I was amazed by the beautiful view of Manhattan, in particular, the Empire State Building. Apart from the view I can't really rave about anything else. The service was below average, the drinks expensive, and it was very crowded. We didn't have heaters where we were seated, so it was freezing. I have rated it 4 stars only for the... More

We went there for drinks on a Saturday night. The view is indeed nice but it was terrible from every other aspect: very touristy, too crowded with drunks who would even trip and fall in front of you, lousy music and expensive. Maybe it's good for a coffee, but definitely not our scene for a drink. More

A realy nice place to have a cocktail (though might be a bit over priced) as the view is just amazing especialy when on the terasse outside. During colder nights they have an outside heating and provide coats. There is no dresscode so even after a day of walking around in your trainers there is no issue to get in.... More

Read a lot about this place so had to check it out. When we arrived around 8pm it was so busy we were crammed into a small table beside many others. We stayed for a quick drink and then moved on. Worth it for the view but not much else. Service was slow. More

What better way to spend a sunny sunday afternoon than chilling out with some of the best views a bar in new york can give??? The one downfall of the empire state and top of the rock is that we all thought it would be nice to chill out with a nice cold beer whilst taking in the scenery and... More

They ripped me and my friends off, charging my card despite the fact that we paid cash. They refused to credit me and suggested I contact my bank instead (!). So 6 beers ( not cheap to start with) for the 3 of us ended up costing us 2 x $54..not worth the view I'll say! More
