Dan SohaydaDecember 2, 2017Take the elevators to your left as you walk in. Somebody at the desk will point you in the right direction if you miss it. Expensive drinks but a great view on a nice clear day.
Elvis RodricksDecember 25, 2017Came here Christmas eve night. Enjoyed their sleigh chocolate drink, cauliflower croquets and sliders. Wasn't impressed with their Christmas decor as heavily publicized.
Time Out New YorkMay 6, 2015The swanky, nautically inflected lounge atop the 29-story Viceroy features a 1,200-square-foot terrace with postcardworthy vistas of midtown and Central Park.
Abbie WMarch 10, 2014UD: If Jordan Belfort’s yacht had run aground 26 floors above Manhattan, it’d look a little something like this: a wooded belowdecks vibe and epic views of Central Park.
CJ GartlandSeptember 23, 2016Cocktails were $18, but expertly made, so they are worth it. It's a small place, so get there early. They also take reservations.
Amazing views and amazing drinks! Best midtown bar if your wallet can handle it. Great for dates and after work drinks
Gajtana SimonovskaAugust 8, 2016Small outdoor space but gorgeous views. They start enforcing their reserved signs after 10 on a Saturday for that club feel. Pricey, but good wine selection. $14 for a less expensive choice (Malbec)
Alexandra MaesenMarch 12, 2015What a view! 😍 What a price list! 😖 You pay for the scenery, but definitely a hot spot during spring & summer nights.
Isaac RadnitzerJuly 26, 2015Great view, and it's a bit hidden and hard to get to which keeps the crowds down. Cocktails are pretty pricey at $18
Malek AlmutairiNovember 19, 2016Nice fairly quiet rooftop bar. A small glimpse of the length of Central Park from here. Good cocktail selection.
Annie MorganOctober 30, 2014Surprisingly unpretentious for the neighborhood (Tao and lavo are close by😒) great views and cocktails are killer.
Rachael SavageOctober 26, 2014Have to do this at least once; get there early to beat the crowd! The grapefruit cocktail was refreshing.
Bulat FarrakhovJuly 4, 2018Good view on Central Park. 15-20 per drink. Not much space. Good for a brunch🙃
Yann MarteauJune 22, 2014Try the deep fried artichokes, and if you want to enjoy the place quietly go there on Sunday night, only a few regulars :)
Tom DiMaggioMarch 2, 2018Nice view of central park during daylight hours, cocktails are made very well, but very pricey.
- Lee SimpsonOctober 2, 2016Cocktails here aren't brilliant, but it's comfortable and the view is amazing.
Cris LauerJanuary 16, 2016Jalapeño margarita was honestly well mixed with a genuinely fresh slice of pepper 👍🏾
Shambry McGeeApril 25, 2015Well made drinks, interesting crowd. Makes for a nice view in the summer.
Tracy HixonApril 15, 2016Nice place to meet friends for early drinks, it was too cold and rainy for the rooftop deck.
Kevin SmoklerOctober 11, 2015View is beautiful. Attitude of staff is hotel-bar-that-thinks-it's-doing-something-special. It is not. You've been warned.
Tobi SoundsoSeptember 23, 2015People seemed very pretentious here. (Also, I've paid $20 for a mediocre Moscow Mule that wasn't even in a copper mug. I get that you pay for the view, but still disappointing...)
Nikki ErskineMarch 11, 2014Gorgeous view to the north, including Central Park. Grab a drink downstairs if there's a wait, and bring out-of-towners you want to impress.
