Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge offers an energetic vibe with "great drinks" and a "fun atmosphere." The rooftop's "stunning views" and "Instagram-worthy" decor make it a popular choice for celebrations. However, service can be inconsistent, and the menu is limited, so it's best for those prioritizing ambiance over a full dining experience.

    We went here a year ago and it was adorable. This time there was no decor, had to sit at tiny little tables on a stool and hunch over to eat overpriced food. Pass on this place.

    The bar food was good and the drinks were good as well. I enjoyed the ambiance and for the most part the service was good. What I didn’t like is that we had to check our small shopping bags and when we got to the top there was people up there with HUGE Zara shopping bags but my small Louis Vuitton bag had to be checked. The security or bouncer at the elevator was not pleasant and was Mad when we left that we called him out on it. I was like are your profiling us because we are black ladies. We don’t stay long because of that.

    A neat experience. The rinks were okay. Out sitting arrangement was interesting. It was by a door to the patio people kept trying to use, despite there being another door. The door would not stay on the hinges and was difficult for people to close, which let a lot of cold air in.
