Great view and nice patio area. Terrible service. Got one round of drinks and saw no one ever again. Asked for my bill and they asked me what we drank and it took her way too long to print out a receipt. She was on her cell phone when I walked up and apparently she was irritated that I interrupted her and she could have cared less that she was working and we were customers. Go for the view but don't expect service any better than a mcdonalds. read more

This rooftop has one of the best views of Empire State Building! It's very a nice spot for summer nights out. Drinks are good but pricey. Service was pleasant. I would recommend making a reservation if you want to get a table. It's definitely worth coming for the view. read more

There's so many better options in the city, skip this one. Service is slow, unfriendly, and the staff didn't seem to know anything. They were out of most of the things we tried to order, and kept running back and forth to tell us. The drinks were forgettable and extremely watered down by the time they hit the table. I'm happy to pay rooftop prices when I receive the service and quality of product that comes along with it, but this place really misses the mark. read more

1 star - Racially profiled, disrespected, and stunned by how bad it was. As a Midtown local who loves supporting neighborhood spots, I was absolutely stunned by the experience my wife and I had at Art Nomad on 7/11. I don't typically leave reviews, but this was too shocking to stay quiet about. We had a 10:05 PM reservation and weren't even acknowledged until 10:35. Our server, Kyonne, literally brought out cake for another guest - and a slice for herself - and stood eating it with the guest sitting next to us, before ever offering us water or saying a word to us. When she finally came over, she was unbelievably rude and dismissive, then claimed the restaurant was out of every item we tried to order (multiple drinks and apps). We stayed calm and in good spirits, even when she gave my wife major attitude. I politely asked, "Hey, did we get off on the wrong foot? Or did I miss something?" and her response escalated shockingly fast - she got in our faces and, when I asked if she always treats guests like this, she said: "people like you." She also became extremely hostile to my wife (who was sitting in silence as I spoke). The only reason I'm not giving zero stars is because of David Lee, who took some accountability, comped our drinks, and personally made sure we got a drink on the house (50 min later after arguably the most horrendous service). He knows this staff member (Kyonne) has been a problem, and I respect how he handled it. That said, I'll never return to Art Nomad. Service like this - hostile, unprofessional, and discriminatory - has no place in NYC hospitality. read more

I'm a tourist so I'm not sure if this was normal, but my wife and I were able to walk up at 430 pm on a Saturday and get a table on Memorial Day weekend no problem. Servers were at tentative, laid back and not pushy at all. It was a beautiful evening, and we had a great time. We had the frozen ghost tequila drink and, if you like a little kick, you might like it too. You can also step out onto a see through platform which is a little scary! read more

You usually need a reservation well in advance to get a seat at the Roof Top bar, but our party lucked out and was able to be seated after waiting for less than 5 minutes. The views were beautiful; you get a great view of the Empire State Building with a see through floor. There was a good amount of seats and there was a very chill vibe and nice ambience overall. Drinks were the standard NY prices; I had an All Night Long Cocktail and split a Frozen of the Day (Which was Watermelon flavored when we went) and a Montauk Wavechaser IPA. The staff was also attentive with taking orders and re-filling water. Would definitely recommend this roof top for a nice date or a night out with friends! read more

One of the coolest, more underrated rooftops in NYC. I especially love it cause you get a great view of the Empire State Building and sunsets here are absolutely beautiful. I do wish their menu had more options. There weren't many beer or wine options and very little quality food items on the menu. Service was great and the vibes are immaculate . read more

We were turned away from another bar and stumbled on this semi hidden gem! My family was visiting from England and one of their bucket list was to go to a rooftop bar since they don't have many there. Drinks are expensive and food is not great but it's what you expect going anywhere in New York with any sort of ambience We experienced more of the bar area where you were served in a decent amount of time with the number of people ordering from the same bartender. Minus one star for the quality of drinks and food, needing to be elevated for the price and the overall crowdedness But would eec read more

