Spyglass Rooftop Bar

Forget about it! The service is practically nonexistent. Some staff members are very rude. The dishes look nice, but unfortunately they are not good. There is definitely better.

Can I bring my 8 year old?

When i came to this Bar today it is an amazing view of the Empire State building right across the bar view a nice enough breeze coming through the food was also great i would recommed to visit this Rooftop bar.Make this the destination you visit it located on the 23rd floor and the bev Manager Rico was also a big Help when describing the Liqour at the Bar and i would recommed to my friends if they are looking for a rooftop bar i give this a 10 out of 10 stars if i could grade that high i would.thanks Spyglass for such a great experience.

Spyglass Rooftop Bar has an unbeatable view of the Empire State Building, it’s easily one of the most stunning skyline spots in NYC.

The vibe is stylish and trendy, making it a popular choice for both locals and tourists. That said, the space is very tight, and it can feel a bit overcrowded. Service was extremely slow during our visit, which was disappointing, especially given how pricey the drinks were.

It’s definitely worth checking out for the view alone, but manage your expectations when it comes to service and seating.

Went here for birthday drinks with a coworker and a group of seven. The rooftop is cute but definitely on the smaller side—it felt a bit cramped, so I’d recommend it more for groups of 2-4. They don’t offer any happy hour specials after work, so expect to pay $20+ per cocktail. We didn’t order any food, but I did try the red velvet cake and wasn’t impressed—it was hard and cold. I might go back if someone else plans something there, but I wouldn’t make a point to return on my own.

We had an amazing time at the Spyglass Rooftop. Drinks were great, food was tasty, the NYC view was unique (with the Empire State building right there), but the most amazing was the service. We had such a wonderful experience from the staff, particularly Rico who made the experience perfect. We will definitely go back and share the place with friends. Thank you Rico for making our mom's birthday celebration so special!!!

Awesome view of Empire State Building

This is the perfect stop if you have family over that wants to see nyc. Take them to Bryant park, stop here and they will be happy instead of walking all of nyc aimless. The food is good the drinks the vibe the views

This is a great bar to grab drinks, and food, with an awesome view of the Empire State Building. Our drinks were excellent and the service was quick. We will be back again!

This was on top of the Archer Hotel where we were staying. We just had drinks after having dinner at Serra at Eatly. The view of the Empire State building was magnificent. The drinks were top notch. We even met someone from Texas while there.
