Service was horrible. They age profile. If there are more than 4 in your group they expect you to pay bottle service fees. Crowd was on the older side. Groups in their 20-30's be aware they will push you away. Overpriced. Not allowed on the patio / balcony read more

I was met with warm hospitality coming off the elevator. My server was sweet and knowledgeable. I ordered the Miso Ginger Wings and the Butternut Squash, Goat Cheese Flatbread (a little heavy on the Goat Cheese, but that's why I ordered.. to each his own, I really like Goat Cheese) Had a SkY Car Cocktail. All was delish. Just to note they are more of a Small plates/tapas lounge with a great variety of delish cocktails. The ambience and view being on the 54th adds a sexy vibe. read more

Didn't come here for food but came by late an night for a night cap so we had around a 10PM reservation. It's one of the highest rooftops in the city (if not the highest) so it's a popular spot. Be sure to reserve in advance so you can ensure you can watch the view for sunset or to enjoy the lights from Times Square. We came a little bit before our reservation and were able to be seated already. The tables near the window were full but we got a good spot in the back near the deck door so we could see the lights but had access to view the outside. It gets chilly that high up so just bring a light sweater but it's a nice view to check out. Drinks here are priced for the view so ~$20 but they were solid cocktails. read more

We had a really nice time here! Firstly, make sure you make a reservation, it's really easy to go onto their website and go to reservation prompt and they have a list by the half hour. The security guys are a little intimidating but just show them your reservation. Once you're there the service was really great, attentive and nice. For drink, I had the S'more cocktail it was great. The views are unreal!! It was drizzling but that didn't stop us from taking a look down below at Times Square. It was definitely a memory I'll never forget. Worth the trip up. read more

Low key uncrowded (secluded) rooftop spot that is a great hidden gem. Part of the Hyatt. Food and drinks are eh but let's be honest, who goes to a rooftop for anything other than the view? Shrug. You'll get some nice photos on the outdoor terrace. The seating is indoors. Waitress was a bit aggressive hounding us to order more drinks or kicking us out. But it's ok. Net net still a great deal for avoiding annoying crowds. read more

Really nice place! It's inside the Hyatt of Times Square. We didn't have reservations but they let us in for the bar which we were grateful. it took about 30 min to get drinks--the bar was slammed, he was making drinks for the dine in guests as well. Other than that, the rooftop view of the city was great. The chairs outside had no padding so it wasn't too comfy to sit. They add an automatic tip to the drinks. A glass of wine was $22, which is a bit pricey in my opinion. The food looked yummy though, I wish we could've eaten there! read more

Oh what a night! If you're looking for a nice place to go for great drinks, great atmosphere AND great views of NYC, look no further! Make a reservation (we made ours while walking there last night) and head on up to the 54th floor of the Hyatt Times Square. Intimate feel, great drinks, small plates and attentive service...you just can't go wrong. read more

Some of the photos that I originally tried to post did not attach. I wanted to add these photos of the drinks I tried. Once again, I loved this bar. The drinks were probably the best drinks I have ever tasted. The Peals in Paradise hands down was my go to while there. I love exotic flavors like lychee. read more

Great spot to go to anytime. Enjoyed my stay at the Hyatt and this is a plus! The staff is funny and so professional !

Great views of Times Square, but drinks are expensive and the paloma I got was too sweet. We had a time reserved, but we still had to wait a bit for our seats to be ready. It was a bit chilly outdoors, so when they eventually seated us on the rooftop deck (right across from another couple, which was a tad awkward), I immediately rushed back inside and asked to be re-seated indoors. They were happy to rearrange our seating for us, which I appreciated. read more