Just to let you know you are basically paying for the view. The food is most definitely basic and the drinks were watered down. I'm honestly super lightweight and the drink couldn't even make me buzzed. I think I got Stairway to Heaven ($18)? I remember that not all the drinks were available from the online menu. The view is super good because it's that mystical NYC skyline. read more

Belated 2019 review. I know, I know, why even bother? Here's why. This is the best rooftop in K-Town. It has the best views, it has the highest vantage point, and while the drinks are the typical overpriced rooftop sugariness, the fun glass floor where you can see straight down to the bottom kind of makes up for it. read more

Wow! One of the Best rooftops I've been to in all of nyc. It was small, but the views...breath taking! You're literally staring up right at the Empire State Building. We had a happy hour here to celebrate one of my friends birthdays. The bartender was amazing! He gave the birthday girl a couple of free shots and was so sweet. Took pictures of us. We loved him! The only negative experience here was the elevator on the way up and down, it's so crowded. It took us at least 20 mins to get up and down. Yikes! Pros: drinks, service, & views Cons: elevator to rooftop read more

Girls just wanna have fun! Come for the views, stay for the drinks. This spacious (not really, but you're not on top of other guests) rooftop is perfect for an after work happy hour or cute date night. I opted for their fruity cocktail, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and proseccoo. Both delicious! People watching was also a nice touch read more

Great views, great cocktails, VERY little shade. You are either right in the middle of the beating sun or at one of the tables on the side of the building fully covered. Either way, in the right weather (and with the right sunscreen) this place is a great option for rooftop drinks in NYC. Reservations are highly recommended. Check in with the hostess downstairs who will lead you to the elevator. read more

We came on a summer weeknight and it was the perfect temperature. Zero wait to get up. The coolest part of this rooftop is that there is a see through floor where you can get serious vertigo. Honestly didn't expect it and added to the novelty. The view of Empire State building and the surrounding area was unobstructed. $18 cocktails. Great summer vibes with the lights. read more

Great rooftop and fantastic service from the bartender. Went here with a friend on a Saturday night at 9pm, and the plaCe wasn't too packed. Some spectacular views of midtown area, although it is somewhat restricted view wise since there are quite a few really tall buildings in it's vicinity that obstructed it's view. You do have a good vantage point of the empire State. Cocktails are the same price, and we got an old fashioned with makers mark and she got a moscow mule. Total bill came about $39 tax and tip inclusive. Pretty standard prices you would get for a rooftop around the area. Great crowd and ambiance, and it isn't too loud here so you can carry a decent conversation here. Drinks were made really well, I got a old fashioned with makers mark and that didn't fail to impress. Would be back here to impress more people! read more

Made a reservation for a Friday night. Thankfully, we were blessed with nice weather and a clear night. The views were nice, you could see the Empire State Building quite closely. I also enjoyed the ambiance of the roof with nice string lights. It was also not too loud so it was good for having nice conversations with friends. We each had the frozen of the day which was a blend of watermelon, sake, and vodka. It was quite strong. Also, the website said there is a 2 drink minimum per person, but this was not enforced at all. My friends and I were also able to stay and chill on the roof until past midnight (when they close) which was nice. The only downside was that the cocktails were quite expensive ($18 each), which is to be expected given the views, but it was a bit jarring since we ended up paying double for drinks than we did for dinner that night. read more

If you make a reservation, note that there's a reservation cancellation fee. This is a rooftop in Soho so it has nice views of Jersey and kind of the Empire State Building. To get there, you have the enter the hotel it's a part of and take the elevator up. Elevator is on the right side when you enter the door. There are two or three unisex bathrooms which are quite large outside the bar. To order, you have to scan the QR code and enter your table number. From there, you just buy and checkout whatever drink you want. They say they have a two drink minimum, but they don't enforce it. Each drink is around $20. Soho Frose - kind of like a slushie and has a light wine taste. Comes directly from the machine you see at the bar so it's pretty quick to get. I tried my friends cocktails as well and they were pretty good. Nothing spectacular though. Drinks come out about one at a time and took pretty long. read more

