I thought I had reviewed this place before, but maybe I didn't. Maybe I included it in the review for the hotel. When I first started going to this bar, the staff was really warm and welcoming. Over the next few stays, they became much less friendly and inviting and seemed put off to be serving me at all. I find this trend has continued, years later. The bartender acted absolutely bored and put off by serving me. Drinks are fine, nothing too special, especially at 23 bucks a pop, and you're really there for the views anyway, which are great. Direct line of sight to the Empire State Building. I will say I agree with some of the other reviews that said they were turned away by the highlight room down the street at Moxy, that totally tracks, and despite service not being perfect, you're more likely to have a laid back, relaxed time at cloudM. read more

Okay my friend and I came here after being turned away at the Highlight Room up the block. So glad we were turned away. Cloud M was welcoming to ALL. It is a very spacious rooftop in a hotel. The inside roof had super high ceiling and windows floor to ceiling. Comfortable couches in here, and a beautiful marble bar with plenty of seating. The outdoor space is also very spacious with lots of different seating arrangements. They have an in house cocktail menu which I chose to get, sex and the city which was a twist on a cosmopolitan- very nice taste not too sweet or tart, perfect for vodka girlies. Overall I would come here again as the staff was super nice and the views! read more

Lovely experience. Wonderful and friendly bartenders. Reservation isn't always easy because you have to call the hotel reception and I was on hold for 21 minutes but otherwise great. read more

Pretty cool and chill vibes as its mostly hotel guest. Nice if u want to get a drink and chill, not like a pregame party place (also account for winter mode). The outside patio is beautiful but the view will be quickly obstructed by construction. They have a delicious beer ipa that distinctly taste like mango and isn't bitter. Nice lighting/decor, spacious area, casual service - kind of self serve. The drinks and food are okay, not something I'd go to here for. But the service is nice and people casual. Overall nice after work/chill hangout. read more

A very cute rooftop in Chinatown area. Drinks are as pricey as everywhere else. The bartender could have been a little bit friendlier but overall we had a good experience. Pro tip: Make reservations if you are coming during the weekend! read more

This is a beautiful bar with beautiful views. However, both times I've been here service left something to be desired. During my most recent visit, I arrived just a few minutes after they opened so I was the only guest. I was told I could sit anywhere, so I went outside on the patio. However, no one told me there were no servers so I politely sat outside for awhile patiently looking around and waiting. Eventually I came back inside and ordered a glass of sparkling wine at the bar. The bartenders spent some time joking around before getting around to it and then poured me a glass and handed me the credit card machine. It was fine but the whole thing was fully transactional. Additionally, my sparkling wine was a little flat and warm. While it was nice to sit outside and enjoy the views, I couldn't quite enjoy the drink and ended up leaving half of it. Overall, a convenient place to perch if you're in the area or staying at the hotel. read more

I came here for some drinks and a good view and it wasn't a bad spot. Located inside inside a hotel, this rooftop bar has both indoor and outdoor seating with couches and tables. Their menu has a variety of cocktails, other alcoholic beverages, and only some small bar bites. You order at the bar, pay there, and also grab your drink from there. Service was a bit slow for us. I didn't feel like drinking so I only got a mocktail, and although it was good, I wish they had more mocktail options here. Their drinks are a bit small and pricey, and I didn't feel like anything stood out in particular. Not a bad spot, but nothing special. read more

I went to cloudM rooftop bar last weekend for a drink and quite frankly I love rooftop bars. They are such a vibe, and I absolutely love seeing sunsets at rooftops. I saw the beautiful sunset with the NYC view. It was stunning and magical and it makes you forget for a second how crazy the outside world is and just live in the moment enjoying your cocktail drink. I ordered a cocktail drink it was pink and cute. I was on a date so I didn't take a picture of my drink but the drink was incredibly tasty under the summer heat. Great rooftop for dates, hanging out with friends, and weekend drinks. Cute rooftop with ambiance music, you do have to check in and let the hotel host know you are visiting the hotel for the rooftop. 10/10 rooftop bar experience with delicious food options in the surrounding area. So you can always have a drink here and eat elsewhere. They do have bar bites available at the rooftop bar but if you are interested in food elsewhere this rooftop bar is conveniently located nearby a ton of great eats. read more

Views are super sick, service is good. Drinks are a little pricey. Wish the hotel would give discounts to guests

Nice upscale rooftop bar with a nice wide view of Manhattan and Brooklyn. They have seating both inside and outside. Just stopped in for drinks, but the menu was nice and the service was great. Prices were decent for NYC. Overall cool spot to stop and get a drink. read more

My friends and I were greeted warmly (by staff in the hotel lobby) and escorted to the elevator to go up to the bar. The atmosphere was upscale cozy with a variety of seating options, and the cocktail menu seemed well thought-out. However, I thought they lacked depth in taste and my friend commented on how her drink did not have a salt rim like in the description and contained egg white even though the description didn't list it as an ingredient (luckily, she wasn't allergic). The views outside were enjoyable! read more

