ℳ𝒶𝓎♍October 16, 2016Upscale open air rooftop bar that provides a fantastic view of the Empire State building . Drinks here are potent, I can tell from the quality of Whiskey used! Lively vibe and service right on point👌
Bernd SailerJuly 13, 2018Very nice location. Great drinks, perfect service (thanks Gabby) and awesome view of the Empire state building. Worth a drink or two 😉
- Abiola AbramsJuly 2, 2012Get the Mediterranean platter or the Truffle Mac & cheese- or both! The server Michelle is the best in the city. :-) The DJ is also awesome.
Ms HeleneJuly 21, 2017Rooftop bar with a closed area with AC. Good for a private function with attentive service, drink variety and standard bar food
Natalia QuinteroJune 22, 2012Easy to access, fabulous view of the city (especially the Empire State Building). Not a lot of seats, but a great atmosphere. At least worth visiting once for a drink and the view.
Yodo @rannyranApril 23, 2012The pictures give this view no justice. You must experience drinking in the shadow of the Empire first hand. Also, ask for the cute and ever pleasant host, Michelle. The service was great
Danny SauterNovember 14, 2011$9 beers, $15 cocktails. A nice atmosphere - chill and classy without being too fancy, touristy, or douchey. And to top it off, an incredible view of the Empire State Building.
Sandra van LintApril 15, 2017Good view on the Empire! Friendly service, good white Belgium beers and open roof top! Quite touristic though ;)
This must be the best view of the city: you are staring right at the Empire State Building. Sunday around six is the best time to come, when it's more relaxed and less crowded.
Gail AmuraoAugust 12, 2013fairly small rooftop area (and has a retractable one for colder months!), but has an amazing view and good vibe. probably better on a weeknight, less crowded.
G NMay 3, 2013Nice place, good drinks and amazing views at the Empire. Very cool DH and music, really enjoyed the time there.
GaelJune 23, 2010Best place to have a break in front of the Empire State Building, in a big sofa, with soft electro music & good cocktails. Afternoon becomes quiet, night becomes magic !
HeatherJuly 7, 2011Amazing view! Small roof area. Comfy big seats, almost beds. Pricey but gotta expect that with a view of ESB(empire state building)!!!!
Abner AcevesJuly 20, 2015Awesome view of the Empire State Building at night. Not as pretentious as other rooftop bars. drinks are pricey.
Nicholas BorgeMay 25, 2018Impressive and lesser-known view of Empire State Building from this rooftop.
Zack PMay 2, 2012awesome view of the Empire State Building. good after-work drink spot but don't plan on going out here or getting a meal.
Christine WayneApril 25, 2013Sundays are the best day to secure a seat with friends and enjoy rooftop cocktails...
Trae FJanuary 25, 2015Yes the view is quite nice. Otherwise nothing too special going on here. Maybe in the summer months it's got a better vibe.
Rouba A.March 25, 2014Gorgeous view of the Empire state building. Drinks and appetizers are very good
Great place to have a private party... lovely staff... visit after 8:30pm.
Iman SNovember 13, 2011Come by every other Monday for the 'F*ck U Monday, We Like to Party' drink special for 10 bucks & extend your weekend
Mr. RayJanuary 1, 2012Absolutely one of the best views with a great rooftop bar and bartenders. A must visit!
Tom JosephApril 15, 2015Close-up view of the Empire State Building but you pay a premium for the drinks- The Corcoran GroupSeptember 24, 2010Awesome views of the Empire State Building from the intimate rooftop bar. Expensive drinks served in plastic glasses.
- Amazing management, bartenders, and cocktail waitresses. Countess LuAnn was here last night!
Serhii LutskoDecember 27, 2016View is pretty good however the serves are not polite at all and drinks are just average. Wouldn't go here one more time
Nichole BrownMarch 19, 2011Ignore the $25 cost and order Truffle Lobster Mac & Cheese. So delish. Worth the splurge.
