    Stayed at the hotel for the weekend. Restaurant was nice, but was literally being worked on most nights we were there, loud drilling, Fixing the roof. Just alot of chaos! Menu had many options, Drinks were ok at the bar. Food was ok. Would def stay in this hotel again and def stop into Versa for snacks and bites again. But nothing that was super Wow worthy!

    Coming to Versa is ALWAYS a pleasure. Our vendor always reserves the rooftop and it's much appreciated. Walking through the restaurant, you'll see elegant lighting, comfortable seating, a large bar, and plenty of televisions. The service is top notch. Staff members constantly refilling food selections (cheeses, fruits, angus sliders, chicken tenders, to name a few). There is multiple seating locations throughout the rooftop (booths, chairs, high-top tables, and long sofas). The view is spectacular. From the Empire State Building to 7th Avenue, it's beautiful and only gets better as the evening progresses. Thank you, Versa, for hosting another memorable gathering and I highly recommend it to everyone.

    Went here for a Madison Square Garden Group Outing Leader Appreciation Night. Two-hour open bar (beer and wine) and finger food (sliders, tacos, spring rolls, etcetera). Beer was cold, food was okay, just disappointed that the open bar closed 15 minutes early. The bartender said the organizers had reached their spending threshold. Really Madison Square Garden, you couldn't spring for fifteen more minutes?

    Came here for a quick bite after a comedy show at Comedy Cellar. The rooftop is huge with 3 levels, a full bar, big screen, and Dj on weekends. Let's not forget the great view of the city. The staff was attentive and polite. Very nice artwork in the lobby entrance as well as on the roof. The breeze felt really good as I ordered a BBQ choken flatbread and a glass of Rosè prosecco which the waiter recommended. The flat bread was good.. I would definitely return to Versa. I had heard of it but never been.

    Easy to make a reservation. Huge space. Beautiful outdoor patio. Large meal portions.

    Stopped by Versa Cocktail Rooftop on a sunny afternoon . Located inside a hotel, I came just for drinks, and the cocktails did not disappoint--perfectly refreshing and summery . The ambiance was sweet amazing rooftop views! And large Terrance We went early, so the vibe was chill and relaxed, and the staff were super friendly and attentive. Definitely a great spot to unwind and soak up the summer vibes.

    Beautiful rooftop bar inside the Renaissance Hotel. I see why they are on the list of one of the best sports bar in Nyc. It's huge with plenty of seating and screens, even has a ping pong table. Their happy hour ends at 6pm and drink wasn't great, as why I gave 4 stars. But the cocktail I had after 6pm was delicious, so I definitely come back. A great place for a large party, afterwork. They even have separated rooftop bar, private party area.

    Empire State Building views!

    Came for a Sirius XM event and was thrilled to get in no problem. The rooftop has spectacular views and a good amount of seating. We really enjoyed our dinner which was reasonably priced. The drinks at the bars though were outrageously overpriced, served in plastic cups and with 20% gratuity automatically added on. Staff was all very nice. Bathrooms were in sore need of attention from the onset (5PM) and had degraded further by the time we left around 8PM...tissue paper on floors, toilets not flushed, soaking wet sink area, etc. Would most likely return, just not for drinks specifically at those prices.

    We sat in the canopy section which has rooftop vibes but with fans and rain protection. Really liked the ambiance. Menu is pretty typical American fare, but well executed! Servers were friendly. Versa is not totally outstanding but really agreeable prices in a nice atmosphere. It was a great option for a late dinner after our travel day. Lots of TVs if you're looking for a place to watch a game. The cucumber spa martini was amazing!

    Alexa T.

    I came here to watch the Michigan football game. It's a cute rooftop with a good amount of TVs. Shoutout to Alana for great service all night! I got the Fresa Spritz, cucumber spa martini, and the White Lotus. Everything was very refreshing and great! The White Lotus was a little sweet though. We also ordered food: - pretzel - quesadilla - shishito peppers

    Do they do happy hour and if so, what are the hours/deals?

    Do i need reservations just to have a drink at the bar or can i just walk in?

    I was able to walk in. Definitely depends on how busy they are.

    Is this place currently open? Every time I call the number no once answers

    Yes VERSA is open. You can make a reservation on RESY

    If I make a reservation, am I guaranteed to have a table outside? It would be on a monday.

    I don't see why not...they were VERY accommodating to me and my party....and we arrived late.....we were sat at the bar until another table was available......and I went on a Friday night in June......so I think you will be good

    Could my wife and I bring our three year old son here on. Saturday afternoon? We eat and have a drink or two while he eats?

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.

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.

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.
