Abigail ByromMay 26, 2010This is the most amazing place for drinks at sundown. A great view of the city, and a beautiful rooftop. Make sure to dress nice!- Kyle RosenbaumMay 7, 2012Arrive between 5:30 and 7 to sip on cocktails and watch the sunset before the crowd arrives.

Jemar SouzaJune 24, 2013Unless the guy downstairs was just being a jerk to me, you can't wear sneakers. So dress appropriately- If you come NY, stop going to statue of liberty that's so mainstream, instead come to this place :| #amazingView
Cocktails are not even remotely worth getting here. I'd rather spend money on a flask and drink with a homeless person

Jaycob BurnsAugust 7, 2014I 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
Mark GraciaJanuary 19, 2016Do 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.- Joonbug.comOctober 9, 2012The Monster Bash at The Empire Hotel Attic on Saturday, October 27th, 2012 from 9PM - 4AM.

Village VoiceNovember 8, 2010The Village Voice voted this Best Post-Opera Bar in our Best Of New York Poll!
Jay FieldsAugust 30, 2010Good 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.
Julie RussellMay 22, 2010Nice bar but male bartender was a bit of a prick during Fri happy hr. Other than that like this place a lot...nice atmosphere and view!
Rebecca MazzaJuly 22, 2011Expensive drinks but they are strong so its worth it. Really fun place to go!
- Joonbug.comJune 23, 2010Don't miss out on the hottest Saturday night rooftop party, this Saturday and every Saturday. 9pm-4am
Saturdays Are The Best Here- Joonbug.comAugust 31, 2010Cocktails on the rooftop every Thursday! Come for $6 Well Drinks and $5-$6 Beers!
The Corcoran GroupMarch 12, 2012This spacious rooftop bar has great views but the outrageously expensive drinks, ambivalent servers, rude bouncers and extremely loud music totally turned us off.
Bouncers werre rude to my friend. Ye like I'm really gonna go in n leave my friend outside. Dickk. Lol
