    Elevated ambiance inside and quite limited but cool views outside facing south west with a dozen of tables. The cocktails are good and priced on par with the NYC rooftops.If you dont mind Times Square - it is a perfect rooftop in the area. Great visibility of dropping New Years ball.

  • Review 2 (2024-06-24 - Rating: 5)

    Known as the highest outdoor rooftop bar in NYC, Bar 54 lives up to the hype. The view is stunning from all angles of the bar as you see many famous parts of the NYC skyline, Central Park, and Times Square. The ambiance is upscale with music at a low volume, restaurant seating, and an elegant atmosphere. Staff is friendly and attentive. We chose to sit at the bar and the bartender was good with maintaining a conversation and having a light-hearted mood. Seating is limited so I would suggest getting there early or coming on a weeknight. They are also very strict with the age policy and will not allow anyone under the age of 21 to enter. Prices are more on the expensive side, but they seem worth it, especially for the view and quality of service. I did not get to try the food but would come back to enjoy a dinner and some drinks with family or friends.5/5 stars!

    I had a wings with Miso sauce and an old fashion cocktail for $50.

    Grabbed a drink here with my girlfriends around 9:30PM without a reservation, thankfully we snagged the only open bar seats available. We had a really nice bartender, loved her. I got the apple rum based drink $25 but it was delicious! Will definitely be back!

    The rooftop was absolutely amazing...we showed up after the kitchen was closed but had drinks. The view was beautiful & the atmosphere was very sophisticated & classy.

  • Review 6 (2023-11-14 - Rating: 5)

    I went to drink cocktails and have some bite in the City with my friend. We ordered the Octopus which was amazing (picture attached) and ordered a few drinks. Our favourite was the Forbiden Fruit. Service was fast and friendly. They are making renovation on the balcony which I believe will level up this place.

  • Review 7 (2024-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    We were staying at the Hyatt Centric and visited this bar, I would recommend reserving a table if you want to make sure you get an outside table. This is without doubt one of the best bars we had been to, Nico the bar manager was very knowledgeable and the rest of the staff were so accommodating. My wife and I aren’t drinkers but the mocktails we had were very good and overall cost was a very pleasant surprise. I would definitely recommend this bar to anyone who wants keenly priced drinks with a fantastic view.

  • Review 8 (2024-09-15 - Rating: 5)

    This is by far my favorite bar. The ambiance and atmosphere is incredible. And the views of the city are stunning.

    Music was great: afrobeatsWe were sitting inside due to the bad wearher conditions; aperol spritz and moscow mule were fine.. sat for a while & then leftViews are nice too

    Great service and nice wine. They do not serve outside but they explain everything when you get in. View was astonishing.Nice for the sunset.We went in October and we needed no reservation.Best rooftop in NYC. I would repeat.

  • Review 11 (2024-09-10 - Rating: 5)

    Very happy we decided to chance getting a last-minute sunset table here! Staff are lovely and helpful. The appetisers we had were delicious, decent cocktail and perfect atmosphere after a busy day exploring the city. Highly recommend!

  • Review 12 (2024-02-04 - Rating: 4)

    Chic rooftop bar atop the Hyatt. We were post-show looking for drinks and light apps, with a view and this delivered. A decent selection of house cocktails, standard wines and a handful of beers with a solid hard liquor list. Our server was amazing and took great care of us. Even though the kitchen had just closed he was able to get us a cold platter. The view from the deck has many icons of midtown like Empire State, and to the south to Freedom Tower.

  • Review 13 (2023-07-30 - Rating: 5)

    The place is beautiful with great views and service. The terrace is under renovations, but we didn’t miss being outside since it was so hot and humid. I dont think that even the 54th floor wouldve helped. Our drinks were delicious, and I could spend hours just looking outside and sipping my drink. It was Monday night, not too many people were there and it felt nice and quiet if thats your thing.

