Castell Terrace

Stopped in for a bite to eat, before a show at the Town Hall to see Celeste Barber. My sister, and BF were welcomed and we sat in several different areas to get a good feel for the environment and to see views of Manhattan. We were not disappointed, the staff, food, drinks, cleanliness and the overall rooftop bar was awesome. We go to as many as we can while visiting from NJ, and Castell Rooftop Lounge is one of the very best. Great Happy Hour menu, and comfortable sitting.

Love coming here. Very classy vibes. Elegant. Beautiful fire place and the staff is awesome. The GM was really nice as well. Super accommodating. The drinks are good as well. I would absolutely come here again in the future.

I visited this beautiful rooftop bar for Tini Tuesday. The cocktails were absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was amazing, the views were incredible. This in my opinion is the best deal for cocktails at any rooftop in the city. Service is wonderful, I definitely plan on visiting again and would highly recommend this establishment.

Castell Rooftop Lounge is a great spot to relax with amazing views of Midtown NYC. The vibe is chill and stylish, perfect for drinks and a meal with friends. I tried some of their small bites and everything was tasty and fresh. It can get busy, so booking ahead is a good idea. Definitely worth a visit if you want a laid-back rooftop experience.

I had reserved a specific area for an overdue group outing. We were looking forward to meeting up as a group as it had been so long and wanted it to be special. I had been to Castell before and saw this beautiful fireplace with a large u-shaped sofa and stools around. I emailed the event person and asked to reserve this spot. After back on forth on her wanting me to book a corporate event (which it wasn’t) for 11 people, she said we would be able to reserve the space in front of the fire place but only with a minimum spend of $750. I said that’s fine and asked if she needed a card, she said no and that we would just pay on the night. I had booked over a month in advance. When we get to the bar which was around 10mins after our reservation, we were escorted to the back area on the terrace where it was cold and uninviting. When i asked the host that I had emailed a month ago and had reserved the fireplace area which had been confirmed, she said oh yeah, another party ended up booking after you and it was a corporate event so we gave it to them. I asked why no one had contacted me to tell me why the reservation had gone, she just said oh, I don’t know. This was one of the main reasons for making the reservation so had I had known they gave up our reservation, I would have made other plans. So we’re seated in this freezing cold terrace (it’s the end of Jan) away from music and people. There are two heaters above our heads which one of them is partly working as one heat bar had gone out. Then the server who saw us sat there with coats on put two more heaters out. It was mildly better so we made do and sat drinking and eating with our coats on. 10mins later, the heaters go out. We asked if they can be switched on and they said they couldn’t. The other tables further down the terrace had left, possibly because it was so cold out on the terrace. We asked to be moved inside (and by the way, I had noticed that two people had occupied the fireplace section, still hadn’t seen a corporate party come through and it was after work hours at this point). They decided to move us to the host table area away from the bar and people but we took it as it was soooo much warmer inside than out. Aside from our server who was really nice and attentive, the event and management service was not good, lacked communication and customer service. It’s a shame as the drinks are pretty decent and the chicken lettuce wrap is quite nice. This one experience showed the unprofessionalism of this place and how customers are treated. Little ironic. Used to work across the road from this place years ago. In fact, there was an empty lot and we would watch this hotel being constructed and would wonder how it would turn out. Now I know.

I loveeedddd castell when i came here!! Views are absolutely gorgeous and the drinks were stellar. Nice romantic spot for a date night!

Cool bar roughly 20 stories high with decent views and outdoor covered and heated area. They did ask for a minimum spend for a group reservation but it was reasonable for the number of people and pretty standard ordering. Overall thought it was just ok. For starters the “oven” was broken so our menu was limited to only a handful of cold plates (and somehow the al pastor tacos too). They were all good but portions were a little small and tough for sharing. Drinks menu was great and I thought prices reasonable. If they had more menu items available I’d give a 4th star but was a little disappointed with limited offerings due to the oven issue.

We were just having drinks with s small group after brunch. We were having a lot of fun and our server did a great job with drink suggestions and generally taking great care of us. We've been here, but first time in the winter. They did a really nice job enclosing the outdoor space!

