Samantha CastagnaAugust 17, 2014Drinks are $16 but totally worth it; they're all great. Beautiful shabby chic rooftop bar!
The New YorkerMay 12, 2014“The train tracks underfoot and the tattered fabric fluttering in the breeze, you must grudgingly admit, only add to the charm.” Read more
PeterSeptember 22, 2019Good and fast service. Great drinks. Amazing environment. Pretty mediocre food. I’ll 100% be back for drinks!
ShinaAugust 30, 2014It's like drinking inside a fairytale. The rooftop garden in the summer is absolutely beautiful.
UzoNYCMay 25, 2014An amazing place. Make reservations in advance so you can get a seat; otherwise, suffer the inevitable wrath of the doorman. http://www.uzonyc.com/?p=784- The sausage plate is excellent and shareable. The charcuterie plate is also excellent and comes with a small jar of whipped lardo! Get some Sleep Bowmore Punch as well.
Sandra RubinchikJuly 8, 2017The theater kids from high school are all grown up and directing you through the dark maze between the elevator and the rooftop bar.
We tried many of the cocktails, but the best by far was Scozzese in the Garden: caorunn Scottish gin, cocchi americano rosa, carpano antica
Ernesto GutierrezSeptember 17, 2021The highlight is the ambiance. Food was ok but I would not go out of my way to dine here. Not a lot of standing room. Mainly for dining. Good for a beer or two.
April DitoMarch 28, 2015The drinks are great, the ambiance is great, and the staff is too! One of my favorite places in be city.
Ben WatkinsJuly 20, 2013BEAUTIFUL rooftop bar with well-trained actors to make your outdoor drinking experience that much more fun. Make a potion or herb bag!
Akarshita SaxenaJune 8, 2018Beautiful rooftop garden. Get here early on weekends to grab a spot as it tends to get crowded.
Valerie GorlovAugust 11, 2018Get the cauliflower pizza or if you not that hungry... the corn is amazing:) enjoy the beauty of the place !!
Ellie RountreeJuly 21, 2012Make sure to get a visit from the fabulous woman in a long black gown. Ask her multiple questions about what era she's from. She's very sharp ;) Couldn't trip her up.
Rena YisiFebruary 26, 2019Its a pleasant, cozy, and friendly environment to be. I want to go for the special edition for tasting.
Bitches Who BrunchSeptember 16, 2015Eat to your hearts content on this adorably floral rooftop, while sipping on mimosas, Bloody Marys, Bellinis, and coffee. Read more
StacyAnn N. WhiteMay 10, 2014Everything Sunday brunch should be...Peaceful, relaxing, and filled with as many champagne cocktails as you can handle.
Susan LohMay 9, 2014check the calendar for Sunday brunch and snag a spot. $50 for incredible buffet, bottomless drinks, and live music.
Giovanni D'PalmaMay 18, 2016The rooftop is great when it's warm out. Checkout some of the other attractions if you have time or just enjoy some fun cocktails.
RyMay 14, 2016Amazing atmosphere ❤️ awesome drinks and staff. Completely different place in the winter, so rad!
Brittney M WalkerAugust 19, 2015Great date night. Totally hidden and an unexpected gem. Quite romantic and great views.
Margot MazurJuly 3, 2015Gorgeous garden but super packed on peak days. Go during the week for a wonderful experience.
StephanySeptember 9, 2018Bottomless mimosas. Who doesn’t want to start their Sunday bottomless? Also jazz.
José DucósSeptember 10, 2016Ask the bartenders for their recommendations on drinks. While pricy at 17$ a pop, The Forgotten Summer was worth the price.
Tiffany LeighOctober 6, 2012There are actually *six* washrooms. Three facing the bar, and three more if you walk past them and hang a right towards the balcony. These other three are always unoccupied.
Selene PinAriAugust 30, 2017It is the best place ever! Its buffet food but everything is great! The place is stunning.
@JaumePrimeroJune 26, 2013Amazing views, try to avoid the line if you can, good-looking crowd! Staff knows how to make it happen!
PatrickJune 9, 2015Really great place to have a drink on a nice night. It's crowded but still a nice scene.
Nicholas BeckApril 25, 2013You'll often encounter an old timey jazz quartet playing in one corner by the fire pit, and the overall effect is dreamlike and enchanting.
John ShrimpMarch 17, 2018Gallow Green is the rooftop bar on top of the hotel in Chelsea where Sleep No More takes place, although you don't have to wear a mask to drink here.
- Zeba SiddiqiMay 18, 2017Perfect for a summer evening hangout! Beautiful rooftop garden with good drinks :)
JPAugust 10, 2014They only take reservations for groups of 8+, don't be fooled by the website. But, the Heath is right downstairs and worth the reservation
Achille KollaJuly 11, 2015Not your typical rooftop bar. While it doesn't offer cool city views it does have a great garden feel
Zara KhanAugust 22, 2018Green rooftop on the top of the hotel which is cozy and cute but really it has no spectacular view. Only good for drinks, it’s over crowded and the calamari we had was oily and average.
Joshua SeffJuly 14, 2012Although the scenery is worth the trip, the service takes too long. This applies to both at a table and the bar. Still has some operational kinks to work out.
Hee Jung RyuJune 11, 2016Amazing bartender on the rooftop. He made me a sake cocktail of his own creation.
Chet ManciniSeptember 20, 2014Garden rooftop bar for Hudson sunsets. Solid cocktail menu. Chat with the elevator operator.
Bri BriAugust 31, 2015The grilled squash was to die for. Though I wish they had more vegan options. Oh well.- Bitches Who BrunchDecember 16, 2016The Bitches say: C-. Atmosphere gets an “A+” but this buffet brunch is impersonal, and the service totally sucks. We would only bring friends back for a drink to avoid another experience like this. Read more
Annie TolochinskiAugust 13, 2016Perfect rooftop, pricey drinks but worth it because the place is gorgeous. You can get a punch bowl for your group which instagrams well, but I liked the individual drinks better.
- One of my favorite rooftop bars when the city warms up.
ChristaAugust 15, 2014great space, interesting crowd, amazing cocktails. a very different kind of experience.
Very cool spot and a great breeze on a hot day. There doesn't seem to be much on the menu so come after you've eaten.
