Bijoy the bartender was great. We rarely give 5 star reviews. This place deserves 5 star for views and very nice bartender and the outdoor downtown and uptown views maybe best in the city. No Joke! This is probably one of the greatest city bar views in the world. -

Decent drinks with a great view of uptown. There are actually two decks, the main one facing uptown and another over past the restroom that faces downtown.Nice atmosphere. Was not crowded on a Sunday night.Tried the pumpkin spice espresso martini and the Singapore sling. Not out of this world drinks but better than most places. Then menu has a good variety though. -

Great place to go for a good view of the city. They have two different balconies with fantastic views. The bar area is pretty small but it is cozy and has a great vibe. The drinks were good and moderately priced. The bartender was super friendly and so were the bouncers. The elevator moved super fast. I would go back and you should check it out if you are in the area. -

Solid rooftop with killer views of Midtown, Hudson Yards, and even the Brooklyn Bridge. The music’s pretty mellow (not a party vibe) but it keeps things chill and cozy. Drinks are $20-$25, which is kinda steep, but honestly worth it for the scene and the quality. Definitely a go-to for a laid-back night with amazing views of the city. -

I had a wonderful night here. I didn’t get the food, but the cocktails were wonderful. One of them was a little spicy, but the cosmo was perfection. The views the vibes and the service were all on point. Excited to come back the next time I’m around china town. -

We had our wedding ceremony on the smaller rooftop terrace. We had a vision of how we wanted this day to take place and that’s exactly how it happened. The staff went above and beyond to deliver. All our guests had an an incredible experience and for us it was a dream come true. -

Best rooftop views of the city. On the pricier side but worth it. Atmosphere is perfect for dates or hanging out with friends. Getting a reservation beforehand will help. Sometimes the entire place will close down for an event so calling beforehand never hurts. -

Really a wonderful place for a excellent and wonderful view to big🍎.Sometimes it’s really crowded and you have to take (your) time to enter. The food was also not so expensive. The drinks🍹🍸 🧉need definitely some more alcohol 😉 -

Lovely somewhat less popular spot for the best views of the city & surrounding Skyline! The employees are kind and they often have events on weekends. The rooftop lounge and terrace is absolutely beautiful. -

We really loved the location and the views from the balcony. We visited in winter on a weekday, and there were hardly any people. But the views… They exceeded our expectations. We will definitely come back in warmer weather to enjoy the cozy balcony seating.🌉🌉🌉 -

The Crown is a great rooftop bar in Chinatown with spectacular views of the city. Great location too if you are planing to bar hop (lots of other cool bars in the area)! The ambiance was great and the music was fun. Everyone there was with a small group so definitely a great spot for a date night or catching up with a friend. Id recommend just getting drinks and skipping the food here as its definitely overpriced - chips and guac is $18 for a pretty small portion. Still a great bar and worth checking out if you are a local or just in town to visit! -

One of my new favorites in this neighborhood. Sweeping views of the city, with a normal staff that doesnt have attitude like many of the typical clubs. Good drinks and apps. -
Review 16 (2021-07-07 - Rating: 5)
Lovely view, yummy food, and pleasant vibes. We were staying at the attached hotel - great experience. Hostess squeezed us in for a 45 minute time slot on the rooftop deck / terrace / patio when we walked up at roughly 7:15pm on a Monday evening. We were the youngest couple (not by much, mind you) but there was a solid mix of late 20s through mid 50s. Beautiful date night or photo spot. -

The Crown Rooftop in New York offers an incredible rooftop experience with stunning views of the city skyline. The ambiance is trendy and stylish, making it a great spot for both social gatherings and romantic evenings. The cocktails are expertly crafted, and the menu features delicious small plates. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a top-notch rooftop bar in NYC! -

Review 25 (2024-07-31 - Rating: 5)
The Crown is honestly the place to be. Whether it be a weekday or a weekend. I was here on a Tuesday night and the place was popping with music just loud enough that you didn’t have to yell during your conversation but to keep the atmosphere going.Getting seated took literally no time as Campbell the host showed us to our seats and let us know that our waitress Krysten would be with us shortly. I love how laid back the vibes were even at such a classy establishment. Even though they were on top of the service, I didn’t feel rushed.Krysten served our first round of drinks which was the “Hot n Proud” which had just the right amount of kick with a passionfruit flare. If you like things on the spicier side, I’m sure you would be able to ask for some extra spice.As said earlier, we didn’t feel rushed when we finished our first round of drinks. Krysten casually came over and asked if we wanted another round where we ordered the “Jade Rabbit”. This was essentially a Lychee Martini. As someone who doesn’t normally like/tolerate the taste of vodka, I have to give it up to the bar staff for perfectly balancing this drink. It was mouth wateringly tasteful of the lychee while still having a kick of the alcohol.Finally we had the “Hugo Spritz” which was the best way to end off the night. It was light, florally, refreshing, but not too sweet. Which can normally be the case with St. Germaine drinks. This is definitely a great summer night drink.Definitely would be coming back to try more of the drinks and some food too. Special shout out goes out to the wait staff team of Ben, Depok, and Antonio for consistently keep our table free of glassware beside our drink and water cups. -

