Besides the view, this place is terrible. The cocktails are crafted poorly- they need a new mixologist ASAP. The bar tenders are rusty- it wasn't even crowded and the bar tender confused our order, made the wrong drinks despite asking us to repeat our order 2-3 times. It was just three drinks!!!!! Also the whole concept of serving drinks in tall plastic glasses that are still wet inside and out is simply unappealing and insulting. The inventory needs some work too- it was early Saturday evening when we got there and they were already out of mint, two kinds of white wine and two kinds of red in addition to some of their cocktail ingredients. Maybe it was bad timing, but this Rooftop is nothing but the view. read more

This place is beautiful. Views are incredible but service sucks!! We popped in on a Saturday night and the doorman let us know it was hotel guests only give me a damn break it was so empty. We gave him $100 since we had out of town guests and he lets us in. Honestly I was put off but my friends really wanted to check it out. Once we were there and inside it def has the best views of nyc. read more

On 12/31/2021 @ 6:45pm we lost total trust of Bowery citizenM hotel and cloudM restaurant. My sister called numerous times and she was assured that 12 of us can go to mCloud roof top restaurant, where we had 2-reservation for all of us, even though she reserved one hotel room for 4-people. But when we got there we were met at the door and told only people staying at the hotel had access to the rooftop restaurant. At the hotel front desk she reasoned that this was all on them and was able to get refund for the cancelled hotel room. Covid pandemic has been on going since 2020, there is no excuse to not properly setting safety procedure and keep hotel staff informed. The fact that restaurant and hotel staff are confused reflects Management confusion. Traveler/people call for reservations for the hotel and restaurant needs to be able to trust the information staff provides. No thanks for our restaurant reservation & making our New Year's Eve more stressful. No we do not recommend this hotel and the restaurant due total lack of communication. read more

Best new rooftop bar downtown. Views for days, solid drinks, comfortable seating, and interesting food options that seem to rotate. When I went, they were serving "dim sum" (e.g. shumai and fried noodles) which I have never seen before as a bar food option! The somewhat random location in Chinatown makes it a more diverse crowd and less douchey than, say, a midtown rooftop bar. Pro tip: spend some time in the super cool, modern art-filled hotel lobby and coffee shop/bar downstairs, and check out their "Museum of Street Art" as well, which is located in the building's stairwell (yes, really) and features graffiti by artists from all over the world. read more

I love this place!!!! The employees are absolutely wonderful, and so sweet. The only thing is that the doors close earlyish even though it's not super crowded- they said it was to manage the audience so people in the hotel could get in more easily, which I understand but still a little disappointing. However, the drinks were tasty and it was a fun time!! read more

Beautiful views, great atmosphere, great service, yummy simple drinks. The amount of customers is still small, which makes it a great space for conversation and intimacy. Highly recommend. read more

Great little spot that I hope doesn't become too popular! Call ahead for a reservation. The views are really a knockout with the floor to ceiling windows! Most buildings in LES are only a few stories tall, so from the 20th floor you can see a lot! Very tasteful decor (think a nicer West Elm), and relaxed, almost quiet atmosphere. Short drink menu (my date chose the tequila-rum drink that was similar to a margarita-- delicious!). This is the good stuff. read more

The view here is excellent but the cocktail menu leaves you wish they had more. I wanted a reason to stay longer but with a small beer and cocktail menu I decided to go elsewhere. I instead ordered my favorite which is an extra dirty martini. They wouldn't serve it to me in a martini glass since I was sitting outside...which blows. I then noticed a lipstick stain in my plastic tumbler that my drink was offered in and switched it to a new one. Turns out other folks complained of the same thing and said they said it was something with their dishwasher....yeah I certainly don't want a cup with someone else's lipstick remnants still on it though.. so in short the view was great but the experience and cleanliness of its tumblers were it's downfall. I'll just go to another rooftop bar. It's cool. read more

The best un-pretentious rooftop in NYC right now. The hotel itself is gorgeous and the staff here are beyond nice. This is super rare - I feel like rooftop bars can have very rough service. Decently priced (you're paying for the amazing view as well). Cocktails are good, it's never too crowded and the music was perfect. Make a reservation because it gets busy (for good reasons). I love this rooftop and everyone I bring here also love it. read more

Terrible security guy, I didn't hear what he was saying when he asked to check out my bag and started screaming at me. Drinks are overpriced, security guy is a douchebag, he needs some anger management classes. Oh and also they have cockroaches there! read more

Awesome view! My drink was kind of weak (which is never the case with me) and pricey, but the names are fun and the view is worth it. It looked beautiful at night, but next time I think I'll come during sunset. The patio was very spacious and inside they either have bar seating, table seating, or couches facing one another. If you're looking for a place with a view all around, definitely go here. It was not too loud or difficult to have a conversation. read more

Great service, views, and drinks. Balcony was amazing ambience and decor was super trendy. Make a reservation if you're not staying there.

