    The outdoor bar boasts some gorgeous decor, with vintage train tracks and boxcars, lush greenery, live jazz and, like the sprawling Sleep No More set below, an ethereal, haunting old-world ambiance. Read more

    Really good roof top to come to and hang out with a small crew or an amazing date. Not too fancy or too romantic but the green space really brings this place to life not to mention the great drinks.

    Hands down the best brunch I've had in NYC. Live jazz, unlimited mimosas and Bloody Marys, and food to die for. Make sure you get the bread pudding with the bourbon caramel sauce.

    One of the best rooftops in the city. Walking into an enchanted garden, with so much greenery everywhere. Communal tables are good for groups. Great cocktail selection. Pizza is quite tasty.

    Had an amazing time on a Saturday night. They had a live band (can't recall the name) which played a good mix of trippy + punk. The random animal statues all around only added to the unique experience

    Charming roof-top garden bar to have drinks and chat at sunset - though there's no clear vision of either the river or the sunset. The bar is free seating, but mind making reservations for dinner.

    Gorgeous interior and exterior space for drinks. Feels like a cozy cabin during the winter time. Food and drinks are delicious, though pricey with a long wait. Come for the view and novelty.

    I've never seen a more beautiful rooftop bar in my life! It definitely feels like you are drinking right in the middle of a garden. Drinks are pricey but the scenery is worth it.

    The punches add a further element of theatricality: poured into tureens tableside, some warm with Scotch, some indulgent with a whole bottle of Champagne—& some with jumping flames of absinthe alit.

    The rooftop at the McKittrick Hotel feels like a scene out of Alice in Wonderland or a setting fit for an English tea party. Order one of their delicious punches if you're with a large group.

    A quaint little garden in the sky. This place is lovely with a romantic vintage flair. Cocktails are a little pricey but fantastic. As a southern gal, I like the juleps.

    A trendy rooftop bar located at the top of the McKittrick Hotel. Enjoy a robust cocktail menu and be sure to check out the winter-themed cabin activated in the winter months.

    Atmosphere is worth the price. You smell the vegetation as you step off the elevator. Atmospheric attention to detail. Food is good enough. Service is acceptable. Period music sets tone. Sunset. A+

    Fairy lights and tattered flags hang between verdant trellises. The best seats in the house are inside an artfully ruined antique railcar, whose empty windows are hung with destroyed lace curtains.

    A rooftop bar designed by the geniuses behind Sleep No More that looks like a cross between a Savannah garden and a Tim Burton movie set? Don’t mind if we do. Read more

    Loved the frosè, cannot say I was that impressed with the food. Lovely rooftop but still I think a bit overrated, many more places in NY with a better view.

    beautiful place to have some drinks in the summer or for a date night! the cocktails don't quite live up to the price ($17), but I guess you're paying for the view/beautiful surroundings!

    In summer - a beautiful English garden. In winter - a snowy ski lodge. All year round - a hidden and surreal spot to grab a drink.

    The prices aren't cheap but the ambiance is phenomenal and worth it (for at least one drink).If its warm out, order the popsicle punch. Its oh so good and the popsicle is house-made.

    You need a reservation mostly. Although the staff make exceptions if you or at least three of your friends are wearing a snuggie. So bring one for sure! Or wear one always.

    So you've made a reservation and you're here for brunch. Do NOT pass over the black pepper honey that goes on the friends chicken. In fact, you should maybe put it on a biscuit too.

    "entertainers" walk around to engage the patrons. I was chosen to go downstairs to experience the play w/ a private tour. Almost peed in my pants it was so scary!! Really the best rooftop in NYC.