We stayed at the AC hotel so we had easy access to this rooftop. A small inconvenience about this place is that there were only two working elevators so it took awhile for us to get up and then back down. The service was phenomenal. Lorenzo was so awesome. He made us cocktails perfectly catered to our preferences and even recommended us tequila to try. He was so kind and made our night very memorable. I got a Bloody Mary cocktail which was made perfectly with drops of hot sauce and adorned with crunchy celery. My boyfriend got a passion fruit cocktail (not sure what the name of it was) and he thought it was very delicious. It's definitely a more intimate setting and didn't seem like a place for high socializing. However, if you want to start off your night somewhere or just bring a few friends, I would recommend this rooftop.

We had a great evening at Castell. The view and ambiance are spectacular. We were fortunate to be seated at the bar. Lorenzo did a memorable job mixing us cocktails, recommending wine and food. He was personable and professional, which is such a rare combination. Highly recommend!

Five stars if the weather is good. The lounge is located on the top floor of the AC Hotel near Times Square. The views are not as interesting as found at other rooftop lounges in the area. The cocktails are good. Unexpectedly, the Crispy Sea Salt Potatoes were the best dish that we had. The service was attentive.

Wow! What a cool find! We attempted to go to Boqueria, but there was no seat at the bar. A hostess recommended that we go to Castell on the 21st floor rooftop. I am very happy we did. I had a non alcoholic pear cocktail that was absolutely delicious. We also had a veggie sauce & pita & potatoes. The food was very good. My only complaint was the veggie dish I did not think was as described or what I pictured it to be. The staff was excellent. We had a great conversation with the manager from Equador. We would definitely go back!

Service is just okay, food menu is very limited but the portion size is pretty big for each, and the cocktails here are also just okay. The vibes are good and there is both indoor and outdoor/rooftop area which is heated with comfy seats.

Great rooftop bar, in theater district . Great location between theater and Penn station. Has indoor and outdoor seating. Nice views of the city . They have a happy hour with drinks between 4-6pm. Drinks were excellent and potent. Staff were attentive and did not rush. Reservations are recommended. Limited menu, light fare, small plates and apps, but food was good and had a good assortment. Many vegetarian options.

This is a lovely rooftop lounge in midtown on top of the AC Hotel in Times Square. What's nice is that the outdoor patio has an an overhead covering and heat lamps in inclement weather, so it can be enjoyed in all seasons. There is also an indoor bar area. I met a friend for drinks on a Thursday around 5pm during happy hour (Mon-Fri from 4-6pm) and it was still fairly sparsely populated at this hour but filled up later on, though it's not summer yet when it will inevitably get much busier. The drinks are good and strong enough - though a Moscow mule really ought to be served in a copper mug not in a collins glass. The bar menu consists only of light bites, appetizery items, and desserts to sop up your alcohol intake, so no substantial fare. If they could add some flatbread and fries or tater tots, that would be awesome. Service was ok, a little absent at times but friendly. It's a nice space however and a great rooftop lounge option!

Nice rooftop lounge on the 21st floor of the AC Hotel, just mere blocks from Times Square. I made a reservation for Sunday at 7:30 pm a week or two before coming, and it was very easy to make on Open Table. There was plenty of availability. There's an indoor area with a fireplace for the cold winter months, but we were seated outside on the patio at a high top table. They have couch seating as well but it was all full. When we were there, they had the heat lamps turned on since it was a cool day. The views of the surrounding buildings are decent but not the best, since the bar is only on the 21st floor and there are taller buildings around. Still, it was a nice view. Make sure you catch the Empire State Building on the other side of the outdoor area through the window on the inside too! They offer a good selection of alcohol as well as some small/large bites, but we weren't hungry and stuck with drinks. I had the Honeybee ($22), which based on the ingredients sounded like a margarita except that they use honey as the sweetener. I love margaritas so it was nice to try something similar but still a little different. My friend ordered the Royal King ($20) and enjoyed that as well, though the pomegranates on the side had us really confused. We couldn't figure out whether we were supposed to eat it or not. Service was a bit slow. We had to wait a while before our server came to check on us for the bill and for other things. Overall I thought Castell was a good rooftop cocktail lounge in midtown. Definitely appreciated the ease of making the reservation.

the view was great from this place! it was outside and a little bit more elegant which we did not know so we felt a little underdressed. but still not too fancy! the service was slow and our server ended up forgetting to ask us for food so another server came up and got our food. i got the four cheese grilled cheese and omg!! it was amazing!!! i would definitely come back here just to have that same meal again. it filled me up even though it looks pretty small. i got the sang drink and it was really good with the passion fruit, will be back for that tomato soup and grilled cheese again!

