    This place is such a hidden gem 💎 in NYC! When visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art 🎨 look for the elevator that leads to the roof. The roof has an ever-changing display of sculptures 🗿 Go in the afternoon for a marvelous view of Central Park 🏞️ and Midtown 🏙️ - so iconic! 🌇 Great spot to grab some Instagram-worthy pictures 📸 I wish it was open more often (and that the elevator was easier to find)!

    Very nice view of the nyc skyline. Relaxing atmosphere and great place to enjoy drink after viewing the collection downstairs.

    Perfect spot to start your MET experience. Beers overlooking the park.

    Ive been to the Met numerous times. At first I wasnt aware about this rooftop access. Then I knew about it but never remembered to make it a stop. I finally made it today thanks to The Roof Garden Commission: Lauren Halsey exhibit!The rooftop (elevator to the 5th level) has a good view of the West Side skyline across the Central Park. Itd have been worth a stop by itself, but now with Lauren Halleys Egyptian themed exhibit, the wow factor has more than doubled. We spent a good 30 minutes to soak it all in.There is an outdoor bar right next to the entrance. You exit at a different door which leads to stairs down to the 4th floor instead of elevators. I didnt ask but I would presume a wheelchair bound person would be allowed to exit from the entrance.

    Use the side entrance on 8th if you live in NYC for quicker access.The bar opens late May.Amazing views and they had this artist Egypt exhibit that was so cool! Great views!

    A visit to the Cantor Roof Garden Bar at the Met Museum is an absolute must. Not only can you enjoy a captivating exhibit, but the panoramic views on offer are nothing short of breathtaking. While we didnt indulge in any drinks, the overall ambiance and setting were truly splendid. Heres a tip: make the most of the extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays, as the museum remains open until 9pm. The evening hours present the rooftop in its most enchanting light, although be prepared for sizable crowds. During our recent visit last week, the space was brimming with visitors, attesting to its popularity.

    Ive noticed no one has recently added the menus. This is up to date as of May 26th 2023. The drinks do get you drunk. I ordered two and felt it. Rooftop is always beautiful. Great scenery.

    Great views of the city and if you time it right you will see a spectacular sunset. Drinks are pricey so be prepared to pay.

    Always love the rooftop at The Met. Was slightly disappointed that they didnt have their cocktail bar set up yet when we went, but overall great place for Central Park views. Interesting new installation to see as well.

    The sun sets was great party!

  • Review 11 (2022-09-06 - Rating: 5)

    Totally WORTH IT. The MET in itself is worth visiting, and this is a nice bonus at the end of the exploration. The views of the city from here are amazing and I’m happy with the basic drinks and snacks they offer.I can see how it would not be worth it if you’re looking to go to only the rooftop with the tickets, however, I do suggest checking out the museum (or at least their new exhibitions). They really do not disappoint.

    It’s a beautiful place

  • Review 13 (2022-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    Great views of the building lining up along the Central Park. Would like to check out the same during the fall colors.

    Can get a bit windy and hot, the line to the bar is long, but the view is spectacular.

  • Review 15 (2022-07-14 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent place to enjoy at the Met Roof Garden Bar watching the sunset over New York with a chilled wine or beer.

  • Review 16 (2021-12-26 - Rating: 5)

    Best view of Central Park! Don’t forget to visit during when you go to the Met!

  • Review 17 (2022-05-23 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome view of the city, very crowded of course but not an issue.

  • Review 18 (2024-05-25 - Rating: 5)

    The rooftop is one of the most mesmerizing places in all of New York

  • Review 19 (2023-04-12 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place, havent been there for some years but long for next opportunity. Its the view and atmosphere that gets the score / grade, not the drinks or food.

  • Review 20 (2020-07-27 - Rating: 5)

    This is one of the highlights of the museum. Only open during the warm months. Great views all around Central Park and of the skyline along Central Park South and Central Park West. Every year a new work of art or collection of pieces. All are very contemporary. I am not usually too impressed by The Works up here. But it is fun just to come up.

    Amazing view of Central Park!

  • Review 22 (2023-05-26 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent view of central park

  • Review 23 (2018-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    It has the best view in the city because it’s not too high where every thing looks like a dot. And the veiw is unobtstucted for the most part because of the openness of Central Park. Here’s where you fly just above the trees.

  • Review 24 (2018-08-29 - Rating: 5)

    Great rooftop to relax and see the city after visiting The Met. No seating and little shade but an unbeatable view. You can get sandwiches and drinks at small counter serve locations.

    Great museum and views from the roof are wonderful but too many tourists not covering their mouth and nose with their mask. Frustrating...

    You really have to go there. This allows you to have a superb view of Central Park and NYC. It combines with a visit to the MET and it’s so good.

    A good restaurant in the Metropolitan Museum on the fourth floor.

  • Review 36 (2022-07-06 - Rating: 4)

    I loved the vibe, the view and the music of this place. Very expensive drinks and reduced hours so it is recommended that you check what time they close.

  • Review 37 (2022-06-22 - Rating: 5)

    The moment you arrive at the Met Museum Rooftop Bar, you cant help but exclaim, Wow. We guide you through the panoramic view of Manhattan in the most comfortable way. The charm of New York that you can find anywhere.

    Well, sipping an aperitif on a roof garden with this spectacular view is an experience you can only have in New York, and I can say Ive experienced it. I dont remember what I took, even the water wouldnt have diminished the sensations I felt.

  • Review 39 (2019-08-18 - Rating: 4)

    Exceptional view from the METs 5th floor terrace. There are no tables to sit on. There are only 3 bars serving a limited list of cocktails (in a small glass) for $17 or bottles of water for $4.
