Have been twice for parties hosted by Panaroma and another group. Over priced drinks, lame energy, good DJ though. The view is ok, it’s mostly an Instagram picture spot rather than a vibe spot

Eoghan is the best bartender. You’d be hard pressed to find any better.
The bar itself is small, but it doesn’t need to be any larger. It’s the perfect size for the ambience it is going for.

Expect a $400 minimum spend on a Friday night before 11pm. Front of house/security was rude and commented on our attire. Meanwhile, the staff were not on dress code wearing a hat.

If you sit down at a free table on the terrace without “reserved” sign and take “only” a Rose during the happy hour, you will be asked to stand up and make the table free. So sadly that the guests here are treated in this way, because the view and atmosphere are amazing.

The place is nice, I gotta be honest…what I didn’t like was how the staff managed the tables at the outdoor balcony, basically I saw ppl running to the table as soon as the guests who were previously seating at the table were leaving … ppl mostly were drinking $5 rose, I saw the rose wine glasses all around , basically doubled and yes, the manager seemed to be a bit unprofessional regarding the way how he was seating ppl around…the waitresses were ok regarding the F&B service…my cocktails were delicious ?

Came here on a Saturday night for drinks and a good time. Great ambience with a small outdoor terrace. The DJ was OK.

Racist, ugly, and gross establishment. Vibes were terrible. Crowd is ugly. Staff is the rudest I’ve encountered in this city. Horrible experience. Go literally anywhere else

Really beautiful bar with an amazing view. Worth visiting! But the bar staff were just sullen and rude. Seemed more concerned with chatting to each other than serving us. The door staff were very lovely though! The dj/ music selection was super on point and set a great vibe.

My favorite spot on the lower east side!! I love the views, indoor and outdoor space, and also the drinks are super good. Music is a whole vibe and I’ve always had an awesome experience. 10/10, highly recommend!!!

Gorgeous place with incredible views of downtown and midtown. Drinks are surprisingly
Delicious. Albeit expensive. Expect to pay around $27 for a cocktail including top

Echo the sentiment from the previous review. Bouncers need to relax. Also surprised they act so big and mighty. Like relax.

wow, i’ve been living in nyc for years and this is my first bad review. we just wanted to try out this place but didn’t even make it up to the rooftop bc one of the bouncers (short, bald, chubby lil guy who works sunday nights by the elevator) was unnecessarily rude.. gave the stank eye/made snarky comments upon seeing us while we were waiting to go up. he was probably just having a bad day and forgot his manners! everyone else was really nice though (the two bouncers in the front, the girl who gave us the stamp, and the other bouncer that was by the elevator).
it’s crazy how one person can ruin a place for you - but we decide to leave bc I’d rather spend $/time somewhere where the staff doesn’t hate themselves and aren’t mean to strangers for no reason. esp at their job :)
