The Delancey Rooftop

Great reggaton music in the basement but it gets very packed, definitely get tickets in advance for the reggaton basement portion if you don't want to spend $40 on a cover. The rooftop and main floor were free (I went prime time on a Saturday night and they did not charge to get in) however the music on those floors were iffy. Drinks were pretty expensive but average for a NYC club (around $17 shots and around $20 for a mixed drink). I have been there twice now and both times I really enjoyed the music and vibes in the basement but they unfortunately always overcrowd the basement even though the capacity is 97 (it seemed like a lot more than 97 people were in there).

I came here for a music event in the basement, the property is huge, 2 floors and a rooftop. The drinks are great, the beer is cold & street parking is doable.

Went to a really fun karaoke birthday party up on the roof. Great band and lots of fun. Outside is fun but really no view to speak of, just apartment buildings that loom over the bar's rooftop.

Went here for the first time on a Friday night. The bartender was amazing and made a custom drink for me and it was amazing. We arrived early on Friday because a friend’s band was playing, I will come now early because the service is custom and inviting. I can’t recommend this place enough to anyone looking to have a great night

The Delancey Rooftop offers a rare blend of ambiance, comfort, and impeccable service in the heart of New York. The rooftop seating provides a breathtaking view of the city, making it an ideal setting for both intimate gatherings and social events. The outdoor space is thoughtfully designed, featuring lush greenery and stylish decor that create an inviting atmosphere. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, ensuring a seamless experience from arrival to departure. Whether you're enjoying a casual evening or celebrating a special occasion, the combination of a vibrant setting and well-crafted drinks makes this venue an excellent choice. A visit here is more than just dining—it's an elevated experience.

Reducing to one star the DJs here really suck so bad, especially the girl on saturdays, they have no capability to read the pulse of the crowd. Old reciew: The only downside of this place is that the DJs here suck. The crowd is great, everything is great, if they had better DJs, it would level up the game of this place to the sky.

Great spot for an event. Roof can be open or closed depending on weather. Came here today for a lovely time with @DJKharisma and friends. The space is great, with great sound. The drinks are dumb expensive but delicious.

I had such a wonderful time at this spot. Cc greeted us as soon as we came in, she was such a sweetheart. They have 3 floors of different taste in music and I had an absolute blast. I recommend anyone visiting to come here and have a blast

I've actually been here a few times for private birthday parties. Once downstairs in the back room and another time upstairs in the patio. Both times I had a great time. Loved the vibes and different atmosphere. The patio is super nice, wide open spaces with ample seating and attentive bar and staff. It gets kind of loud there, so don't expect classy intimidate conversations. This is the type of place you get loud and drunk with a large group of folks. The downstairs has a private area where it's a giant room with a bar in the back. No seating though, so you're standing. The service here isn't as good as the bar is pretty small and I don't think there's wait staff or anyone to serve you, so you have to order at the bar and the lines and wait get pretty long because of it. Based on my conversations with the hosts, the drink spend minimum is pretty high. We packed both spots up to the brim with a bunch of thirsty socializers and I think both times we barely missed the target. I guess that's just part of the price you pay to booking a private venue in NYC. I would definitely recommend this place though overall and have your guests buy cocktails only

Came here to support friends who were performing on a Thursday night. Overall the service is good - including the bouncers, the person who accepts the entrance cash fee and the bartender service. I think it's interesting as a performance venue which was on the roof because there patio lounge chairs. With the bulkiness it doesn't allow for a ton of seating, and really the best spot to view the performances given the small stage is right in front of the stage (which is a small platform), rather than the sides. Will give good ratings due to service but there was no MC so performers had to fully MC themselves.

Coming here with unsure feeling because of the mix reviews. But this place is quite fun for me. Got there pretty early for saturday night, 10pm. Free entrance, fun music and outdoor rooftop. I like it! It's funny cause the patrons' demographic was from college freshmen to 40s. But it's a great place if you wanna drink and dance with your friends.

Met some friends celebrating a birthday and had a decent time. Came early around 8pm, it was house mixed with hip hop on the main floor. Leaving at 11p-12a, the younger crowd started to come in and it was standing room only by the bar. Good: -Friday night, door cover started at midnight -Multiple levels to choose from -Sections you can reserve with a minimum spend -Walkable from the F train -Different age groups all in attendance

Great spot for good vibes & good Caribbean music. I've been here a couple of times & it's never a disappointment.

