The daily pool pass ($55 weekend, $45 weekday) says 12-4PM but is actually good for all day. Opt for a bottle of rosè and the mezze platter and enjoy the sunshine.
Date Night Is...April 30, 2013For the ultimate see-and-be-seen Date Night spot, make a reservation out back and lounge by their roomy saltwater pool with a cocktail. (TIP: you don't have to be a hotel guest to reserve pool spots)
Sean StenstromMarch 8, 2020Rooftop bar - You'll find year-round sprawling views of Manhattan and McCarren Park at this rooftop, with cocktails highlighting local craft distillers. Rotation of live performances and DJ sets
HolidayMay 16, 2017Quiet rooms, high end fixtures, beds are on the soft side but good free coffee in lobby made up for it. City courts across the street, so if you play bring your rackets. Great leafy location.
Josh MateoSeptember 27, 2015Amazing fun at the pool, hefty cover charge, but food and drink are super good and reasonable! Snag the large cabana if you get there early.
The lamb ribs shown here, soft shell crab sliders and pulled pork dumplings are all insanely top notch. Ask for the special spicey sauce.
Andreas HunzikerJuly 7, 2015Pool: Very unpleasant experience on the weekend as too many people are let in. Literally every square inch is occupied leaving many visitors on the ground or sitting on a regular chair. $75 (Sat)- @thirstyJuly 11, 2016Views of the Manhattan skyline and poolside cocktails? McCarren Hotel & Pool has both! This well-loved Brooklyn spot has a chilled-out vibe and is the perfect place for relaxing on a hot summer day.
- Steven JohansenFebruary 3, 2015Nice room, cool roof deck bar, definitely go for Happy Hour if your staying at the hotel. The desk will give you free drink coupons.
Justin BretonJune 20, 2014The cocktail menu at the pool is really disappointing. Options are beer or wine with an added ingredient(s) for more than $60. Service is blah. It's a salt water pool in NYC, though. #nycadventures
So' KAugust 28, 2015A little swim and sunbath session 11:00-14:45 before heading to late lunch during the week while on vacation. Perfect! Would have liked to take in my phone though.
Great, friendly staff! Martin makes you really feel welcome. Great location,nice clean rooms and free continental breakfast.
MIWA YANGOctober 3, 2015nice hotel with good service. too bad didnt have time to enjoy the pool. Clean Lovely room.
Landmarks Preservation CommissionAugust 23, 2013The last of the 11 pools financed by the WPA for the summer of 1936, this play center is one of the city’s largest and most impressive pool complexes. Constructed in 1935 it was Designated in 2007.
during night owl, be prepared to wait to get in. they have to make sure all the families are out before the lap swimmers can enter
Luis ChuloJuly 27, 20121) bring a lock. Each of ur guest have to have a lock. Just say ur family. But lady have to have a separate lock. 2) Make sure wear proper swimsuit. Basket shorts are Not swim wear.
Sacha SJuly 5, 2017You can use the pool all day for something like 40$. The rooftop is so nice for cocktails.
Samantha GerstenAugust 20, 2015Don't be fooled by the $45 day pass! You are only allowed to sit in the bleachers like second class citizens. A day bed aka a chair is over $200.
Edomia zaide BereheOctober 13, 2017Awesome view of NYC, not to big which I prefer. Has a more intimate feel
ᴡ ReinfordApril 6, 2013come here in the summer on weekdays in the morning if you can. gets very... teen in the afternoon and on weekends.
Maria VazquezAugust 19, 2016Didn't use the pool, will have to go back and try it. The appetizers and drinks were good. The mosquitos, probably because of the pool, NOT!- bethanneAugust 30, 2013Bring nothing but your swimsuit and a towel with a padlock. The employees are super angry despite it being a beautiful pool...
- Great pool area and rooftop is nice. The bar food is embarrassingly bad though. Way below the standard in the area.
Lane lines are up during the Early Bird and Night Owl Lap Swims. You aren't allowed in unless you bring a lock.- An amazing fitness center in the basement - bikes, rower, dumbbells, ellipticals, treadmills, etc.
AmateurConciergeJune 3, 2013I meaaaan, it's priced like a Manhattan hotspot but amenities are lacking, lobby is minimalist, wifi spotty and AC frowned upon. Pros: pool scene, location
Dominic CampbellMay 3, 2014Delusions of grandeur. Costs more than it's worth then lacks generosity at every turn, charging the earth for every little thing. Bad value for money...
Rosana HarmsSeptember 13, 2013DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS YOU ENJOY LOUD MUSIC UNTIL MIDNIGHT stayed here because I had meeting 8am It's is 11:41 and bed shaking from the loud music coming from upstairs bar. Have called front desk 3x

Rachel TipographJune 30, 2012Lifeguards get a lunch break from 3-4p which means you cannot swim at that time.