Cute ambiance, beautiful view of the skyline, and ample indoor and outdoor seating! Be warned though--the elevator is extremely slow, and I waited almost 15 minutes from standing in line and waiting for the elevator to stop at the floors in between the ground and the roof. The drinks here are moderately strong. You can grab your own seating, so if you want a nice view of the sunset, come early enough to snag a seat! Overall, a fun experience. read more

Visited cloudM several times during my stay at the CitizenM hotel and absolutely loved it! It is such a great bar with a wonderful view. The staff are really nice! There's a lot of seating inside the bar and outside on the deck. You have views from everywhere in the rooftop. They have a full bar so cocktails, wine, and beer and a couple of bites. The music was good and the decor is great throughout the rooftop. Definitely a must visit! read more

Arrived at 5pm on a Sunday, originally just looking for the Museum of Street Art. Unless you are a guest of the hotel, you need to ask the front desk at the Citizen M for the elevator pass to the 20th floor. We were welcomed by the hostess who asked us to join for a drink and to walk around the space. The friendly staff also told us to "check out the views from the bathroom" which seemed odd at first, but as I walked into the handicapped bathroom I found a floor to ceiling view of downtown Manhattan covered in a rose-tinted hue. Needless to say this place is full of magical surprises if you know what to look for. As we walked around the side of the bar I spotted two pieces by Kusama and an adorable balloon animal by Koons. The star of the room is a leopard statue covered in a mirror mosaic. I don't know the artist, but I loved this view as the sun was setting. The Cloud has ample indoor and outdoor space. We we're comfortable as a party of 4 in the lounge and taking photos of the skyline. The bartender greeted us and accommodated our requests as we giggled as the cocktail names like "Everyday Struggle." At $16-$18 a drink, we expected quality and got it! If we hadn't recently eaten we probably would have stayed for a bite. The food looked delicious passing by. By 6:30 we made our way over to the door was to start our decent down 20 flights and into the Museum of Street Art. This experience truly is a love letter to the Bowery. read more

I was a little worried about how this place was going to be after seeing a lot of negative and average reviews but I'm glad my friend and I decided to make reservations and give this place a try. Super cute hotel with beautiful artwork and interiors. The views from the rooftop were also amazing. They have both an indoor area where you can get table service and a more chill outdoor rooftop area where you can order from the bar and do self service. Once we arrived we told the person at the front desk at the Citizen's hotel that we had reservations for the rooftop and he checked our reservation and took us up the elevator to the rooftop. Highly recommend making reservations in the weekends because you will be able to just walk-in. Once we got to the rooftop we decided to sit indoors and get table service. My friend and I ordered the shrimp shumai, chicken and cabbage dumplings, and the egg fried rice. The fried rice was really good. The dumplings were a bit underwhelming. For drinks we ordered the Mango mojito and their tiki drink which was delicious. We also later ordered an Aperol spritz which was also great. Overall, enjoyed the classy ambience, chill vibes, views from the rooftop, and the friendly staff. I will definitely be coming back here soon! read more

Amazing rooftop bar with unique cocktails and unobstructed views. The word is that this place is often packed so making reservations is highly recommended, but we got lucky and were able to snag a table despite being a walk-in party of 3. The interior is upscale and sleek, and vibe here is very lowkey such that we were able to talk comfortably while we were there. The drinks were great albeit a tad expensive, but that's to be expected. I don't remember the specific names, but I got their dragonfruit cocktail and it was delicious and not too strong. I had a taste of my friends' pea tea and espresso cocktails which were solid as well. The highlight here though is definitely the vantage point you get of the city. The best view is of course in the terrace, but unfortunately they don't have heaters so we mostly stayed indoors. They basically have a 360 degree view though, so the views were great by our seats as well, and even the bathrooms. read more

The first time I came here, they didn't let us in without a reservation since it was a holiday weekend. I walked in recently without a reservation during pride weekend, and it wasn't too busy. This is one of my favorite rooftops now, and I recommend coming during the sunset. Their take on an espresso martini was my favorite cocktail! Aesthetic was really bright and colorful - I'll definitely be coming back! read more

One of the best indoor + outdoor rooftop bars in the Lower East Side. I've been to this spot before for dinner but didn't realize there was an outdoor patio.

Great place for a cocktail with incredible views of the city. I loved my cocktail, the Tiki Takeaway, and the gorgeous skyline. Spring rolls were not good.