The rooftop is good but a small one it gives you the eastern downtown view ..I would say there are far more better rooftops in nyc so this wouldn’t be my first option ..limited options for wines and food too …the service is good and ambience also good ..maybe I tried out better rooftops before coming here so wanted to try something new!! -

Super fun bar! I loved the vibe, low light lodge style. My friend used to come here all the time and says theyve updated. The staff is great. Jasmine was awesome and answered all my questions. The menu was off beat, all the way from pork belly to cup of noodles. Ill definitely be back. -

I LOVE this bar! It is a nicer scale bar so make sure you are wearing appropriate clothing. Drinks are pricey (because look at this view!) but delicious and definitely worth it. I love the classic margs. If you only plan to visit one rooftop bar in the city - make it be The Crown! -

The Best view. i have never been served in such a professional way before at any other place in nyc. Super friendly people.Ask for Chantelle she is very kind, helpful and elegant.They can work more on there food menu but all over great experience. -
Review 32 (2023-01-11 - Rating: 5)
Great selection of drinks and whiskey. Even the rare ones like Hibiki were available. You pay for the view though, dont forget it.Service is friendly and attentive. If the guys would adapt the habit of Japanese barkeepers (polishing glasses while not serving instead of chatting, dancing around or having drinks), this would add more class to the bar. But its just nitpicking at this point. -

A+ Services. Rooftop bar with amazing views.. I think the view its a lot better than rooftops in midtown..some of the midtown rooftops situated in the middle of bdlgs..thus the view are obstructed. Here u see s more of horizon views. Again services are amazing.. we went in before they were open, and they still welcomed us... Great at introducing drinks. -

Great views and love the concept. As a hotel guest, saving a few tables for visitors would be nice. Avoid later on weekends where it becomes a loud nightclub (unless of course that is your deal). -

Really cool bar on the roof of Hotel 50 the Bowery.We went up a few different times evening, night and when it had just opened after lunch.Drinks were really good and the sofas in the afternoon having a few drinks enjoying the view was really enjoyable.Really good cocktails and and the staff were engaging and friendly. -

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this charming establishment nestled in the heart of Chinatown, and I must say that the views it offers are simply breathtaking. From the moment you step inside, you are treated to a mesmerizing panorama that showcases the vibrant beauty of the surrounding area.The venue itself is exquisitely designed, with attention to detail that perfectly complements the atmosphere of Chinatown. The decor blends seamlessly with the cultural heritage of the locale, immersing visitors in a delightful fusion of tradition and modernity.When it comes to the drinks, I must admit that they leave something to be desired. While the selection is not as extensive or innovative as one might hope, the quality of the ingredients is undeniable. The cocktails are well-crafted, and the bartenders display skill and knowledge in their craft, ensuring a pleasant drinking experience.However, the true allure of this place lies in its ambiance and the awe-inspiring vistas it offers. Its an ideal spot to unwind, socialize, and appreciate the mesmerizing sights that Chinatown has to offer. Whether youre catching up with friends or enjoying a moment of solitude, the panoramic views make for an unforgettable backdrop.If youre looking for a place to savor delightful drinks in Chinatown, you may find the selection somewhat limited. Nevertheless, the overall experience of this venue is worth it. The views alone make it a must-visit spot, and you can easily complement your visit with a beverage of your choice to enjoy the best of both worlds. -

I went with my spouse, we ordered drinks, between the 2 of us we spent $40+ on 2 drinks, which isnt unreasonable for New York (as far as we have gathered), the view is stunning! We didnt look at the food menu. I had a Moscow Mule, which was tasty, and my spouse had a Jack Daniels on the rocks, which he enjoyed. I would recommend going here for the view, and a nice city view pairs well with drinks in my opinion. The staff was great, attentive, and pleasant. -

Beautiful view...great atmosphere. Service was lacking. Was reprimanded for leaning against my husband in the chaise lounge area with my ariat boots touching the precious couch. We were here celebrating our 31st anniversary staying at 50 bowery hotel. Having an intimate conversation until we were interrupted by someone that wasnt even our server, telling me to sit up and remove my feet from the chaise. I didnt even understand at first what she was saying. I always want to respect every place I visit...and leave better than what I find. We left early....feeling disrespected. Please remove the lounge furniture if you dont want people to lounge. -

This rooftop bar gives you amazing views of eastern Manhattan. You can see multiple bridges in the distance as you listen to 2010s rock and drink well-flavored cocktails. I got a Negroni and an Espresso Martini. It is a few blocks from multiple subway stops. Even as it got later in the night I didnt feel like it was too busy. -

The beauty of the pup inclusive rooftop bar are the dual (dueling?) exposures. To the north views of the Empire State and uptown, on the other side one has sunshine / sunsets and the Freedom Tower.

