The Rooftop at The Rockaway Hotel

The Best Restaurants & Bars In Rockaway Beach & Jacob Riis Park - New York - The Infatuation

"This bar has views of the Atlantic just a few blocks from the beach, with an indoor space on one side and an outdoor terrace on the other. We’d tolerate mediocre rooftop fare in exchange for the ocean view—but the food and drink at this Rockaway Hotel spot are actually great. A mason jar contains the fattest sardines we’ve seen in a long time, and there's good shrimp cocktail, and clam pizza. And best of all, this hotel bar is a calm, beachside spot, even when they turn the music up and the bar fills up towards sunset. If you're looking for a full meal, they also have a restaurant, Margie’s." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
