Had an amazing time on the rooftop bar!! Cocktails were perfection and the bartender (Arielle) was so attentive, charming and fun! She went out of her way to recommend local attractions and cocktail suggestions!! She is a whole vibe!! She is genuine with her passion for sharing her NYC knowledge, which is extensive! I only meant to spend a half hour but ended up spending a few hours!! 10 out of 10!! Highly recommended 🤗

Such a cool bar in NYC and the view is beautiful! Such amazing service. Arielle the bar tender is the best! She’s kind and has impeccable service. It was very well kept and clean. Love the vibes on this rooftop! Will definitely be back with friends.

I had an amazing experience with Arielle as my bartender. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure my night was unforgettable. From her warm smile to her impressive ability to craft delicious cocktails, she went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. She made me feel like more than just a customer. Her professionalism and genuine care truly stood out. If you’re lucky enough to be served by Arielle, you’re in for a fantastic experience

They have amazing staff here. The sunsets are beautiful in the evening. The night skyline is also beautiful if you can't make it there for the sunset. They have a good sound system and dance parties. My favorite one is the westie rooftop for west coast swing dancing.

What a sad experience for the NYC nightlife. The bar lacked a lot... looking extremely rundown. The music was sad and unwelcoming, unable to make a simple paloma due to a poorly stocked bar, every surface/ table was dirty. The outdoor space lacked a view and had empties that had to be days old. I wouldn't recommend this location.