I was taking a study break at the NYPL at Bryant Park and ended up walking around nearby the Arlo. I had heard about Chef Talde's ice cream pop-up and decided to treat myself when a stranger at the lobby told me about the rooftop bar above us. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful and directed me to take the stairs to the second floor, where someone else would access an elevator for me. The Heights is not the biggest rooftop bar around, but because I came early afternoon on a Friday, there was still plenty of seating available. There's a small section where the floor is made of glass, but I would have been more impressed if the entire floor was transparent instead. I didn't order the frose because I had a huge bowl of shaved ice from downstairs, but I'd definitely come back to try it! read more

Unreal experience here. We tried to go to the midtown location, and called and DMed them multiple times before to confirm we could walk in. We get there, and it's closed for a private party. Then, we go to this location in NoMad and see that there's open reservation for every hour so don't think we need one. We get to the hostess and she says there's no reservations and we show her resy and she says oh we forgot to block it off let me put your name on the wait list. We spent 15 minutes standing there trying to find another restaurant to go to, we finally leave and make it 2 blocks and I get a text from resy that our table is ready. We get there and I say I got a text our table is ready the same hostess goes "really?" Then tries to tell me that it wasn't them who texted me. That I faked the text from RESY that I have thousands of texts from. I get another text that we have 15 minutes to get the table, even though I was accused of faking the text. I'm almost 30 and have ate at the top restaurants in NYC, this establishment is a joke. The hostess made it harder to go here than carbone and then was extremely rude. The drinks were watered down and the food was bad. read more

My husband and I went here one evening recently hoping to have a nice time. However, the rooftop view was not exceptional, but it was pleasant and the limited light fare was so incredibly cheap in presentation and bland in flavor. Never one to judge a book by it cover, we tried the appetizer. My drink was tasty, however it was $20 dollars for a cocktail. My husband had beer in a can that felt like it was bought in bulk at Costco. Which would be fine if the overall experience and flavors were up to par. Our chips arrived in a greasy brown paper bag stapled shut. The dip was served in a plastic container like you would buy from the supermarket...or Walmart. The chips were the hardest rocks I could ever imagine eating. We closed out our bill to the tune of $60 dollars and left within 15 minutes of arriving. We then proceeded to another rooftop bar that had an amazing direct view of the Empire State Building, amazing drinks, and delicious appetizers... for less money mind you. 230 rooftop bar was packed and lively. This Art Nomad was not. I can see why. Food trucks along the way had better presence and better taste. Check out the pictures. I really can't articulate how mid this experience was. Literally what you see in these photos is what we paid $60 dollars for. There was a $9 service charge for I don't even know what! I didn't have any kind of service worth charging an additional fee that's for damn sure. The 230 rooftop bar with the direct view of the Empire State Building didn't even have a random service charge! No other restaurant we went to had this. I should have asked for a complete refund immediately but we just wanted to escape the disappointment as soon as humanly possible (*sidenote* We were on vacation and expected to spend a good amount of money. We enjoy great food, drinks, experiences, and service, and will tip and review accordingly. As former service industry employees, we make sure we take care of those who take care of us in regards to any endeavor or situation that requires tipping) read more

I went here for pre-dinner drinks with my husband on a Saturday in August around 6:30pm. We were able to get a table and the view is amazing! You are almost right next to the Empire State Building and under our table was plexi glass so you could see down to the street which was 31 floors below. We had a "girls just wanna have fun" cocktail which was like aloe and mint and cucumber and then a watermelon cocktail that I think was called "it must be summer time" or something like that. Both drinks were very good. They were very small though and $21 each. They also charge a 20% service fee and tax so our bill for 3 total drinks was $82. I think you're paying for the view :) read more

Came her for the first time and found the staff to be super friendly. I had to call several times because we made a reservation but due to traffic we would be late. I felt so bad but thankfully we made by the last reservation time and one of the workers actually thanked us for calling to let them know. View was nice and the vibe was very chill. Would come here for the great views! Drinks were pricey but yummy read more

