Meg FarmerApril 28, 2016Perfect day drinking on a sunny nyc wkend day. Outdoor rooftop views can't be beat, grab some friends and a pitcher, arrive by 3-ish to grab a table, the rowdiness sets in around 5.
AndrewApril 27, 2016Sure, the views are fantastic (don't forget to pee for an unusual experience) but overall it feels like it's trying a bit too hard. Stuffy with decor more suited to a cathedral than a 'trendy' bar.
dawn.in.newyorkJuly 22, 2016Breathtaking views and great cocktails. It's true that the dress code here is quite strict, especially when its crowded, but unless you are trying to get in with your cargos or nikes, you'll be ok.
Odile RoujolMay 20, 2018Who books at the top of the standard? So annoying to see empty tables. Best is to be like us with a room in the hotel. But please don’t book you kill the space !
My favorite place to have a drink and appreciate the view! Never disappoints!! Prices are high but is worth it!
AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014Formerly known as the Boom Boom Room, this top floor bar and lounge offers the best that New York has to offer. Try to go in the early evenings to avoid the lines and long wait at the door. Read more
IrinaJanuary 16, 2017The place is beautiful, so arrive in style. All champagne cocktails are made w/ Moët 👌🏻 Try "pornstar martini" and "blood and sand".
thib FishMay 29, 2014Nice cocktails, awesome view, you'll enjoy some kind of 20s sophistication! But don't forget to dress up... (worst case scenario, you can always go to Le Bain next door, the crepes are amazing there)
Gaia BennettJune 14, 2015An amazing space. That's what we have here, folks. A truly amazing, 360 degree view of Manhattan in a gorgeous lounge. The drinks are fairly solid, but my advice: stick to the classic cocktails.
The winter is going to be awesome as they plan to leave blankets on the rooftop & also cover the entire roof this year so it's not chilly & you can enjoy the incredible 360 Degree view from the Roof.- The view, friendly bartenders, and amazing decor keeps me coming back here time and time again. In a city with plenty of rooftop bars, Top of the Standard stands out as the best.
Tom M.April 13, 2013$25 can get you to the top of the ESB, but here it will get you a drink and the same awesome panoramic views
Michael Fox-RabinovitzDecember 5, 2016Phenomenal views of the city from a nice gilded lounge with elaborate theater like seating and lavishly decorated bar and lights. Lots of complex and well made cocktails- Clarka HonzikuFebruary 18, 2015Very hip place with great and unusual views of downtown Manhattan. Great music as well!
Brian GioiaOctober 14, 2015Some of the best views of Manhattan without leaving Manhattan. Good cocktails too.
Rewan PartiApril 7, 2015Standard has one the best rooftop spots: Le Bain and Boom Boom Room. They have the best frozen mojito! A perfect place to grab drinks in summer with amazing music.
Ashley ChanJuly 23, 2017This bar is one of the most glamorous and extravagant that I've been to- but totally worth it. Views and drinks are superb.
Nik MittelsdorfJanuary 10, 2017Fantastic Bar in 1920s Style. Amazing City Views. Defiantly worth a visit. Business Casual attire recommended, but not required
- Farah JOctober 7, 2014The formal bar has the most delicious burgers I have ever tasted! Also their wagyu beef skewers simply melt in your mouth. The view is amazing both north and south.
Warrent SattJanuary 18, 2014This place is beautiful and has probably one of the most amazing views of NYC's skyline. The bartenders were nice, a Best place for people watching, a lot of well dressed folks here.
Anastasia CorralesNovember 23, 2018Really trendy bar & cocktails. The view is amazing. If you get in a bit early in the evening you don’t need to pay a cover!
Irene MayansMarch 17, 2013BEST VIEWS OF THE CITY. Go to the bathrooms amazing all glass. In a busy night you can have a lot of fun and even dance. Be ready to bump into celebrities from everywhere!!
Amy WilsonJanuary 19, 2015Absolutely stunning for a sunset cocktail however they have ghastly archaic/one dimensional dress code; esp hypocritical given horrendous waitress & FOH outfits. Get with the times The Standard!
DKJanuary 8, 2016Fascinating view. Wonderful cocktails. Inspiring atmosphere. Nice people. Perfect for dates. Simply the best!
Jan De CorteApril 3, 2013Make sure you dress up for the amazing Top of the Standard on the 18th floor. Great views over the city, live salsa music and exquisite people is what you get here.
OzgeOgutcuJune 22, 2015Boom boom room is a fantastic And the best club in NYC🇺🇸. You can see a Hot pool in this club at night, so amazing club ✌🏻️🇺🇸💰🗽
- Nithin DonepudiJuly 16, 2016You truly get an amazing view of Manhattan, I would recommend going at night to get the "full" experience. Awesome burgers as well! - Nithin
Jake ClementsJanuary 31, 2018Incredible views and delicious cocktails. Fantastic Art Deco styles. Check out the toilets for more views of the city.
Natalia QuinteroJune 22, 2012Features golfy & chic decor, straddles the High Line in the Meatpacking District, as trendy as you'd expect. Enter through the hotel, go to 18th floor, and walk one flight up. Enjoy!- My prefered place to sip a good cocktail while watching the sunset... Try a French 75 or a Cucumber Gimlet (with Gin)!
Elizabeth BursteinMarch 30, 2017Amazing view and too two cocktails on the menu are the best! Come on a Wednesday when it's not as packed- Lukas CarvajalApril 10, 2017The view is awesome and we got free drinks after the bar tender realized he messed up on our whiskey sours. Staff is very friendly!
- cellphone trackerappsJune 16, 2015Best Rooftop spot out there. Love going here for a good time. I can even keep an eye on my kids while i'm there with Highster Mobile. Read more
Burcu KaradayıSeptember 23, 2016Sunset is amazing. You can go on sunset and have a coctail in here. Also jazz music was fantastic
The Boom Boom Room is the best of the best. Hands down the best service, cocktails, views, and crowd. My favorite place to go in all of New York City.
PeopleAugust 23, 2010Get an ego check at this rooftop hot spot, which boastsone of the toughest doors in N.Y.C. If you do make it onto the 18th floor,check out the bathrooms—for the amazing views of lower Manhattan.
Roya SabetiFebruary 10, 2016Fun place to get a nice cocktail, and view of the city. Make sure to check out the bathrooms before you leave!
Kirk EdmondsonFebruary 19, 2016Great cocktail bar with live music and some of the best views in the city.- Percy McFarlaneFebruary 6, 2017Good place for dining and party. The open area concept with loud music really works well. Music is superb. Food option was alright. Drinks were good
- David EisenbergJune 4, 2018Reservations required for a table by the window but we had no problem walking up and getting a table at 5:30.
Nostaljik KediOctober 25, 2013Absolutely elite, absolutely full Manhattan...You should drink Manhattan coctail at the bar and watch the charming Manhattan lights >^.^<
Diana KayeJune 20, 201318th floor... the private side... membership mandatory... was lovely and totally different to the other side... beautiful peeps on both side... door dude was gracious...thanx @KarrieGoldberg #KAGE
Rebecca MazzaMarch 17, 2016Perfect place to get engaged! Get the gold bar for dessert and their fries are awesome
Great view and service, take a cab, forget driving, it's insane. Music is good, rooftop area is not to be believed. They need to add bathrooms though
The Negotiation Institute (TNI)May 23, 2012Negotiate your way into this exclusive, ultra posh lounge and you're guaranteed to impress your friends. Unlike other NYC hotspots with non-negotiable door policies, the view is actually worth it.- OUCH! MagazineJune 29, 2015Loved it. The city at night is amazing. I also love to have a sunny morning brunch.
