"For last-minute sunset drinks, it’s hard to compete with this cocktail spot at The Dream Hollywood. The fun playlists aren't too loud, no one cares if you notice their outfit, and there’s always a handful of tables set aside for walk-ins. You'll probably spot a pair of flip-flops resting by the pool as you approach the host stand. And since the glass railing gives everyone a perfect skyline view, it’s easy to sneak a photo with the Hollywood Sign. When you’ve outgrown Mama Shelter, The Highlight Room is the best alternative for drinks with a view in the area. Just know that after 9pm, the crowd takes a sharp, chaotic turn." - brant cox, arden shore
"On top of Dream Hollywood is the Highlight Room, which boasts some of the area’s best views. With clear-cut vistas looking out to Hollywood and beyond, it was outfitted to become an evening party space, full restaurant service with light California fare, two DJ booths, constant beats from large speakers, a pool, and bottle service." - Rebecca Roland
"This Lower East Side rooftop at the Moxy offers downtown skyline views with live DJs. Weekdays offer $5 glasses of rose at happy hour, pitchers of cocktails, and snacks from 5 to 9 p.m. Over at the reserved tables, it’s fancy people with bubbles or bottle service." - Eater Staff
"Perched atop the hotel, the Highlight Room is a rooftop bar that is part of the new Moxy property’s collection of venues and is reported to be open to guests now." - Melissa McCart
"Opening atop the forthcoming Moxy hotel, the Highlight Room is described as a rooftop bar and is one of five new Tao Group concepts arriving on the Lower East Side." - Luke Fortney