Amazing rooftop chill spot for a date night or a small dinner party or group of friends or even if you just wanna be solo for a few hours with a decent view of the city skyline.

Wife and I came here to enjoy some nice drinks & a city view. They didn't disappoint. Smoked manhattan was delicious! My wife loved her rose wine. My 2 biggest complaints about the place 1. Badly needs a remodel or cleaning . VERY careworn, broken stools, dirty floors 2. Hostess . She must have been having a bad day because she was anything but welcoming or friendly

I came to Castell Rooftop Lounge for a mixer after a conference I attended in NYC. The company bought the drinks and food so it allowed for the ability to try a lot from their menu. The dry-aged beef sliders had a tasty garlic aioli, the four cheese grilled cheese came with a creamy tomato basil soup, and the spinach and onion empanadas were the perfect combination of crispy outer shell and a creamy and savory interior. The drinks were about what you would expect. The staff was friendly and kept the food coming. I did not get a chance to check out the actual rooftop seating area due to the size of our party but it appeared very nice, matching the elegant ambiance of the interior. It's a great spot for after-work drinks, a weekend mid-day hang out, or a casual date. I would definitely check out Castell Rooftop Lounge again.

Came here on a Monday night and arrived at 8pm, made a reservation but didn't really need one since they weren't that busy at that time. This bar is at the AC hotel. When you get off the elevator, the first thing you see is the lounge area with a fire place, really nice as it was cold that night. We had to wait for the host to seat us, we came for the rooftop views but they said that the blinds where covering the view (maybe they left it like that because it was cold?). We opted to sit outside although the inside seating had great views. Our server was fine, he took a while to take our order but he got everything right. He didn't check in on us though at all if we needed anything else, which was a bummer, but someone did keep refilling our waters. We had the sea salt crispy potatoes with the aioli and it was delicious. The tacos were tasty and the chicken skewers were good. For drinks I had the white sangria and the hubby had the Paloma drink (it's non-alcoholic on their menu but we asked for tequila) and it was really good. Overall it was a nice experience and we would definitely come back when we visit NYC.

Yummy Martini Tuesday at the bar on the rooftop. I was a little disappointed that all the seating on the patio was taken by a private party. I felt they should have left at least some of the seating available to all customers to take pictures and enjoy the warm evening.

The views are pretty good but 5 wings for 22 dollars is crazy and you have to be a alpha spice king to handle them they deep fry that stuff with wasabi and is covered with POUNDS of hot sauce and they said nothing about the wings even being remotely spicy.

This is a nice rooftop bar near Times Square. They have happy hour 4-6pm with $6 beers. I stopped in on a hot day to cool off and grab a beer. I thought it was a nice find. If you want a table you need to make a reservation, the bar is open seating.

Food, service and view were all memorable. Thanks for making my wife's birthday so special!

what a hidden gem! didn't wait too long at the bustling bar area before our lovely host invited us to an outdoor table, with some nice Midtown views. Gorgeous outdoor space! Glasses of Ravenos sparkling wine, fish-of-the-day ceviche with plantain chips, house made ricotta with toasted naan points, four-cheese grilled cheese w/ tomato soup.. all incredibly delicious and I wish my phone didn't die because everything looked heavenly and I wanted photos. Shout out to Nick for taking such great care of our table and being such a charismatic, easy going, helpful person! He made our night even more memorable. Neeeed to come back to try some of their cool colorful cocktails + some more of the FOOOOD!!