I went two weeks ago and had such a nice night. There's 3 floors with Dj's, there's a roof top with tables. There's 3 different lounge vibes. They also have a basement with reggaeton playing, first floor is throwbacks /hip hop, above is a little bit of everything if I'm not mistaken. Definitely passed the vibe check drinks were okay, not bad. Of course it's the city so parking was a bit hard to come by. Also, I have more pics and videos but it can't seem to load on the Yelp app!

Ok this place is just not for me. Maybe if I was younger. It has typical teenage club vice; cheap quality alcohol, loud music and dingy dark walls. The restrooms were a nightmare, don't even get me started. I landed there with a group of friends, wasn't my pick but I just tagged along and instantly regretted. One of my friend went up to the bar to get some drinks and the bar tender behaved super weird with her. Perhaps she mistook her for another brown girl and accused her of being very a rude customer, who hasn't tipped well all night. My friend tried clarifying that it wasn't her but was of little help. Perhaps all we brown people look the same ‍ We later complained to the manager and they did apologize for the mix up. Overall it was a disappointing experience. I think I will stick to my other fancy rooftop bars.

I don't recommend the Delancey place as this place is definitely not LGBTQ-friendly; their bouncers exhibit homophobia. I was thrown out of the establishment without warning or explanation. Another staff member witnessed the aggressive actions and acknowledged that a warning should have been given. At the same time, the bouncer displayed aggressive behavior towards another individual, who happened to be gay and was celebrating pride at the venue. Management needs to address this unnecessary aggression towards customers. Unfortunately, this experience ruined my night.

This establishment charged me $60 Mother Freakin Dollars for brunch with unlimited HOUSE DRINKS AND An ENTREE for 2hrs which was technically A freaking APPETIZER SMH I will never return. Even speaking to the party promoter he didn't help or compensate with the issue (starvation!!!) I WILL NEVER COME BACK HERE!!! Oh the DJ specifically on the 1st floor was poppin (after the 2hr Brunch is over)

I officially only want to go out if I can dance and, guess what? YOU CAN DANCE HERE. I met some friends here for late drinks and had an absolute blast. The upstairs is pretty calm. There's tons of seating, you can actually talk and hear your friends and another substantial bar. Downstairs is more of the crowded bar feel. Never too far from another person or group, toes getting stepped on and lots of dancing. The average age was on the young side, 23-25 but I had an amazing time shaking my butt and dancing with friends. They have a coat check for which is always nice and if you do use them, I recommend taking a picture of your ticket incase you lose it. (That is honestly just good advice for all future coat rooms everywhere). I would recommend if the above vibe is what you're looking for and you don't mind the youngins.

Great service. Amazing bouncers. Love this club so much. 10/10. Would come here every time I'm in New York. Jacey is the best bouncer!!!

It was a no for me. I came here for brunch and I wished I would have managed my expectations because I was truly disappointed! We were the firsts guests to arrive for the 2pm brunch and once we sat down I realized the the DJ had at not arrived. Music is was being played but it was super low and not the vibe I was going for. After sitting down, we placed our order. The menu says "bites" and they really mean it. I ended up with two measly chicken sliders and sweet potato hash. There should have been more substantial options as unlimited drinks were part of the package. They have a few options for drinks including mimosa, sangrias, rum punch and a few other tropical drinks. My friend and I switched between a few and settled on the mimosa. Everything else was a miss ! After almost an hour, the DJ arrives and is set up. He begins playing the worst songs and it really killed the vibe. As soon as the music got better it was time for the next set of patrons to enter and we had to leave. Overall, the experience was lackluster. I definitely would not return, which is such a bummer because it's a really cute spot. The menu needs work and there should be an option to order outside of the pre-fixe. The 2 stars are for the excellent servers.

Reggaeton night on Fridays is soooooo good. Free entry + champagne w check in ! Boy friendly too

This is such a beautiful night out spot! It doesn't seen much from the outside but the 2nd and 3rd floor is all party. 2nd floor requires special access but the 3rd floor is an indoor roof top with all glass and glass high ceilings. The whole entire place has live plants hanging with trees and vines. It feels like I walked into a magical indoor garden. The DJ was amazing and the music was so good. Drinks are standard NY price. A great night-out spot. Everything is so beautiful!

One of the best club in NYC, no cover fee, decent drinks and nice music. There are third floor and each floor has a different vide like the first floor is more like pop music, the basement is more like Latin/reggae music which every time I go to the basement it was pack with people so there isn't a lot of space to dance compared to the first floor. The roof is more for social as the music is more quieter compared to the music on other floor. No one is really dancing on the roof but mostly talking and socializing

Circus or a strip show? This isn't what was billed, is it? When you start a 'circus' show late with a stripper? Then follows with another more acrobat male stripper, sandwiched by a 'ringmaster' who is really a wanna-be but can not sing especially with the awful sound system, and a 'break' after just the two strip shows of 10 minutes total?Yes, they all add up to quite a disaster of an evening.

