The daily pool pass ($55 weekend, $45 weekday) says 12-4PM but is actually good for all day. Opt for a bottle of rosè and the mezze platter and enjoy the sunshine.
Date Night Is...April 30, 2013For the ultimate see-and-be-seen Date Night spot, make a reservation out back and lounge by their roomy saltwater pool with a cocktail. (TIP: you don't have to be a hotel guest to reserve pool spots)
Sean StenstromMarch 8, 2020Rooftop bar - You'll find year-round sprawling views of Manhattan and McCarren Park at this rooftop, with cocktails highlighting local craft distillers. Rotation of live performances and DJ sets
Andreas HunzikerJuly 7, 2015Pool: Very unpleasant experience on the weekend as too many people are let in. Literally every square inch is occupied leaving many visitors on the ground or sitting on a regular chair. $75 (Sat)
- @thirstyJuly 11, 2016Views of the Manhattan skyline and poolside cocktails? McCarren Hotel & Pool has both! This well-loved Brooklyn spot has a chilled-out vibe and is the perfect place for relaxing on a hot summer day.
The lamb ribs shown here, soft shell crab sliders and pulled pork dumplings are all insanely top notch. Ask for the special spicey sauce.
HolidayMay 16, 2017Quiet rooms, high end fixtures, beds are on the soft side but good free coffee in lobby made up for it. City courts across the street, so if you play bring your rackets. Great leafy location.
Josh MateoSeptember 27, 2015Amazing fun at the pool, hefty cover charge, but food and drink are super good and reasonable! Snag the large cabana if you get there early.
- Steven JohansenFebruary 3, 2015Nice room, cool roof deck bar, definitely go for Happy Hour if your staying at the hotel. The desk will give you free drink coupons.
Great, friendly staff! Martin makes you really feel welcome. Great location,nice clean rooms and free continental breakfast.
Justin BretonJune 20, 2014The cocktail menu at the pool is really disappointing. Options are beer or wine with an added ingredient(s) for more than $60. Service is blah. It's a salt water pool in NYC, though. #nycadventures
MIWA YANGOctober 3, 2015nice hotel with good service. too bad didnt have time to enjoy the pool. Clean Lovely room.
Samantha GerstenAugust 20, 2015Don't be fooled by the $45 day pass! You are only allowed to sit in the bleachers like second class citizens. A day bed aka a chair is over $200.
Edomia zaide BereheOctober 13, 2017Awesome view of NYC, not to big which I prefer. Has a more intimate feel
Sacha SJuly 5, 2017You can use the pool all day for something like 40$. The rooftop is so nice for cocktails.
Great pool area and rooftop is nice. The bar food is embarrassingly bad though. Way below the standard in the area.
Maria VazquezAugust 19, 2016Didn't use the pool, will have to go back and try it. The appetizers and drinks were good. The mosquitos, probably because of the pool, NOT!- An amazing fitness center in the basement - bikes, rower, dumbbells, ellipticals, treadmills, etc.
Dominic CampbellMay 3, 2014Delusions of grandeur. Costs more than it's worth then lacks generosity at every turn, charging the earth for every little thing. Bad value for money...
Uber NYCAugust 22, 2013Offering 50 comp entries for night swim each day from 5p-9p during Uber NYC's #BKLOVESuberX, 8/23-25/13.
AmateurConciergeJune 3, 2013I meaaaan, it's priced like a Manhattan hotspot but amenities are lacking, lobby is minimalist, wifi spotty and AC frowned upon. Pros: pool scene, location
Rosana HarmsSeptember 13, 2013DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS YOU ENJOY LOUD MUSIC UNTIL MIDNIGHT stayed here because I had meeting 8am It's is 11:41 and bed shaking from the loud music coming from upstairs bar. Have called front desk 3x
- Korey GirdnerMarch 17, 2016Terrible service! No front desk agent present upon entry; after waiting for him to return from the bathroom, he proceeds to have a 30 min convo about it being his bday, alterations to his clothes etc.