  • Review 14 (2023-09-18 - Rating: 5)

    This place is a nice rooftop bar 🥂 in Times Square! Bar 54 on the 54th floor of the Hyatt Centric Hotel 🏨 offers a wonderful selection of cocktails! 🍸 Definitely try the Hunch Punch 🍹 with Vodka. The staff 👨‍🍳 is friendly and service is quick. ⏲️ They have a nice view 🪟 of the city 🏙️ but their outdoor terrance was closed. I wish their prices were lower! 🏷️

  • Review 15 (2024-01-17 - Rating: 5)

    A great place for dating, drinks and tapas. They dont serve full meals. Views are very beautiful. Service is top-notch and drinks and food are very delicious.

  • Review 16 (2023-01-06 - Rating: 5)

    We walked into the lobby without reservation and the security personnel said they haven’t been told by the bar that reservations is a must at that time and let us in. Once we walked out the elevator, the host was welcoming and our waitress was nice, professional, not bad in any shape way or form. Our drink was $23 and $24 and yes that’s a lot and nothing special about the drink but still glad I went up there. Yes there’s a lot of buildings around you and we had low clouds that day so it could have been a lot better. If you don’t care for cocktails that much then just order your go to drink. I didn’t make a reservation due to the amount of open times that were available and decided to just walk in and that worked out well. Around 8pm.

  • Review 17 (2024-12-03 - Rating: 4)

    Nice view but small area outside if there are some people it’s hard to take picturesThe vibe is good , cocktails 🍸 are tasty

  • Review 18 (2024-10-20 - Rating: 4)

    Food and drinks were pricy, but thats to be expected for the novelty. The food we tried was all excellent though!!! Truly great food and dessert. The drinks werent bad. The view up there was really nice. They have glass walls though, to prevent idiots from idioting, and it kind of obstructs the view and makes it difficult to get pictures. There are small gaps where you can try to snag pics. Could see the tower lights from the 9/11 memorial area pretty well. Was a good experience.

  • Review 19 (2023-09-03 - Rating: 5)

    The best drinks and food ever for 4 years in the city!Sadly the outdoor area’s been closed, but anyway the view is stunning!The food is so delicious! Especially cheese knots and octopus!I ordered mango cocktail on mezcal base 🤤 if you love Mezcal for me it was one of the best combinationsWill definitely come back!

  • Review 20 (2022-03-19 - Rating: 4)

    Make a reservation otherwise youll be queing for ages at the bar, and have no where to sit. We only popped past and doorman let us in but got to the top and was waiting 15mins for a drink, and then justanaged to find a standing table out side. Its a nice place, with some great veiws but Was going to rate it 3 but the bar tender gave us a free whiskey, and the view was pretty good. Drinks again can be a bit pricey, but what you expect for a capital roof bar!

  • Review 21 (2024-09-21 - Rating: 5)

    We rate this bar a 5/5 mainly due to Gabby’s exceptional service. Our night started on a sour note when the host at the entrance refused to seat us because we didn’t have a reservation, despite the bar not being at capacity. After asking if we could take a few photos, he reluctantly agreed. I then tried again for a table, with the host barely acknowledged us he eventually told us to follow him to a table, leaving us very confused as to why we couldn’t be seated in the first instance.However, Gabby’s warm and attentive service made a significant difference in our experience. While the initial interaction with the host was disappointing, Gabby’s care turned our evening around. We may reconsider returning due to the initial experience, but Gabby’s service is worth highlighting.

  • Review 22 (2021-11-29 - Rating: 5)

    Even if you dont have a reservation, climbing up to the standing area if available is totally worth it for the view. Cocktails are pricey but pretty interesting and good. The food is meh, but the view is almost unparalleled.

  • Review 23 (2022-09-13 - Rating: 5)

    This rooftop bar is stunningly beautiful. Perfect atmosphere and view. I was here with my daughter to celebrate my birthday. The service is great! Bar 54 is a must see! Add to your list - you will be 100% satisfied! Reservations are required - must book via the Resy app.

