The views from the rooftop are absolutely breathtaking. It was a chilly night but the space was nicely heated. The space is well kept and clean. The drinks were perfect. We both had an old fashion. Definitely a must go place to have a drink and enjoy the views :).

We had an amazing time here. I was in NY celebrating my birthday and we came for an apps and cocktails deal we found on pulsd. We were fortunate to meet the Executive Chef who took care of us as if we were old friends. In the pic is the Hudson Valley cocktail which was nice and sweet just like I like em. I also had one with lychee which was real nice. In terms of apps, the beef satay skewers and the nachos were spot on. Nice views and cozy Instagramable photo opps abound. I def recommend

The atmosphere is nice. The floor is not that high, but you can see other high buildings around you. The prices are pretty big, but thats expected. I didnt expect I had to go to the bar to get drinks, there were no waiters.

Nice Rooftop bar. The views are pretty good, especially towards Hudson Yards.The prices are really great, there is a reverse happy hour beginning at 7 pm. Beers are 7$, Wines 9$ and assorted Cocktails 10$. Cant beat that in NYC at nights!

Spectacular view of the empire state building, friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.Make sure you are here right at sunset time if you want to see the empire state light up.When you arrive at the hotel, take the elevator on the right to the top floor (only one elevator takes you to the rooftop bar).

It was so convenient and nice to have a bar and lounge area in the same hotel. Drinks were delicious and food was great. Would definitely recommend. Thanks to Wilmington for his great customer service

Nice rooftop, maybe 10 people here Saturday night 10pm. See The Edge, lots of warmers up here, and the bartender torched my old fashion 10/10.

Incredible hidden gem in the heart of midtown. Anne & Mateus have looked after us beautifully. Warm, friendly, AMAZING views ❤️🍏

Review 11 (2023-09-12 - Rating: 5)
This rooftop bar was one of the reasons we picked this hotel when booking this trip. We wanted a central hotel, and someplace to wind down at night after walking around all day. This bar was perfect. It wasnt too crowded, the staff was nice, the views were great. There were little placards around the rooftop to tell you what you were looking at, and games on some of the tables to play

Review 12 (2023-12-28 - Rating: 5)
Vibes are so good! They have igloos set up on the rooftop to keep you warm and a basket of blankets and heaters! Sebastian was a great server

Stunning views of NYC . Tables and sofas and chairs to lounge in . Super friendly staff and the executive chef , Joab , made outstanding appetizers and came out to make sure everything was just perfect. Coming back here our next visit to NYC most definitely!

Amazing food, atmosphere & service. The view is absolutely incredible! With the empire state infront of you this is an amazing place to relax, grab a drink or a bite. Definitely recommend

Wonderful place and impeccable service! The boss and staff are very attentive and polite. I highly recommend it!

Anne made the best Vue180 martini! The rooftop bar has the best views/drinks/ and appetizers! Plus, live music on certain evenings 🤩 great way to end the night!

Review 18 (2024-06-17 - Rating: 5)
Had a very good drink and the food was also good. The lobster Mac was really good and the wings were decent. The view was surprisingly great and we went before it got crowded, so it was very very chill. Will return soon

When I tell you this place is a great spot for a pre-game or just an after work hangout.It’s amazing!! And everything you could want in a restaurant with a good Instagram worthy photo.The staff makes you feel like you are a regular. They are so attentive and kind.The happy hour drink specials are good too.The steak satay is marinated to perfect and so good for a quick bite. I would have posted a pic, but I ate it too fast lol.This place is nice and what you need for a pre or work ending day.Be patient with the people elevator though.P.S.the views are amazing.Pic with Joab (executive chef of the restaurant) pic is below.

Great place to enjoy the Newyork skyline without the crowds. Amazing views. You can actually spend a relaxing evening and have a conversation.Limited menu but the cocktail are good.No entry fee.

