The view is spectacular. There's a great flow of energy. And the drinks are soo good! Definitely recommended.

Worn out, old, dodgy bar. Super touristy. You can't even see Empire State Building because it's blocked by some wooden boards. There are so many better rooftop bars in manhattan.

Overpriced drinks. Snooty beautiful waitresses. True New York experience. Gret view. Lots of greenery. And mike is here!

I love this place but foods and service are terrible. That's why, I decide to buy here and show people to how 23ü can be the best in NY.
Ruth GonzálezSeptember 8, 2013
Hands down the best view of the Empire State Building!!! I love this place!!! Dress to impress if you want to skip the line!!! 😉

Spectacular view. Tons of room. Unannounced policies about who can sit where. After an hour of sitting in one spot, the bouncer closed a whole section of deck for no reason. Whatever, I'll be back.

Big open rooftop with great views, tourist staple during the day, gets pretentious-swank in the evenings.
Anthony DuranJune 3, 2016
A cool place for rooftop pictures of the Empire State Building. And watch out for little skeezy weasel drug dealers outside after the bar closes.
Tim BushnellFebruary 3, 2016
An amazing place to sit outside and enjoy the skyline with a drink
Ray HartjenJanuary 14, 2015
Rooftop has great views of the city, particularly the Empire State Building. Nice spot to hang with friends.

Been here 5+ times
Spacious rooftop bar with beautiful views of the Empire State. Food and drinks are great too. Spicy wontons and meatballs :)
Jimmy KastnerAugust 7, 2017
A decent brunch spot. This place gets very crowded, but it has the best views... if your tall enough to see over the fence.
Deanna MatthewsAugust 3, 2016
The view is great when the umbrellas come down ! Food is simple but yummy and not crazy prices like you'd expect
Manon MaouiApril 23, 2014
The place to be ! Chill out with a cocktail and admire the view ! SPLENDID

If you come during the cooler months they give you these big red fluffy robes, strike ur best Elmo pose!!!
Nadia BulyniaApril 26, 2013
Best view, good music. No service, you should get your drinks in the bar. Mo food. Must see
Dirk KranendonkJune 18, 2013
One of the best views in the city! Drinks and bottles are pricey but nothing beats a view like that with a cocktail and a cigarette!
Ya GAugust 31, 2013
View is Amazing, Drinks are sub-par - stick with something like "Vodka Tonic" for crafty cocktails go to Flatiron Lounge
Wdychen NYCApril 28, 2014
The crowd/vibe/drinks are ok but the view is still one of the best among rooftop bars in nyc. Central location!
Christina MNovember 8, 2013
Not sure about the view, Empire State at night looks amazing for sure, but it could be better. Kitchen is closed after 12, even no snacks!Vine list is quiet poor. But deff worth of visiting in summer.
CompassMay 16, 2014
The rooftop bar is known for its summer extravaganzas, but the exceptional views of the city can be accessed all year round.
Meg LMay 30, 2012
Amazing views of the Empire State Building & really fun atmosphere. Never had a bad time here (although drinks are a little pricey)
VincentSeptember 26, 2011
Rooftop bar with a great view of the Empire State Building. This place is a trendy night time spot, but also makes for a relaxing post work visit. Read more
Elena GribokJuly 7, 2013
If you don't want to wait in a line just get a table with ordering a bottle! Gets you inside in a flash. The service is good and fast!
Berk KapiciogluApril 17, 2014
Many years ago, this place was trendy, but no longer. It smells bad. Though, to its credit, it has one of the best rooftop views of the Manhattan skyline.
J.e. ChaparteguiOctober 11, 2014
I've tried it for a brunch on sunday morning and it was perfect (quite expansive 29$). Nice view good food.
Nick van MierloJanuary 30, 2016
Beautiful view on the empire state and nice heated rooftop terrace.
Eva HeijnenApril 24, 2015
Scenic views, rooftop, nice music, strong cocktails, trendy music
Sandro MorandinJuly 6, 2015
Amazing place for a great brunch! And the view is beautiful!
Lauren AlexaSeptember 29, 2016
Love the heated rooftop in the winter! Great happy hour selection and signature drinks.
Marcel EApril 17, 2013
The view of the city is great. You can see the entire NYC skyline including both the Empire State and the Chrysler Buildings.

Awesome rooftop to hang out and haven some drinks with a view
Stephanie S.October 23, 2011
No cover, spectacular view on rooftop, heated lamps kept us warm enough sans jackets (in late October), music is decent downstairs. A few good looking men. Friendly atmosphere. LOVED this place!
VahidJuly 24, 2016
pro tip: once you get out of the elevator don't rush to the rooftop upstairs. The floor under the rooftop has way nicer views.
Jeremy CohenDecember 31, 2014
One of the best rooftop bars in the city. Fun fact: I wore new balances here one time and still got let in! That's cause I live on the edge.
Alicia LuqueSeptember 5, 2010
Great location and views!. Worth the brunch!. Get there early because it gets really packed!. And if it's sunny, go for the umbrellas, it can get real hot up there!
FabioNovember 10, 2013
One of the best rooftops in Manhattan. Great martini creations. People are wonderful. Sexy place!
Rena YisiAugust 12, 2016
Amazing view of empire state building, highly recommended to ppl from all around the world.
Sophie Benard GarciaAugust 8, 2011
I love it! it's very touristy but the view is great, there is plenty of room, music, and heating in winter!A place where it is essential to discover!
Layton DiamentAugust 23, 2014
Other than the view (and if you're lucky, a thundershower), the chicken tenders and cocktails were decent.
Leopoldo AristoyMarch 18, 2016
The rooftop and view are incredible, really a nice spot to take in midtown. That said, its poorly laid out so it always feels crowded and the expensive drinks, including warm beer, is disappointing.
Juan RazoMarch 31, 2013
This is a very good place yo Party! You can GO roof top and have a good conversation, ir GO downstairs and have Party!!!
Magdalena WelczAugust 28, 2019
2 drinks for $20 + free view for empire state. Its a good value, but space is full of tourists and crowded. Very loud and nothing special in terms of decor, but again, people come here for view.
Tony RApril 1, 2013
When you get to the top, skip the line at the hostess desk and go to the left. There's no table service but you can order from the bar. It's much faster!
Dez HusjMay 27, 2010
AWESOME VENUE GREAT VIEW! I went on a sat n 100 dif fights from upstairs 2 the st. It progressed down the st, we jumped into a cab as they fought on the back of it. I felt like i was on the NJ shore!
Christiana MakariouSeptember 15, 2018
Amazing views and great casual atmosphere!
Meaghan HJune 18, 2012
Great place to bring friends visiting the city - the views will blow them away. Really crowded on the weekends, for obvious reasons.
Lauren FordNovember 7, 2017
This place is humongous. Plenty of room for you and your crew. Feels like you walked into the Tinder app.
Anna RiegoMarch 21, 2010
Beautiful rooftop area, but it gets super packed during the hot summer nights and after work. The main lounge area is just as fun and can be more comfortable if you have a group of friends.
Mark JonesMay 12, 2013
Stunning views of NY, but this place is really popular so make sure that you get here early or reserve a table.