  • Review 24 (2023-05-02 - Rating: 5)

    Best view of NYC you could possibly get! Great drinks and atmosphere. One of my favorite places in all of New York

  • Review 25 (2021-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Such an amazing rooftop lounge! The manager and all wait staff/bartenders (Thursday 12/09/21) were amazing! We were there on Thursday an it was fully booked. We have a table/spot on the bar, but we loved it, because we like to see the Personal-acting Manager, the helpful staff and especially the friendly funny bartenders make it particularly. The drinks were delicious. Made our last evening in New York perfekt. We love our stay in this bar. The view was unbelievable in this area! Highly recommend, but definitely make reservations if you dont want to be stuck in the standing room only area.If there will be a next time, definitely here, I hope we can meet each other once again, you all made our vacation unbelievable.Thank you so much

    The most amazing views and even better waitress, never got her name but from Eastern Europe and in New York the last 13 years or so, she took such good care of us!

    Great View over Times Square, but somewhat limited angles

  • Review 30 (2023-02-23 - Rating: 5)

    What a cool spot for a bar... the view was amazing! I had the sliders, which were cooked perfectly, and a few drinks. I had a gin and tonic that was not very impressive, but then I ordered a mule and was blown away. That had to be hands down the best mule Ive ever had! Next time Im in NYC Ill be back!

  • Review 31 (2020-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    Went here for the view and we got it. Omg, the view is to die for! Drinks were fine but honestly you don’t even pay attention to service and food when you have that view.

  • Review 32 (2020-01-12 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome service, views and great cocktails created by the staff. Just dont get the borough ones. The staff is so friendly and fun. They really listen. Super clean too.

  • Review 33 (2022-08-16 - Rating: 4)

    I visited in the late afternoon on a very hot and humid August day. Walk-in possible at around 5:30. Almost empty inside, few guests outside at that hour. However, outside full exposure to the boiling sun. Stunning midtown views, good drink and attentive service, but I was told I could only walk out on the terrace once my drink ($21) had been served. A bit strange when the place is so empty, but I fully understand they will have to make sure they are not run over by visitors who do not consume anything but are taking lots of selfies on the terrace...

  • Review 34 (2022-08-29 - Rating: 4)

    The rooftop bar is rated among the best in the city. Don’t go hungry, though! The food was sadly disappointing and overpriced for what was delivered. But the cocktails and views are absolutely incredible! Try the Purple Rain - think even Prince would be impressed!

  • Review 35 (2021-08-22 - Rating: 5)

    Despite the heavy storm and bad weather yesterday, we were not able to enjoy the view sitting outside, but we had a really great time sitting at the bar. Justin and Chris are great bartenders. Knowledge, cheerful, friendly and caring. Thank you, guys!

    Awesome rooftop to enjoy some cocktails and an incredible view.

  • Review 37 (2019-11-24 - Rating: 5)

    There are many rooftops in midtown Manhattan but not all of them do the right job with its privileged view. Bar 54, in that sense, seems to know how to keep it casual and relaxed while not compromising its classy components. Absolutely great view on the terrace.

  • Review 38 (2022-11-21 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing views, amazing drinks, and amazing staff. My friend and I sat at the bar and we left best friends with Jacques! I can’t recommend this bar enough! Next time I am in the city I might stay at the Hyatt just to have the bar right there.

  • Review 39 (2024-01-18 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 40 (2020-01-25 - Rating: 4)

    Great views and good drinks! Bar snacks for the table! We visited our first night at 1am, only to be told that they were closed. Google hours reflect open until 2am. We were hoping for last call after a great night and were disappointed to find them closed earlier then their posted closing time. Great spot if youre in Times Square!

  • Review 41 (2024-09-07 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best roof tops of New York City has to offer, the drinks are amazing, the view is incredible, if you are in New York City you have to go up there.