Made a reservation for 8:30 pm to celebrate my bday on 5/27. It's located on the 21st floor of the AC hotel. No need a key card to access, it'll bring you right up there. Super disappointed in tonight's service. If you're thinking about celebrating your bday here, don't. Sadly, I went off of the other reviews that had a great time, but maybe the difference is my bday falls on a major holiday weekend. Our waiter Mike, bless his heart did a terrible job, although I liked his personality, he could do better. First, we where greeted immediately right off the elevator. Told them we had reservations and thank God I booked way in advance cause it got packed! They didn't have any outside seats for the rest of the night when we got there. Also, since we got there early, they had us wait. Since we waited a while, the hostess, who I think is the manager opened a bottle of champagne for us, on the house and that was really nice of him! On the reservation I put it was my bday and requested outside seating so that's the only reason why I'm giving this place a 3/5 for doing that at least. Once we where seated, we took pictures and the view is amazing! Idk about you, but I feel like anything rooftop has amazing views of New York city, regardless if it's just buildings surrounding it! We ordered everything pretty much at the same time. I got a California red wine and my bf got a Pina something drink. For food, we got the charcuterie board, Cesar salad and Thai chicken skewers! The charcuterie board was 10/10, the best one I've had thus far. The bread on that board was *chefs kiss*, the Cesar salad was okay, I thought it came with a different type of protein, but it just came with chicken... nothing special. My favorite part about the chicken was the skin LOL. The Thai chicken was good, if you like spicy food. I'm not a fan of super spicy food so it was a hard pass for me, but my bf liked it! After we ate ALL our food, my bf kept trying to flag down our waiter but he never came around to check how the food was or if we needed anything else. My bf also placed another drink order called naked and something when we placed our desert order. For desert, we got the cookie and ice cream, which I thought was just ok. I couldn't tell what type of cookie it was. We still haven't gotten my bf's drink and by this time we killed our ice cream. You'd think since it's a drink, it shouldn't be that hard to make or take that long, but who knows what's really going on. All I know is that our waiter took forever and a day just to come around to us. When he finally showed up, we asked for the check. He said he removed the drink order but also didn't charge us for the salad, idk if that was a mistake or on purpose, but we'll take it. All in all, it was $89 without tip so not bad at all!! Would I come back here, probably not. But I do suggest to train Mike a bit better. Or maybe he is trained, and we just caught him on a busy night.. who knows! I just know he didn't do the best. Also, we did tell him it was my bday, but I guess they don't do anything special for bdays here!! I think this is a great place to eat at, just make sure you reserve and don't celebrate anything special cause the service might not be as great as you think it'd be = disappointing.

I hate to give a two star review because it may have been an off day but here was our experience. We had reservations for dinner and drinks after our flight in. We were staying at the hotel. The hostess was sweet. Once seated, no one came for a while until finally a man came up to take our order. He wasn't dressed in black like the other employees so we were confused for a moment on who he was as he didn't introduce himself as a waiter and was standing in front of us with his hands in his pockets. We finally got our drink order in with him and got our first drinks. We weren't checked on by him again until the very end. The saving grace for this place was another waiter, Nick checking in on us when no one else came. He took our food order. Once the food came out, it was done wrong. Nick brought it back to have it fixed. I guess the issue was they didn't have the right ingredients to make the food the way it was supposed to be made so they substituted the ingredient with something else. Luckily we noticed the switch in ingredients from what was on the menu AND confirmed by Nick as this was allergy related and could have ended much worse. So they just canceled that part of the order. We waited on our other food. It just never came for whatever reason. Nick brought us a complementary drink for the whole situation and we made the best of it but it felt very chaotic.

This is a great rooftop bar and the servers were so very nice and accommodating to our group. We came for the view and the happy hour drinks. The view was great and the drinks were awesome. It started to rain while we were there but no worries...they had a canopy that would automatically cover the terrace and shades to block the rain from coming in as well.