Review 30 (2024-03-03 - Rating: 4)
On a warm sunny day this place is fabulous, but the indoor component of the bar is very small, so don’t bother coming on a cold or wet day. Views are great though and if you are saying in the hotel, you must make the effort to visit.

Review 31 (2023-11-18 - Rating: 5)
Amazing cocktails in a wonderful atmosphere. It’s a must visit place when in NYC!

Review 32 (2024-11-17 - Rating: 4)
Lovely views, particularly at dusk. Expensive though for drinks ($20+ each, so we made one each last!) but then much of NYC is. Comfy seating and heat lamps for when it is chilly. Only one of the three hotel lifts goes there and if you get one of the others, you cant get to the rooftop bar via stairs - AND there is no call button for the lift apart from on the ground floor! A major flaw...

Review 33 (2023-10-09 - Rating: 5)
Great view of the Empire State building. Heating lamps outside to keep it very comfortable. Drinks are priced similar to bars in the area. Bartenders were friendly.

Review 34 (2023-12-11 - Rating: 5)
Vue 180 is great! It’s pouring rain and we’re in the outdoor igloo loving it. The bartender is very welcoming and wonderful. We’ll definitely come back.

Stayed at the Hilton below and this was the perfect get away from our room at night. The view is wonderful and the service is great. We were sold on the heated igloos!

Certainly! Heres a review for Heavens Top and Mule drinks:Heavens Top and Mule drinks are a heavenly delight that left me thoroughly impressed. The combination of these two cocktails is a match made in mixology heaven. Heavens Top, with its smooth and silky blend of top-shelf vodka, elderflower liqueur, and freshly squeezed citrus, offers a touch of elegance with a refreshing twist. The Mule, on the other hand, brings a zesty kick with its spicy ginger beer and a hint of lime.When these two exceptional drinks are served side by side, its a sensory experience like no other. Heavens Top is a perfect prelude with its subtle sweetness and citrus notes, paving the way for the Mules bold and spicy flavors to follow. The copper mugs theyre served in keep the drinks ice-cold, enhancing the overall experience.Together, Heavens Top and Mule create a harmonious duo, balancing sophistication with a touch of zest. Whether youre seeking a refined sipper or a bold and refreshing kick, this combination is a must-try for anyone looking to elevate their cocktail experience. Cheers to a heavenly delight!

Best Long Island Iced Tea I’ve ever had, and I’ve had quite a few. Pricey, but certainly WORTH IT!!!

A hidden gem of a rooftop bar and snack food. The servers are excellent. The bar is well stocked. The bartender was busy but very efficient and she does know how to make the drinks. The views of the Empire State Building are amazing. This is a Hilton property.

A magical rooftop immersed in the heart of Manhattan on the 30th floor. Matias the best host! Heated igloos for 10/12 people are perfect now that the cold is coming.

Review 107 (2024-04-12 - Rating: 5)
This rooftop was the best I have visited, my wife and I went on our wedding night and it was impressive. The drinks were super good and the quality of the food was 10/10!! The bartender Matias was the best because he made us a drink that we asked him if he could make and he made it for us. The VIEWS are breathtaking because you can see the Empire State and many more beautiful buildings. We will be back soon!

Review 108 (2023-11-05 - Rating: 5)

Incredible views and a quiet and beautiful place. Views of the empire state included. Terrace that belongs to the Hilton hotel.

Review 110 (2023-09-13 - Rating: 4)
Very good views, on the rooftop of a hotel. As its name indicates, you can see 180 degrees and they have signs that indicate what you are seeing (the Hudson, the empire...)Good place to go watch the sunset and have a cocktail.They dont serve at the table, you have to order your drink at the bar. But the waiters were very friendly.It needs some maintenance but I recommend it.

Review 111 (2024-09-02 - Rating: 5)
Beautiful place to have a cocktail and relax. It is small but offers a pleasant atmosphere and has very nice views of the city, especially at sunset and at night.