  • Review 45 (2019-08-27 - Rating: 5)

    I had read mixed reviews, but this is one of the best places in New York. You get a fabulous view of the city. You get great service and the appetizer and dessert options are perfect. I had the mango cheese cake! It is heavenly! Guess it has to be, considering how close to heaven you feel so high up in NY. I do reccomend reserving a table, specially on weekends. Trust me, you wont be disappointed. Do bring a sweater. It can get a little chilly.

    Yeah, I know that is bar but nothing to eat! I got burger! It was tasty! A lot of positions were in a out of order. Price is really expensive. They didn’t have a lot of people there. I was waiting for my waitress more then 15 minutes! Location is perfect! Place is good and beautiful! Only because of view you can come and get a drink:) I have a video , but I can’t add it :(

    Amazing rooftop bar in Times Square. You can see the whole city from Staten Island to 30 Rock. There was a wait when we arrived before we could go up, so plan for that. The service here was better than any tourist trap bar Ive been to and we never felt rushed. We began inside and once a table outside opened we were able to move onto the balcony. The prices were what youd expect, but we opted to get a pitcher which was a great deal anywhere when you calculate the price per drink. I definitely recommend visiting to anyone.

    First time, had to check it out for the photo opportunity, was not disappointed. Definitely would recommend for a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city life for a nice cocktail with great views.

  • Review 54 (2017-12-10 - Rating: 5)

    Very cool place to grab a drink or two and take in the city skyline.I was in the city recently and had a couple drinks here. Was impressed with the service, the drinks and best of all the view.I did not have anything to eat since I already had my dinner before arriving here but the menu looked great.Would recommend to anyone looking for something different from the usual NYC bars.

  • Review 55 (2021-09-21 - Rating: 4)

  • Review 56 (2024-05-07 - Rating: 5)

    A nice high-floor bar with the open, glass-lined patio. The musical selection is eclectic and tasteful; the music itself isnt too loud and intrusive, so its still possible to have a meaningful conversation.

    It’s too bad they had to put up the three panes of 9 foot tall glass around the balcony. It feels like you’re in a terrarium cage now. But otherwise the service was nice and the view was great.

  • Review 62 (2024-01-14 - Rating: 5)

    We were two, the viewpoint was amazing and the cocktails truly amazing. As you can expect: 4 cocktails and an aperitive platter cost us around $200. Thats still cheaper than the empire state viewpoint though, and youre sitting there with a drink.

  • Review 69 (2024-03-08 - Rating: 4)

    As the name would suggest, this rooftop bar is located on the 54th floor, so it is fairly high, but not the tallest. We went on a Sunday night just after 11 PM, which might explain why business was a bit slow, although the fact that only one of the three elevators worked might have also contributed to that fact: after waiting almost 15 minutes in the lobby, during which time several people decided to leave, we were finally directed to the service elevator and entered the bar through the kitchen (which was very clean by the way). From there, we made our way to the host, who then sat us at a nice table with a beautiful view. But even though the place was supposed to close at midnight, we were greeted with last call. The person who took our order disappeared with our credit card never to be seen again. Another server checked on us once, and a third closed out our check and brought our credit card back. Service was not bad, per se, it was just unusually anonymous and strangely impersonal. A glass of wine is $16 to $20, Cocktails are around $25, which is not bad for such a place in the middle of NYC, and they are absolutely delicious. We ordered two cocktails, took some pictures on the terrace overlooking the city, stayed about an hour and had a really nice time.

  • Review 73 (2022-05-21 - Rating: 4)

    Really nice place! It’s inside the Hyatt of Times Square. We didn’t have reservations but they let us in for the bar which we were grateful. it took about 30 min to get drinks—the bar was slammed, he was making drinks for the dine in guests as well. Other than that, the rooftop view of the city was great. The chairs outside had no padding so it wasn’t too comfy to sit. They add an automatic tip to the drinks. A glass of wine was $22, which is a bit pricey in my opinion. The food looked yummy though, I wish we could’ve eaten there!