Called front desk to see if I can use the hotel bar (to get some lite work done) as a non-member, she said yes. The bald bartender downstairs is actually a idiot who doesn't know what's good for him and the business. Actual Neanderthal that is losing money for the company. Refused to make me a drink and food cause I wasn't a member even though front desk said it was okay. Bruh they pay you enough to be hall monitor? Only thing he accomplished was turn down a paying customer and allowed me to freeload the facilities. Dude is stupid he doesn't even know he's stupid! Thanks for the free workstation I guess, now I know I don't even have to buy a drink and food read more

I've been in different rooftops in NYC and this one is definitely in my top 5 list. Service- the staff was very friendly and attentive, we ordered drinks from the bar and the bartender was given us great recommendations. Ambience- the place is beautiful and the atmosphere was great. Consider the day if you want to take lots of pictures. I went on a Tuesday, I got to sit outside and inside. It was not busy and the staff was able to accommodate. Highly recommended if you are looking for a spectacular NYC view . read more

Recommend to visit after your dinner & make your reservations ahead!! Very limited snack menu since they are meant for drinking. Astonishing beautiful view out here. Couldn't get a reservation for the first 2 times but when I managed to snag a table, plenty of spot open on Resy. Hope there's more sweeter cocktail options.

We were looking for a rooftop bar to check off on our NYC trip to do list.. A lot of the bars we had researched were more expensive and didn't have great views as a result of being in the center of everything where taller surrounding buildings obstruct the views. We happened to be dining nearby and found this place. Getting in was a bit strange because as someone coming off the street, you have to make a reservation for the bar even if they have space--it's all a part of the hotel's system as they have to make sure the actual hotel guests get first dibs. The whole place, including the lobby, is decorated in a rocker-glam-eclectic style--very cool and unique. The views were, as everyone else mentioned, excellent, with 270" outdoor views and the other 90 degrees covered via floor to ceiling windows inside. Their drink list is very creative and, if you take the stairs down to view the street art museum on display in the stairwell, you'll find the inspirations for the concoctions. My friend's dill pickle drink was actually really good, while my espresso drink was just okay. My one big gripe is that their music is a bit loud and it was sometimes hard to have a conversation even from across a small table. Speaking of the art, I do think it is well worth the hike down as long as you have good shoes and no knee problems. Be warned, it is 21 flights down on concrete and you have no option of hopping on an elevator halfway down. At the bottom though there are some chalkboard walls to make your own mark on this world (at least until someone erases it). read more

The best view in Manhattan, bar none. I went there three times...once after work on a week day: a bit crowded. Once on a Sunday evening: not crowded. Once in the afternoon to make reservations and the view is great even in the sunlight. Very nice staff. But the music is horrible. They said a company was responsible. My advice: Lose that company. Adults ( lots of Europeans) go to drink and talk while enjoying the view. It's not a disco, "Company" read more

Amazing views and ambiance. Came here for a panoramic and touristy view of the city at night and this delivered. You will need a reservation. It costs $50 to hold a spot, so make sure to show up on time. Drinks were pretty good, nothing crazy, but the views make up for it. read more

Really cool rooftop bar located in the CitizenM! Great drinks and a lovely view. Typically CloudM requires a reservation, but the staff was very accommodating and squeezed us in without one. The drink menu was a bit limited, but the cocktails we ordered were excellent. The drink I ordered contained some sort of tea and changed color when the tea was poured in! It was yummy and just strong enough. As a downside, I do wish there were more food and snack options. There were about 3 options on the menu and none were vegetarian. Apart from that, the vibe and decor of the bar was upscale yet comfortable. Be sure to step out onto the terrace to check out the view! read more

Want a decent spot to go after work? This place was ok. They didn't have many food options so it took away from the overall experience. The drinks were good though. I had two Moscow mules and a Mezcal margarita. Service started off blah but then we had a different bartender who took better care of us. Ugh I wish I would have remembered their name. I think it was Michael but he looked like he didn't wanna be there and it showed. read more

I think this place was intended to be more of a rooftop lounge for hotel guests rather than a legitimate rooftop in the city. The bartender looked like he knew how to mix a soda and a liquor, but nothing more. The views could be quite nice I assume because of the floor to ceiling windows and unobstructed view but we went on an overcast day so it was alright. Come for the views, not for the drinks, music, or crowd. read more

I came here at night with my friends, and this is by far one of the best rooftops I've been to. I have never ordered any more than one drink at a rooftop before, but here I ordered three cocktails! They were all so delicious!!! The service was great, and the ambiance is gorgeous. I absolutely love the outdoor seating variety, from couches, to bench style tables, to round tables. There is also plenty of comfortable indoor seating. The nyc views are immaculate. The cocktail prices aren't too crazy (you can get a certain cocktails for $15, which isn't bad for nyc). None of the cocktails I had were too bitter, too strong, or too sweet. They were all so refreshing, and my friends and I had a great time! I'm looking forward to coming back again, and I definitely recommend this spot to others. read more

Love this rooftop bar in NY. Probably the best one I've checked out so far. Good music, great unobstructed views, classy vibes, and good number of seating. Even the views from the toilet are amazing. I've been here multiple times when I stayed at the hotel (it's much easier getting up there as a hotel guest), but when I came back another time not as a hotel guest, the front desk gave me a hard time about going upstairs even though my friends had a reservation and table. You can't just walk in because you need someone from the front desk to call the elevator to the rooftop for you. read more