Terrible service, 2 drink minimum. Would not provide water to our active military friend without ordering alcoholic beverage. Would not recommend. I would rather go to 230 fifth rooftop bar instead. As a Hyatt member we usually stay at Hyatt Centric Times Square every year or so and usually go to the rooftop bar since it is easy access from the room. Awfully bad, terrible service. Especially if you are active military, THEY PROVIDE NO WATER TO MILITARY. We went on a Friday night around 10pm and were sat down at a table. Server comes to take our order, 4 of us order a drink and our active military friend asked if they had Heineken 0 (alcohol free) server was rude and said no that only what is on the menu. We asked if they had any alcohol free drinks for our active military buddy and server was no help. He said 1 drink minimum. So we order a water, he said no, 1 drink minimum. The next person in our group was still looking at the menu and was not ready and said he needed more time to look at the menu. Server said, he could not order our drinks since every person needs to get 1 item. As Hyatt guests we have access to the deck. View is just okay, not amazing. We ended up going to 230 Fifth Rooftop bar for $20 per person which included a free drink ticket and the views were amazing. The service at 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar was better and better drinks. Hyatt Centric Times Square is no longer a go for our trips, will look for other places. We spoke to manager there and they did nothing, manager insisted that it was a two drink minimum per person. GM, please explain where does it say 2 drink minimum to receive service. Bringing this up to Hyatt Headquarters. read more

Views, views, views! Wanted to find a rooftop bar to catch the sunset - didn't realize this was NYC's tallest hotel rooftop bar, and it didn't disappoint. There was a prolonged wait in the lobby to get upstairs despite having reservations, but everything went very smooth after that. We got drinks by the bar while waiting for a table on the outdoors terrace. They have an extensive drink menu with a whole wall of top shelf whiskey selection. Our bartender Jacques was friendly while serving up refreshing summer cocktails. I stuck with Kiss the Sky, a delicious watermelon vodka drink that was light and flirty and perfect for spending an evening out. There's many tables and lounge sofas for bigger parties on the spacious roof. The 180° vista views are incredible, seeing far and wide across all of Manhattan. New York boasts many rooftop bars that dot its skyline, this one is definitely worth checking out. read more

We had a reservation for dinner at 7:30 pm on the outdoor rooftop area and they kindly took us about 20 minutes early. It was pretty packed with what looked like people networking and/or coming out of work. Unfortunately, we got the worlds tiniest table and we ordered two beverages and food items. It was a tight squeeze but such is the life in the big city. The table was way too small for the food and the food was okay but not what we were expecting. The flatbread got cold really fast and the hummus came with a crispy thing that was not a pita nor a pita chip. I didn't have any huge ideas for what to expect in terms of view but we were underwhelmed because all we could see a is a little part of the Hudson and a small window of a view down to time square. I wasn't particularly excited about the wait staff, he was nice enough but he was strange and he kept spacing out and staring at the sky while we were patiently waiting for our bill. We also noticed that it was quite small and the outdoor space did not go around the building so there wasn't much to see. The drinks glasses were super sticky and left me feeling like I needed to wash my hands every few minutes. We only had two drinks and two appetizer dishes and our bill was $140 dollars, which in my opinion is unnecessarily high for what we ordered. Overall, I don't see us returning any time soon but thanks for the experience. It definitely gave us something to talk about on our way back to our hotel. read more

Customer service is terrible. Was given a lot of attitude for splitting a check and it's not necessary.

Went here on a Sunday night and was sat fairly quickly with no reservations. The customer service was iffy I personally did not feel welcomed the whole time. The server asked my partner if he wanted to wait for me to decide on a drink after I said wanted water and he asked for a Manhattan. Which I thought was weird since he put his drink order in. Why put him on the spot and ask if he wants to wait for me? Anyways, the drinks and the ambiance are super chill. That's why I would come back if I was visiting the city again. The food is a little pricey 24 dollars for only 3 beef sliders is a high but what can you expect for the location. The view is beautiful outside at night and is worth experiencing at least once! read more

One of the coolest rooftop bars in the area! We were nearby our hotel The Roosevelt and walked over. We took the elevator straight upstairs and since it wasn't busy we ordered drinks at the bar and walked outside to the patio and sat on the sofas. The view is spectacular, unlike anywhere else that has a skyline that can reach the sky. Drinks can be expensive so it's not a place you want to stay all night unless you have an expense account. But, it's a great place to start or end the night! Located atop of the Hyatt Times Sq near 45th & 7th Ave it's not hard to find. Since coming back to LA, I've told several friends visiting to check it out and they thanked me for the recommendation! Big Fan. read more