  • Review 74 (2022-08-14 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 81 (2022-12-03 - Rating: 5)

    We hadnt reserved, but the super-friendly staff let us walk in for a couple of drinks at 4pm on a Friday. It goes without saying that this bar provides one of the best south facing views to accompany drinks in the city from its 54th Floor. The drinks were just above average in price, but not crazy, especially given the great service and well above average views. We felt a little cheeky at first going out and taking a few pictures, but to be fair everyone was at it so we joined in. Views aside, the bar had a nice feel and we enjoyed our stay, not once did we feel rushed to leave.

  • Review 82 (2022-12-06 - Rating: 5)

    This place was such a great spot to catch some amazing views. While I wish they offered more food options the drinks were fantastic. Its 21+ and requires reservations so make sure you plan ahead. Gino was amazing helping us with our reservation after a last minute schedule change. Definitely worth going to for a drink or 2 😁

  • Review 83 (2018-10-10 - Rating: 5)

    We showed up early for a few cocktails during the sunset.... BEAUTIFUL VIEWS! The vibe was great, the staff was amazing, the drinks were good, but expect to spend a lot of money here! We are from Michigan, so all of NYC is $$$ to us, but this place was about $100 for 4 drinks. Well worth the views and the vibe. We left after sundown and the line to get up the elevator was super long - glad we went early!

    Great after work spot to have a few cocktails and small bites. Cute bar that seats about six. Ample seats for dining that offers both an intimate night and beautiful panoramic views of the city. Service is quick and most of all food is delectable. Highly recommend!

  • Review 93 (2024-07-06 - Rating: 5)

    Overall this is a great place. The views are amazing, drinks are delicious, and small bites compliment them well. The atmosphere is relaxed yet playful all at once and the staff here are very friendly, kind, and go out of their way to ensure you have a positive experience. Shout out to Justin and Christina. They went above and beyond to provide the highest quality of service and hospitality. I definitely recommend this place. Its a great spot to chill with friends or relax after a long day with drinks and great views of the city.

    My new favorite rooftop bar in NYC!The view is breathtaking 😍😍😍Amazing cocktails and food!Friendly staff too. Definitely recommend!

  • Review 95 (2016-11-23 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing view! This is definitely worth visiting if its one of your first times in NYC (or even your 20th to be honest). Its a very modern layout and they utilize the small bar area very well. The bartender that served us was very nice and accommodating. My family was apprehensive at first (why go to a bar...), but once they saw the view they were happy they visited.

    Daughter brought me there for my birthday after a show. They were very accommodating, view was great, got to meet some really nice people. Drinks were delicious, paying over $113.00 for four was a wee bit much.

    We stayed at Hyatt Centric Times Square and Bar 54 is the adults only bar located at the top of the hotel. Reservations are required regardless if staying at the hotel or not, but its a painless online experience. Its a roomy indoor space with a very cozy outdoor patio with views of Times Square. Seating is very comfortable, with lounge chairs outside and couches inside, with lots of pillows around, gives me the feeling of hanging out at our bougie friends house. Servers are very friendly and helpful, and the bartenders are excellent at their craft. Drinks are pretty pricey, each cocktail hovers close to $20 each with shots of Patron being similar in price. Theres also beer, wine, and spirits made to your preference. Gratuity was included for our party of 3. Overall, its a great place to hangout with buddies with a spectacular view of the city.

    Really unique drink menu, something for everyone. The cost pays for the wonderful view and experience. Glass ranging from $18 to $40. Bottles seen from $90 to $365.Beautifully themed ceiling, tables, bill/check holders, comfy seats, dim romantic lights. A safe rooftop view with high clear baracades for safety. Maybe 20 to 40 seats near the view as well. Some were covered. Loved it!

    Nice bar. Surprisingly unpretentious. Typical prices for a rooftop bar in NYC. And speaking of rooftops...fantastic view looking south. Downtown looks spectacular framed by the BofA building and the H&M building. Id say this is in my top 5 favorite rooftop bars in the city. Definitely worth a drink or 2.

