    Drink - cherry whiskey
    Hank C.

    Rooftop bar of the Gansevoort Hotel in Meatpacking. Great view, cool vibes, close to the pool, but uber hot and sun was all in the eyes for the seated section of a dinner spot. Could've used better shading at 5p on a sunny day, hard to see during the dinner depending on where you were seated. Live music that day which made it a bit harder to hear the conversations. Fruity drinks, and some drinks were out of stock on the menu, forced the guys to change things up. Water provided had stuff in it (not sure what, but they changed out all the glasses for us). Sushi was ok, the oysters a bit on the small side (East Coast?), with no cocktail sauce. Burrata on toast was good, though. Service was good, generally - small area for the server so she came back to us relatively frequently. Busy, too - we were lucky that we came early and could get a seat - later it was busy and no spare seats to be seen (folks waiting). Elevator is keyed by the doorman (since it's also a hotel).

    I would absolutely not recommend hosting a party here or honestly giving them any business. My friends and I reserved the space for 200 people and they refused to let most people up, even though it wasn't very crowded. This was the coldest night of the year (feels like -16 degrees) and they asked people to go to the outdoor heated roof area to make room to let people up. What establishment in good faith will make people go outside in that weather? There was literally an extreme cold warning in effect. Additionally, every person we spoke to was extremely rude and condescending. As a group of young women we were made to feel extremely uncomfortable. I really would not recommend this place. And for context - Chris (our main point of contact) texted us "We have free Coat check for everyone tonight and we will not be holding anyone online. We will let folks in right away." Here is a picture of the line downstairs where they refused to let anyone up and also made people stand outside in the freezing cold. I'm really not one to write reviews but this was absolutely ridiculous.

    My partner got a dish with Parmesan cheese back in June here. The cheese was virtually tasteless. He wondered why it had no Parmesan cheese taste at all and kept adding more, in vain. Now it's September. He's been EXTREMELY sick, even missing days of work. He was eventually diagnosed with Norovirus. It recurred in early August. Nightmare, round two. We have gone over this again and again...and this is the only meal that was out of the ordinary for us during the week. Gratefully, his nephew and I did not get a pasta dish. At first, we thought, how could someone get Norovirus from pasta with Parmesan cheese? Then I did some Googling. This is exactly what he experienced after having the pasta dish here! The symptoms line up. Also, he booked dinner here for my birthday on June 12 a couple weeks before we came with his nephew and we were told they weren't serving dinner any longer at that hour (we had seen a show before) but that we could have drinks. Who accepts a review on OpenTable for only drinks? It really was a thud moment on my birthday. Another stumble by this establishment. We ended up going around the street to Meduza, who saved the day with lovely ambiance, great service and a top notch dining experience. Should we ever return to the Gansevoort Rooftop, I assure you it will only be for drinks.

    Asma took care of us tonight and she was INCREDIBLE! My fiance and I celebrated my 31st birthday and the food, drinks and atmosphere were nothing short of spectacular. Asma was so sweet, attentive, and efficient! Best dining experience in a long time, will definitely be coming back.

    Stunning rooftop, great service and exceptional drinks !! I would recommend this place to everyone !! Truly one of my favorite places. The food is alright, but drinks are great

    A slice of Heaven at the Gansevoort Hotel Rooftop bar & pool. Comfortable seating & beautiful views. Pool service was a little slow but overall my experience was delightful.

    My girl friend and I wanted to stop by a hotel lounge/bar before heading out to our typical spot on a Friday night. Glad we stopped by to check out what the Gansevoort has been up to. There's a little coffee/cocktail waiting area in the lobby when you first walk in. We headed to the roof to grab a cocktail and decided to stay inside. The view is great if you choose to sit outside. The sitting area inside is pretty small with two large tables, back wall sofa seating, bar seating, and small tables for two people. Our service was excellent! He was so funny and kind. Our hipsters was very nice too. My friend got an espresso martini and she loved it. I got the sex & flowers cocktail and it's so sweet and tasty. I'm the type of person who loves fruity cocktails and juice. So I recommend that if you also love juice and fruit flavors. The cocktail was very beautiful and bubbly. Both of our drinks were strong.

    My husband hosted my 30th birthday party at the Gansevoort Rooftop and it was amazing. The service was quick, the staff were friendly, and they made sure that my night was perfect. I want to give a special shoutout to Lauren, who truly went above and beyond to make sure that the event ran smoothly! The drinks were delicious, and while we did not eat the evening of my party, every time I've ever dined at the rooftop its been delicious (shoutout to chef!) Would highly recommend Gansevoort Rooftop and I look forward to coming back again to wine & dine!

