- Katarína HradskaMarch 9, 2014Loved it from the moment we walked in... Brunch was great and the music and sun made the whole experience just perfect..
- Damien FaureMay 10, 2014One of the best rooftop of NY with an amazing view of the Empire State Building. Try it during the day and by night, both views are very different
- Benjamin La MadridAugust 12, 2015The raspberry mojito is amazing, made with real fruit. It's a must have on a summer evening taking in the views
- Luca QuerellaNovember 20, 2013amazing views, very nice bar. I suggest Martini white peach as cocktail and hummus and olives as snack. Enjoy :)
- Tim BushnellMay 11, 2017Wonderful skyline views with some downstairs large window seating for the nastier weather. You have your choice of dinning or seat yourself bar only.
- Go in weekdays before Thursday after 8 pm get triple hot choc by godiva put on red enjoy the view
- Naty GAugust 19, 2018No cover. Super nice place. Lounge, house and latin music. The rooftop views are great. I loce it
- IFLYtheworld.comJune 5, 2013Best time to go here is sunset. Have a drink and watch the Empire State Building and the NY skyline while the light is changing slowly.
- Hanna AvlasOctober 12, 2018A bar with an amazing view. Crowded. Expensive. Lively. One thing I couldn't get is why so many steps of "security-dress-code-face-control" check? 🙄 Like I'm entering Pentagon base, not a roof bar
- Hartje UtrechtMarch 7, 2015I liked this rooftop bar! Yes, the drinks are expensive and the service isn't that great. But the view was amazing and on cold days they have heaters and fleece snuggies.
- NearSay NYCAugust 2, 2011230 boasts one of the city's most 'lavish' and amazing vistas. Don't just take our word for it! Malaysian Shrimp Salad is to die for!! It's grilled pork, scallion, green mango and papaya. It's delish!
- David Fajardo PulidoJune 11, 2018Be sure to get at least 2 hours before sunset, otherwise you won’t have a good table. Also, the level below the rooftop was almost empty, that’s another option to have great views of the Empire State
- Sue BridgesAugust 13, 2013Great view, friendly staff and yummy drinks. Our server Angelica was adorable and so nice! We had a great time and will definitely be back on our next visit.
- Evan ChenJuly 27, 2014Amazing view of New York City Skyline and the Empire State Building. Drinks are really good too!
- Shawn ThorntonApril 1, 2016Don't worry about going on a chilly day/night. They provide warm robes to chill in while having your favorite drink with a view to love.
- New York HabitatMarch 17, 2014With amazing views of the Empire State building, this bar offers great music, an eclectic crowd and a great mix of cocktails!
- Josh CollinsApril 14, 2014Amazing view. Free to get in. Drinks were pricey, but you're paying for the view. Bartenders use the jigger / pony devoutly, so don't hope for a heavy-handed pour
- al viciedoJuly 30, 2011Amazing Rooftop bar with fantastic views of the NYC skyline. Upscale decor, lots of patio bars and beautiful people. One con: Beer selection is limited to Amstel, Heineken, Stella and one other beer.
- Dan MilanoMarch 9, 2014This place is awesome until 9pm sharp, when the vibe turns from "oh yeah sit wherever and enjoy snuggies under the heatlamps" to "fuck you, give us $500 or freeze."
- Brian WellsSeptember 11, 2011Go here for brunch and enjoy the cool, open air and scenic Manhattan skyline from the rooftop. Come back at night for the lively crowd. The drinks are expensive but the atmosphere can be electric.
- Sarah SMay 2, 2014Aside from the killer view, the best part about this place was the traffic jam that occurs when everyone stops at the rooftop entrance to take their official Instagram of the skyline.
- Mike NickersonOctober 2, 2016Tremendous views of the empire states building and midtown skyline. A little posh but really what Manhattan rooftop bar isn't?
- Jen StarAugust 16, 2017This indoor penthouse/partially heated outdoor roof deck that, come winter, gets adorned with artificial igloos that fit up to 8 people. Igloos can’t be reserved, so you may have to wait - Thrilist
- StrolmFebruary 27, 2016saturday brunch is perfect here. yummy food & good service. nice atmosphere. perfect view over manhattan. and not too crowded.
- Sebastian GrippoFebruary 9, 2016This lounge has the best view of NYC, it is a great place to hang out. If you go to Manhattan this place is a must
- Carina 💖October 20, 2014The best view you could have in New York. There's nothing comparable to this. They have very good cocktails. The crab cake is perfect
- BravoNovember 19, 2010The best views of the city. Huge outdoor patio with lots of beautiful people. There are many patio bars so you don't have to go inside to get a drink. -Ed Cotton, Top Chef
- Anthony DuranJune 3, 2016A cool place for rooftop pictures of the Empire State Building. And watch out for little skeezy weasel drug dealers outside after the bar closes.
- Alex AlbertMay 4, 2018The guys are a bit too touchy touchy feely BUT the music was amazing. The drinks were normal but triple the price. The rooftop was the highlight of course and that’s free
- Kevin SetoDecember 30, 2017Check out the heated rooftop igloos in the winter. Grab a boozy hot chocolate or apple cider and enjoy the view.
- Stephanie S.October 23, 2011No 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!
- Jacqueline OliverioDecember 31, 2012Love the Red snuggle robes for winter weather. Best view in ths city! Recommend the blueberry lychee martini! I <3 NY
- Chris MetzAugust 11, 2014The view is amazing, great atmosphere. Perfect spot to meet up with friends in the city.
- Bayan BamukhayyarNovember 26, 2016Amazing views of the empire states building - a good time but mainly full of tourists.
- 🅱🅰🅱 AlpAugust 15, 2017I 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.
- Elena GribokJuly 7, 2013If 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!
- Jimmy KastnerAugust 7, 2017A decent brunch spot. This place gets very crowded, but it has the best views... if your tall enough to see over the fence.
- Nazan OsmanoğluNovember 12, 2017My best place in Manhattan at night. High quality and convenient prices.
- Grégory Lemaire Van H.February 11, 2014Exclusive clubbing, awesome view inside and outside. One of the best paces i've been to!
- michael geezerFebruary 24, 2011What a spectacular place to have a stylish NYC night out. The roof deck of this bar is ENORMOUS and worth it for the views you have a direct view of the empire state building. I recommend you sit on
- Tamika JOctober 1, 2017The crowd is mainly tourist and the outdoor picnic furniture. The people only drank beer and water. I’m use to the past rooftop experience with top shelf liquor and bottle service. Not going back!
- Amber SolettiApril 13, 2014Hot after-work singles party happening here on April 25th from 6:30-11:00pm.

- Stavria K.August 1, 2015Amazing view, plain cocktails with some kitch details in the design. Not unexpected as tourists love that place!
- Mochi CamayaAugust 9, 2010Overpriced drinks. Snooty beautiful waitresses. True New York experience. Gret view. Lots of greenery. And mike is here!
- Raphael MbarekJuly 8, 2017Nice view at night. The atmosphere is a bit cheesy "made for masses". Have a drink there and move on or before going home ✌🏻💤
- Lears FoolNovember 23, 2015All about the view. But you can even enjoy on a chilly night, thanks to the heat lamps, and not having to wait for service.
- Nadia BulyniaApril 26, 2013Best view, good music. No service, you should get your drinks in the bar. Mo food. Must see
- Janice ChowSeptember 13, 2017Worn 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.
- Christina MNovember 8, 2013Not 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.