    Great place to grab a drink in down town NYC. The cocktails were unbelievable and everyone of the staff extremely polite!

  • Review 102 (2022-04-01 - Rating: 4)

    Tricky review to write because this place is one of a kind, and yet is had some serious drawbacks. The location and view is only thing keeping it from 3 stars. When we arrived, we were questioned about the texting services through Resy because apparently they were trying to only accomodate hotel guests due to light staff. That being said, we were still sat and treated well outside the hostess situation being a bad start to our experience. Drinks were delicious and you cant complain about price when the quality is their and includes their view of Times Square. What I dont appreciate, is we dined and drank in over 12 places and this was the only place that automatically incorporated a tip when it was only a party of 3. Dont like that it was not verbally disclosed to me or stated on Resy when booking. Plus, it was only 18%. Not a fair amount even for good service, I tip 25% and this discourages folks from tipping additional when its not disclosed and added to small parties.

  • Review 103 (2021-12-06 - Rating: 4)

    Definitely worth it! The drinks were good and the view was fantastic! I recommend it even if you go just for the view. There is a standing area that you can get in without reservation but you should make a reservation if you plan to get a table and eat.

  • Review 104 (2018-01-16 - Rating: 4)

    Great rooftop view, the prices upstairs are a little to high. But the atmosphere is dark and cozy. They have precautions for rain and snow, so you can still enjoy the outside deck.

  • Review 105 (2021-11-30 - Rating: 5)

    Spectacular views and really unique cocktails! Service was prompt and friendly. You need a reservation to get in, but I assure you that its worth it. Highly recommend!

  • Review 106 (2018-10-10 - Rating: 5)

    A dear friend was in town and had never been to a rooftop bar in the city before. In the Times Square area it’s hard to find a nice quality place with a view and good service but this bar delivered on all fronts.The view was spectacular, drinks quite good and our lovely server Morgan was incredibly helpful, attentive and professional. Go at sunset and with someone you cherish.

  • Review 107 (2018-07-30 - Rating: 5)

    Its amazing! Face to downtown Manhattan, especially world trade center. Price is resonable and service is good!

  • Review 108 (2022-07-15 - Rating: 5)

    My friend was visiting from Texas, & wanted to go to a rooftop bar, so my friend suggested this one. We made a reservation on resy (which is listed here on Google Maps) for the patio at 7:30; they required a $50 minimum per person, but thats easy with the cost of the drinks & food. It seems like they priced things in such a way that you have to buy 3 things. We ate beforehand, so we just opted to get 3 cocktails each. Our waitress was Jay, I hope I spelled that correctly. She was very knowledgeable & kind. They dont rush you to get drinks/food because they expect you to want to enjoy the full 90 minutes. The view was absolutely stunning! The 2 seater tables are right against the glass edge, so we got to see everything & take some fabulous pictures throughout our time there. They usually have new reservations every 90 minutes, but the people after us didnt show up, so we were able to see the sunset & moon rise... absolutely beautiful! You can see the NYE ball, both rivers, & straight through to the southern tip of Manhattan. At the end of the patio theres an area where they dont seat anyone so everyone is able to take pictures at the corner edge. Theres even a free binocular telescope on that end if you want to see the landscape more closely. I dont have the best hearing, but 54 floors up I couldnt hear the hustle & bustle of Times Square below. The drinks were tasty, & not watered down or over-juiced like I was worried they might be, but not so strong to get you drunk over 90+ minutes. For my 3 cocktails, & the included 18% gratuity, my tab was about $89. On our way out we decided to hang out a bit longer, so we sat at the bar & got one more cocktail with Jacques... he is an amazing bartender, both in personality & craft!I forget the name of the first drink I had... but they do change things up a couple of times a year for the season, so they arent all always available... but, the second drink was Purple Rain, the third was an espresso martini, & the last was Cloud 9. My friend had 3 dirty martinis which she said were really good & an espresso martini.