    Previously known as the gansevoort rooftop??Came here for drinks after buddakan dinner. Love the ambiance, not too crowded. Drinks were good and service was great. Been here several years ago but definitely not as packed as I remember. Still great views for this area. Might come back. No lines for Saturday night. Trust.

    So here's the deal the views are great and second to none the service is.. well... none. The waitress took forever to come back each time it felt like a decade just to get a glass of water. She was sweet but tried to scam us (I was with my financial/wall street friends) so there was no scamming possible for us! She tried to tell us a big bottle of rose would be cheaper than two small ones. We insisted we wanted the two instead and she kept bringing the large bottle....acting like it was our fault not being clear what we wanted. Disappointing to say the least- a very drawn out afternoon....

    Gorgeous rooftop! My friend and I came for an event in the evening, and I love the green room aesthetic. The view near the pool was also beautiful. I would definitely recommend coming around sunset

    During our adventures in the Meatpacking district my friend insisted we pay a visit to The Top of…read moreThe Standard for the amazing view. We got there shortly after they opened (4 pm), so it wasn't busy. On your way to the rooftop you'll pass through a nightclub, which reminded me of a discotheque reminiscent of Studio 54. According to my friend, it doesn't get hopping until later and good times are had. There is a jacuzzi inside, so I can only imagine the wild antics that occur. I would have absolutely been a regular here back in the day. The Rooftop is spacious with plenty of places to chill & relax. I ordered a Cucumber Limonade $16 (Vodka, Cucumber, Lime, & Elderflower). It was crisp & refreshing. Perfect for this beautiful sunny day. My friend was right. The view was stunning - with sweeping views of the city and the harbor. It was so nice to be so high up above the bustling city without a care in the world.

One person in our group may have seemed a little off, and because of that, the staff refused to serve any of us alcohol. We get that they have policies to follow, but it felt a bit unfair to penalize the entire group--especially since the rest of us weren't drinking or acting out of line. To make things more confusing, they came back later and said we could order alcohol after all, but by that point, the mood was already off and we decided to leave. The place didn't seem bad overall, but that experience definitely left a sour taste. Maybe we just caught them on a weird night. Wouldn't recommend especially being in the wine country.

My only two gripes with the spot were - they didn't acknowledge my birthday, even with a happy birthday from my server or the hostess. I am not sure why Resy prompted me to indicate the occasion if it wouldn't even be acknowledged or looked at. It obviously feels good to feel celebrated, so they dropped the ball in this regard. The second issue is it got sickeningly loud inside. This was a sunday night, and I ended up having to shout just to be heard by the girl right next to me. Everything else was good! Though there wasn't a dish that just blew my mind, everything was consistently really good and enjoyable. I recommended ordering a handful of dishes and sharing with a group. The cornstar martini was fun (and the popcorn was great!), the vodka pasta, caesar salad, and truff fries were enjoyable as well. The cute matchboxes were a cherry on top as we were leaving! I would come back for more of a going out event instead of a sit down dinner, but it's a cool spot!

We thought mini golf was interactive, everyone had the same chance to play and it's simple enough without exerting too much energy (unlike an escape room or the dancing tiles which I also came across in my research). Great place for friends, families, dates of all ages. We checked in on the ground floor (also have a coat check here) and were told they have a cabin themed course on the 2nd floor and a museum themed course on the 3rd floor, but there was a party going on. They also told us about the rooftop lounge, which is covered with plastic and they have heaters blasting the space. We went with the cabin themed. Although I don't think they completely blocked the 3rd floor with the party, we just didn't want to have to compete with others and wanted a quiet experience. They have stairs or an elevator. Once we got to the 2nd floor, we were the only ones there and were explained how the digital scoring works. We inputted our names, and our scoreboard would follow us from board to board in sequence after we all punched in our scores. The max was 6 putts per course to help keep things moving (we definitely played more than 6 on some courses lol). The courses did progressively get more challenging as you moved on. The decor was beautiful. Fairy lights lined the space with murals or a ski lodge/mountains around with a polar bear and a ski mobile. Many cute photo ops. On the last course, once you made it, the game swallowed your ball, I guess to help prevent you from trying to play the course again. I wish there was more than 9 courses though. It was fun enough but maybe having a few more would have helped fill the time more. Time flew by and we had lots of laughs. Would be excited to come back to try the museum course next time.

As an older born and raised New Yorker, the tough guy bouncer act is TIRED! We've seen it. Move on. Other than that? Food amazing. Service with our waitresses was amazing. And the decor was fire with the vinyls on the wall. Would I go back? Maybe. Especially if next time they swap the techno for some Japanese jazz so I can actually hear my husband without yelling.
