Simon Kratzer

They have a great variety of drinks, an awesome view and outdoor sitting .

Bitches Who Brunch

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

Chris Pollone

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.

Caleb Lubarsky

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!

Arun Nandi

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.

Elena Gribok

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

Lukas Carvajal

Such friendly staff and a great atmosphere! Had to try all their cocktails . The warm ones were especially great during the winter!

Javier Sepulveda

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.

Zara Khan

Loved the ambience and the view . It also has a really cosy patio . Great place for dates and drinks.

Jessie Catana

One of my favorites in the city . It's generally not as crowded and a good place for a first date

Diana Shankar

Scenic view and beautiful interior . A wide choice of cocktails , good but too pricey . The waitress was grumpy

Gilt City

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 Ahmad

Awesome spot to have a party/gathering. Good view of NYC Skyline (including Chrysler Building). Make sure to dress classy .

Thrillist

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

M G????

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

amNewYork

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.

Christopher Tai

Great outdoor / rooftop space. Drinks are a bit pricey but you are paying for the experience and the great view of midtown.

Thrillist

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)

Ashley Rose

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 Pav

Good service , decent view , though much too pricey - there are other rooftop options where the view is exceptional and totally worth paying for..

Kailei Carr

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.

Matty Cito

Good Rooftop lounge year round, smokers section behind the main bar makes it better

Taisiia I.

Great views and drinks. Book a table in advance.

Liz Fitzgibbon

Views , cheese and meat platters, fries , wine

nova naomi

The mushroom is everything

Deepa

Lovely views and not as crowded as some of the other rooftop bars in the city .

Ian Orekondy

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

Sam Winnick

Great for rooftop happy hour . Not raging and no music but nice place to sit.

erica maurer

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

Rebecca Mazza

The drinks and view are just ok but it's a special place.

Christina Coster

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!!!

Nat Eliason

Great cocktail list for $18, weekend DJ is very good too

Taylor VA

Solid rooftop in summer that doesn't get too crazy

Олександра Гарагонич

Amazing view for Empire State Building )

Missymix

Company x mas party...wonderful roof top setting its rainin but its retrackable windows so enjoying the rain drops and night lights! Kisses ;-)

Honghui Yu

Chill rooftop bar with a great view of the Chrysler building

Esin Imer

Autumn in New York and a good friend.. All you need to enjoy the place :)

Vivek Singh

The bartenders are pretty but they could use a lesson on mixing cocktails ...go for the view not the fancy cocktails

Antony Moss

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.

Moe G

The chicken and peanut butter sauce is awesome!!!

The Corcoran Group

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.

Nicholas Borge

Swanky rooftop bar with expensive drinks but nice spot.

Brittany Sübers

Don't let this place fool you... The guacamole is amazing.

Yesbelt Fernandez

The electrolyte: muddled watermelon , fresh pineapple juice , topped with vodka . Very refreshing on a hot day.

Zoe Carey

Great space but the clientele are pretty pretentious

Andrew Birks

Great views great atmosphere , the orange was too sweet in a screwdriver but hey

Chris Evans

Food is decent, and the drinks are all right. But what you are really here for is that view .

A L E X

Dress appropriately or you will not be allowed in despite willingness to spend on their services.

Melissa S

Strong manhattan. Awesome view . Cool spot in a random hood.

Anne Kerns

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