This is seemingly the place to be for happy hour, near Time Square. Located on the roof deck of the AC Hotel on the 21st floor and they open at 4pm. I got there right at 4 and went straight to the bar where the awesome Onaly was bartending/mixing. She's very pleasant and whipped me up a nice mezcal old fashioned. I then decided outside looked too nice not to grab a seat even though I was solo. The scene is very laid back and casual and has very nice views. I wound up with the very attractive and attentive Kim as a server and she was awesome. She recommended I go with the al pastor tacos and patatas bravas. Recommendations were spot on as I enjoyed my happy hour meal. Washed it all down with a couple more mezcal old fashioneds. Enjoyed myself here and would also come back for dinner if the opportunity knocks. You can come casual or a bit dressy if you like and its good for groups, dates and solo action.

Food is good, drinks good, but just need better service. You wait forever for your server. Views are ok, but the balcony seating should have been on the other side of the building. Totally not what i expected from the pictures

Great rooftop for a spring day. Loved the non pretentious vibes and the food menu. I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup and it was amazing. Drinks and service were solid. Doesn't feel touristy even though it's in the heart of mid town.

I love this place. I stayed at the hotel a few times. The rooftop is pretty cozy with nice views. It's actually pretty chill and somewhat quiet although located in Times Square. Almost didn't want to share b/c it's one of my favorite spots and you usually need a reservation b/c it's busy. Pro - the ambiance, great for a date night or just chill. Decent happy hour. Great drinks! Has one of my favorite drinks. Their drinks manage to stay cold without watering down with ice, major plus! This music is good. I love that there's indoor and outdoor seating as well as a indoor fireplace... defeats gives the cozy vibe. Cons - not enough food options or healthy options. It's more of a spot to chill and nibble. There are small bite size meals. If you're hungry you'll be spending a lot to try to fill up in my opinion b/c the plates are not cheap. All in all I highly recommend and will be back! it's a great place to chill in the hustle and bustle of the city. People frequent here whether they stay at the hotel or not. It makes for a great addition if you stay at the hotel.

good music and vibes, pretty nice views also. they have a nice martini happy hour on tuesdays (tini tuesday!)

Definitely more of a lounge than a brunch/ food place. Food is pricey but okay. The service was a little slow but very friendly and helpful.

On the 21st floor of the Marriott AC Hotel in Times Square, it's walking distance to Broadway and Madison Square Garden. This is a great Rooftop bar and everything you're looking for in Manhattan. Cozy and sophisticated the amazing views will definitely put a smile on your face. Inside and outside seating with high tops, comfy chairs and nice relaxing couches. Beautiful fireplace as you enter truly enhances the ambience. Nice menu with cocktails, wine, beer and light bites. Prices are fair and probably one of the more reasonable rooftop bars. If you're in the area, I highly recommend it.

Visited on a weeknight with reservations and was seated promptly. Love the views and ambiance here! It's stunning and perfect for photo ops, would be an ideal spot for a cute date or night out with the girls. We ordered several appetizers to share including avocado toast, potatoes, chicken skewers and empanadas. I would recommend the empanadas, it was delicious and the best out of all the appetizers. For drinks we ordered the Penicillin and the Picante Perfect. Both delicious and pricey with each drink being $20. The service could be better, we had to follow up a few times. I would go here again just for the VIEWS.

Overall rating: 4.8 What a beautiful rooftop in Times Square. I know I'm surprised myself too you know these rooftop bars, you really never know what you're going to get. But I really liked it! I believe I went on a happy hour & they had a great deal. Available Monday to Friday from 4-6 & it's worth it. $12 old fashioned, come on!! Wow oh wow. And it was good, not watered down. This is a very rare statement, but I recommend for tourists & locals. but do lower your expectations for a good view. It is Times Square afterall ;)

We came here to just get a drink and it was adequate for the drink $22 per drink is quite outrageous unfortunately. Go to drink was good I probably would rather go to a smaller bar. Yeah, The view is the reason I would come back. Drinks came out very quick.

