City Winery Rockefeller Center

If you’re coming to this place then you’re absolutely coming for the experience. During the holiday they open the igloos and it was an enjoyable experience. There is this place and another rooftop bars that are the only to do this in Manhattan. This place was very accommodating, and we were able to get a reservation two days before. We got lucky because the reservations book up pretty fast. There is a minimum of $250 in food and beverage, for up to five guests and they charge you additional for each guest. The price wasn’t so bad compared to the other location in Manhattan which I believe is up to $80 per person. Reservations are only for a 90-minute seating. The staff was attentive and helpful, and they allowed us to sit some additional time since the reservation after us had canceled which was kind of them. Once again, you’re really coming to this place for the experience, the coziness and the views of beautiful Rockefeller Center during the winter.

No wine flights sold at this location; I should've called ahead. Rather, I enjoyed this glass of lightly chilled Cabernet Sauvignon.

**Update**: I wanted to update my prior negative review of City Winery. My main issue was having trouble finding the pop-up location (which I now know is located across from the Jewel Hotel). Shortly after posting my review I was contacted by the City Winery team who apologized and we’re very concerned about my experience. They coordinated with my wife to find time for us to visit and we had an enjoyable experience the following weekend! The tents were very warm and the view of the Rockefeller tree was great. They took great care of us and the service was amazing, our waiter was very attentive and friendly. We ordered the charcuterie board and everything tasted great and paired well with the wine. As for the wine, we tried the Rose, Riesling, and Cava and enjoyed all three of them. This was the experience we were hoping for initially and I have to say they delivered. I definitely recommend for anyone looking for a fun Christmas-y outing in NYC

Always a “must” whenever we are in NYC! Great wine, great staff, great atmosphere in the shadows of 30Rock.

The pop up bar is actually across Rockefeller Plaza just north of the tree and ice skating rink. Great way to get out of the crowds while taking in the Christmas sprit and view of the tree and have a drink. They offer a few wines, beer, some snacks. Look around for seating because some is tucked away in corners like these under the umbrellas. The winter domes (clear plastic heated seating) can be privately booked online at Resy for $250 food/beverage minimum for 5 people over 90 minutes. There was one dome that was open to the public when we were there but it was at capacity so I didn’t get to go inside.

Poor service and food, not worth how expensive it is even though the outdoor dome space is nice and on Rockefeller plaza. Drinks were in paper cups, the chips and crackers were served in boxes. And they didn’t have a menu (digital or paper) so no one could know the prices for their items. We were not informed when we walked in about a $250 minimum charge for coming which is important information to mention when you walk into any establishment. The ambiance of the outdoor dome was very nice, but the service and presentation of food/drinks and sneakiness around how much you’re paying for this more than ruined the experience.

Fun pop-up right at Rockefeller, outdoor only (some closed up igloos). Spacing available, have sanitizer too. Menu includes wine on tap, some snacks. Open until 8 pm. Look out for the food truck across American Girl store off 51st

My girlfriend took me down to the city on Wednesday to go see the tree and do some shopping we ended up stopping by here and grab a glass of wine and enjoy the views. The guys there were so kind and attentive we loved our experience there and I ended up leaving there a fiancée!!! Thank you for the amazing time we will definitely be back
