"The Soho location of Arlo Roof Top (or A.R.T. for short) has string lights, graffiti art, and a pretty nice view of the Hudson River. The patio here is huge, and, while it has become a little busier in recent years, this place isn't too tough to get into. So if you want to sip a frozen drink and listen to loud electronic music without having to wait in a line at the door, this is a great option. A.R.T. Soho takes walk-ins, but you can also book a table online—and we suggest you go that route." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman
"What It Is: A bar on top of a hotel in Soho Perfect For: Wasting Your Time And Money Last summer, the rooftop at the Arlo Soho was a beach-themed place called Harold’s Surf Shack, and it was one of our favorite spots for a low-key drink outside. Now, however, it’s called Arlo Roof Top - and it’s unfortunately become more of a typical club. The lawn flamingos and kiddie pools are no longer on the outdoor terrace, and, on our latest visit, there was a line to get in despite the fact that the place was half-empty. Also, the music was bad. The Verdict: There are other rooftop bars where you can and should be drinking downtown." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
"Just in time for summer, the Arlo SoHo hotel debuts their new rooftop bar boasting panoramic views of the Hudson. Guests can expect fare from the hotel's Harold's Meat + Three and cocktails by Milos Zica. The hotel has launched Camp Arlo in the courtyard, featuring two large tents for summer fun, as well as giant Jenga and corn hole. Food and drink is also on offer at Camp Arlo, including daily hot dog specials named after national parks." - Marguerite Imbert
"This sun-drenched rooftop space in the heart of Soho has stylish décor, art installations, and epic views of the Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline. Bring some friends and grab one of the cushy couches before ordering snacks like chips and guacamole, prosciutto fig pizza, and jumbo shrimp with saffron aioli for dipping. Keep the summery vibes going by ordering one of their three Bellinis. There’s the Strawberry & Lemongrass Bellini, which combines Grey Goose Essences Strawberry & Lemongrass Vodka with strawberry puree, lemongrass simple syrup, lemon juice, and prosecco, garnished with a lemongrass stalk and strawberry heart; the Hibiscus Watermelon Bellini, made with Grey Goose Essences Watermelon & Basil Vodka, hibiscus puree, watermelon syrup, lime juice, and prosecco, garnished with watermelon balls and basil; and the O.G. Bellini, which uses Grey Goose Essences Peach & Rosemary Vodka, rosemary agave syrup, peach puree, grapefruit juice, and prosecco." - Vox Creative
"The outdoor bar atop the Arlo SoHo hotel offers sweeping views of the Hudson River and iconic Manhattan skyscrapers, all from a well appointed stylish lounge. Cocktails are served individually or by the pitcher, to accompany an extensive menu of finger foods and small bites, like pizza and chicken wings. Drinks are designed to cool down imbibers on the most humid of days, like a refreshing GREY GOOSE hibiscus lemonade, BACARDÍ-made mojito, and rotating daily frozen cocktails." - Vox Creative
