Many appreciate the reasonably priced drinks for a rooftop bar in NYC and the friendly, accommodating staff.

Areas for Improvement

The indoor seating is limited, so on colder or rainy nights, space can be a bit tight. Some reviewers note that the food menu is more snack-focused—great for drinks and bites, but not quite a full dinner option. Also, the elevator ride to the rooftop can be a little slow during peak hours.
