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).

A swanky lounge of the chic Garment District that is perfect for all seasons, with incredibly amazing views of Midtown Manhattan . Drinks are unique, but the signature Frozé is a refreshing must

Jan Roessner

Great venue with breathtaking view over Manhattan . Roof top open during late spring, summer, and early autumn time. Great for events .

Justin Breton

Amazing views of Midtown , including the Empire State Building and the New York Times Building. Make a reservation , if possible. #nyceats #nycdrinks

Came here for my bday with 15+ friends. Called a few days earlier and made a reservation . None of my friends had a problem getting in. Crowd is kind of uppity but the staff is nice. Yummy drinks too!

You can even manage to keep things semi-healthy (minus the drinking) if you step up to some jicama wraps stuffed with wasabi , wild salmon , and veggies . Read more

Crystal Zheng

You'll never look at Time Square/west midtown the same after visiting this modern bar/lounge. Everything looks amazing from up high. Small bites only, but make sure to get tuna crude & lobster taco .

Jonny Murphy

Fantastic cocktails with friendly attentive staff in a chic , industrial, lounge style setting! Surprisingly, not as expensive as expected

Elizabeth Burstein

Loved the apple cider martini , the chardonnay (cheaper one is fine), the view is awesome but make a rez to get a lounge seat

Pedro Machado Santa

An astounding view of New York skyline at 30th floor. Amazing classy ambient and space. Great cocktails . A good spot for that date.

letajanelle

View is beautiful. Outdoor area is extremely small. Drinks are pricey at $18 each but were very good. It was a nice time for an otherwise quiet Monday in the City .

Paige C

The views are awesome, especially at night. Very nice selection of drinks. Good vibes all around. Perfect for a date!

Josue Merced-Reyes

Great musical ambiance; incredible service, flavors that dance on the palate; and then, there’s the view ...

Adam Schuit

My go to place for cocktails in midtown. Seriously one of the best rooftops in the city . Not a party scene. Go after work!

sunmio FUNCTIONAL ENERGY WATER

Perfect lounge for having a romantic date . Enjoy the magnificent view . And never stop dreaming ????

Peter Scordo

Swanky(ish) rooftop bar in a not so exclusive neighborhood . Views and vibe beat most other rooftop bars in Manhattan .

Lori R.

Great views , very well made drinks, relaxed environment , great music...but not too loud for conversations. A+ for ambiance.

Go Find Alice

Excellent views with decent food and drinks. Can be a little loud though.

Matthew Caldecutt

Great cocktails and food. I still have no idea how to get a table since I'm usually here to meet someone or a party already gathered.

Paulette Noboa

The shrimp tacos , the sweet Brussels sprouts , the skylark blue and the lady furiosa are amazing! You should try. #Paulette

It's a great view in summer. Too small and they reserve all tables which is annoying. Drinks are quality. Bathroom attended is a great guy.

Christina Chin

Good views for outdoor seating and indoor. App Food was really good too

Janet Del Valle

I recommend a reservation .... I went on a Monday and there were lounge areas off limits ... unless you just want to chill by the bar , which is great anyway. ;)

sarah vergara

The view of the city is unbeatable. Definitely a must to take out of town guests to.

Alain Duchateau

Nice spot for an after work hangout and watch the sunset over the hudson!

Flora Cheng

The sliders and fries are the best snacks on the food menu.

Jomoke Tutashinda

Everything, drinks, the view , beautiful people.

Compass

Game nights go down that much easier thanks to crowd-pleasing beer towers and served-by-the-pitcher sangria , cosmos , and more.

Thodoris T

Fantastic view of the city ! Their signature coctails are delicious

Yoni Zloczewski

Has a professional vibe that isn’t my scene but it’s nicely appointed and has nice views if that’s your thing

Cindy lau

Great space, beautiful views . Cocktails were okay- too sweet, but the bartenders were nice.

Sujay Shah

Views are fantastic. The prices are not.

Linnie D

Piña colada machine installed on June 26th. They are amazing and refreshing on a hot summer night.

David Hu

A bit expensive and staff might be a bit snobby but the outside patio has great views of midtown .

Trae F

Helpful hint: make a reservation or you'll be cast into never never land. Kinda ridiculous but great view .

Corley Stone

Great views . Rooftop open seasonally and doesn't require reservations BUT tables downstairs do!

Amazing view of the city , great new spot!
