They have a great variety of drinks, an awesome view and outdoor sitting.
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 15, 2015
The Bitches Say: B-. Our brunch selections were good and the cocktails were very tasty and unique. We only wish Upstairs had an open-roof policy on nice days so we could have enjoyed dining outdoors. Read more

Had a small birthday party here. The hosts and servers were gorgeous and couldn't have been more accommodating. The DJ was excellent. Exceptional views. The hors d'oeuvres were great.

Amazing view and solid DJ/Dancing late night. Jordana and the waitstaff did a great job for my girlfriends birthday, even with a packed house. Worth checking out and having a good time for sure!

Good place, with facecontrol and checking your id, the music is a bit too loud if you want smth for a relax and fancy night other then that all is really good

Great midtown views and a nice retractable roof. Smoking area has more casual seating and service. The elevator to reach the rooftop is almost hidden.
Lukas CarvajalApril 10, 2017
Such friendly staff and a great atmosphere! Had to try all their cocktails. The warm ones were especially great during the winter!
Javier SepulvedaDecember 25, 2011
Amazing trendy place great view great atmosphere with dj spinning. Came here for brunch shared the blueberry pancakes which were superb and the french fries were nice and crisp.

Loved the ambience and the view. It also has a really cosy patio. Great place for dates and drinks.
Diana ShankarAugust 6, 2016
Scenic view and beautiful interior. A wide choice of cocktails, good but too pricey. The waitress was grumpy
Jessie CatanaAugust 3, 2015
One of my favorites in the city. It's generally not as crowded and a good place for a first date
Gilt CityJune 1, 2011
We love this rooftop lounge for its views, sure: but the spiced duck “cigars” with pomegranate dipping sauce are the real reason we keep going back.
Tariq AhmadMarch 24, 2014
Awesome spot to have a party/gathering. Good view of NYC Skyline (including Chrysler Building). Make sure to dress classy.
ThrillistAugust 26, 2010
Enjoy libations like the Knob Creek/dry vermouth/Maraschino Midtown Manhattan at the spectacular main bar, which's topped with blue Belgian marble and wrapped in LED-backlit rubbed bronze lattice work Read more

Beautiful views of the Chrysler building. Went with some friends and had a great time. Very friendly staff

Come have a rocking brunch! Brunch takes a twist with a DJ, $24 truffled duck-egg toast and complimentary Bloody Marys or mimosas with most entrees.

Thrillist presents Dell Discoveries: Namedrop Dell & Thrillist and you’ll get the citrus-n-cinnamon North Star Cocktail for $10 instead of the normal $16 -- all day, every day. (Through Dec. 31st)

Great outdoor / rooftop space. Drinks are a bit pricey but you are paying for the experience and the great view of midtown.
Ashley RoseSeptember 26, 2015
One of the few rooftop bars you can show up with a huge crew and not have to wait. Great views of Chrysler building. But agree with others- overpriced.
Ana PavApril 5, 2015
Good service, decent view, though much too pricey - there are other rooftop options where the view is exceptional and totally worth paying for..
Taisiia I.August 23, 2015
Great views and drinks. Book a table in advance.
Matty CitoMay 27, 2017
Good Rooftop lounge year round, smokers section behind the main bar makes it better
Kailei CarrNovember 19, 2010
Nice rooftop bar. Ladies, don't let the "manliest drink alive" description deter you. The "rum service" cocktail is really good. My only complaint is the $16 cocktail price.
Sam WinnickJune 4, 2015
Great for rooftop happy hour. Not raging and no music but nice place to sit.
Liz FitzgibbonApril 19, 2016
Views, cheese and meat platters, fries, wine

Ask the bouncer if there's a private party - better yet call ahead.

The mushroom is everything
DeepaNovember 16, 2013
Lovely views and not as crowded as some of the other rooftop bars in the city.
Rebecca MazzaOctober 16, 2015
The drinks and view are just ok but it's a special place.

Management will run this place into the ground. Telling 100 people from a wedding party they can't sit at a table after the bride has 50 rooms reserved?? Your roof isn't that cool- worst.EVAR!!!

A great, secret hidden gem. Great for a date. Amazing views. It's a must see venue

Solid rooftop in summer that doesn't get too crazy
Nat EliasonSeptember 2, 2017
Great cocktail list for $18, weekend DJ is very good too

Autumn in New York and a good friend.. All you need to enjoy the place :)
Vivek SinghAugust 1, 2014
The bartenders are pretty but they could use a lesson on mixing cocktails...go for the view not the fancy cocktails
Moe GFebruary 22, 2015
The chicken and peanut butter sauce is awesome!!!
Antony MossSeptember 28, 2012
There is style here but little substance: the Manhattan (bulleit and sticky maraschino) is NOT great, and the version at NOIR (couple of doors east) is dimensionally better.
Nicholas BorgeMay 25, 2018
Swanky rooftop bar with expensive drinks but nice spot.
Brittany SübersJune 13, 2015
Don't let this place fool you... The guacamole is amazing.

The electrolyte: muddled watermelon, fresh pineapple juice, topped with vodka. Very refreshing on a hot day.
Andrew BirksJune 22, 2013
Great views great atmosphere, the orange was too sweet in a screwdriver but hey
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 24, 2010
Classy atmosphere and amazing views of the Chrysler building, when the roof is open. We found the drinks to be too expensive and the music not so good.
Zoe CareyAugust 5, 2018
Great space but the clientele are pretty pretentious
A L E XJune 8, 2014
Dress appropriately or you will not be allowed in despite willingness to spend on their services.
Melissa SJune 3, 2012
Strong manhattan. Awesome view. Cool spot in a random hood.

Amber was a great cocktail waitress. Friendly & helpful. Good eats, too.
