    Came here for brunch on a rainy day, it was pretty empty so I'm sure the vibe is different when it's packed. Menu is very small, food was okay but the drinks were good. I would personally recommend just doing drinks here. Because of how heavy the rain was, there were a few leaks throughout the space which wasn't great for the vibe of an already empty spot. They were also doing construction on the front door which made them turn up the music so it was loud. It might be fun on a warm summer day when it's crowded but any other situation doesn't seem like a good time here.

    This place is located at the top of the Four Points Hotel on the 29th floor. Once off the elevator you notice all the hanging plants and flowers. The ambiance was great! We notice a host/hostess booth, with no one there. We waited a few minutes, but no one ever came or even looked in our direction, so we asked the bartender if we could sit anywhere, he said yes. It took at least a good 5-8 minutes for the sever to acknowledge us. We finally ordered a drink and lobster tacos. The tacos were good but very tiny. The drink was meh, one and done. Once our other guest arrived we tried the Mac and cheese, again just meh. We would rate the ambiance as a 10, and everything else a 3.

    Escape the city and enter a lush rainforest oasis right in the heart of FiDi -- @highkeyforest is the ultimate rooftop hangout inside Four Points Hotel! We came for the $30 bottomless brunch (Saturday & Sunday, 12-5pm, 90 mins) and stayed for the Gemini Experience -- a cocktail flight featuring margarita, prosecco, and wine, served with a miracle berry tablet that bends your tastebuds! One sip, two flavors. It's wild. Every corner here is IG-worthy -- think jungle vibes, stunning rooftop views, and vibey music all day.

    Absolutely beautiful place. Love the brunch and the staff was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place

    Nice little rooftop. No reservations needed for two; we were able to go right in and be seated. I had the coco mango drink and the steak flatbread. The drink was great. But the flatbread, not so much. It was not fresh at all. I can't recommend the food but the vibe was good. We did enjoy the rooftop vibe and the hookah service.

    Highkey Rainforest Rooftop is a low key vibe place on the weekend! Food: the food to me is moderate nothing stood out over the top. It's traditional American style food. The drinks is the hype. There's various specifically I love the Leeche martinis. We had the chicken and steak tacos, the steak and fries, and the sliders with fries. Service: the service was okay. The hookah took a long time. The main course came out before the starters. The taco were really good and the NYC steak strips was well seasoned. Ambiance: the ambiance is really good and vibrant. The various colors and stations to take pictures. The set up is cozy for couples and seats large parties. I give this location a solid 3.89/5.0

    Steak and eggs

    We stopped by for a weekend brunch the place had a vibe of a hookah lounge with couches as the mood of seating and small tables in front. A more relaxed vibe. Food: we had ordered the steak and eggs execution decent. We had gone for the bottomless brunch. The servers were appropriately attentive. I would say this is a best setting for a very relaxed vibe. It was a shame there is new outdoor space. There is a lot of potential to the space could use a little freshening up. Overall solid passable experience. The florals hanging from the ceiling add a nice touch.

    Nice place to grab a drink and take pics. They have a lot of spots with signs and props for photos. We enjoyed beautiful drinks with popsicles and chill vibe. Bartender was nice and made good drinks. Plenty of space and good layout but I didn't get the usual cool rooftop experience/view.

    Came here with the Pulsd deal " $59 For A Bottomless Brunch For Two" and were the only table there on a Sunday at 12:30 pm. Was surprised to find the place empty, the decor very busy, and the cleanliness falling short. This is definitely a place that focuses on nightlife over brunch. Was very close to just having our drinks and leaving since it was paid for, but we ordered the avocado tostadas and it changed everything. They were the best avocado "toasts" I've ever had. I ate the whole thing and I wasn't even hungry. I also liked the 2010's nightclub music that wasn't too loud, could still have conversations. But wasn't happy with the condition of the couches, surfaces, bathrooms, decor. I guess that would be the trade off for the great bottomless deal.