    Bartenders really bring the vibe and keep the energy up, and drinks are well made. Large bar space and large seating if you have a lot of people in your group.

  • Review 113 (2017-09-07 - Rating: 4)

    Very pretty and classy rooftop bar with a beautiful view. We reached early to take a seat at the edge and got one. The tables ( outside where you can sit and enjoy the view) are all reserved for those who need table service. If you just want to grab a drink from the bar you will have to sit inside. The only thing I did not like about this place. The drink menu is very good, obviously over priced. The view and vibe of this place is really good, good weather adds another 10 points to the experience.

    This bar is super underrated! For the tallest rooftop bar in New York City providing amazing views of the H&M building with a glimpse of the buzzing Times Square, our visit during prime time hours on July 4th weekend was hardly crowded. The ambiance and music were also perfect. Not to mention that the food, in particular the margherita flatbread and chicken sliders, exceeded expectations. Will definitely return one day soon!

  • Review 123 (2022-04-27 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 124 (2018-07-19 - Rating: 4)

    The views are spectacular and service was good. The fact they allow smoking in such a small space lost them a star for me. Still, its worth a visit for a pricey glass of something to enjoy the view. Side note: stop serving stale bar snacks.

  • Review 125 (2018-07-15 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 129 (2018-06-30 - Rating: 5)

    There is a long waiting list (about an hour), where you get to wait at the hotel lobby bar, pay an exaggerated peice for a cocktail qhich is not good at all, when eventualy you get to the rooftop bar and there is a waiting list there as well to move you from the inside of the bar to the outside part so you could see the view. The bar wouldnt be so good without the stunning view it has- thats the best (and only) part. Amazing view to all times square

    Wonderful experience, we were seated the moment we walked in. We didnt get a chance to try the food but had there deserts and enjoyed a few drinks while looking over the new York skyline from 54 stories above. The drinks are definately overpriced but youre paying for the view and the atmosphere. The desserts however were delicious. Easily spend a few hours here. Will pay a visit when in town again, the service is top notch !!

    Wowwwww! Such great service, food, drinks, and views!!! Making reservations was very easy, and once we arrived, we got accommodated with no issues. While our table was getting prepped, we went on the balcony to enjoy the views which were to die for! I also love the location. The skyline is beautiful, and Time Square is just right there! Highly recommend this rooftop bar if visiting the area.

    Great vibe, SPECTACULAR views, and good drinks. Only real problem was how expensive the drinks were. Higher than average even for Manhattan. Go for the ambiance, take some photos on the outside deck, then drink somewhere else!

  • Review 140 (2018-10-10 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect rooftop bar I imagine!!! Super excited here!!! This is just near broadway square in new your city!!! This is in Hyatt hotel. First you enters the hotel entrance, take left in front of the reception and just stop by the bar. Then ask the staff to visit the rooftop, so the staff ask your name and give you a card key. With it take an elevator up to the 54th floor and let the staff know your name!! Super kind staffs take care of you! It means you have to have some conversation to staffs on ground floor to get to the bar. The bar is awesome!!!! From 54th floor you can enjoy perfect view of the Manhattan!!! I can’t believe this is open air bar on 54th floor. So in any case you may drop some stuff from the fences so I felt like a little bit scared when I just glanced the ground from the floor. But perfect view with good cocktails I enjoyed good time and spend good time!!! Not too crowded so I think this may not be so famous one. So you can enjoy relatively calm bar atmosphere here!

  • Review 142 (2015-01-04 - Rating: 4)

    Amazing drinks...if price is not a factor then you must visit and have a few drinks while taking in the view of the city. The intimate layout is perfect for quiet conversation, and the terrace outside facing downtown provides amazing views. I had a couple beers (they could add some more choices here...I like true Belgian ales like Kasteel Donker) which were $11, and I asked the bartender to make me a favorite of his. He returned with a pre-prohibition drink called the New York sour. Amazing drink. Three drinks, amazing view, good music, and the outside terrace cost $55.