My band played here once and once is enough. The sound guy was intrusive and atrocious. Always messing with the equalization and levels on his iPad and walking on and off stage during the performance. It was beyond annoying. This venue is trashy and gross. Will not play here again.

Don't waste your time coming here for a night out. We bought tickets online for around $20 for girls and $30 for guys. When we got there, there was a massive line that stretched around the block with at least an hour or 90 min wait. They claimed to be at capacity, but when we got in eventually it was not full. Getting in is another problem. Even though we bought tickets, when they scanned them they claimed they were invalid. We heard from numerous other people that they had this issue as well, so it felt almost as a scam. The only reason we got in was because the bouncer recognized me and was really nice Inside, the venue is stunning. It's 3 floors with a rooftop. The music was alright, but they would change the songs as soon as it got good so it wasn't very satisfying. Overall, there are better clubs in the city so I wouldn't waste your time on this one

Would give zero stars if possible. Worst time. No space definitely a fire and safety hazard. The drinks were so bad and the service was terrible. The manager was trying to pile people into the basement. Couldn't move and breathing was tough down there. They want you to push in when there's no possibility place to go. Manager only cares about money and not the people what so ever. Go anyone but here trust me.

- Right by the Williamsburg bridge so it's further away from the popping bars on the LES - The free glass of house champagne is only for weekdays - 2 floors; first floor has louder music, dancefloor, second floor is the 'rooftop' that's not really outside but it's more quiet and you can actually chat - There are plants everywhere that creates some privacy for the tables - Not a big fan of the music, nothing to really dance to - obscure pop songs - We got there around 10:30/11 and it was super empty. About 6-7 people on the dance-floor and everyone else was upstairs - We got bored and left not too long after

Wouldn't visit or get food here again. Not necessarily because the food was bad, although it wasn't the best ( flavor, size, quality) but because the service. Specifically with a female bartender who was placed on the rooftop that must've woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Absolutely rude and not helpful when placing my order. I came here to watch a performance and that's why I was here but wouldn't come back for that or generally.

I usually don't review clubs, but we were in the area to check out a neighboring bar and we happened to discover this spot. We're glad we did. The music was great! DJ seemed to have played all the best hip hop of New York artists. They had a rooftop as well, but it was overly crowded, so we just hung out at the downstairs part. No cover that night. Would return!

I came to Delancey to support a friend's band who was playing in the basement and it was a fun time! They have live music in the basement and a dance floor on the first floor so there's something for everyone! The dance floor on the first floor has a disco ball and they seemed to be playing top hits. Once all the live bands finished up, the music in the basement switched to Hispanic music. Overall a fun place to end the night! Only giving it a 4/5 because it can get kinda hot and musty in the basement.

Large, two-story bar that works well for a late-ish night, large group meet up spot that trades the aesthetics/boujee drinks usual NYC bars can have with not having to wait in a ridiculous line/buying a table. $12 a drink. 4/5 stars as a night spot.

Been here numerous times and this review is way past due. No dull moments here. The 3 levels are such a change of vibe and energy in the place. The downstairs is a hit or miss depending who is DJing. The main floor is already buzzing usually with the DJ and the rooftop has a nice scenery, good to sit back and chill (hardly ever go up there). I like that the place had a space for everyone. Staff has always been friendly no issues. The prices are NYC we get what we get! Would recommend if looking for a night out in LES (Lower East Side) for a great time. Usually no wait to get in.

I was here for a gather event. This is one of the more popular rooftop bar they have in NYC. They accept reservation and it can be made by directly calling them. The only thing I was going to comment on is how cold it was at the rooftop and they have no heating lamps. Also the bathroom is downstairs where the indoor section is, which made it a little inconvenient . However the vibe and ambience made it a desire place to hang out with friends. They have a full bar with a variety of alcohol selection. They serve light food like tacos etc. Besides the food and drinks the music was awesome. However service was kinda not up to par. It took a while for a server to get us the Bill..

The atmosphere is good however it can get incredibly packed/crowded depending on the night you decide to go even by night club standards. The seating areas tend to be unsanitary with stained couch cushions and such. The drinks are very expensive and they pressure you to tip 15% or more for every drink/shot which can ruin the mood and get awkward. It's a big place with different floors playing different music with different vibes my favorite is the roof top. All in all, I would come again!