    Very chill and instagrammable rooftop bar! However, there's not really much of a view given this bar is not very high up and there's plastic sheets surrounding 80% of the border. Leafy decorations everywhere with neon, artsy led lights here and there. There's a phone booth in a corner for aesthetic photos. There are QR codes on tables, however, the menu online are wrong and outdated!! Which is really sad because I wanted to try this one drink with fruit boba and gummy worms? We sadly had to amend our order at the bar when we tried to place our drinks. Lychee martini was tasty and felt decently strong (obligatory side note, I am a lightweight). My friend got a banana cocktail and that one was so unique and tasty too! Super interesting that the bartender stuck four twigs of mint into the drink along with the stems. Also... in hindsight, I think we might have ended up paying tip twice because it wasn't clearly stated in the bill! Tell me how else my one drink ended up costing me $30! It was quite nice that we were able to walk in without any reservations. Music wasn't too loud and they had basketball playing on the tv. I could see it a fun place to hangout if it's convenient but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. The menu does offer some large drinks to share, which could be fun for a group!

    This place is a definition of IF YOUR WALLS ARE GRASS, THE FOOD AND SERVICE IS ASS. Really was not fond of the food. And the food was not fond of me. I don't normally have bowel movements from eating burgers or sliders. But these at high key rainforest was not it and was cutting me up. Smh. You could tell that the quality of food is very low as a result. And just from looking at it. I should've known. The decor here is sooo cute. This place has so much potential but it falls very short! The prices don't make any sense. What are we paying for...the decorations? Because the service was horrible as there was only one person running the whole floor. She was the hostess, waitress, bottle girl and security. It was crazy but toodles to her work ethic! Everything was rather disorganized. No one knew what they were supposed to be doing or how to do their job efficiently. Not to mention there was no happy hour or specials offered. Nor was anything special done as a result of a birthday. The music was okay. Drinks were decent. But very inconsistent! My drink was weaker than the others at the table. And each one varied in taste. The seats also lacked taste and class. There was no consistency and it looked like the furniture was picked out of someone's man-cave. Eww! The seats were dirty and unappealing! The weathered plastic around the rooftop looked rather ghetto to have views going out towards the east river. Everything seemed cheap including the experience. But definitely not the bill, which was disappointing because the check should've matched that sad grass. Really only enjoyed it for the occasion and because my party was the vibe. Period. NEVER RETURNING. DO NOT COME HERE! Don't let social media fool you!!

    29 Margarita & Lychee Martini
    Carolin R.

    Ambiance - 10/10 Service - 10/10 Food - 6/10 The food was well seasoned. Good taste but did not meet the expectations. The steak and new potatoes and fries look completely different on Instagram. We ordered medium cooked steak and got well done. The Mac & Cheese looked nothing like it did on their Instagram either. It was lighter in color and seemed to not have the same cheese baked on top. The taste of the fries and Mac was a bit off. It didn't taste as fresh as expected. Overall it was a great vibe. The hookah was very good and they offer a variety of flavors. It's a good place for drinks, photos, and maybe some quick appetizers. Overall I give this place a 7/10.

    29 margarita
    Steven P.

    The space itself was giving vibes--super cute and perfect for a birthday dinner aesthetic. I came here with a party of 8 for my friend's celebration, and while the drinks were absolutely top-tier (do not leave without trying the 29 Margarita--it's a 10/10), the food was... a different story. Let's start with the wings--honestly, the only real win of the night. Everything else? Meh at best. Everyone's fries came out cold (mine included), and to make it worse, they kept mixing up our orders. Somehow "Parmesan truffle" turned into "parmesan trouble" because both kinds of fries were just sad and borderline inedible. The host was lovely, but our server clearly didn't want to be there. The energy was off--eye rolls, attitude, and just plain cold. Speaking of cold, my friend's steak? Served cold... twice. We had to send it back to the kitchen like we were on a reality show. Final verdict: Come here for the drinks, the ambiance, and the Instagram pics--but if you're expecting a solid birthday dinner experience? , keep it cute and keep it moving.

We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready.

I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.
