What People Say

Guests rave about the breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline, cool rooftop vibes, and well-balanced cocktails. Many reviews appreciate the friendly bartenders and stylish setting, calling it a great place to start or end a night out. The relaxed yet upscale ambiance makes it a favorite for both locals and tourists. One common highlight? Watching the sunset over the city with a drink in hand before heading to a concert.

Areas for Improvement

While the views and atmosphere are top-notch, some guests mention that drinks can be a bit pricey, especially during peak hours. Seating can also be limited on busy nights, so arriving early is a smart move if you want a prime spot on the terrace. There’s no formal food menu, so this isn’t the place to grab a full meal—more of a cocktail-and-snack kind of stop.

The Bottom Line

The Crown is a stylish rooftop gem that gives concert-goers a scenic, social pre-show experience just minutes from NYC’s hottest venues.
