Dear Irving on Hudson Rooftop Bar

Really beautiful interior and views. The type of place you sit in and think wow, I really live here, this is crazy! A NYC experience. Even all the way on the rooftop this place still has a cozy setting that isn't overly stuffy. Good cocktails that didn't feel like they were skimping. I'd gladly come back any day.

Views and vibe: 1000000/10Cocktails: 7/10 (too strong, not well balanced)Service: 5/10 (staff took away our seats when we briefly walked over to the bar to order more drinks)

Came here on a Saturday night and loved this venue and how it overlooks the city. We were on the 41st floor where it was quiet enough to have a conversation and sit comfortably on the couches. The creative cocktails and food were very tasty (got the sliders and fries). Later on we were moved to the 40th floor since the 41st was closing. The 40th level had a DJ, some bar stools by the window and plenty of standing room. The crowd seemed very laid back. I would definitely come back to this bar again!

I love this rooftop! It's the perfect spot for a date or to catch up with friends. The drinks are creative and delicious and the views from the roof will have you in awe at the city. The staff are all amazing as well- Helen is my favorite. I definitely recommend stopping by on your next night out for quick drink. Just make sure to pop into the bathroom for a cheeky surprise.

The view in this place is absolutely breathtaking. You get keyed up to the 40th floor by the hostess and walk into a boujee bar with huge windows showing the city. The staff was super friendly and offered explanations and advice on drinks. I'm pretty picky with cocktails and didn't find one I was in love with but I had a lot of fun sitting at the window people watching and admiring the buildings. I highly recommend trying to snatch the seats right at the windows. There is also a balcony and a nice view of the Empire State Building!

Beautiful views, fun music, quick service. I enjoyed my visit and the vibes. The drinks were delicious, and the view added to the whole experience. I didn't have a reservation but didn't need to wait too long to be seated even on a weekend night. I would definitely come back!

The ambiance here is stunning. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The views were gorgeous. Our wait staff were respectful and polite. He kept the drinks coming and coming strong. I personally loved their espresso martini. At the end of the night he brought us a complimentary drink and postcards which we loved to take home. This is an upscale vibe so come dressed up and bring your best friend for conversation and views.

They served great cocktails, excellent service with a superb view of the NYC Skyline. Highly recommended.

Came at 5:30 on a Tuesday with no reservation, and was able to get seated right away. Service is fast and view is great , but can't believe they add an automatic 20% service charge which is kind of ridiculous-Somewhere over the andes (4.5/5): my favorite drink of the 2 we got. Fruity, not way too strong, and not overly sweet. I enjoyed this one and would get it again-Dancing Rabbit (2/5): they told me this drink would be more refreshing but to be honest, it had a bit too much kick from the spices and was wayyyy too strong.

This bar does not have a gluten-free menu. The way the menu is written is deceptive. It has "GF" written next to various items on the menu, but when you speak with the server, he will tell you that those items are fried in a fryolator with other items that contain gluten. I asked if there was a separate fryolator, and he said there is only one. Thus, they cannot claim those items are gluten-free. This is disappointing, because my cousin is Celiac and one of the main reasons we chose this bar was because we checked the menu online and it seemed to have gluten-free items. All she could eat was the nuts. :( That being said, we enjoyed this place for all of the other reasons mentioned by other reviewers:- Beautiful decor and views- Great drinks (although Manhattan prices)- The food we did have was good, namely the tuna and the lobster guacamoleI would come back here, but not with people who have Celiac Disease.