I have been here twice. The Good: This place is so chill, I just love it. Not pretentious like other rooftops. The drinks are awesome and they give you free snacks The music is also good and of course, the see-through floor! The bad: None Final Verdict: One of my favorite rooftops, will keep coming! read more

Really cool rooftop bar. Go up the stairs to the 2nd floor and check in with the person near the elevators. He will check your ID. The wait for the elevator took quite a while since it's shared with hotel guests and such. Nonetheless, once you're at the top on the 31st floor, there's a bar there. Great views. Perfect place to watch the sunset. Also a glass platform that looks straight down. Great selection of craft cocktails. Great music. Empties out after sunset. Still a place to hangout for a drink or two. read more

Friend made reservations for his birthday here. When you walk into the hotel lobby there's someone by the sweets case to the left to check you in and let you up. They don't let too many people up at a time so it's nice, spacious and quiet here. Really limited and overpriced 'food' menu that's really just dips/snacks. We were able to stay a bit past our reserved time as they asked tables to leave only when new groups arrived. Nice, chill atmosphere with attentive servers. If you're looking for something more lowkey where you can actually talk and hangout this is a great spot. read more

As everyone mentions, the view of the Empire State Building is beautiful at night. There is also a glass floor where you can see below, but the view isn't that great; you literally just see a street with cars parked below. Drinks are pretty good... the frose was actually really good, I was surprised. The elevators to the hotel are pretty neat too. It's a touch screen and you select where you're going and it takes you there, no pushing buttons once you're inside the elevator at all, so I guess it's sanitary? The lounge area on the 2nd floor is nice and a chill spot to hang out and drink or watch TV. read more

3.5 stars A very unique rooftop bar experience! This is the only rooftop in NYC I know of that has a section with a glass bottom. I only wish the scene down below was more than an empty lot, a street, and trash cans. BUT I think it looks better at night with all the lights, and then you can ignore the trash. The rooftop area is quite small, but there are bar tables and some couch areas. Seating is usually reserved though. Be careful on hot summer days though because there aren't really any areas of shade. The view is amazing!! AWESOME view of the empire state building. Drink prices are your normal NYC rooftop bar prices, aka $14 for a small cup of frose. But that's expected! The only food options are chips and salsa or guac. It's a great place to take visitors, but just be prepared to wait in line during peak hours read more

You better believe I was up there photoshooting the crap out of my frosé. Given the setting, it just seemed like the thing to do, I guess. I was staying at Arlo and didn't realize they had such a sweet rooftop setup until right before checking in. The last time I stayed there, it was November so rooftop drinking was a no-go. There's plenty of space, comfy seating, and a nice little cocktail menu. I started with the frosé - mostly out of curiosity because I keep stumbling across it at different venues - although frozen drinks aren't really my thing. Given that it was humid as hell, this was delightfully refreshing and a wonderful choice. Next up, I had the pineapple mule which was alright, despite not having much pineapple flavor. So happy to know this is here for the next time I stay at Arlo! read more

What better way to relax than a glass of wine or smooth cocktail while staring at the beautiful city that causes you severe anxiety from day to day. Joking!

If you're over the beautiful views and frosé, or want more intimacy, check out the bar on the second floor right above the lobby. There is privacy and plenty of seating here. Hungry? Check out the food menu for the second floor or try something quicker from the first floor 'Bodega'. read more

Casual roof top bar/lounge with a relaxed atmosphere and humble crowd. Nobody was outlandish and everybody was respectful of each other. Seating was quite limited yet nobody was hogging space and people created space for other patrons who wanted to sit. I hope this type of crowd sticks around. The views are quite nice. You can see the empire state building from the northwest corner of the patio and you can see brooklyn and queens from the southeast corner. The seating is comfortable and the drinks are reasonably priced compared to other rooftop bars in Manhattan. I had a beer for $8. I'm looking forward to returning. It seemed like the Arlo Hotel was a fun place to hang out in general. read more
