    So sorry not recommend this place. It's more trendy than anything else. I don't like going to a bar and receiving a nice drink in a plastic cup old-fashioned were not made properly they gave me cubes of ice instead of a solid piece of ice I don't recommend this place at all

    Beautiful views in NY! Fairly close to time square if you are in the area! The drinks are pretty good 8/10. It was empty so we had our pick on where to sit with the best view! Must try!

    My friends and I met here for after work drinks. We got there around 5pm (no pun intended) so it wasn't crowded but as time went on they got busy. First thing of course if the beautiful view and I wish it was warmer that day so we could have sat outside but it was still a great view from inside. For appetizers we ordered the Wagyu sliders, truffle fries and the tuna tacos. The food was great and the drinks did not disappoint but I have to admit, the prices are a bit on the high side. The staff is great and accommodating and the atmosphere is upbeat. Overall, we had a great time. I hope you visit and enjoy!

    I tried this place for the first time. It's definitely a vibe. Wide spectrum of ages. All races. All cultures. Great music. Amazing view. Bartender - Hakim- Omg, so nice. And fun. He mixes drinks and dances and songs along to what's playing. Super fun. Place serves good. But by the time we got there. Around 1 am. It wasn't available anymore. It's inside a hotel Margaritaville. It has its own entrance. Just take elevator to the 31st floor. Not 32nd. Which is last floor. You would think it's roof top. But. No. 31st. Enjoy. It's def a nice spot to visit if in nyc and out late night. Enjoy.

    This is great and very underrated rooftop bar here in Manhattan! This is a newer bar so it's not as crowded and reservations aren't required! The views are amazing and they have a DJ who plays pretty good music! The drinks are on the pricier side ranging from around $17+ but it's pretty expectable for Times Square. The service was great both times I went and everyone is kind! My boyfriend and I spent around $70 for 3 drinks and fries. Definitely check out this rooftop bar if you're looking for a nice view and good time!

    This place is an underrated midtown spot! I came here with coworkers for after work drinks and, despite the downstairs bar being packed, the rooftop was practically empty. Though I do not drink, they have a pretty interesting cocktail menu that is more than just margaritas. They are pricey, but not out of the range of what you would expect to pay for drinks at a touristy hotel in midtown. The views were also amazing! If you are just visiting Manhattan, it's worth stopping by for a drink just to take in the sunset views while it is still warm outside. I will probably not be back but would definitely recommend!

    Food and Views are off the hook. Would never have thought something like this existed in the middle of Times Square. You need to enter at Jimmy Buffet's Margueritaville entrance and take the elevator up to the 31st floor. Jesse was so nice and fun and the Bartender's were great too !!! Korean Meatballs and Yucca Fries were Holy $hit good !!!

    Drinks !!

    It was sooo fun and what a great rooftop experience! Went there after eating at Landshark and took a lot of beautiful pictures! There was also a live performer singing and playing his instrument and then after his set there was a dj playing music for the peoples entertainment. It was a good vibe and good experience!

Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

They're experimental, whimsical, delicious, and worth every penny. My absolute favorite is Child of Light, and my BF's was High Frequency Device. The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too. Wonderful people and wonderful service. Needless to say, we will be back as frequently as we can!

It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

It somehow manages to feel both refined and relaxed at the same time. The kind of place where you half expect to spot Hemingway in the corner pretending not to eavesdrop. We started with half a dozen oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want with serious cocktails. Crisp, clean, gone in about three minutes. For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.

We walked in without a reservation around 6:20 p.m., and they were able to accommodate us at a shared table until 7:15. The menu surprised me a bit. Since I associated the address with Eleven Madison Park, I wasn't expecting to see items like wings stuffed with sausage, which were done in partnership with Jungsik. We ordered those along with the mushroom burger and asked them to cut the burger in half for us. The cocktail menu was creative and a little intimidating, with unconventional ingredients like cream cheese and green curry. I went with a fruity Hendrick's-based drink, and my friend ordered the spicy green curry martini. Both were good. Mine didn't taste very strong, but it also wasn't overly sweet because there was enough bitterness to balance it out. The green curry martini was more adventurous but still worked. Service was mixed. There was a woman standing near us, so we tried ordering food with her, but she seemed hesitant to come over. Maybe she wasn't a server or was newer. For drinks, she brought over someone more seasoned, who quickly helped guide us based on our preferred taste profiles. Her suggestions were very good. The mushroom burger was the highlight for me. It was a little salty, but the crispy mushroom and soft bun were a great combination. I honestly wished I had more than half. The wings were okay. They were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but coated in a Dorito-like powder that made them very messy. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back, especially for the mushroom burger.
