    Bookmarks is an awesome hidden-gem rooftop -- intimate, relaxed, and perfect for unwinding with great drinks. The book-themed cocktail menu is fun and creative, and every drink we tried was beautifully balanced and well presented. The balcony seating adds a cozy, romantic atmosphere with skyline views that make it ideal for date night or quiet drinks with friends. Service was warm and attentive without being pushy, and the crowd felt chill rather than loud or chaotic. It's the kind of place where you can actually enjoy conversation while sipping something unique. If you're looking for a low-key rooftop spot with great ambiance and thoughtfully crafted cocktails, Bookmarks is a great choice. Will definitely come back again.

    I met a friend here at Bookmarks which is a hidden gem of sorts nestled in a hotel . The service was great as well as the cocktails . Too bad it was winter as they have outdoor seating as well with some nice views . Low key and certainly worth the visit !

    Cute midtown bar that's hidden and not too packed. We each got a cocktail - I got the Midnight Espresso but it tasted watered down. Would skip it. We then ordered a bottle of rose to share. I wouldn't be dying to come back here but it's a nice rooftop bar to catch up with friends. Our waitress wasn't too attentive. I asked for water and she only brought one glass when we had a table of 4.

    On our last night in New York, we went for drinks a Bookmarks, a rooftop bar near the library. There's limited seating and we didn't have a reservation, but the wait wasn't long -- not more than 15 minutes. We each had a couple of cocktails (I don't remember which ones -- I didn't write it down), and while pricey ($19 each), it was a nice way to spend our last night.

    The Bestseller

    Had a great time coming here for a quick drink after work. The bar is located on a rooftop of a hotel with an obscure entrance. We got there a little bit before 5pm so was able to snag seats before it got too packed. Nice and extensive cocktail list to choose from including small bites as well. Only stayed around for one drink and tried the Bestseller which was quite sweet but delicious. Definitely a nice place to visit on a nice sunny day.

    Awful service. Came on a Wednesday night (not busy) and although we were seated right away, our order wasn't taken for 10-15 minutes. Our waiter has been nowhere to be found since. The hostess sat another party and the table wasn't even cleared off. Very disappointing because the drinks were good- but not worth the AWFUL service.

    I decided to drop in on a Monday night and loved how quiet it was the week of Thanksgiving. The staff was friendly and was quick to bring me my drinks. The ambiance and atmosphere are ALWAYS lovely, ans something was very pleasing about the fire in the fireplace and the night sky being open for us to look up from the balcony sitting area to enjoy the city lights. I had Dantes Inferno and the Sleepyhollow Sangria this time around, and it was delicious. I also had a glass of champagne for giggles. I've been here three times and absolutely love it each time, and I will be back the next time I'm in the city. Thank you again!

    I went to drinks at Bookmarks last week with my mom. Bookmarks is located at the top of the Library hotel ,near the public library and bryant park. We were looking for something a little more low key while still being in midtown and Bookmarks was exactly what we were hoping to find. We arrived at 7:30 and were happy to see there was room for us despite not having a reservation in the busy December season. After reviewing the menu, we decided we wanted to try fun cocktails instead of wine. All the cocktails at Bookmarks are all book themed! I got the Gone with the Gin and my mom got the Spicy Romance. Neither of us loved our drinks but they were good enough and the environment was fun. We also got the truffle popcorn which was very rich and delicious. It came in a massive bowl and we almost couldn't finish the whole thing. I'm interested to give Bookmarks another try in the summer when the rooftop is open!

    Atmosphere Drinks Service decent Company Unfortunately the Frose machine was not working, so we didn't get to try the star of the cocktail menu.... However we did enjoy the Gone with the Gin, Summer Sangria, Dante's Inferno and White Lotus which I can whole heartedly recommend all of them... deeeeelish. Gone w the Gin was super cute definitely try! Cool spot to meet friends, ambiance is amaze and it's not too loud so you can still have a nice convo.
