Top of the Strand

Upscale 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👌

Very nice location. Great drinks, perfect service (thanks Gabby) and awesome view of the Empire state building. Worth a drink or two 😉

Get the Mediterranean platter or the Truffle Mac & cheese - or both! The server Michelle is the best in the city . :-) The DJ is also awesome.

Rooftop bar with a closed area with AC . Good for a private function with attentive service , drink variety and standard bar food

This small Midtown operation employs a retractable glass structure to seal in the warmth in the fall. Seasonal drinks roll out in early November, but there's no wrong season for a Strandhattan ($20). Read more

Easy 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 .

The 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

$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.

Good 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 .

fairly 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 .

Nice place, good drinks and amazing views at the Empire. Very cool DH and music , really enjoyed the time there.

Best 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 !

Awesome view of the Empire State Building at night. Not as pretentious as other rooftop bars . drinks are pricey .

Amazing view ! Small roof area. Comfy big seats, almost beds. Pricey but gotta expect that with a view of ESB(empire state building)!!!!

Impressive and lesser-known view of Empire State Building from this rooftop .

awesome view of the Empire State Building. good after-work drink spot but don't plan on going out here or getting a meal.

Sundays are the best day to secure a seat with friends and enjoy rooftop cocktails ...

Yes the view is quite nice. Otherwise nothing too special going on here. Maybe in the summer months it's got a better vibe.

Gorgeous 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.

Great rooftop with prime views of the Empire State Building

Small intimate rooftop bar in the middle of the city !

Beautiful views . Great drinks.

Comfy cushion seating and sous vide cocktails !

Absolutely one of the best views with a great rooftop bar and bartenders . A must visit!

Come by every other Monday for the 'F*ck U Monday, We Like to Party' drink special for 10 bucks & extend your weekend

Close-up view of the Empire State Building but you pay a premium for the drinks

Awesome views of the Empire State Building from the intimate rooftop bar . Expensive drinks served in plastic glasses.

The view & service!

Expensive, but worth it for the view and rooftop terrace

Amazing management, bartenders , and cocktail waitresses . Countess LuAnn was here last night!

Amazing view on ESB combined with top cocktails

View is pretty good however the serves are not polite at all and drinks are just average. Wouldn't go here one more time

Nice view good cocktails and good music

Awesome view !!!

Ignore the $25 cost and order Truffle Lobster Mac & Cheese . So delish. Worth the splurge.

Great view of the Empire State Building!!

Full bar with great atmosphere and views . NO happy hour however.

First rooftop bar without the madness...

Ask for Allen. He makers a great, I mean awesome Manhattan!

Amazing view of the Empire State Building and delicious cocktails .

The Forbidden Fruit is a top choice to try

Nice place good view

View was breathtaking!

Kevin is THE BEST bar tender!!!

Perfect roof to drink a cocktel made in Michelle! (the pretty waiter )

nice laid back atmosphere

Great music

Views are astonishing