One of the worst places I've been to in nyc. We made reservations and once we got there they refused us entry (even though they saw we had a reservation). They told us they were "at capacity" but our friends who got there earlier told us the place was empty. We asked again if there was any way we could make a reservation for the night and they told us they did have enough room for us, but then told us they wouldn't allow us to book another reservation without any reason. The people working the front desk are the rudest I've ever seen, and completely inept at doing their job. If you're looking for a rooftop bar in LES, go to public hotels or mr purple instead. read more

This place is an believably. Awesome. Drinks are great and reasonably priced. CJ was our waiter and he is a gem!

Great rooftop bar with amazing views, specialty cocktails, and tasty food. Chicken tikka masala and steamed shrimp dishes were both very good. Their twist on an old fashioned allows you to choose the smokiness of the drink. Our experience was cut short by rain, but will definitely be back! read more

This place is still on that old pretentious NY vibe. Went to meet a girlfriend on a Wednesday night. They wouldn't let me up because she wasn't there. Which makes no sense. Especially for a Wednesday night. Anyone who's been out post pandemic knows most places aren't full anymore. To makes matters worse I was actually messaging the bar via WhatsApp asking about space and they confirmed the rooftop bar wasn't full. So again these people had me wait in a lobby and wouldn't let me up until my friend showed up. I honestly felt profiled. The vibe was so bad I left. I'm not in the spirit of supporting businesses who don't support potential customers. Also the rooftop is overrated. read more

A spectacular view of the city and drinks that won't break the bank. I got a cider, and my friends got this apple seasonal drink that they really enjoyed. Overall, a great ambiance and fun place to meet up with friends for a drink. I would definitely come back for the rooftop views! read more

cloudM Rooftop Bar Bowery - View of the city! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

The views here are stunning. I came on a Saturday afternoon and there were plenty of seats inside and outside. The hotel itself has a funky decor that is worth checking out. We were told there was a street art museum that was open until 4 pm, which I hope to come back to see. This is the perfect spot to spend a summer afternoon and take in the beautiful New York views. read more

This place is sick. Small niche spot with gorgeous 360 views of the city. Cheap beers-8 bucks. Definitely going to see some small time celebs and fashionistas. Tons of room to sit outside and inside. Really interesting design and vibe. LOVE IT. So happy my friends showed me this place. New summer spot read more

Needed a place to host a semi-private event and this rooftop bar was the perfect place. Erik helped with all of the details and we set up a tab and reserved a small section of the bar. I cannot emphasize how amazing their events team is and the bar manager Eli helped make the event run smoothly and perfectly. This venue is so picturesque. Even though it ended up raining, the indoor portion of the rooftop is so cute. I really like the decor with the bright lights and bicycles and youthful/playful furniture. All of the specialty cocktails have interesting names and some of them come with a little souvenir. For example, the cowboy drink comes with a lace mask. The princess drink comes with a fake diamond ring. It really makes it fun to order a drink and find out what comes with it. They're in the $14-18 range, which is to be expected for a rooftop. Overall, though, I really like this place for a private event because planning was so easy and efficient with their team but I will also be back just to visit! read more

Great rooftop bat with inside and outside beautiful city views! Many drink choices-pricey, but worth it! Kind efficient staff. Did not have food the last time I went due to a private event immediately before. Limited snack menu the previous time I went. Near East Village and located above CitizenM hotel. You will not be disappointed! read more

Man at front desk was so insanely rude. Told us they were full as they then proceeded to allow patty's in after us. Said we were not allowed to use the bathroom and said we could not even wait for an open table the rest of the day because they did not want us there. Management also did not handle the situation right and did not care when we told them we had a bad experience. Never again. DO NOT GO read more

5 stars for views and ambience and it wasn't crowded we were a large group so we had enough room to sit and comfortably enjoy our drink. Service sucks, it wasn't even crazy busy given its summer and every other New York City rooftop bar is swarming with people and long lines. Our first round of drinks took like forever to come served in plastic cups and they are not cheap. Common people show some respect it's a rooftop bar of Citizen hotel not some tiki bar serve a cocktail how it is supposed to be served makes one enjoy their drink more ‍. Food was ok few Asian options not bad ! We never got around our second round of drinks Some health inspector showed up on a Friday night they temporarily stopped serving drinks. So we moved to a nearby rooftop Lastlight . Which wasn't bad! This can be a great place if a little more attention is paid. read more

Drinks are okay. View is amazing. There's no wait so it since hit there NOT TABLE SERVICE so you need to wait at the bar WHILE sitting at your table and running back and forth. Not really recommended but it's nice because of the view and no wait. read more

Didn't stay too long but a Hennessy and ginger ale cost me $14 before tip. The staff is super friendly and social and knows how to strike quick conversations.

