Refinery Rooftop is one of the nicest rooftop spots in the entire city . Their bartenders were extremely professional, quick and made excellent drinks. I'll definitely be back.
Great view of the Empire State Bldg, and great sliders :) Great scene but very random crowd though. Doorman has to give you access up the elevator , so planning a party is the best way up.
Cocktails were good, the crowd not too bad. It's actually smaller than I thought. But you have a great view of the Empire State Building so a plus for tourists . ???????? thumbs up for me!
At this grand, industrial chic fusion of indoor- outdoor space , and the glow of the Empire State Building join forces to play Cupid. The strong cocktails also help. Read more
A beautiful rooftop which gets crowded in early hours of the evening. They have great appetizers and drinks! Order shot in the dark and get yourself some sliders . Sit back and enjoy!
Good lunch menu with a choice for everyone. Great views of the Empire State Building. Atmosphere alone makes it worthwhile for lunch or after work drinks.
Grab a drink and take in the views of the Empire State Building from high atop the Refinery Hotel . We especially love the cocktail caddies, served in a carafe with enough glasses to share with pals!
drinks at the bar .. prime location but the best about this place is Jessica!! maybe the "best" host in NYC!! (listens, smiles, amazingly helpful and overall A+service) Thrillist kind of best!
Views are amazing. Top 10 Rooftops in NYC!! Must have reservations for the rooftop on the weekends or an in with Jamie. The bar small bites are good. Try the conch fritters .
Sunday funday ???? This is a great bar in midtown and satisfies that rooftop desire in the middle of winter thanks to the covered bar area.
The view is terrific; bartenders are experts and the space is huge. Definitely worth a visit for lunch and/or after work drinks; excellent for group events
Great view of the Chrysler Building. Tasting drinks and a fun outdoor seating area . Like all rooftop bars in NYC, don't expect the patio to be open in winter so expect it to be very crowded .
Great atmosphere, just relaxed and not so pushy! Love the lights and outdoor area . In addition great beers and friendly staff ! Perfect for a drink :)
Great rooftop . Bar has good vibes. Try the burrata grilled cheese , truffle fries , and spinach blue crab dip with your drinks.
The rooftop and ambiance are great! The only negative is the bartenders cater to making drinks for table service rather than people at the bar so it is impossible get a drink.
Excellent view of the Empire State Building! Favorite rooftop bar ! Must make reservations in advance.
nice view of the empire state building, many tourists and luckily not that many snobs ???? nice cocktails ???? but yeah its NYC be ready to burn the coal! ????
“There’s a retractable glass ceiling, a fireplace , high tables and low couches , tiered plates of food, and a menu of Bites, Dips , Flats, Crispies , and Balls.” Read more
Perfect for a sunny but cold winter's day. Eat at the bar where there's a lot of sunlight. Business lunch is a bargain at $21.
Over in the Garment District you’ll find this year-round lounge (thanks to a retractable glass roof) with an up-close look at the Empire State Building. Read more
Amazing Rooftop view with cosy rustic environment! For cocktails try Luster & Martini Thyme
Drinks and views are fantastic - prices within reason for this type of bar . Downside is the bumbling bouncer and comical hand stamp routine. Need to get their act together!
Sit by the fire and enjoy a cocktail . Perfect for date night ????
Beautiful fairy lights , cozy fireplace , and stunning views of the Empire State Building. Good spot for a date over drinks.
Perfect central spot in Midtown, the view is nice, the music gradually becomes more dynamic and cocktails are delicious!
The view and the feels ! Reasonable prices and on the best most laid back ambiences !
Great spot for drinks and views-horrific first impression with the comical and clueless bouncers. If you have patience with the incompetent staff in the lobby than it is worth going up.
Good drinks and good food! Mushroom flatbread was incredibly delicious! Mojito with strawberry was good too!
In a city where there are so many incredible rooftops I have to say it wasn't in my top list. Cocktails weren't good and the open terrace was closed. So for those reasons it didn't wow me!
There is amazing view from Empire State . Try the truffle fries !
Order the margarita flatbread while taking in the dj's rare year of the cat by al Stewart remix. Say hi and bye to Jaime on your way in and out.
Place to enjoy the early night. Many locations to observe ESB. Nice vibes.
Casual chic and a great close view of the empire. Patio closes at 1am and make sure you reserve ahead for guest list.
one of the best rooftops around, fantastic drink selection
My favorite hotel rooftop bar in midtown . Great for any occasion. Great decor and drinks
A great place to meet a friend and have nice and comfy conversations.
Really cozy and bustling environment on a Sunday night! And great views , but $17 cocktails ....I don’t know ????????
Great atmosphere & selection of liquor . Go early to catch sunset
One of the best rooftop bar setups in Manhattan. Call ahead to make sure they're not holding a private event .
Great spot for drinks outside on a spring/summer day. Ask for Brittany - she's the best and most attentive waitress !
While the place is nice, i think the view is not great (only 12th floor!) snacks (hummus , pita chips ) are good. Cocktail selection and taste are a 7/10. Pretty decent hard liquor selection . Gets busy
Awesome Mojitos , great views of the city and plenty room for seating though it is extremely packed on The weekends so beware! :)
Beautiful view of the city and the doormen aren't the usual tools that are employed at rooftop bars
One of the best rooftop in town . Gorgeous view of ESB. Love it.
Very nice and chill rooftop . There are two bouncers downstairs, but if you get up you should have a good time.
Unexpectedly cozy rooftop lounge ranges from hopping to quiet depending on the time of day.
Reasonable level of douchiness but not as bad as the a Meatpacking crowd. Great view of the Empire State Building but you're still a bit low. I'd be more likely to come after work than late next time.
Great views and drinks! A must!
Chill place but they turn the lights off during the week around 10 pm for the residences in the block, so it gets super dark!
One of my favorite rooftop bars in NYC. Later in the evening, it becomes a dance party .
Fantastic jazz quartet play in a very nice cozy comfortable lounge most days. Fantastic drinks and service. - Lisa F
Their happy hour specials are pretty good! Very fun place to go for a dinner and drinks! - Arysbells
Gorgeous garden but super packed on peak days. Go during the week for a wonderful experience. - Margot Mazur
As everyone recommends, definitely check out the rooftop. Lots of comfy seating! - Nina Nirema
Beautiful respite from a New York day. Plenty of seating, free table tennis, and nearby vendors. - John Gardiner IV
Fig & prosciutto flatbread & mushroom fregola pasta are musts! - Christianna Giordano
Always my favourite place to be when I am in NY. Love the dynamic. - Atika Al-Bimani
