Elsie Rooftop

Cane here for Brunch on Sunday with my best friend visiting from Oklahoma. We LOOOOVE IT!! Nice and beautiful place, great amazing service, food and drinks upscale. We got bottomless drinks and Amy made sure we got everything, explained food perfectly, and she was on top making sure we got everything. I got the Smoked salmon board and just delightfully! My bud got the sliders and just on point! Got Bellinis and Mimosas. My bud got sangria. AMAZING place, AMAZING service, AMAZING food and drinks. Incredible served Amy.

How does a single lady spend love love day? At a really cute enclosed rooftop w/ friends.Love is an everyday occurrence to me, but one day it's thrown in your face. So much so you may not be able to get a table anywhere. However, we were in luck and made reservations the day before for 4. The location was definitely nice, had a good hangout vibe and great views. Sadly, that's all it was for us. The food was pretty bland and the drinks were the same. I've had rooftop bites that make me wanna go back...not the case here. I won't rule them out completely, it could've been an off night. So I'll possibly try again in the summer.

I learned that the Elsie Rooftop had a Y2K Emo party on a recent Saturday afternoon and was super interested in checking it out, as I love all of those pop-punk tunes! We found the office building in which it was located, and the doorman advised us on which elevator would take us up to the 25th floor. When we arrived, the gracious hostess confirmed our names on the list and sent us towards the back end of the place, walking right past the bright and stylish main bar. The back room was spacious and had a ton of cozy couch areas, but was definitely more dark and mysterious. We grabbed a couch and hit the small bar to make the most of the 2 hours of drinks that were included in our ticket cost. The alcohols to be used for the cocktails were all of a top shelf level, which was awesome! However, my two tequila and club sodas were very strong, and I found my Aperol Spritz too sweet and herbaceous. So, the liquor was of good quality, but the ratios of the mixed drinks were a bit off. Regardless, the bartender and rest of the staff were so nice. Plus, the DJ was playing all of my favorite hits, so I was fine just enjoying the moment. I also was pretty hungry, so I ordered a platter of Avocado Toast off of the brunch menu. Sourdough toast had been cut into small triangles, topped with mashed avocado, pomegranate seeds, and drizzles of oil. It was not the most elaborate rendition of the dish that I had ever had, but it was perfectly fine. Overall, we had an enjoyable afternoon singing along to memorable tunes and imbibing in some boozy beverages. I know Elsie has parties pretty frequently and most of the other patrons seemed to know each other from previous events, so we might return for yet another function.

Food: Only ordered drinks- they were well made! Cost: The drinks are definitely on the more expensive side for NYC. Although, it being a rooftop bar semi-justifies the price since you're paying not only for the drinks but for the view!Environment: The inside is very well decorated and the outside has some gorgeous views! Service: The drinks we ordered were made fairly quickly. Upon arrival we didn't RSVP so there were no tables available but were allowed to go over to the left side where there seemed to be some standing table which was more of a first come first serve type of deal. Uniqueness: Good rooftop bar- probably a great place for tourists for the whole rooftop bar NYC experience with the views! Glad I did try this place out for the experience nonetheless!

Great spot if you're looking for a private bougie area for an event. Spacious, attentive bartenders and lots of well made drinks. Great location, easy to get to. Drinks are on average $20, which is quite pricey. Bar food was okay, disappointing there were no fries on the menu.

I came here with coworkers for a team outing. It's a good place with a view. You can see the Salesforce sign from here. They had an assortment of appetizers, and the servers made sure we were constantly with drinks. They also had great sangrias, and also flat breads.

Little pricey on the cocktail drinks, but the rooftop is quite nice! The apps were also excellent-- big fan of the salmon tartare!Wonderfully nice service who took a free photo of us!Cheers!

I visited Elsie's with a group of friends on a beautiful, sunny Saturday for brunch. While we were a bit disappointed by the limited food options, we all found something to eat. One friend had the Huevos Rancheros, which she said was just alright. Another had the Impossible Burger, which she didn't like at all. One friend ordered the Belgian waffles and, despite only receiving a single waffle, found it to be really good. I had the truffle grilled cheese, which was superb--I was shocked by how delicious it was. The drinks were excellent, and the ambiance was beautiful. A rooftop on a sunny New York day is hard to beat. However, the service could have been better, as our server disappeared for long periods throughout the meal. Overall, I'm giving it 4 stars because the food isn't the main attraction here, but the atmosphere and drinks make it worth a visit.

Yesterday was the warmest day in NYC in 2024 so far, so it was time for a rooftop moment!My friend and I walked in without a reservation. They have bar seating and some lounge seating, as well as outdoor bench-type seating for walk-ins. The bartender was so friendly and welcoming! I ordered the Victorian cocktail. It was perfection! You couldn't even taste the alcohol (and I saw him put a good amount in)! The passion fruit flavor was so refreshing and it is a perfect spring/summer cocktail! My friend had the sunset and not only was it pretty, but it was delicious as well!I would definitely come back here as rooftop season continues. The cocktails are definitely pricey ($19), but the vibes are there!

Beautiful bar! Loved the decor, beautiful views of the city, great music and drinks. The service was a little slow, but not too bad.
