Castell Rooftop Lounge

"When: Weekdays, 4-6pm The Deal: $12 Select Cocktails; $10 Select Wine; $6 Select Draft Beers For a hotel rooftop bar in Midtown, Castell is pretty pleasant. It's sleek and modern, and it's the kind of place where you'd want to have drinks with a client or a coworker. Normally, cocktails here cost around $20—so these Happy Hour deals aren't bad." - Bryan Kim, Kenny Yang, Will Hartman

"Castell Rooftop is perfect for grabbing a drink with someone who makes more money than you do and will hopefully pick up the check. It’s at the top of the AC Hotel, and it’s a somewhat upscale cocktail lounge with big windows, nice banquette seating, and an outdoor area with booths and a view of Midtown. Cocktails here can get into the $20 range, but not a lot of people know about this place, so it’s usually pretty easy to get into." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