What is a summer place in NY without a good old rooftop brunch? This place is so aesthetically pleasinnnng!! Customer service: They are very flexible, I called like 3 times to push my reservation and they were more than happy to do it. When we got there, we were seated and idk the guy was not that nice at first, but after that he was nice. The only thing tho is at no point did he check on us and see how we were doing. Food: Food was good but if you are looking for huge proportion, this is not the place for you because the proportion are not big at all. Drink: We had a peach bellini pitcher. It was good. Good amount of champagne. Coming back or nah? Idk tbh

I came here a few weeks ago with some friends visiting the city. We got a reservation for 5 people at 8:45pm. The rooftop is located within the AC hotel. There is an indoor space as well an outdoor space with lounge chairs and tables. The outdoor lounge is a nice place to hang out and catch up. The view itself is not great since it is obstructed by other neighboring skyscraper, but it's still a nice vibe. The cocktail drinks were exceptional to say. I had 'Something in the Air' and 'Smooth Talker'. Highly recommend the 'Something in the Air'! While the drinks were fantastic and the vibes were great, the service however does not meet up to par. Since I came a bit earlier than my group, I was able to grab a few drinks at the bar before moving to the table. However when we moved to the table with our group, no one came to take our orders after dropping off the drink menu for a good 10-15 minutes. Noted it was a bit busy for a summer Monday evening, still some level of attention would have suffice. At the end of the evening, our server was doing last call and asked if we were good on our drinks and if we wanted anything else. We told him, "Nope, we're good for now, thanks." He later then returned with another drink even though we had not ask for one. We told him that we didn't order it and he seemed puzzled on the situation. Eventually he ended up just leaving the drink with us. We didn't end up finishing the drink and of course it was added onto the final bill. Drinks alone definitely 5/5, but the service unfortunately was very lackluster.

The grilled cheese and tomato soup!??? what the f**. so delicious, amazing flavor balance and a NICE melt on the cheese. Also recommend the gin and tonic, it has a licorice type of scent to it that compliments the cucumber perfectly. I wound up telling 2 other tables to order what I did - it was that good. Came here on a whim for a small party - am now a regular. Special shout out to Mike the server and Lorenzio the bartender. I was early to the party and waiting alone, they made me feel comfortable and happy. This place will not be able to get rid of me, they made a mistake giving me such a good time!!!

I made a reservation for a group of 6 at 6 pm on a Tuesday evening to grab a drink with some friends before a show. We were seated immediately at the comfy seats on their outdoor balcony. The view is gorgeous and the service was great and exactly what I hope for from a rooftop bar. The only thing that was a little iffy is that some of the cushions were dripping on the bottom and got my friend's pants wet. We each ordered one of their specialty cocktails which were all good. My favorite was the Dragon Fruit Frose. We also got the Dry-Aged Beef Sliders, Artisanal Meat & Cheeses, and the Castell Caesar Salad with Chicken. The sliders only come with 2 which was a bit frustrating for a $20 "Larger Plate" and the charcuterie could've had a little more for the price as well. Despite small portion sizes everything tasted great. It's a great place to grab a couple drinks when it's nice out and maybe a snack or 2.

We wanted to dine outside on a beautiful day in NYC & came across this restaurant. Reviews said it's difficult to get in without reservations unless you get there just when they open at 4pm. We got there at 4:15 and we're seated immediately at a table between the inside and outside. We ordered drinks right away. I had a passion fruit sangria and hubby had the picante perfect with jalapeño tequila. My sangria was so good and strong! Hubs drink was good with a slice to it! We decided to share the artisanal meat and cheese board. It was a large serving of prosciutto, chorizo, manchego cheese, grapes, bread and olives. We devoured the whole thing. Every bit of food on that plate was divine! The wait staff was incredible as well! Very attentive and helpful.

It was a very nice rooftop lounge with a great view, however Mother nature was not cooperating the day we visited in early May 2022. We were staying at the AC Hotel and didn't realize we needed a reservation here. It was a cold and rainy day in NYC so everyone had the same idea to grab a drink indoors. We were seated outside since the 2 of us did not have a reservation. Even though they had outdoor heat lamps, it was still way too cold. Unfortunately we had to take our drinks back to our room. The 2 guys who sat next to us also had the same idea. Happy Hour only includes couple of drinks but no discounts for food or snacks.

Very good drinks! Nick is the most amazing bartender. Amazing service and so personable all around. If you come here ask for him!

