Connie ChiuOctober 29, 2018Really amazing decor! There’s an outdoor patio as well as a green house. The drinks are on the pricey side but good. TJ is amazing!
Time Out New YorkMay 6, 2015The enclosed greenhouse and the outdoor terrace are both ideal perches for sipping luxurious $15 cocktails and enjoying the multimillion-dollar view of midtown’s soaring skyscrapers.
Eric SimpsonAugust 3, 2013Specialty drinks are $15, but worth it. W/ names like The Tempest and Tequila Mockingbird, how can you not order them? Service was slow, but I went after work on a Fri. If you can sit outside, do it.
Jeffrey GlueckJanuary 17, 2019Great cozy bar atop the Library Hotel. Check out the terrace in warmer weather. The Complicated Kindness cocktail 🍹 is nice with scotch and lemon and a wine topper.
The Corcoran GroupJune 19, 2012This rooftop is one of the most romantic spots in the city. We’re especially fond of their literary-themed drinks like the Tequila Mockingird or Jackie Collins.
Untapped CitiesApril 19, 2016Book-themed cocktails – such as Tequila Mockingbird and Hemingway – dominate the menu in Bookmarks Bar at the Library Hotel, a romantic rooftop bar. Read more
- Gary EdwardsOctober 20, 2015A wonderful meeting spot after work for those commuting from Grand Central at 41st and Madison
Samantha F.March 31, 2013Great lounge in the heart of midtown. The atmosphere is cute and they have a fireplace. Though be warned they only offer a small selection of overpriced bites.
eric bornemannNovember 8, 2020Good small rooftop bar near Grand Central that is good for taking out of town guests staying around Times Square.
Anna NakonechnyJuly 10, 2013Great service. Love that they stay true to the library theme with drinks and waitress attire! Lovely little rooftop gem- robin shreevesFebruary 18, 2013Great little rooftop bar above the Library hotel that we came across. Rather quiet on a winter Sunday afternoon, which was perfect.

Ross SheingoldJanuary 27, 2013A great spot if you're looking for somewhere relatively quiet to meet for drinks, but also want a cool atmosphere.

Mikinzie StuartFebruary 19, 2012Rooftop bar gets turned into a greenhouse lounge during the winter. Cute and intimate.
Diana OlympiaMarch 6, 2018meh. fairly small rooftop. drinks are not particularly interesting / highly crafted so go for wine or beer here. truffle fries are somewhat decent
Sys EFebruary 24, 2012Lovely to spend a rainy afternoon looking at the skyline from inside the glasshouse.- Natalie LinApril 22, 2011Beautiful, and relatively intimate, rooftop bar. Try the literary-themed specialty cocktails.
Adam SchuitOctober 2, 2015For a rooftop bar the space is ok but the decor is average and the drinks are not cheap!
João AntunesAugust 5, 2013Worst rooftop I've ever been. Te service is bad , the drinks are not really good and it's as small as a medium size bedroom.
Karel KaaijOctober 25, 2013This place is miserable. Service is sloppy. Drinks are terrible. Expensive small and tacky. Do not go here
