Bar SixtyFive

I booked tickets for the Valentine's Day dinner special a month and a half in advance. When I was filling out the forms, under requests I mentioned that I would like a table by the window if possible.We got there and the whole thing was weird. First, there was an event/concert and the lines where long. The security asked us to check our coats. I was cold and I wanted to keep mine a little longer. He basically forced us and walked us to the coat check counter. The lady behind the counter said " oh no, you have to check the coats. It's standing room only. You won't have space around you for all that" I said, how come if I booked my table in advance and this is supposed to be a dinner. I'm not going to eat standing. She kept arguing her point and we gave up. A nice girl in the main floor guided us to the elevators. We arrived to Bar SixtyFive and the hostess seemed a little lost, couldn't find my name and was kind of mean.Another girl walked us to the table and sat us by the door table. I asked her how come we are not seated by the window because I added that special request when I booked my tickets. She said she wasn't the boss and that she couldn't do anything. Then she said " you can go to that table accross and take pictures of the view there" how dare you that you will go to another table and bother people who also paid their money to eat quietly.We sat there and no one came or even said a word. I was angry and didn't want to seat there. There were other tables by the window empty. Finally, the hostess decided to move us to the table by the window. Everyone and their moms had their coats and their belongings with them. Long story short, the service was terrible. There was a girl checking on all the tables except ours. Thank goodness she wasn't our waiter. We arrived to the place at 6:25 and finally received table/food service at 7:13. Our assigned waiter was nice. He was attentive and cool. I give him 5 Stars.I had this review on Drafts for a long time. Posting now as I got access back to my Yelp account.

I can't really leave a review we went to the building to go up to the bar, but we were told by concierge's that after Covid unfortunately they closed down and are not open to the public. I wish that information was more clear on yelp so we wouldn't have gone all the way across town to a bar that was closed. But I did hear they are open for private events.

Gorgeous view of the city... You can almost enjoy the 360 degree view.. it's a great place to visit specially for tourists. You rather visit this bar and enjoy the gorgeous Manhattan view over a few drinks than spend money on going on top of the rock. They have a good selection of cocktails and appetizers that are well priced and affordable considering this is a very high end bar.Every visit to this place is delightful.. must visit for locals and tourists

I totally forgot to leave a review here but here I go! 2 1/2 years later and I still feel the same. You really CAN'T go wrong with a bar on the 65th floor. It's the only one available and the workers are super professional and take care of their guests. It is elegant and the ambiance goes well with the skyline views. The prices are reasonable for the area. I didn't eat any of the food but it sure did look good!

I love scoping out bars way up high, where you can get a drink and a great view! It certainly beats waiting in line for an hour plus for an observation deck. My friend and I came and easily spent an hour here, chatting and taking in the beautiful skyline of New York. I'd aim to come around sunset so you can experience New York both during at dusk and when it is dark. Unfortunately, it was drizzling out when we went so the patio was closed. The drinks are OK. I had a champagne cocktail that lost a bit of its carbonation. Not worth $20, but then again the view was worth much more. Make sure to check out the bathrooms!

The Quick: The view and the instagram opportunities! The Details: although I Cannot comment on the food, and obviously the drinks are pricey (~$19 each) it's worth visiting at least once to see manhattan lit up. Dress code isn't too strict but men must be wearing a collar (although sneakers / jeans seem to be okay). Pro Tip-- there's an H&M near by if needed.The Damage: $23 for one drink (after tax and tip) but worth it for the view and ambience

~views~I've had some good bar foods and overpriced cocktails the couple times I have been here. Walk-ins are welcomed as long as you don't automatically expect to sit and dine. Just grab something from the bar and snatch a standing table or head outside to the terrace.But just like everyone else had said, the things you really come to Bar SixtyFive for are the beautiful panoramic views of New York City all lit up and the social scene.So ladies, put on something you feel great in and let that wind run through your hair while you sip on an expensive cocktail on the top of the world (rock)!

Pricey little spot, but WOW THE CITY VIEWS ARE ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Might be one of the best views you could find, especially around sunset. It's also not too difficult to get a reservation here for a small party. Cocktails are great too, but they are all about $20 each. We didn't eat here, but the food looked tasty. I would recommend this if you have any friends or family visiting from out of the city and want to show them a great nighttime view! Or if you simply want to take a date here to flex :P

Breathtaking views of NYC. Waited in line to go up to the top of Rockefeller Center but it was worth the half hour wait. Enjoyed two appetizers, a delicious cheese plate with a nice variety of cheeses, nuts, jam and honey and a basket of crackers. Also enjoyed the flatbread with a mound of mushrooms.

Took girls out for a memorable night on the town. My Dallas crew was floored by service and view of the city
