebruary 18, 2016
Definitely expect tourist prices, but go for a drink and the view before dinner
Biz TraveldudeNovember 9, 2014
The best view of the city from within the city
Nadja ૐJuly 10, 2012
Amazing skyline view!! You can almost reach out and touch the Empire State Building.
Kirill KukuruzaMay 2, 2017
Amazing view!
Nicolette RomeroNovember 2, 2014
Come here to get great pics of the Empire State Building!

Try the fried shrimp appetizer..it comes with an amazing green salsa (spicy) $12
Bonnie CarpenterSeptember 21, 2014
Crowded with no where to sit if you don't pay for bottle service, but the view makes it worth it. They have robes if you get cold.
Christen ClinkscalesApril 25, 2015
Definitely a tourist spot but you can't beat the view.

Go to the heated rooftop bar for the most relaxed rooftop scene in NYC. If it's a bit chilly out have the Triple Hot Chocolate...amazing
Louis ClerouxJune 12, 2013
The buffet is quite good for the price, make sure you get your free mimosa with it !
Abiola AbramsJuly 30, 2013
Ugh. They allow smoking here. The second hand smoke is atrocious. Every thing else is amazing!
Amanda AlbergoJune 30, 2011
$14 for a martini with no alcohol and $16 for microwaved beef sliders. And the worst service maybe ever when the roof was empty on a Tuesday. forced into a 20% gratuity. Leave this place to rookies
Adolfo TassaraSeptember 29, 2016
Very good place
Christian LøveråsNovember 24, 2011
Lots and lots of people (tourists), expensive drinks, but maybe still worth one visit. Because of the hedge, it's easier to look at the other guests than at the view.

Interesting cocktails, they even have hot choc!
IlariaMarch 14, 2015
Nice view from the rooftop bar, music in the dance floor wasn't so good

Amazing view. Lounge and drinks.
GabriellaJanuary 6, 2014
Amazing view e cool bar, a little bit expensive
Olisa AdgerJune 27, 2014
I only come here when taking one for the team. This time wasn't as excruciating due to good drinks & Olga the server. Hostesses rude: Charlotte & Gina. Had to interrupt their convo to get acknowledged
Holly FitzgibbonJune 16, 2016
Quintessential rooftop bar with a view
Nicholas SzwabaSeptember 8, 2019
Great views, drinks, and dance floor.
Holly LoomerAugust 1, 2015
Nice relaxing views, more chill than a normal bar

the food is whatever but the view is a great morning/afternoon refresher and normally always seating
Melina BrøndholtFebruary 11, 2016
The service is lacking and arrogant, but who cares with a view like this!
Nitzan BAugust 3, 2016
Prefect view, big and roomy
Ruben GuerraApril 25, 2013
Great view great atmosphere
JosephineJune 26, 2018
A bit touristy...but one doesn’t care after seeing this view!
Kerem DereliApril 4, 2015
Great views of the city..but the drinks in general is a complete failure

$14 for a cocktail but most of them are very good and the view is amazing
Pablo GtJune 1, 2014
If you want a strong drink, try the margarita today!!
F. LFebruary 9, 2012
One of the best bars in NYC. Great view! Must do it!
Thaluana MuscatSeptember 5, 2015

If you're feeling chilly, grab a robe to warm you up!
Antwan JonesSeptember 12, 2011
Reserve a table ahead of time. It beats standing up with your drink and food in hand.
