the Press Lounge

I visited the Press Lounge in New York City, and the experience was truly impressive. The rooftop setting offered stunning panoramic views of the skyline, creating a calm yet luxurious atmosphere perfect for unwinding. The ambience was sleek and modern, with comfortable seating and a relaxed vibe that made the space feel elevated without being pretentious. The service was attentive and professional, with staff who handled the crowd smoothly and kept everything moving at a steady pace. The cocktails were well-crafted, refreshing, and beautifully presented, adding to the overall experience. Despite being a popular spot, the wait time was reasonable, and the environment never felt chaotic. Overall, Press Lounge delivered breathtaking views, great drinks, and polished service—an ideal rooftop destination for a laid-back, memorable evening.

Went here for 5:15pm to 7:15pm Hudson Vu sunset experience through the Ink 48 Hotel. I recommend this experience for anyone who wants to see a pretty sunset on Manhattan over the Hudson River and then a good view of the West side of the City at night . The staff are very good and the food is also very delicious (bar bites & cocktails). Enjoy !

An unforgettable experience with stunning views over Times Square and New York’s iconic skyline. The food was absolutely fantastic and beautifully prepared, and the cocktails were just as impressive. What truly elevated the evening was the exceptional service-warm, attentive, and professional throughout. A special thank you to Sofia and the manager S for making us feel so welcome and taken care of. Everything was outstanding, from start to finish. Highly recommended!❤️✨

This establishment has changed ownership and is no longer Press Lounge. Unfortunately, the hostess, Ebony, provided ultimate subpar service. After a $250+ expenditure, her unprofessional demeanor and lack of floor management skills were evident. I would advise patrons to exercise caution. To management, I suggest retraining Ebony or reconsidering her role to improve customer experience.

Such a beautiful rooftop, however their reservation system makes no sense. I have been here many times and I know it’s always empty. Hence, why the need for a reservation? I get it. The allure of exclusivity and maybe table organization? But, it is a rooftop. At least, offer walks ins to wait if a “reservation” does not come in. Still recommend to go, because of the view🎀🥳 -However, hoping management reads this and understands they are losing $$$$$. If you are going, PLEASE make a reservation, have valid ID and follow their clothes policy. Took a picture of their reservation link, but you can also go to their website directly.

Well prepared food + nice & welcoming staff! We liked the avocado toast especially. Also the fried chicken is unbelievablly juicy! Must try! Thank you all for what you have done for my mom's birthday! 😊😁

We had such an amazing experience thanks to our server, Sophia! She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The rooftop view was absolutely stunning one of the best in the city and paired perfectly with the atmosphere. The service was top-notch, the drinks were delicious, and Sophia’s recommendations were spot on. Couldn’t have asked for a better night! 10/10

Excellent environment, interesting menu selections with a wide variety including some vegetarian dishes. Meal service was very good, though plan on 1.5-2 hours for dinner. Portion size could be optimized… appetizers were a bit large, pasta and main dishes were a bit small. Overall great experience with room to grow.
