Nestled atop AC Hotel New York Times Square, this cozy rooftop bar recaptures the spirit of the classic cocktail lounge, with extra emphasis on martinis. Iconic views enhance the venue's contemporary décor in a sophisticated but comfortable (read: not stuffy) atmosphere. Enjoy the intimacy of a fireplace lounge showcasing abstract art. Gather ‘round the luxe granite bar. Or go out for drinks – literally – on the lush, open-air terrace.

    Not one for writing a bad review but on this occasion I feel it’s much needed, first of all the 2 cocktails were amazing! Best margaritas we’ve had in nyc to date, but the service was appalling, basically we got or 2 cocktails and our check was on its way, we thought it was the waiter clocking off, but they just wanted us out of there, shocking, the next table to us never got theirs drink, and they settled up straight away obvious had the same experience as us, definitely won’t be returning, no staff on the floor what do ever, not your usual nyc standard by far.

    Wouldn't recommend so early in the year. The bar was practically empty and obviously the rooftop was closed as it was really cold. The food was quite tasty, though a little overpriced I thought. There was no real ambiance to the place, but that could have been due to the lack of guests. We were served by a lovely young lady, but she wasn't very attentive overall. It was also my birthday, so I was a little disappointed. We frequented other bars and restaurants of an evening and they scored higher.

    Overall really enjoyed the restaurant. We ordered the salted potatoes (amazing) and wings (not very good at all, texture and taste wise). Drinks were good and views were amazing.

    NEW YEAR’S EVE. This was a disgrace. I booked and paid in full well in advance and was told that they could not guarantee a table outside, so we assumed we would get a table inside, no, we were told at the door first come first served! When we eventually found somewhere to sit, we were asked to leave as it was RESERVED for someone else! So, first come first served or reservations only for some people??? The booking was with hors d'oeuvres, by the time the platters went round we managed all night to eat max 2 each as the food was not enough for everyone!!!! Toilets were not refreshed during the night and were slippery and dirty, when I attempted to go, I slipped and fell!!!!!!!! Staff were polite so that was one good thing
