    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mr. Purple is very spacious rooftop bar and restaurant located on the 15th floor[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mr. Purple's interior decor is very nice from moment you step off the elevator, walk around the bar/restaurant area and finally arrive to the rooftop/pool area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My bestie and I were here to attend an event and we had a wonderful time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a DJ playing a variety of music from different genres. We were enjoying the music and having a great time dancing as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The view from the rooftop was cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The rooftop area was decent, but in terms of size it was okay as long as it wasn't overly crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the fact that there was a pool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, it is a cool spot to hang out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This review is specifically for the outdoor rooftop viewing area of Downtown NYC, as I did not try drinks here; we only came for the rooftop views lol. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Terrific panoramic views of all the buildings, probably would be better to see at night but we were in the area and came in later afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have a small pool outside too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    First time here at Mr. Purple and definitely a good time. I went to visit my friend who is also a former work colleague of mine as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great vibe and staff, a place you must check out if you're in the delancey street area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love and appreciate you always ricky .

    I hung out here several times during my weekend stay at the hotel this past summer. We enjoyed the fantastic rooftop views and the pool. We even came up one night after dinner for the party vibes. It's definitely a younger crowd. Drinks were a but pricey, but not over the top. It is NYC after all. I think they charge a cover for the rooftop party after a certain time, but we didn't pay one - maybe it's free if you're a hotel guest?! Don't quote me on that. Well the one downside is that the music is very loud and when we got back to our room, we could still hear it!

    Mr. Purple is located in the lower east side. They have promising views of the city and the outdoor space is pretty large. They also have a gorgeous bar area with ample of seating as well. I recommend reservations for the weekends. Service was attentive and the music was a vibe. The only ding was drinks were pretty pricey $23 and food was $16 and up. Not sure if I can justify the pricing but overall the venue is pretty solid.

    I came here to bar hop with friends and it was a pretty decent spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside of the bar is pretty spacious with different levels and a huge patio area (that would be great for warmer days).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks and service here is decent.

    We came for the rooftop views, which you can see a peep of the skyline from a few angles. There is also a pool that no one goes in where all the bottle service tables are situated around. The space was crowded on a Thursday night with the DJ spinning on the terrace. We ended up moving to the outdoor space on the other end, which was much more chill. This side had some seating and no DJ, but a speaker playing music still. We were able to easily get a drink at the bar though, which were around $20 each. It's Manhattan, so pretty typical prices here. I do like that they have a more quiet side for people to enjoy as well, although not as great of a view on this side. It's a decent rooftop bar in NYC, but good for balance.

    Date: Friday, January 12th, 2024 Time: around 1:15am Group of: 6 My friends were staying at Indigo and we decided to head up to Mr Purple. First off, the views are amazing from the outdoor patio. To bad it was waaay too cold to hang out there. No heat lamps or anything. We decided to venture inside to drink and dance. *Jameson ($18) x2 *GLASS Prosecco ($18) x2 I got a prosecco since we had been drinking all day. A nice way to finish the night since I needed something lighter than all the dark I had earlier. I believe the jamesons were with ginger, but I'm not 100% sure. I liked the music that night. It was your typical top 40 and hip hop. We danced like we were youngins. It wasn't very crowded or busy, so we were able to take over an area by the bar and just have fun. Definitely worth checking out if in the area.

    Came here for a slightly early dinner after a Broadway show with a party of 4 on a Sunday evening…read more We had a reservation, but it didn't seem like we would have needed one, but I suppose better safe than sorry. The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

Calling him a bartender almost feels like an understatement--he's a true cocktail craftsman. I was amazed watching him create drinks based simply on a few words or flavors we mentioned. It felt less like ordering a cocktail and more like collaborating on one. Of course, he also nailed the classics. The Clover Club and Gimlet were both perfectly executed, and my husband tried three different whiskey cocktails throughout the evening and loved every single one. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for from a speakeasy: dark, intimate, and unassuming. The space is small, which adds to the experience, although the bar stools are definitely not designed for settling in for a three-hour hang (my only minor complaint).