I called to make a reservation. The lady on the phone told us it was not necessary ON A SATUERDAY NIGHT. We hopped into an UBER to go there (money wasted) just for the security to tell me "it was full" there and did not let us in. The owner of the business has to get their employees together so they don't waste people's precious' time anf waste taxi money. The owner SHOULD NOT let their employees suggest the potential customers go to waste. That was disrespectful considering how far we had to travel from. read more

Last night, I took my friend to Bar54 to celebrate her wedding. I was disappointed with the seating, the wait staff, and shocked that they added auto gratuity for a tab of only two. As someone who has been in the service industry for over 10 years, I have never seen this except for larger parties, not two people. This left a bad taste in my mouth especially as our waiter was not attentive. I would not recommend this bar. read more

Talk about a romance with a view !! I mean this made date night reach a whole new level! I knew I wanted to go to a skytop bar and not many have this amazing view. Firstly, you must make reservations through Resy (even if it's just for the drinks) and you get a text telling you to come up to the 54th floor of the Hyatt hotel building- my ears were popping lol!! But it's a fast smooth ride up. You're greeted by very welcoming staff who check you in and ask for your IDs. The drink menu is pricey not going to lie here. I paid $21 for my martini and my boyfriends beer was $12. The tip is also Included around 18%. I know my drink was expensive but dang it was good (I made it last sipping on it for an hour lol). The tables weren't out yet (April is when I went) but the weather was beautiful at 50 degrees so we had to step out onto the skytop to catch the view. I mean I was taken back. This literally is such an amazing experience- but careful when you look down hahah. The pictures we got were fantastic and it was so romantic!! I wish it had some better music vibes but the classical feel was okay at least it wasn't dead quiet. I would definitely recommend this place as a stopping grounds to really see what NYC looks like especially at night!! read more

I wanted to hit a rooftop bar in NYC, and Bar 54 on top of the Hyatt in Times Square came highly recommended. The hotel is on 45th b/t 7th Ave & Ave of the Americas. Go to the bar/restaurant on the first level and they will give you a pass to access the 54th Floor. When you arrive at the top there is a bar to your right. There is also another bar down the corridor on busier nights. Bar 54 has fantastic views of the Chrysler Building, and the H & M building across the way. The space is more like a perimeter vs an open air space to wander around. A lot of the furniture was covered bc it rained earlier in the day. Drinks are very expensive here ($22 for a patron w/ soda). However, the view is worth one or two drinks. The staff isn't overly friendly, but they were not rude either. read more

I'm just a bumpkin from Arizona but my buddy said we had to go to this place while on vacation in NYC. I was expecting it to to be pretentous and stuffy, but not so. First off, like the name says it's 54 floors up on the rooftop of the Hyatt. Second, it's super-chill with a cool summer breeze, city cacophony, and laughter. But mostly, the service is spectacular! We're we're there in our shorts and tennis shoes and this amazing server Cristina made us feel like billionaires that flew in on a helicopter. She was so funny and attentive that we had to stay for a third round. Make a reservation. And hey, go ahead and ask for Cristina... quite possibly the best server in the whole city. read more

Came for a drink and to enjoy a rooftop bar on a mild December night after seeing the trees and madness at Bryant Park and Rockefeller Center. This was the perfect place. We had the outside area practically to ourselves despite this hotel/bar's proximity to Times Square. You have to order inside but then you can take your drinks outside to enjoy the views. Inside, it's quiet and somewhat dark- an intimate vibe. Outside, you have a great view of Times Square and the NYC skyline. There aren't heat lamps outside so beware if you come on a cold day. It's expensive (drinks are around $16) but that's what we were expecting for the location and view. We enjoyed sitting outside and taking in the crisp air and bright city lights. I recommend stopping here if you're in the area and want to enjoy a rooftop bar 54 stories high. read more

