Gorgeous views, ample bars so you don't have to go back inside to grab drinks once you get settled. Great place to hang pre or post show at Webster Hall or Irving Plaza nearby.

One of Manhattan's best kept secrets ! This is a must to come here and do it an hour before the light fades. That way you get superb photos of day & night. Good and service superb. Good prices too

very atmospheric with great view to the skyscrapers around. may be a bit overcrouded though. the gin cucumber mojito is one of the best mojitos i've ever had.

Amazing view of city sights, $29 all you can eat brunch on Sundays! So many spots to sit at this rooftop bar and they have strong drinks!

230Fifth is the rooftop bar you wanna go to both winter and summertime. Drinks are pretty strong and the view over The Empire State Building is everything. Go for the winter igloos experience, superb!

Great view but boy the crowd here sucks. Grab a drink, soak in the empire state of mind and GTFO
Ben MackeyAugust 12, 2018
Nice views. If you are here later at night, the line and tickets are actually for the nightclub. Just tell them you want a drink on the roof.
Volkan ÜstanSeptember 23, 2016
You should get here before sunset so you may see the view at daytime, in the evening and the magnificent sunset. Very crowded place. Definitely worth to go.
Gabriel ReynosoJanuary 18, 2014
Most amazing views of NYC! Drink & food menu + outside tables & bar overlooking the Empire State Building. Outerwear robes & outside heating provided in winter. Free admission. Button downs required.
Sonya RytovaAugust 22, 2017
This is not just an awesome place where you can eat tasty food and drink interesting cocktails with your friends, but this is an unbelievable view on New York and spending priceless time!
Lyn HastingsNovember 10, 2014
Cold weather rooftop fun. The amazing view of the Empire and the red Snuggies make it a perfect spot for a ton of selfies. The bar line goes fast and they have Brooklyn Lager on tap. Do it!

This yuppie haven offers outdoor spaces on two levels, cocktails and bottle service, and a comfort food menu that runs to guacamole, wontons, and a prime rib cheesesteak sandwich. Read more

If you come here during Friday or Saturday primetime, get ready for popped collars and pick-up artists. Pretentious as hell. But the views and decor can't be beat, so come for a 5-8p cocktail instead.
Rewan PartiAugust 3, 2015
Scenic view of the Empire State Building. During summer try coming before 7pm as rooftop gets very crowded. Do try their cucumber mojito! They have light snacks available too.

Get there early to take in the heavenly views of Manhattan while sipping on your favorite cocktail. Eventually, the masses will arrive and you’ll be fighting to keep your spot.

Frosé is the way to imbibe for a super chill. Great views & cozy spaces at the rooftop, lounge below. Full food menu and full bar up and down. Love the fish & chips, kale salad, and margherita pizza
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019
Although touristy, this venue boasts terrific views of the Empire State Building. In the winter, grab a robe and enjoy the views with added heaters and insulated seating.
Kristina RoseJuly 9, 2013
The hummus is absolutely amazing! Try the cocktails :) you won't be disappointed! Great views and prices are decent for the location! :) favorite place in NYC to bring friends and family to visit!
Andre Rocher 📱July 14, 2015
Get there EARLY! 1 hour line to enter. Good thing there is NO COVER but it is pricey… The view from the top is just outstanding.
Patrick ClarkAugust 24, 2014
Don't seek a Bloody Mary after brunch hours on a Sunday. The persecution of a Bloody Mary being perceived as a morning only drink must stop and I will do my best to rectify this one review at a time.
Aslı Ayfer TirtomNovember 29, 2019
perfect view, comfortable environment, you order yourself, nobody is forced to eat and drink. rooftop avenue
CristinaSeptember 23, 2014
Great place to bring people who you want to impress. Fast service. If you get cold, get the red ropes.The place is there for the view! Average price. Dream away~