Okay I don't usually review on Yelp but my Google review isn't being seen and they deleted my comment off Instagram and blocked me there so here we go. I was there Saturday night for my friend's open bar. The first drinks me and my bf get are two Red Bull Vodkas. The bartender told us Red Bulls are not under the package, which is fine, we were still willing to pay. She smirks and tells us, "If you leave me a tip then I'll let it slide", so we hand her cash. Later on we order two jack and cokes from another bartender. He gives it to us then tells us that actually those drinks weren't under the package either. If we leave a tip then he'll charge us just for the soda. That bartender tells my bf that he didn't tip enough, but my bf just walks away. Later on my bf realizes he lost his phone. I call it a few times and it rings all the way through. We checked all the spots we stood at the rooftop, and he asks the bartender if they've seen it. He gets an immediate no. We check the bathrooms and bar downstairs, nothing. We asked another friend to ask the bartender, another no. I start getting desperate and telling everyone around me, another friend states that she did hear the bartender ask "is this anyone's phone?". My friend and bf agree maybe it's because the bartenders didn't like them for not tipping enough. I take off my wristband and walk towards the bar while calling again. Lo and behold, it's there. Face up and lit up on their side of the bar. I hang up just to confirm, and the phone there automatically stops ringing. I pointed at the phone saying "that's my phone" for them to finally get it back. This place isn't just unprofessional, they're actually scamming at this point. The host of my party told me he had put a 20% tip after taxes beforehand so the audacity of them to try to charge for drinks and beg us for more tips then to keep lying to our faces is actually disrespectful. The fact that they'll try to take this review down or hide just like my others ones is scary. Do yourselves a favor and stay far far away from this place.

Trash place. The bartenders essentially stole my friends phone during a birthday party because they were upset "we didn't tip enough". We had tipped 20% and were giving them extra tips on top. I had never seen that level of unprofessionalism. When we complained to the business on Instagram they blocked us, and they suppress Google reviews. That's why their rating on Google is higher than Yelp. The place is unprofessional, and doesn't care for the customers.

I usually like this place due to the different music and floors, but recently, it was disappointing. An individual from security was extremely rude, banging on the doors and screaming when people were just using the restroom. Very unprofessional and inappropriate. It also seemed like every floor we went to was EDM-remixed songs, instead of the usual wide range of music.

I went there on March 24, 2022 and there was a DJ there that I know. The atmosphere is very nice. I ordered one drink. I enjoyed myself.

I love this place so much there's hispanic music downstairs i love so much!! The environment is amazing

This place has mellow vibe. A good chill spot with friends. I went during the day & had tapas & drinks. Would recommend

3.5 stars. I'm fond of The Delancey. And everytime I visited, it was through an organizer for some event. This evening, Thrillist sponsored Destination Wendy's whereupon new beverages would be introduced at Wendy's. Non alcohol, of course. Showing its age on the main floor, but resembling the tropics on the rooftop, The Delancey has a charming element to it. I typically won't trek here as it is literally near the Williamsburg Bridge ( not one of my desired locations) which accounts for why all my visits were events. But I do like it. This special event highlighted six varieties of Bacardi drinks, mini stuffed potatoes, sliders and chocolate chip sandwiches with frosting for a filling. All satisfactory, particularly the colorful drinks. Their music is my kind of music---MJ, Bonjovi and all the familiar sing-a-long pop/hip hop most of us love. But it was the rooftop itself that was the perfect host. With palm tree plants galore and cabana style seating, this venue offered a delightful ambiance on a hot summer night. It was breezy and comfortable. I cannot write about what The Delancey is all about on an ordinary evening. I'm sure quite crowded. In my opinion, The Delancey is a chill place to visit without any pretension.

I enjoyed this place a lot! Super cute vibe; large, open & airy upstairs area. Couches and comfy chairs spread about. Cocktails pricey @$14 a pop but typically city stuff when you're paying for a vibe. Got some Cuomo chicken slider sandwiches and they were pretty decent also. I would recommend this place as somewhere to go when you are looking for a cute vibe that's different than your typical bar atmosphere.

love this place the people are so nice in there.And the drinks are really good .I love the vibe

Great energy. This establishment is very spacious and everyone is able to have a good time. Service was also good and staff are friendly.

Well, surprise, surprise. Everybody enjoys a good surprise, and that is what brought me here, this past Saturday. We arrived here very early, around 9PM, because we had to get here before the birthday person and his girlfriend did. It was relatively empty downstairs, but the rooftop had a lot more people. In about two hours, that all changed, and the place began to fill out. We had a section, so it made it bearable. What wasn't bearable was the music, it was kinda awful; they later began to play better music as the crowd came, but they may want to get a better DJ. It seemed at least one other group was celebrating a birthday, and it seems to be what this place specializes in, but it had more of a college bar feel, and as I'm way past that point in life, I probably wouldn't return. The staff was pleasant and helpful. My friend enjoyed and that's the important part.