Visiting Bar54 felt like an episode of Seinfeld. The folks at security minding the elevator took one look at us and told us the place was full. No soup for you. It's unclear if the place is poorly managed. Or very ageist. Either way, it's not a good look. read more

Shoutouts to the bartender on a Tuesday night. The drinks were amazing. I didn't get to taste the food because it was too late for us. It was about 10:30 when we got there. The only reason it's not getting 5 stars is security of the hotel argued with me about the rooftop being closed when I just spoke to them on the phone and was told they were open. She was really nasty and rude. She was wrong and didn't even apologize. read more

We went to Bar 54 recommended by one of our friends. Great view from the roof top! But it was a little cold for early May so we sat outside for a little while and had to come back in side. The host accommodates for us changing our table well. Our flat bread was amazing and cocktail was ok for $26/each - little pricey. However our overall, bar 54 had a good atmosphere. If you are looking for a crowded hip place this isn't it. It was quiet and relaxing. read more

We were so excited to come here while visiting New York. We just came for cocktails and the view! Unfortunately the weather changed and it ended up being foggy and raining during our nighttime reservations. I got the Sugar Plum Fairy cocktail first and it was delicious! Fruity and sweet but not too sweet as the lime made it a bit tart as well. I also got the Forbidden fruit cocktail with dragonfruit! I love drinks with egg white and this one delivered! It was also fruity and not overly sweet! I forget which ones my husband ordered but he enjoyed his as well. We sat inside and enjoyed our cocktails. I loved the atmosphere of this bar. I wish we could have sat outside and enjoyed the views as this was the main reason we wanted to go here. But we enjoyed our cocktails nonetheless. read more

Expensive, terrible service, and bleh drinks. Since we stayed here, we thought that it was nice and convenient that we had a rooftop bar located right above us. Unfortunately the day we decided to come, it was raining and freezing so we could barely stand outside for more than 5 minutes. I'll just keep this short and sweet 1. I was recommended to get the port wine cobbler since I wanted something that resembled a sangria, but this tasted nothing remotely close to a sangria because there was barely any sweetness to it. Maybe I ordered the wrong drink? and others are better. 2. Service was terrible, took awhile to get 2 drinks. I assume its because the 18% gratuity is already included in their bill so they don't feel like they need to try? 3. We ordered mixed sweet and salty nuts for $8 for a measly portion. But if you look at the picture, it came with 2 little bowls, one sweet and the other salty. I realized that every table gets the salty one, so we basically paid $8 for some sweet nuts.... 4. The waitress had brought our bill towards the end and she did not bring the credit card back even though she asked for it at the beginning to open a tab. I would recommend trying other rooftop bars before making a trip out to this one. However if you are a hotel guest, then it is definitely convenient and not the absolute worst decision to come here. read more

An incredibly frustrating experience altogether. The restaurant lied, they were closed when they said they were open, and I didn't even get seated. I made a reservation for 4:00. They sent me multiple reminders over text and email saying that if I am not there on time, they will take my reservation away and charge me $20. (This would be in addition to the $50 per person they require you to pay to even be seated). I show up a few minutes before 4:00, and I can't get to the bar. The elevator button doesn't work. The workers in the lobby say they don't even ALLOW people to go to the bar before 4:15! People kept showing up and experiencing the same thing. They went into the elevator, couldn't get to the bar, and ended up taking a ride to somebody's hotel floor until they could get back to the lobby and ask the workers what was going on. So, my first experience is the restaurant straight up lying. Cool, thanks for that. Then I finally get up there (at 4:15), and I'm carrying an 8 month old baby. They say sorry, we can't seat you because the baby isn't 21 years old. For all the parents of tiny babies out there, how many times have you ever been turned away from a bar because your baby doesn't have ID showing that they are 21 years old? Never? Yeah me either. So thanks for a perfectly lousy experience. read more
