    Randomly Stopped here on a Friday night. Only stayed for 1 drink, as the place was super crowded. Service at the bar was fast. I enjoyed my drink but my boyfriend did not enjoy his lavender drink (he said it tasted like soap). Gorgeous views of the world trade and Jersey city!

    On Azul I keep vacillating between three and four stars. If you're really proactive and good at reconaissance, you might be able to tailor a great experience for yourself. If you're looking to just show up and have the venue pull themselves together, you might be disappointed. So, what do I mean by all of that? Well, let's begin with the fact that you can't make reservations online or via telephone and the email I sent, to the email address that they specified, went unanswered. I had this place on my list before as I had visited Bar Hugo (one level down from Azul) several years back. I took a chance and decided to visit on a Saturday afternoon. We got there pretty much right at opening. I was surprised to find that a small area was already reserved since they didn't answer my requests for a reservation. Despite the anxious start, I was immediately calmed by the assistance of our Hostess/Waitress Kirsten. She gave us a chance to look at available tables from either side of the Rooftop (There's a fantastic view of the Hudson River on one side but the sunlight is direct and might be uncomfortable for some). We elected to sit on the eastern (shaded) side of the rooftop which had a great view of the Freedom Tower. Their drinks were great! The frozen ones were perfect for a hot summer day. I enjoyed the small bites (guacamole, hummus, veggies etc.) but my companion felt they lacked a little bit in flavor. I'll let you be the judge on that. Meanwhile, the music was BUMPIN' (that's a good thing)! It was mostly musica urbana which I really liked. We held our table for a few hours and left satisfied to get dinner elsewhere. We noticed that the rooftop was closed to newcomers (i.e. security said to new people that they were at capacity). While I observed that I waited for a good 15 minutes for one of two bathrooms on the lower level (There are no restrooms on the top (Azul) level. So that was a little annoying to deal with on the way out. Bottom Line: Get there early. Scope the place out. Get comfortable with their drink menu and you should have a good time with a great view. Don't wait to use the restroom and good luck with getting an answer to your reservation request. P.S. The Rooftop seemed to only be accessible by stair. So I guess that means it's not ADA accessible?

    Arrived here a little after 5 pm on a Monday evening with a few friends. Was a little confused by where it was at first because the Hugo hotel entrance and Felix coffee shops entrance is connected. Luckily we arrived early and for seated right away. First impression, cute little enclosed rooftop. There also seems to be an outdoors area where they were having a private event so didn't get the chance to check it out. It was also one of the hottest days of the year, so my friends and I wanted to sit in the enclosed portion with AC. We sat right by the bar which was a nice private area from from the crowded side on the other side. What my friends and I loved about this place was how low key and chill it was. They also have happy hour until 9 pm which is hard to find. Our server was prompt and attentive which also made our experience great. Drinks were also delicious and not bad at $12 happy hour prices. Definitely worth a visit!

    I'm a big fan of the variety of views at this rooftop bar. The upper patio which is pretty spacious has a beautiful view of lower Manhattan. The indoor level below has a lot of cozy, upscale furniture with a nice view of FiDi and jersey city- def recommend going during sunset hours. The drinks were great and came out way faster than I expected. The servers and bartenders were super friendly as well. Will definitely be a regular here.

    Lavender fields

    Good place for meeting friends. My favorites: tacos and lavender fields. On weekdays went there without reservations.

    We originally wanted to go to Bar Hugo on a Monday afternoon, but it was apparently not open. Something about the weather? But this is also in the same hotel and NOT Bar Hugo, which is so confusing since nothing is labeled. No happy hour despite it being labeled on the menu. Views are pretty good, you can see the Freedom tower and towards Jersey depending on what side you're on. We got seated pretty fast. Food here is pretty expensive, but the portions are decently large. Service is a little hard to come by since there seems to be only one waitress. Sunkiss pitcher ($70)- it was definitely enough for 3 of us to get tipsy. They were surprisingly strong despite not having a strong alcohol flavor! Truffle fries ($10) - absolutely massive basket so it was quite worth it. Light truffle flavor. Lots to share between 3 people.

    This is a great rooftop bar to grab a drink at, mostly because of the views and, to some extent, the vibe. The views include New Jersey, the Statute of Liberty, the lower side of Manhattan including the financial district and some ways to the north. The music was sort of Latin and Spanish upbeat, almost dance tunes, and the cocktails were creative and boozy. Single drinks can be expensive but you can buy them by the pitcher which brings the per drink price down a little. The bottom line: If you're looking for a cool rooftop happy-hour place with great views, then this is a great place. The prices are a little on the high side but not unlike similar places.

    Braised flank steak tacos
    Alana K.

