Balcon Rooftop Bar

Found this rooftop on a whim when in the area. This rooftop is located in the Marmara hotel. I went up and there wasn't much ppl. I spoke to the bartender who said they were open and I was able to take a seat outside. Both the bartender and the waitress were kind and helpful. The drinks were really good! Midtown to drop prices for sure. The old fashion was smooth and a little sweet. The midnight martini (it had another name) was delicious and cute. I only tried the guac which I thought wasn't the best. It was missing more lemon or flavor in my opinion. Can't speak for other apps. If I came back I would try the Burrata. The view, ugh gorgeous! A reminder of how beautiful the city is.

MANHATTAN: a dog friendly rooftop bar? Yes please!Open seasonally, The Blue Rooftop is over 20 stories up with panoramic views of the NYC skyline!Leashed dogs are allowed and you can sip on a signature cocktail and order from their nice food menu.mmIt's a small outdoor lounge-y space with comfortable couches and some table seating.We were able to make it on one of their last days of the season and had the place to ourselves. The staff is cool and attentive too!Since the bar is outside, they are now closed for the season, but follow them on social media for updates.You can also enjoy the dog friendly One One Four Bar in the lobby of the building which is also the The Marmara New York hotel!

An intimate rooftop! It's definitely not your typical commercial rooftop in NYC. It feels very much like a rooftop of an apartment building (which it is). It's small but I enjoyed my time there.Food and drinks were really great. On the more expensive side but the building rents apartments for $11k so that makes sense ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ regardless I wasn't mad that the Burrata was $21 because it was yummy!

This place has great rooftop views. You aren't high above all the nearby buildings, but you're also not below -- you're right in the middle. It creates a beautiful effect where you feel like you're floating in a sea of lit windows.In terms of seating, it is a bit limited, and when we were there, there was a party that had reserved a bunch of the couches. We were relegated to the narrow side passageway, which was a squeeze for the six of us. The music was solid -- good rooftop vibes.In terms of the drinks, I personally didn't care for my cocktail all that much, but the guy gave me triple pour of cognac and undercharged us, so who am I to complain?

You are paying for the view, which to be fair is AMAZING. I ordered a $25 burger (extremely pricey) and asked for it medium rare with mozzarella cheese. it came well done with a single slice of kraft (?) american cheese. i also had a $10 can of beer. with tip, that's $42 for a very lackluster burger experience. we were also just about the only people on the roofdeck, yet our food took upwards of 45 min to arrive. If you want an incredible view of Manhattan, this will get you that, but man i will never come back here sorry!Oh also! They asked me for a credit card before the meal to open a tab, then closed out the tab and added 20% gratuity without communicating any of that to me, then instructedme to go downstairs for my receipt, at which point the (maskless) bartenders gave me the closed out rcpt and said I was good to go. The whole thing was weird, and non-communicative. I will say, the bartender/server on the rooftop was very friendly. But yeah the nonsense with the check....very unusual. They said "oh we don't have a printer up here" and I'm thinking...maybe with all the $25 hamburgers you can afford another printer.The final detail is there is only ONE one person bathroom, in the lobby area of the hotel, and in order to use it you have to go down 20 floors. All the other bathrooms are out of service. I feelbad for the people who work here...seems like a poorly managed establishment. The owners are clearly raking in the $ and not putting it back into the business. I hope they are paying their workers fairly!

Happy hour for $10 cocktails which is good for rooftop prices but everything else was mehhhhh. Good deal and views were nice but atmosphere was just meh. The rooftop is tiny so not a great place for standing while drinking. There's literally no room for that. You have to basically sit at a table for two on the side. Max 4 unless you get the plush chairs in front of the bar area. Service was meh too because of the layout of the rooftop. It get's narrow on the side and it just feels disconnected from everything else.

Newly opened rooftop under management of Marmara Park Avenue!Amazing views, nice and chilled Mediterranean cocktails and of course snacks!!! My personal favorite hummus and babaganush, and of course all the rooftop menus go to Guacamole (out of this world)Stop by check it out! New gem of Midtown!Dont thank me:)

One night when I was feeling blue, my friend, Laila invited me to go check out this place w her (lol! How fitting is the name though?!) She told me they have ample of vegetarian options and are super accommodating. The vibe was super chill! We had gotten lucky and had the PERFECT weather for this rooftop occasion. Staff was super friendly too.Since I rarely drink, the bartender made me a mocktail which was super refreshing! Pomegranate guacamole was well balanced w perfect ingredients fitting for all tastebuds (you had the avocado -- savory taste and sweet tangy taste of the pomegranate) hummus and babaganush were great too! I would like to see some vegetarian tacos on their menu in the future! I definitely went home feeling good and with beautiful memories embedded in my heart thanks to this place.

Great views, decent food. Good for an after work drink. And always a decent spot for a romantic getaway

Ambiance and the view! Also the best cocktails. As food recommendations hotdog, guac and turkey club was a hit.