TRASH!!!! TRASH!!!! TRASHHHHHHHH THE BRUNCH IS WHACK!!! It's trash...a waste of my Sunday afternoon. The ambiance is cool & that's the only reason I gave it an extra star. However ITS TRASH!!! Garbage!!! Just horrible. For $55 which they secure @ entry. Our time slot was 6-8 & we were shorted about 30 minutes cause they were running behind. So busy they didn't call us for our table as the hostess said she would. The promoter called himself making up for it but buying my party drinks but it don't reconcile the problem for me. Do as you say. Give me what I pay for Ohhh man the drinks were HORRIBLE!!! Nasty!!! We tried all the drinks included in our unlimited/open bar menu & every drink sucked. Only good thing is we were able to get beer The food...is a JOKE!!! They had the nerve to Serve in these little silver containers. I should've known based on the table size they weren't serving no real dishes. Shit was finger food/appetizer at best. My fault for not checking the menu. No hookah. Music was cool. Ambiance is cool. Maybe this spot is cool for patting but brunch is a NOOO. You aren't missing anything. Trust pick some there else. This is one to avoid

If you're from out of town be careful when going to this bar. The music was great, the drinks were alright. This one star comes from the fact that my friend's phone got stolen along with 5 other people in the span of one hour. Obviously things like this happen but it all happened downstairs at the same time. Management didn't do anything until the police arrived and everyone was filling out reports. During that the police pointed out that EVERYONE had an ID that was out of state....who were the only ones that knew who was out of state? The SECURITY who selectively scanned IDs. Just be extra cautious if you go here!

Always an amazing time. The music was hittn hard tonight and the croud was super energetic. We have been coming here for the past Few months and this place is always a treat. The drinks are served up pretty quickly and the music is very diverse. We had a doublle date here tonitee and the spoT was a hot as usual. I will be back more often.

This place's food was trashed. So nasty and not worth the price. Never again.... I'm so annoyed...

Group of friends were planning a night out at Delancey. We called and asked if there was a cover. They said no but when we showed up they said there was a cover of 10$. We explained that we called and the guy was rude and was trying to pressure us to pay. While talking to him two other groups were able to get in without paying. Would not recommend this place

Roomy, nice bar. The big room with the stage sounded good and the mix was great and not too loud.

DJ downstairs was terrible. Too crowded. Drinks overpriced. Music first floor was terrible on a Saturday night. No reggaeton that was promised! They have this "roof entry" you need a wristband for, but people sneak in anyway because it's just the second floor with a tiny view at the very end. Ugly chicks anyway and so crowded that people stink up the place.

Sabina is the most professional bartender I have met. I live around the corner, I'm a 35 yo professional so I know what I'm talking about.

3 stars for venue 3.5 stars for music. This is my safety net for partying. When all else fails, or when I cant decide on where to go, this is my go to spot. No cover charge all night. It's a bar with loud dancing music on the ground floor, and a second floor with music that's not blasting in your ears so you can chat and whatnot. They call it a roof top, but it's not completely outdoors. Nothing interesting to see on this "rooftop". Music is hit or miss depending on when you go. Usually they play top 40, hip hop, throwbacks. It's a good mix of music. Place is usually crowded, and hot. They need to turn on the AC. Drinks are expensive, as usual in NYC. 4 shots for $56. I was designated driver, so I drank water all night. Gave me a stomach ache. Ugh. Pros: Place doesnt really have a dress code. My aunt who was in plain clothes was able to come in by herself without a problem. -music is usually danceable -no cover charge

We visited the Delancey rooftop for my wife's post dinner party celebration. Needles to say we had a blast. The view was amazing, staff was friendly, cocktails so good we had one too many. We will definitely be back soon.

My top 5 places to go in the city for over 5 years. Great crowd nice rooftop and great music.

Went on Friday June 16th. Good: Music was pretty good. Open seating upstairs. Bar upstairs & downstairs. Most people were friendly. Bad: At the bar upstairs, I was served a bottle of corona with rust all over it. I highly suggest you double check those beers before serving. When I brought up to the bartender at the upstairs bar, she nonchalantly took the bottle and gave me another. Not that I expected an apology or anything but her reaction made it seem like this was not the first time she's encountered this. Regardless, I do not plan on returning.
