Top of the Strand Rooftop Bar

The drinks weren’t any good. We had a cheese and charcuterie-to-be table; the food wasn’t fresh at all. Prices are pretty high, we spent almost 100 for two and we only had one drink each and that poor table. The best thing of the place is the view of the Empire State, but you couldn’t see anything because it was full of scaffolds (and believe me, the Empire State is huge). We really don’t recommend the place.

The rooftop was small but pretty, perfect for a rainy night and some quick drinks before a show at msg.
We opted to sit at the bar, as we figured we would watch the bartenders make craft drinks.What we did watch was was the exact opposite...We ordered two drinks 1 which was an old fashioned,1st the the bartender was smelling a bottle he grabbed from behind him then said I can't make it , the syrup is bad.Then we said we asked for a an old fashioned with makers you can't make that? Then he did. He used a cup full of ice cups ( which was strange as usually you use a single big cube for the drink) then we asked the other bartender if he could drain it and switch to a single cube.
He proceeded to put 1 little ice cube in a glass ( again not the normal big old fashioned cube) then when asked he changed changed it.
We go out very often and enjoy the art of making drinks.
We didn't expect to have only 1drink there but clearly we did...Will I go back.No, too many other intimate rooftops to try.

Drinks are outstanding! Food is good. We had a large group and were served quickly. Sher was a wonderful server. Can't beat the view!

We had a great time at the rooftop bar. Greginald Spencer's performance was fabulous, and I loved the ambiance facing the Empire State Building. The drinks and service were good. I would go back again.

Great location!! Adorable bar!! It is important to book in advance as it gets busy but it is worth booking because it is right in front of the Empire State Building and the view is magnificent!! A little bit on the higher side for pricing but totally worth it!!

Amazing views and good cocktails!

Drinks and service are okay, but terrible and loud music, although admittedly this is common in nyc rooftop bars

This is not really what we were expecting. You're literally looking at the back side of old buildings and the Empire State Building. This bar is really dated and needs to be updated.

We enjoyed our drinks and the view was great but the drinks were overpriced and the service was terrible.

View was nice and there was live music. However, service was underwhelming, which is disappointing for a Marriott establishment.

Celebrated my son's 25th birthday with 20 family and friends at the Greginald Spencer residency. We had an amazing night. The ambiance on the rooftop is amazing and Greginald is an outstanding singer and entertainer he gave us a world class show. The drinks were amazing, and the Margherita pizza was delicious. The rooftop views of the Empire State Building were so amazing especially at night. We will definitely be returning.

The entertainer was fantastic! The music was great and Greginald Spencer was incredible. You should have more of these.

One of the best view and decent prices!!

Great view, service and drinks
