    I've been here a few times and the vibes are nice and there's never a line to get to the rooftop when I've been here. Drinks are yummy but pricey. There isn't much service though - it's basically self serve. You go to order drinks at the bar, and then you bring the drinks yourself to where you wanna sit. One time I was there, the seat cushions were wet which was really gross... I told someone who worked there but they said there's nothing they can do about it.

    First off I want to say that this place had decent drinks and was cute. The view is not great, it's really just a view of buildings, but the place itself is nice and cozy. But my friend and I were wayyy overcharged for our drinks. Regardless of whatever 20% "service charge" they have (which I didn't know about until reading reviews after), we were still overcharged. $30 of drinks plus 20% should not equal $42. I gave them a call and whoever I spoke to hung up on me when I was trying to figure out the pricing issues. I'm wondering if the bartender tipped himself, as he did not turn the tablet around for either of us to choose a tip amount. I initially said to my friend I'd love to come back, but after figuring out this nonsense, we will not return.

    Super cute rooftop bar with a chill vibe. Wanted a cocktail after dinner to just unwind a bit, K-32 hit the mark, and with a great view of the ESB. Barkeep was super nice and chatted with her for a bit. Outstanding mule to boot. The only thing that's keeping it from 5 stars is the hood vent exhaust from the eateries below seem to blow right into the bar area. Not a huge deal if you just ate at a KBBQ joint cause you smell like it already. But if you're in office attire, may want to think twice.

    Easy rooftop bar with cute vibes! Intimate but fun with decor and music. We came just for one drink before karaoke and it was perfect.

    The best kept secret in NYC is that any cocktail lounge/bar in K-Town will generally be very low key and quaint because they are not the main attraction on the block. K-32 offers a great menu of drinks and an enclosed space with comfy seating. There is a nice view of the Empire State Building, but not necessarily a cityscape view. It's a nice spot to grab a drink after dinner in midtown!

    Prosecco, which they spell "Prosseco" on your receipt.

    Happy hour is from 4 to 7 and through Wednesday, and they feature drinks from $10 to $15. I thought about leaving as no one was there at 4:15 and everything was fake: the table, the flowers, the cup for water. You will be charged a service fee of $2 even if you decide on the $10 Prosecco. But at least it comes in a pretty glass? I don't understand K-Town anymore and desperately miss Pocha 32.

    Rooftop bar with delicious cocktails and amazing view of the Empire State Building. The inside seating is limited but it wasn't busy on the Winter Saturday Night we went. Perfect place to sit and enjoy a drink - can't wait to come back in the summer and sit outside

    This is a super cute bar right next to the Empire State Building. We got there around 6 and it wasn't very busy all all, which was nice to get away from the noise and hustle for a bit. Happy hour also has cheap 6 dollar beer and 10ish dollar well drinks. I would recommend if your looking for a cute bar to relax for a bit!

    A hidden rooftop bar high up away from the chaos below that is ktown. Coming on a Halloween Saturday weekend and still seats outside says something. Great ambiance, good music, nice decor, what more can you ask for? I really liked the decor of the outside patio and seating arrangements. Looks like that was recently renovated. This small spot is nice and cozy and the patrons weren't the rowdy bunch that you see at pochas.

    The view from the bar's rooftop was stunning! The tranquil atmosphere provided a perfect escape, and the staff was exceptional.

    A friend of ours recommended this awesome rooftop bar - we loved it! With a very extensive drink menu, there is lots to choose from and nearly every type for every person. We also grabbed a few orders of their jumbo pretzels and wings (yummy!). The music was great, the staff was phenomenal (and fun!), and the green tea shots were Definitely must come back next time we're in the city!

    Small rooftop in the heart of ktown. The elevator for the hotel took a very long time but once we got to the rooftop, the ambiance was nice. Security guard in front was pleasant and friendly. The bar was very small and barely any seats and the rooftop was too small with only a couple tables. It got packed by 7pm. The drinks we got were fine, priced at $14 for specials. We ordered the pita and hummus which came with tiny pieces of pita and not enough for dipping the hummus. My only complaint is the service charge they automatically add to the bill. I should be able to tip whatever amount I want depending on my experience. The servers were nice but it seemed hectic as it got busier. I probably won't be back.

    Super cozy and lowkey rooftop bar in the middle of k-town!! We walked into the hotel the bar is connect to and went straight up to the 14th floor! The patio has a few tables and we were able to walk in as a party of 6 without waiting - UNHEARD of for a Friday night in the area. The drinks were super unique and strong too. My favorites were the slice of paradise (came in a cute tiki styled cup) and the beautiful friendship (had egg white foam!!). Other drinks that we tried & would recommend are the K32, peaches, & cafe oaxaca! You really can't go wrong with any of the cocktails and the staff here were all super friendly! Will definitely come back here for delicious drinks and vibes :)

We…read morewere pleasantly surprised by the new Aegean menu, which featured drinks inspired by countries by the Mediterranean Sea. It was my first time there but I was expecting the menu I saw online, not this new one. We tried 2 drinks: one inspired by Turkish figs and one inspired by lemons and the "Miracle Berry", which inverts your palate and turns sour into sweet! I really enjoyed both drinks. The figs one came with a sweet fig granola bite and the lemon one really did taste sweet after eating the "Miracle Berry"! I'd definitely come back to try their many other drinks.

I liked how they organized the menu by country/geography to facilitate an understanding of the flavor profiles. I got two of the date & fig-flavored smoked whisky drinks and it was a well made, balanced, and very good. Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

    I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. It's my favorite speakeasy in the city by far…read more The drinks are absolutely phenomenal. They're experimental, whimsical, delicious, and worth every penny. My absolute favorite is Child of Light, and my BF's was High Frequency Device. The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too. Wonderful people and wonderful service. Needless to say, we will be back as frequently as we can!

She had been to…read morePatent Pending before and had good things to say, and since it wasn't too far from us we decided to head over. Patent Pending is a speakeasy, located behind Patent Coffee. It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made. They gave out a complimentary nut mix that was also delicious. Service was swift and gracious. If you're looking for a spot to impress a date, this is it.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

    I stopped by Clemente Bar with a friend who was staying at a nearby hotel. I had never been to…read moreEleven Madison Park before and wanted to check it out, not realizing at first that Clemente Bar is a separate concept from the restaurant. We walked in without a reservation around 6:20 p.m., and they were able to accommodate us at a shared table until 7:15. The menu surprised me a bit. Since I associated the address with Eleven Madison Park, I wasn't expecting to see items like wings stuffed with sausage, which were done in partnership with Jungsik. We ordered those along with the mushroom burger and asked them to cut the burger in half for us. The cocktail menu was creative and a little intimidating, with unconventional ingredients like cream cheese and green curry. I went with a fruity Hendrick's-based drink, and my friend ordered the spicy green curry martini. Both were good. Mine didn't taste very strong, but it also wasn't overly sweet because there was enough bitterness to balance it out. The green curry martini was more adventurous but still worked. Service was mixed. There was a woman standing near us, so we tried ordering food with her, but she seemed hesitant to come over. Maybe she wasn't a server or was newer. For drinks, she brought over someone more seasoned, who quickly helped guide us based on our preferred taste profiles. Her suggestions were very good. The mushroom burger was the highlight for me. It was a little salty, but the crispy mushroom and soft bun were a great combination. I honestly wished I had more than half. The wings were okay. They were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but coated in a Dorito-like powder that made them very messy. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back, especially for the mushroom burger.
