Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge

Omg, this place is amazing.We received excellent customer service.The meal was great.Beautiful and peaceful environment The employees were friendly.I will surely be re visiting.

Made a reservation and went when it opened at 5. Great time to go as it wasn't super crowded. We had asked to sit on the carousel but it wasn't open, however they were super kind, and let us wander over to take pictures!! Our server was absolutely the SWEETEST, most attentive, and was excellent at getting us out to make our next appointment! I really just wanted the s'mores dessert, and it was as magical as I wanted Super cute decor, loved the ambience, and the fun decor. Loved the fact you overlooked the Empire State, and that it was "dresssed as a candy cane!" We had a bunch of drinks (all were excellent) and the sweet treat was my favorite! Unexpectedly :) i also had the Moira rose which is a gin based drink with a rose ice cube, and it was SO good! Food wasn't amazing, but in all honestly we didn't go for the food, and the guac was pretty stellar. Definitely a really fun place to spend some time, and enjoy really fun cocktails!

It was pouring rain the night I went. After checking into a private party, there was a long wait for coat check and the elevator for the rooftop only fit any 6 ppl or so at once.We have the rooftop area and it was a very narrow space. The music was very loud and it was hard to hear. It was also hard to walk around considering how many people were at this event. I found it to be extremely hot in the enclosed rooftop. For them to fit that many people and not to have AC or window to open was not very good.They had pomegranate martinis on special and they were tasty, however, my much alcohol in them.

I met up with some friends for drinks here. We had reservations, so we were taken to a table; otherwise, it's bar only. We wanted to come for the carousel and Instagram-worthy aesthetics, but were letdown. The carousel side was closed for service, although they still let people over there for photos. We didn't realize until we were leaving that people ordered their drinks and went over to that side anyways.On the lounge and bar side, it was loud and hot. We were basically shouting over each other to make conversation. We ended up ordering one round of drinks and I had the Welcome to New York ($20), which is their take on the Manhattan. It was good and I liked the real cherries used.Overall, it's a gimmicky and touristy spot. I wasn't impressed with the decor at all during the winter. Maybe it's nicer in the summer or day time hopefully.

I wish we would have came here for brunch. I think it would have been a very nice view/ambience. We came in on a Sunday night around 11pm, which the kitchen was closed already but we decided to stay for drinks at least. As we came in, the girls in the front greeting had a very unfriendly attitude, like specifically one, and I think I could understand why, there were some females walking in there with nasty attitudes too so I can see why the greeters matched the energy. But whatever I didn't care for it, I didn't take it personal. Everyone was crowded at the bar area, no one was around to help with anything. People were dancing tho, the music was a 10/10!! I would stayed til they closed just for the music but we were hungry so we went elsewhere.We only grabbed a drink, a margarita and it was soooooo sour!!!! We took it back, they made a new one but it was still sour af. We didn't drink our drinks, we just left. This place is super cute!! Will definitely be back to try it for brunch so I can update my review.

Entrance to the rooftop bar is on 7th Ave, came here on a weekday after work for a team happy hour :) got some cheese fries, chips and guacamole that are good for sharing and some chicken fingers that's skippable, staff was friendly and will come check in on your orders. Food comes really slow though. Convenient location, reservation recommended since it gets busy, and they do check your bags (I went later so didn't get checked), maybe they do that when it's busy.

I went to a friend's birthday party at this location on a Saturday night. They had our party in a private section. There was food and drink. There were bartenders making either a set of pre picked signature drinks or whatever you asked for.The staff was great. The wings were good. This was a good place to throw a party for approximately 40-50 people. The music wasn't overwhelming. Our group was roped off from the rest of the venue in a private area. Other than a shared bathroom, it was pretty private as a dedicated space.

What a nice swanky atmosphere. We had 9pm reservations and were seated after an hour of standing, however, they offered complimentary shots for us all for the inconvenience. The nighttime vibe is very loud, the music was good, but not conducive for conversation. The brunch however was delicious here and the music was very good and at a normal volume.It was a cool spot!! Loved the outside view!!

We walked in without a reservation then we made one because we wanted food along with drinks. The surf theme is very cute but it was a little too dark to enjoy it so it would be better to come earlier to enjoy the full decor. There was AC even thought it's an open air rooftop.... cannot be energy efficient, but it was nice to not be sweating. It was not a hot or humid day/night so no AC would have been fine. The cheese fries are like shake shack cheese fries, but the fries were left in the fryer a bit longer. Salty, but great to share. The mozzarella sticks (or whatever they call it here) were okay, but not worth $14. The vodka dipping sauce was yummy though. We prefer the $14 fries over the mozz sticks.

I've seen this place on social media and I was looking forward to going myself. It was a bit underwhelming, I thought there was more to the space based on what I've seen on social. Didn't really have expectations for the space bc I wasn't there for that. My friend and I were overdue for a catch up session surrounded by dranks and food!Were let down to know once we got there Happt Hour is ONLY at the bar and not the whole entire place (fine) but of course there were no spot up at the bar. Nonetheless we ordered well drinks (no speciality drinks, nothing stuck out to us). We both were hungry and got the Bucket of Wings and we were SURPRISED to literally see it come out in a KFC style box of chicken wings LOL I asked for it fried hard and it was, but ALSO still VERY juicy. I'm still thinking about these wings (especially since) my to go container dropped on the floor as I was packing it Overall nothing TOO special for me to return back (outside of the wings ‍) but if it's your first time I'd recommend and ensure to go during HH and get a seat at the bar!Also there's a mandatory coat check on entry !