i've been coming to this rooftop since it got busy for the summer. i was always able to just go straight to the rooftop. now you have to take the outdoor stairs to go down one level to get your id checked for a stamp/sticker. they always say the rooftop is packed but it's usually not. it has a beautiful skyline view of nyc. indoor and outdoor rooftop is pretty. this time i chose to sit inside and enjoy the bar lighting and art. got the first cocktail on the list ($14 prosecco & grapefruit) it was yummy but very light alcohol.. do not get the $9 canned bad seed cider. you might as well drink a sparkling water. read more

Stopped In for an after work drink. Definitely will be back . The views are great and the outdoor roof space is great for warmer weather. The drinks were $8 for beer and $14 for cocktails not bad about in between for other hotel bars. The design is super fun and there's lots of lounge seating which is great. read more

Amazing views of the city were epic. They need to reopen bar seating and get rid of the high tops. Patrons shouldn't have to stand at an empty bar to wait for cocktails to be made. Staff was great. read more

This rooftop is one of the best in Manhattan. The view is amazing, indoor and outdoor. Also, the view from the bathroom is incredible ! Cocktails are great, prices correct for NYC. The only bad point could be the good. Very view possibilities, mostly appetizers. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Probably one of the best "new" rooftops on the block! Despite of the smaller area, you could probably find yourself a table on the inside as well as on the outside within no time. The staff is courteous and professional and they have a long way ahead of themselves! Overall I give it a 4 star review but the cocktail names are what gets it the fifth star cheers! read more

Beautiful place! Limited menu, under staffed but did the best with what they had so it was greatly appreciated. The manager, literally was the host bartender and cook! She deserves five gold stars. Totally worth the wait. Definitely something people should try to experience at least one. My favorite thing is the ambience along with the view. Music was very diverse as well ! Would recommend read more

I really enjoyed this rooftop lounge. My friends and I decided to come here after seeing the enticing photos online. There was no cover when we lined up around 9pm. The wait was around 20-30 mins since they were only able to accommodate 5-7 people in the elevator every 5-10 minutes. When we arrived upstairs, there weren't that many people. I'm getting the gist that this is a place where people go to pregame because it was super relaxed and music wasn't blasting. This was exactly what I was looking for so we were there for quite some time. The views were amazing. It wasn't in the middle of Time Square, but certainly breathtaking. The outside lounge area was comfortable and can accommodate for large groups. I found the couches inside even more comfortable, so you can't go wrong. The drink options were pretty unique. I'd probably come back here again if I just wanted a chill night. read more

To start with, I would say there are many other better rooftops in NYC where I won't mind spending my time and money and suggest the same. The cocktail glasses were cloudy and spotty!! Moreover, after keeping a tab open, the bar tender took forever to find my card and had already declined a drink to my friend saying that they don't have my card. Finally, after more digging and searching, they found it and took more time again to fix a drink for my friend. Honestly, I didn't even find the place to be that crowded either as the other usual rooftops in NYC are. The food options are limited too. I would rate this on the interior and the views but no points for service. Maybe it was a busy day or bad timing but won't recommend this place and not going again. read more

The rooftop bar at this establishment, racially profiled myself and my party who came to celebrate a birthday. When I finally asked to speak to the manager. I was told that there wasn't a manager on duty which I found absurd. Finally one came out of hiding and when I explained to him the events that occurred, not once did he show empathy. He defended his team and disregarded my perception and tried to invalidate my feelings. He even had the audacity to say that his team watches weekly videos on racially profiling. Seriously??!! He tried to calm me down and assumed I wanted compensation by bringing over a round of shots. News flash not all black people want to be compensated! We want respect and to be treated equally! Our money is worth the same as your white patrons! The service was disgusting and we were definitely being treated differently because we were black and the only black patrons that were there at the time! read more

Went there around 9.30 pm and rudely turned away. They said we're not taking any outside guests anymore (even though the bar closes at 11). How are they not taking anyone so early on? Weird. Also there's a proper way to say no, they were rude and condescending in responding and their whole mannerisms. I don't want to assume they are racist towards Indian/brown people but that's the vibe I got. read more

The city view was great but the host service was terrible. We made reservation but we had to find our own table as instructed by the host. At first all tables inside and outdoor were taken. Luckily we were able to have a table after someone was leaving. So reservation doesn't work here. read more

Visited NYC for the holidays and decided to visit this rooftop bar. We went upstairs and immediately were told if we didn't have a reservation we had to leave. There was no one in there so it was very confusing but we left. On our way out we came across a bar right outside the elevator. We decided to have a drink ; a couple minutes later the same young man came and told us we had to leave . He informed us that only guest of the Hotel were allowed to have drinks. I have been to numerous bars/hotels and have never felt so unwanted and disrespected . I DO NOT recommend going to this place . NYC has tons of other amazing locations . read more
