The best kept secret near Lincoln Center. Though they seem to have trouble keeping products in stock, the hospitality of the staff more than makes up for it. I go there any time before I see a show at Lincoln Center. The rooftop bar is great as well but is a little too stuffy for my taste.

Excellent location to have a chill drink and bites. Beautiful covered patio (12f). A place in NYC where you can have a drink and actually hear your friends :)

Drinks are sufficiently well mixed and the service polite and responsive. Nice cocktail-lounge atmosphere, (fake) candlelight, sofa-style seating. The important thing to note is how quiet it is. Conversation and drinks sre complementary and nyc bars are normally filled with drunken youths and would-be youths at fever pitch. Not so the Empire Lobby Lounge!

Great bartenders! Nice selection of sprits. Always a good, relaxed vibe.

Though the rooftop bar is the one with the scene, the Lobby Lounge is perfect for a martini or two. Its never crowded and totally sexy - forget martini, this stylish haunt should be your go-to haunt for illicit rendezvous of all stripes.

Step into this bar and youll feel like youve been transported into the lavish world of the Gossip Girl characters. Drinks on the menu are even named after them - we order the Im Chuck Bass.

Relaxed and friendly atmosphere for drinking good cocktails so the evening was good. The view is, in my opinion, not necessarily the prettiest rooftop in NY but the bar itself has a neat decoration and you feel good there.A must-have for Gossip Girl fans!

The view is superb and the atmosphere very relaxed. The place is splendid. On the other hand, the employees are stupid. Its a wonderful place to have a drink with friends. The music is not too loud which allows you to have conversations without needing to shout.
