If you're looking for a rooftop spot that offers a break from the tourist hustle and bustle, PhD Rooftop Lounge is a hidden gem! Nestled in a not-so-crowded area, this place is perfect for those who want to unwind without the throngs of visitors.The seasonal drinks are delightful, and the cute desserts perfectly match the floral decoration theme, making it incredibly Instagrammable. You'll definitely want to snap a few photos here!

You can even catch a glimpse of Times Square from here, which adds to the charm without being overwhelming.Don't miss their happy hour from 5-7 PM! The drinks are great, and the yummy bites make it an ideal spot to relax after a long day. Overall, Great Spot for happy hour or rooftop season!

I came here while taking a break from my studies and my husband and a friend. We all had appall spritzes which were really really good. We were able to sit and enjoy ourselves, which was really fun. This club is a touch exclusive and you have to be let in by someone downstairs, which is fine.It was a fine bar, however, there is one side where there was a company party or something happening and we had to go upstairs. I don't think that this is accessible by people who are in wheelchairs who have mobility issues, however, I got off the stairs just fine as did my husband and friend and we had a great time.It was weird because they were told that a bunch of Caesar reserved and after sitting at the bar for about a half hour, they noticed that no one was coming and they were eventually allowed to sit at the tables. That seemed like kind of a waste. It's possible that they reserve those spots in case someone comes in, but that's something that should be told to them.The other thing I appreciate it, we'll sound weird, is that the person who served us had hands that were well manicure. I'm saying that because I have a hard time trusting people with poorly manicure hands. I'm not saying that they have to have a full manicure treatment, but when someone has ratchet nails with polish coming off, I wonder about cleanliness.We didn't get any food because we were not eating. It was just a drink and we were going to eat elsewhere later on. And we did. But I'd go upstairs for a drink anytime..

We had a passion fruit drink with prosecco! Excellent service. From us being escorted from downstairs to the rooftop that was amazing amazing service. Music is not too loud, very enjoyable. Our server was Aida and she was very friendly, she recommended us the drink and would totally trust her recommendations. Such a cutieeeIf we lived in New York we would be back here for the vibes. I do think the menu is a bit priced on the higher end!

I went her for an event and they offered small bites to eat. We did not get to order from the full menu. They extended our private party Happy Hour until 8 pm which was nice. The ambiance was beautiful. Entering the bar you feel like you are entering clouds. The lights above the bar looked like stars. The private room we were in was not very large, but the venue was nice.

Instagram brought me here and I am not mad about it. The views are beautiful and they currently have a lemon summer theme going on so they have a cute lemon walk way which is great for photos. Otherwise this place seems to be more for drinks than food. We came around 10pm on a Monday night with reservations but they took all walk ins that night. I am sure a weekend is a different story. The drinks were delicious and the views were unmatched. The only ding is the service was pretty lackluster. The hostess was nice but our waitress was nice on first impression but then she clocked out half way through and we never had a new server follow up. I never got the food that we ordered so I went to the bar to cancel and the bartender was pretty off putting he said oh its completely separate from me. Go find a server. Anyways a server jumped in and apologized. She said she could follow up and bring the food but I just canceled the food anyways. We did continue to have drinks though. They were delicious. Like I said more of a place for a night cap.

It was fairly busy when we got here, so had to walk around for a bit before finding a table inside.Drinks are pricey, but to be expected at a rooftop bar. My manhatan was good. Nicely balanced. The views are great as well.A fun stop for a round of drinks.REVIEW #3400

This is my quick go to after the theater. It's such a beautiful place and the food is good. I had fries and chicken quesadilla. They were yummy!

Super views, good service, DJ playing a lots of space to sit comfortably. Lemons galore.

PHD great for any New Yorker or tourist. The views are breathtaking and the ambiance is always chill and trendy especially if you're on the rooftop. Get reservations if you'd like to sit. I've been there twice once with the flower tunnel and this time with the lemons both gorgeous and super instagramable.

This place would've gotten tons more stars if not for two things.One. We got Judge looks when we came to go have drinks. Asked if we had a reservation. We said no and we would probably be there less than in the hour. So they sat.What they didn't tell us?Number two. a rooftop bar in the rain? Yes, there were leaks. Everywhere. You had to walk through a little waterfall to get to the bathroom. Just exactly what I felt like having in my hair after being outside in the pouring rain.The decor inside is stunning. But it was wet. And staff was continually mopping up the floors across from us. Not a good vibe.On the other hand? My drink was over $20. I thought that was a lot for one drink. Even in New York.Not my vibe. I won't be back.