Made a reservation, still had to wait another 15 minutes. Just a table on a side, not welcoming, did not offer suggestions .... Tapas were good, regular drinks.... Nothing amazing. The view was not incredible mostly because half of the place was closed for a private event. Not impressed to go back.

Lovely setting, great views even from the bar! Be sure to make reservations if you want to sit outside. Jane and I had delicious drinks (Paloma and G&T) and a satisfying small meal that was not super expensive. Will be going back!

A big shout out to the staff at Castell at the AC Hotel. MIA at the front was so inviting and accomodating when we arrived, and extremely gracious and friendly when we left. CHRIS and ALEJAH took great care of us as our servers. Thanks everyone!

Castell is a great rooftop bar in NYC right in times square. We had no reservations on a Wednesday night and we were able to get seated within about 10-15 minutes. We got an outdoor table and had some great views of the city! If you aren't lucky and not able to get a table they offer communal seating where you can sit at one of their couches. They have a full bar menu and some entrees and light snacks. We got an order of the catalan roasted vegetables with labneh yogurt served with naan bread. Then I had a Manhattan and my girlfriend got their sangria. I really enjoyed both the drinks but especially enjoyed the dip we got. It was really delicious and a very unique dish that I haven't had before. This is a great spot to get a drink either as a date night or grab something light before your next destination. I would definitely visit this place again! Also the service was great our drinks and food came out fast and everything was fresh.

A quick pit stop before going to watch Hamilton and this place is an absolute gem. We only grabbed drinks at the bar, but would come back for some of the small bar bites they serve. The views aren't insane, but you do get some nice views and can sit outside. We bellied up to the bar instead, but we're surrounded by picturesque views. Lorenzo took care of us and he was amazing. Recommended some drinks based on the spirit we liked and made perfect cocktails. I had their gin and tonic that's made with a Mediterranean tonic. We were only going to get one round but ended up getting a second round since they were so good.

Tried this rooftop out after work... the drinks were subpar and the food was not good. I asked for blue cheese for the wings we ordered and they said they don't have that? The service was also slow... could have been an off night but the only good thing about this place is the view. You can see the Empire State Building which was beautiful. Overall, there are better rooftop bars in Manhattan!

If you're looking for a chill vibe either before you head out or after you've gone out this place is amazing. Kinda RH Rooftop like in one section and then a super chill living room vibe in the other. Drinks are amazing, service is great and atmosphere is super cool.

Fabulous Rooftop Lounge in NYC! I highly recommend you book rsvp on OpenTable or you will not be seated amd there is no space to stand at the bar. I enjoyed 2 glasses of champagne and appreciate the very small bar against the wall with small stools and charging plugs which I desperately needed after depleting my battery spending the evening walking around Manhattan happily. Bartender was fantastic and quickly accommodated my dairy allergy by swithing the cheese on my sliders to guacamole; delicious alternative and high grade beef! Definitely recommend this spot while your in New York!

The whole staff is A1. Mixologist Lorenzo makes the best Manhattans Ambience is great, decor is great. Can't wait to return.

While I am a drinker, I don't go to rooftop bars as I find them needlessly expensive and pretentious. I don't care about the NYC view, I live in this city. Personal opinions aside this was a cool spot. Me and my friend arrived around 5. Happy hour is 4-6. I didn't like the old fashioned, but my friend loved it. Luckily she was willing to swap her margarita for it. Haha. I'm forgetting the name of the frozen drink but it was my favorite. Not on the HH menu. I took off a star because 10 minutes prior to 6 a woman comes up and says HH is over. I wouldn't have said anything and just closed out my tab. But my friend said we still have 10 minutes. Apparently they close out earlier because it takes time to make the drinks. That's a poor excuse. But she said she would honor it and we could get another drink for HH. Lovely view, spacious and comfortable. Rooftop bars may not all be so bad. Haha.

I'll be checking out a rooftop every Friday! Follow me on TikTok and IG for recaps! @miamcint Castell had an amazing interior and I love a rooftop that has an actual happy hour and real food! The drinks were good and potato's were great! The bar wasn't too crowded and the waitress consistently checked on us. Can't wait to go back!
