A chic rooftop escape in the East Village with elevated cantina vibes. The tacos were flavorful, the nachos and guacamole fresh, and the cocktails felt made for golden hour. They even had a tres leches flan that totally surprised me, it was so rich and delicious. A perfect spot to sip and snack as the sun goes down.

Absolutely the best spot in the neighborhood for margaritas + tacos! They always have amazing DJs and the service is incredible.
Jessica Halcomb
Obsessed with this playful rooftop bar in the east village. The service is kind and quick, the tacos are cheap and delicious, the margaritas are AMAZING. The atmosphere goes from after work crowd to a lively fiesta. Definitely a must try.

From the skyline views to the frozen cocktails, this place delivers serious vacation-in-the-city energy. The retractable glass roof is a game changer (because NYC weather is unpredictable at best), and the music always sets the tone without being over the top.
The food’s fun, the drinks are strong in all the right ways, and the whole vibe is easygoing and stylish without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place where you can meet friends for one drink and somehow still be there three hours later.
Definitely one of my favorite rooftops in the East Village—can’t wait to go back.

One of my staples + favorites in the East Village! Amazing views, great music and always a vibe for HH or drinks with the girls. Affordable and delicious - just go check it out!

I went to The Ready Rooftop Cantina with my husband and a few friends, and we immediately fell in love with the vibe. As soon as we stepped off the elevator, it felt like we were transported out of the city and into some laid-back, sun-soaked rooftop hideaway. The space is super fun—string lights, colorful murals, cacti everywhere—and the retractable roof means the party goes on rain or shine (which actually came in handy when a quick summer storm rolled through).
We posted up at a table, ordered a round of spicy margaritas and frozen palomas (both excellent), and just kept them coming from there. The food was exactly what you want in this kind of setting—shareable, casual, and way better than it needs to be. The tacos and guac were standouts.
The staff was genuinely warm and on top of everything, which added to the whole feel-good experience. We came around golden hour and the view with the city skyline lighting up was kind of magical.
Whether you’re looking for a spot to catch up with friends or just want to sip something good in a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously, The Ready is kind of perfect. Already planning our next visit.

We were charged an incorrect bill and then were charged twice. I have had to cancel my card and report them. Do not go here. Very rude staff.

I came specifically for the happy hour promo of margaritas $11 and tacos $1 and it did not disappoint. It was a Wednesday and we didn't need reservation. Me and my friend got a table pretty quickly, it was busy but not packed and the decor was nice and soothing, nice tropical vibes for winter. We used the QR that leads to the online bar app but, as other comments I saw here, my friend had trouble paying through it. I could use it for the first round of drinks but not for the second time & we had go to the physical bar. So 50/50? If the app worked every time I would say it's super convenient. The tacos were not great, but hey they were snacks and $1 so not so much to complain. Margaritas were ok (you get regular or spicy), they did the job. I think it was a good experience nonetheless and would recommend and go back if only for the happy hour and the vibes
Bartender 'Gigino' was confusingly aggressive and unprofessional for reasons I still can't fathom. All I did was order a handful of drinks and he grilled me as if he was ready to get into a physical altercation in real time. Great food and decorations, but def would not want to come back here if this is the kind of attitude given to the average customer. Every other employee I interacted with seemed compassionate and professional.