Cocktails in cool places location...? Do it once. The views are good but obscenely crowded for no reason given the space, poor service, blah cocktails. Come for 5, snap a pic, go somewhere better. ✌️
ThelocaltripperJune 5, 2015
Coming from Miami, I was shocked at the beer prices, especially for non micro brewery beer. Regardless the ambiance is great, the view amazing, stellas at $8.
Loni FrenchDecember 22, 2015
No cover, coat check and awesome views. Music is top 40, but can be hot or miss. Love rooftop with robes, heat lamps and hot drinks!
Oleg GaevoyMarch 22, 2018
I was in a business trip and we got team building here. Cocktails and food were just okay but these magnificent views... Must visit. It lets you feel NYC.
AprilDecember 26, 2016
No cover. Bartenders are generous with the pours. Heated lamps and igloos make the rooftop comfortable in the winter. They also provide robes for outside.
Heartee VillaluzFebruary 26, 2016
The view is definitely awesome. They have the igloos to accommodate visitors for free and they lend coats too! Even though its really cold out in the roof, they have heaters too!
Tamara DAugust 22, 2015
Beautiful spacious rooftop. After 930 you have to start buying bottles. If you don't they won't let you stay and tell you someone else bought your table and kick you out.
DoubleDeuceSeptember 19, 2018
The rooftop is a great oasis. Similar to lots of spots but great as it is. Open air, plenty of seating, solid views and a lounge space inside if you want it.
Idil UygunJune 17, 2019
If you are a tourist, do not leave NYC without seeing excellent view of this rooftop, don’t be disturbed by the pool in the main entrance, go directly upstairs to smoke with your funny named cocktail.
Zeba SiddiqiMarch 27, 2016
Great place to spend evenings with your friends! Perfect view of the empire state building! Definitely go their for 4th july fireworks

Terrific views of the Empire State Building. In the winter, grab a cloak/robe and enjoy the views with added heaters and insulated seating. Indoor seating is also available.

One of the biggest rooftop bars with one the very best views of Midtown. Decor could be updated - it has the right amount of cheesiness (IMHO!). Think old-town Vegas meets NYC circa 1980.

Can't beat the empire state view
Allison KaminskiJanuary 8, 2016
Scenic views of the Empire State Building. You can even go up there in the winter. There are heat lamps and red robes
Jessica WuFebruary 7, 2013
Very cool lounge with a chill atmosphere and amazing rooftop view of the city and Empire State Building- they even provide robes for the roof and heating lamps! Great date night spot.
Polina WeitzSeptember 8, 2021
Huge outdoor seating area, with a self-service bar. The Empire State building and other building around are nicely lit at night. Great for groups. Decently priced drinks.
Lyn HastingsSeptember 5, 2014
Wear a cool hat and enjoy this awesome rooftop bar. Best view of the Empire in the city. Can't wait to try it in the winter. I need to see New Yorkers wearing Snuggies for myself.

Great view of the Empire State Building on the rooftop! Brunch buffet is worth the reasonable price of $30.
JarrodOctober 29, 2013
Great views. Make sure you dress warm if it's brisk outside. They have blankets to get under, but still it's quite chilly. That said, get there just before sunset and watch the city change.
Darren DegiorgioJuly 3, 2018
Great views!! We went when there was a private party so it was pretty hectic. They need more people working the bar!
Kate💎💋❤September 9, 2019
Nice view of the Empire State Building and cool place to chill after a long day. The cocktail list has nothing special.. I tried the white sangria which was ok!
New York HabitatFebruary 25, 2014
With amazing views of the Empire State building, this bar offers great music, an eclectic crowd and a a great rooftop view for the warmer weather!
Perine WeilandMay 27, 2015
Great view on the Empire State Building. I went there in the Winter and they had plaids and bathrobe for visitors to keep warm! Great apple ciders too !
NCMMay 10, 2012
Located so close to Flatiron, perfect for grabbing a cocktail after work and meeting many locals as well as foreigners. One of the top views of Midtown. Grab their red cloth of feeling chilly outside
N AvedisMay 8, 2019
Very touristy. Personally not my kind of place but it is nice to bring guests up here to show the beautiful New York skyline
