The DL | Best Rooftop Lounge NYC

Went for a bachelor party and the place was dope. Good music, lots of people without being overcrowded, and the drinks were strong. Overall a good experience!

Very disappointed. The security guards were very rude and the place was extremely crowded even though the entrance fee was expensive.

9/7/24 two black door guys wouldn’t let us in because we casually said “well that’s stupid” to demand us to walk around thru a totally empty rope of a lines down the block. As in zero people in line, “hey you go down and walk thru these ropes.” Said to call the bank if we wanted our 100 dollar tickets refunded. Apparently only people he knows are only allowed to go in without tickets. As we saw a few of his friends go in without proof of tickets. I suppose we were not supposed to witness this. Hire better people or continue to lose money.

I wanted to go here with a group of 8 (7 guys 1 girl) of my friends for my birthday. On their website they allow you to reserve a table and since we had a large group of us I wanted to be proactive and get a table to ensure we got in. We get on line and the bouncer redirects us to a woman with an iPad who deals with the reservations. I gave her my name and she told me there was no reservation for that night. Then another employee came over and told us that the kitchen was closed so the tables are no longer offered. This was at 12:20am. I was upset but said okay and my group went to go back onto the line. The employee told us that all of the guys had to pay the $45 cover charge except for the one girl with us. I was again upset since I had a reservation online but still got back to waiting on the general line instead. We got to the front, the bouncer was going to let us in, when that employee came back over, whispered something in his ear, then told us we had to get off the line. Meanwhile they were still letting others in both who were in front and behind us. When trying to ask why we couldn’t go in they would not give us a reason and told us to leave. We left and I do not plan on going back again. I just wanted to have a nice night with my friends for my birthday.

Went during late night when it is a club so can't speak to the food. There was a line but it moved quickly, didn't see anybody get turned away. Drinks were way overpriced but that's NYC for ya. At first the DJ was bad but they switched out and the second guy was way better. Crowd was okay, lot of dancing but too many people pushing you to the point that it made me want to leave. Not a horrible night, just not great.

Trendy hipster bar, but the food was great and the atmosphere was lively. I was there around 4 PM – things started to get a little busy, I’m sure it would be great for lunch and on a sunny day. Would definitely return.

I came here on a Friday night and the vibes were great. The drinks were descent and of course Manhattan priced, but the DJ and atmosphere made it worth while.

I will say there are a ton of steps up to the roof so make sure you are prepared for that. I witnessed someone trip, but thankfully they or no one else was hurt.

If you want to dance this is a great place. There are also VIP tables in the back.

DO NOT GO HERE! They will scam you into paying $45 dollar per person if you are not with any girl. They make up random prices to scam the tourists!

I attended a private event and while the hosts of the event made sure the atmosphere was great, the service was subpar. The bartenders tried their best to keep up, however, the drinks were not full. It’s not about the price as you expect to pay a decent price for a drink ($21 w/mandatory gratuity included) but the glass was not full.

Another caveat, it was very muggy after a rain. There needs to be more air conditioning along with fans. Coupled with a full house, everyone was HOT. I was told that it was not sealed; when it rained, it rained outside.

Also, is there wheelchair accessibility? There are a lot of stairs and no elevator access.

Bouncer dude wouldn’t let us in even though we had tickets cause we were 5 dudes. Don’t go here. Many others dope places.

Bouncers are too extremely rude and old to be that strict with footwear. Men get in with the dirtiest of sneakers even though the website says no athletic wear. The footwear policy only seems to apply to women but as a young woman I wouldn't bother with this place. The crowd is as old as the geriatric bouncers they have screening the entrance.