Actually a really wicked spot to catch a great view of the city while grabbing a drink. Came on a Thursday and definitely had more of a club vibe than I wanted (live DJ, etc. while I came in casual clothes looking for a quick drink, but thats my fault for not looking it up) but the drink was very good. I had some kind of tequila cocktail with pear and grapefruit, would recommend. View is spectacular, 50 Bowery has to be the tallest building for many blocks so if a view is what you want on the neighborhood, this is the spot.Cocktails are a hefty price if youre not from here, 16 bucks each, but theres definitely a rooftop premium in that price. They serve some apps on the menu which I didnt try, and bottle service starts at about $300 if you want to grab take service (plus 20% auto grat). DJ was playing general feel good tracks, around 8:30pm when I was in there. Loud inside but the outside was pretty quiet as it was end of November.Overall, would recommend but you should definitely know what youre getting into. Expect a club vibe with pricey (but delicious!) drinks with a really great view. -

Lovely views. I didnt love that there was a requirement to buy food, especially since we came right after dinner for drinks and we were stuffed so we basically just had to order some food to go to waste. Some staff tried to social distance and some people were just not getting it. The front door person tried to put 2 of us in a small elevator with 4 other people. Amongst ourselves, we politely offered to take separate cars up. Two drunk guys (no masks) on the patio kept going up to other tables and the staff did not do anything about it, but one table of girls told them to cut it out. The server who helped us seemed overworked and just *done* with dealing with customers. It seems like it was probably a tough night. The drinks were normal Manhattan price, cocktails starting at $15-18 and up from there. They were not very fancy but they tasted good. Overall I think I would go back probably once they did not have to deal with COVID restrictions bc it seems to be putting a big strain on the mood. Also I would recommend a reservation. -

I dont think Im their target demographic, but before 9, you can bring kids in, and all the beautiful, tall sharply dressed staff were super friendly. In another life Id be happy to put on some real shoes and spend a proper evening up there. Its on the top floor of the currently-northern/eastern edge of high rise lower Manhattan, so the views from the roof decks (plural!) are out of this world. If you hadnt been to NYC in a decade, you almost wouldnt recognize the Candyland Midtown silhouette. But thats for a different review. -

Review 101 (2021-10-09 - Rating: 5)
I accidentally stumbled across this place 5 years ago while they were still under construction , the security officers outside offered us to go up to see the views, and it has been my favorite place in the city since ! The vibes there are amazing, the DJ never disappoints, the drinks are pricey but good, and of course the two terraces with views of the whole city landscape are unmatched. -

I love this place and I love taking a friend from out of town here because it has great views, and right in Chinatown so if you wanted to get some food late in the night, we can. The crowd is still pretty young and the music is so-so but great for a cocktail and some conversations!!! -

Cool spot to chill and hang out with friends. I had no idea there was a rooftop bar in Chinatown until I came here for my friends birthday. The views pretty nice, there are 2 outdoor sections and it gets pretty busy throughout the afternoon. Most people just stand around to chat app its fine if you cant get seats. -

Review 125 (2020-03-11 - Rating: 5)
So during the after party of two of my good friends wedding, I hit the point where I decided that it was that time when nothing else good could result during the evening. So, I Houdinied as Im prone to do at such moments. Of course I left my credit card (despite actually closing out my bill) and overcoat. The next day I returned to try and locate said property tail between my legs. The bartender remembered me of course because who closes out their tab and then leaves their card? He also got my jacket for me, which still had qi charger in the pocket. Most importantly he treated me with respect that I probably should have lost. That is classy. Period. Add to that great views and reasonably priced whiskey for NYC and Im sure Ill be back on my next visit. Thanks guys for being professional even when I wasnt. -

We visited the Crown after my wife found the bar on Google. We had some time to kill before flying back to the UK that evening. The views were fantastic. A great unobstructed view of mid town. Prices were high but we expected it as its Manhattan and its a hotel rooftop bar. Will definitely visit again next time Im in New York. -

My must go to place with out of towners! Two blocks down from my house I can practically come here everyday, this is truly in the heart of Chinatown but the view from The Crown is amazing from the see Two Bridges, East River to Midtown. The Dragonfruit cocktail by far is signature drink! So go bring your friends, Sunday evening are best time. -
