Simon KratzerDecember 25, 2016They have a great variety of drinks, an awesome view and outdoor sitting.
Bitches Who BrunchOctober 15, 2015The 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

Chris PolloneAugust 26, 2014Had 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.

Caleb LubarskyNovember 4, 2012Amazing 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!- Arun NandiOctober 18, 2014Great midtown views and a nice retractable roof. Smoking area has more casual seating and service. The elevator to reach the rooftop is almost hidden.
Elena GribokMarch 25, 2014Good 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
Lukas CarvajalApril 10, 2017Such friendly staff and a great atmosphere! Had to try all their cocktails. The warm ones were especially great during the winter!
Javier SepulvedaDecember 25, 2011Amazing 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.
Zara KhanAugust 27, 2014Loved the ambience and the view. It also has a really cosy patio. Great place for dates and drinks.
Diana ShankarAugust 6, 2016Scenic view and beautiful interior. A wide choice of cocktails, good but too pricey. The waitress was grumpy
Jessie CatanaAugust 3, 2015One of my favorites in the city. It's generally not as crowded and a good place for a first date
Gilt CityJune 1, 2011We 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, 2014Awesome spot to have a party/gathering. Good view of NYC Skyline (including Chrysler Building). Make sure to dress classy.
M G🌸September 25, 2015Beautiful views of the Chrysler building. Went with some friends and had a great time. Very friendly staff
amNewYorkOctober 26, 2011Come 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.- Great outdoor / rooftop space. Drinks are a bit pricey but you are paying for the experience and the great view of midtown.
- ThrillistNovember 29, 2011Thrillist 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)
Ashley RoseSeptember 26, 2015One 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, 2015Good service, decent view, though much too pricey - there are other rooftop options where the view is exceptional and totally worth paying for..
Kailei CarrNovember 19, 2010Nice 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.
Matty CitoMay 27, 2017Good Rooftop lounge year round, smokers section behind the main bar makes it better
- DeepaNovember 16, 2013Lovely views and not as crowded as some of the other rooftop bars in the city.
Ask the bouncer if there's a private party - better yet call ahead.
A great, secret hidden gem. Great for a date. Amazing views. It's a must see venue
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!!!
MissymixDecember 21, 2011Company x mas party...wonderful roof top setting its rainin but its retrackable windows so enjoying the rain drops and night lights! Kisses ;-)
Antony MossSeptember 28, 2012There 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.
Vivek SinghAugust 1, 2014The bartenders are pretty but they could use a lesson on mixing cocktails...go for the view not the fancy cocktails
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 24, 2010Classy 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.
The electrolyte: muddled watermelon, fresh pineapple juice, topped with vodka. Very refreshing on a hot day.
Andrew BirksJune 22, 2013Great views great atmosphere, the orange was too sweet in a screwdriver but hey
Chris EvansMay 31, 2015Food is decent, and the drinks are all right. But what you are really here for is that view.
A L E XJune 8, 2014Dress appropriately or you will not be allowed in despite willingness to spend on their services.

"Cocktails are $16-18 and the views are some of the best I've seen at a bar in Manhattan. Don't let it's proximity to Times Square scare you away. (Cool spot to bring an out of town visitor or a date)."
Nate S - 6.1
"Cool rooftop with lots of plants. A little cramped though, so probably best for a quieter day of the week"

"Great Margaritas (in jars)! Great backyard!"
