    Unless the guy downstairs was just being a jerk to me, you can't wear sneakers. So dress appropriately

    Arrive between 5:30 and 7 to sip on cocktails and watch the sunset before the crowd arrives.

    Good views, but the door is always a hassle. Come dressed very well, and willing to walk away if they start giving you a hard time.

    If want to debate Twitter etiquette whilst wearing a tiny top hat, there is no better roof top in the city.

    Cocktails are not even remotely worth getting here. I'd rather spend money on a flask and drink with a homeless person

    They prevented my husband and I from going up because he was wearing (stylish) sneakers. It's against dress code and we couldn't attend a party because of it. Take your business elsewhere. Snobs.

    Do NOT attend the NYE event here, bought VIP passes and still had to wait in excess of 30 min to get served at the bar given they only had it staffed with 2 bartenders.

    I was a little disappointed with the view after reading so many rave. Bouncer (at 730 on a wednesday) put on an annoying act to check "capacity" when it was pretty light. Meh

    I call bullshit on this place. Inconsistent dress code requirements. $13+ for drinks in a plastic cup. Very bridge & tunnel.

    This spacious rooftop bar has great views but the outrageously expensive drinks, ambivalent servers, rude bouncers and extremely loud music totally turned us off.

    Lame crowd, lame staff, really lame, overpriced drinks for what they are - overall, pretending to be something much better than it is - a crappy bar that happens to have a view
