serving perfectly crafted cocktails with top-notch service. If you’re a scotch lover, they have one of the best Macallan selections around. Located atop The Peninsula Hotel, simply take the elevator to the rooftop and prepare to be impressed.
A huge bonus for Manhattan street parking can actually be found at night. Dress to impress, order a drink, and take a moment to soak in the magic of New York City. This is a spot you’ll want to return to again and again.

The Peninsula Bar in Manhattan was a great find that delivers a memorable experience on both levels. The 2nd-floor bar is an elegant, intimate space with a sophisticated ambiance, perfect for unwinding or having meaningful conversations. The mixologists here are truly masters of their craft, creating exquisite cocktails with a level of precision and creativity that’s second to none. Nick was our bartender. Every drink feels like a bespoke experience, tailored to perfection.
We had Vesper Martinis. You will be stirred, if not shaken by the expert blend.
Upstairs, the Pen-Top Rooftop Bar offers a slightly different vibe—vibrant, chic, and full of interesting people The panoramic views of Manhattan are very nice, especially as the city lights sparkle in the evening. The rooftop bar retains the same high standard of mixology, with bartenders crafting innovative cocktails that perfectly complement the electrifying atmosphere.
More Vesper Martinis. This is a required stop when we are staying near the park . Last time we were there, Felix made us feel right at home. We are going again next week.
Whether you’re enjoying a quiet evening downstairs or soaking in the city skyline upstairs, the Peninsula Bar offers an unparalleled experience that truly captures the spirit of Manhattan.
Highly recommended!

Really lovely rooftop bar. Incredibly good and surprising different cocktails!! Nice view over 5th avenue and and the end central park. You can sit outside and inside. Not cheap by the way!

Very beautiful view, nice place, good service. A little pricey ($20 a glass of Malbec, ok quality) and a complimentary snack. Good to go with friends. They have heating lamps for the cold weather.

I ordered a round of drinks here that were sub par and just because it was close to closing but not closed - they refused to give my party any water.

Such a gorgeous venue for an elevated yet intimate NYE black tie event. Open bar with any cocktail your heart desires plus all you can eat caviar station, truffle pasta station, and sushi station spread across the insulated rooftop where we felt warm and comfortable. The Cafe Wha band was a treat to ring in the new year with. But most importantly the staff are warm, professional, attentive and treat you like family. Highly recommend for your next NYE or simply your next rooftop bar experience with gorgeous views of Fifth Ave and the city

Always an exceptional way to welcome the New Year. The Peninsula Hotel rooftop offers the perfect balance of being immersed in the energy of New York City while enjoying comfort and true class. The food is outstanding and thoughtfully curated, paired beautifully with champagne and expertly crafted cocktails. The staff is consistently warm and welcoming, and while there are clearly many moving parts behind the scenes, everything flows seamlessly. From dancing to the midnight countdown, the experience feels effortless. A truly memorable and elegant way to close out the year.
I had a wonderful experience at The Peninsula rooftop. Pierre, the French waiter, was exceptional very professional, attentive, and welcoming throughout the evening. His service really elevated the experience and made it memorable. I would highly recommend both the rooftop and Pier’s outstanding hospitality!

We came here on a Friday around 5:30pm and there were several tables available. I wasn't thrilled that with about four tables open that we were seated at the only table facing the wall instead of the beautiful view---which is why we came. Drinks were very good. My drink came with tajin around the rim which was not specified in the description, but our server was gracious enough to offer to have it remade. He was great. Very nice and checked on us frequently. My husband smoked a cigar while there. It is allowed by the bar, and they provide ashtrays when asked. Patrons did a lot of eye rolling but that is not the problem of the bar...they aren't responsible for the behavior of the other patrons. The bar, itself, was very accommodating. Would definitely recommend.

We went there at Tuesday night and it was amazing! One of my favourite rooftops now. First of all, cocktails menu is huge! You can find any cocktail you want. We also tried Tiramisu - it’s awesome! Very sweet without any strong taste of alcohol. Also I would like to mention staff: everyone is very friendly! You can feel how hospitable everyone is. Server Salvatore shared some interesting conversations with us, told us about the study of Tiramisu cocktail and in overall, made our evening more special. Thank you so much, Salvatore! The view is astonishing, people and atmosphere in this place is incredible! I really recommend this place if you want to have a very memorable experience with your loved ones!

The Rooftop is truly one of the best places to hang out. The staff is exceptional, the vibes are amazing, and the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful. It’s the kind of place where you can meet many successful and inspiring people. The cocktails are fantastic, and it’s also the perfect spot to enjoy a cigar at the end of the night. I have to say, the manager of the Rooftop Pierre Baysset is one of the loveliest people I’ve ever met!!
