    Great drink deals like beer + a shot for $12/11, good atmosphere, and solid dj. Worth checking out.

    Amazing views, strict with the door to get outside on the roof which is really annoying and not fun

    Great views on the pool side, but not so much from the terrace on the opposite end (explains the abundance of empty seats there).

    Panoramic 360 views of New York. Nice people around. Skip the watery overpriced cocktails and get another drink/beer instead

    A place where one finds themselves perpetually in line for something - although you can avoid the bathroom line by using the lobby ones just a floor below.

    Line isn't worth it! Come during the day, more chill and relaxed. Underwhelming view, pretentious vibe!

    Feels like the west side, partly good more bad, and mainly just out of place in LES. Great view though.

    Amazing views! But! Although they were good, cocktail drinks are way overpriced. Two drinks almost cost $40

    Nice view and bartenders BUT expensive and awful drinks. Don’t ever ask for the Grapefruit Citrus. Horrible. Taste like poor industrialized juice. Stick with the wine and you’ll probably be fine.