    I love rooftop bars and this one has been on my list for a while. I'm not crazy about the location. It's in a pretty desolate area with little to no other bars and restaurants around. The views are nice, you can see Jersey on one side but better, lower Manhattan with the Freedlm Tower on the other side. As for the drink, the frozen Passion Fruit Mojito is pretty tasty but it's at the upsetting NYC prices and size. The tiniest cup was $18. The food menu is extremely limited. They only offer 3 different types of tacos, 3 different "Bocaditos" (snacks)- guac/salsa, cheeseburgers sliders, a d fries. I orders the Brasied Flank Steak tacos. The price is again high- $16 for two tacos but surprisingly they are a decently filling. The tacos were had a good amount of meat that I was able to create 4 tacos from the double torillas tacos. The meat was a bit dry though and seemed to be lacking some of the toppings it was supposed to come with- roasted tomato and Jalepneo salsa, red onion, cilantro, cotija cheese. There was plenty cheese and I got a kick from the jalepeño, but I couldn't taste anything else. The seating is lounge style, low seats and low tables which isn't convenient for eating, you either have to bend over to each on the table or put the dish on your lap or hold it. The food was delivered in to-go boxes, which I'm not sure if that's how they always serve it or if they're taking precautions because of covid. In any case, it is windy on the rooftop and the flimsy boxes had potential to fly away many times. When I first got there, the bouncer told me there wasn't a spot for 2 and I needed to wait. He didnt know how long, I just had to come back, oh and also you can't stand in front of the hotel... Annoying but with limited options nearby I wasnt going to make a big deal about it. Good thing though is when the other member of my party came, he looked outside for me and told us a table just opened. I'm not sure if the process of no waitlist and come back later is how they usually do it but since not many people are flocking to the rooftop in herds at this time, it was fine for this time. The bouncer also told us the strict rules- keep mask on at your table until the first drink comes and then you can remove it but if you walk around, masks goes back on. Not a problem for us. The issue when we got upstairs was that the server had her nose out the entire time. It is a face mask to cover your mouth AND nose. Going around serving everyone with half of what should be covered sticking out made no sense. I understand that it's a lot to wear your mask all shift but that wouldn't help stop the spread if she had it (I'm not saying she did though. Idk her story). Overall the space is small, the drinks are good but expensive, the food menu is limited, the views are nice, but the staff doesn't stick to the mask fully on policy. There are better rooftops uptown which I'll stick to.

    They were super for our friends' private party. Our server, Barbara, was amaze Loved the watermelon spritz on the summer menu but margs were solid etc. Typical rooftop prices but for great drinks and beautiful view. Chill atmosphere, not too sceney, kinda hotelly, but come with friends and make it your own :)

    Poutine, supposedly
    Claire W.

    Usually I lend a bit of leniency to rooftop bars when it comes to the quality of the food and drink because everyone knows you're really paying for the view, but I could not recommend this place to anyone. I did come in October so I understand that the pandemic is making things difficult but save yourself the trip and go somewhere else. The drinks were overpriced ($18) for a tiny portion served in a plastic cup, but where the real problem lies was the food. Every member of our party was forced to order one item, the waiter admitted that all the food was made in the morning and then reheated upon ordering. Then somehow it took them an hour to reheat our food and it came in takeout boxes. And the quality was absolutely awful for ~$15. I got the poutine and it was so dry and flavorless. I could've gotten a better experience ordering myself takeout and climbing to the roof of our own apartment building. Please save yourself the trip!

    Azul Rooftop was poppin! such a chill beautiful view. the food and drinks were delicious. hospitality was phenomenal. Earl(security), Ariel(Supervisor), Lenys, Elvin, & Jimmy(bartenders/runners) made our night. GREAT SERVICE. thank you. im from long island and i'm so glad i took this trip to experience the city view with my two friends on a friday night. i have already recommended this spot to all my friends. La Vida Loca Drink & passion fruit mojito was my fav, we ended up getting a pitcher of something i forgot but it was worth it !! Guac &chips- the bomb.com, so good! chicken quesadillas-brings 3 and it was delicious the hot chicken sliders - amazingggg French fries- i'm a french fry lover and these were good ass fries lol THANK YOU AZUL ON THE ROOFTOP. Keep on being popping.

    I came here with some friends on the 4th of July hoping to see some fireworks from the rooftop and we had a FANTASTIC night. We didn't have a reservation or a table but ended up finding a seat and making friends with a few people which led us to one of the couch booths. The bartender and waitstaff were SUPER friendly, the drinks were AMAZING, and the small bites were DELICIOUS. I forget what the drink was called, but the tequila drink with cucumber and mint - was SO good. We went through a couple pitchers (yikes). The hummus and the fries were my top picks from the small bites menu. The seasoning on the fries is to die for and the crispy pita served with the hummus was scrumptious. & I can't forget about the views - as it's a rooftop this was one of the biggest selling points. We made some unforgettable memories up on this rooftop and I would highly recommend you check it out!

    Drinks

    Phenomenal views, trendy vibes and delicious drinks! I had two margaritas and guac & chips before it started raining. My friends and I received incredible service- I wish I could remember our waitress' name! Will most definitely return!!

We wanted to have after-dinner cocktails in a chill space, so we searched on our phones & saw Paradise Lost address via Google. We proceeded to walk down & was unable to find the establishment due to their being no front sign. After walking back & forth a few times, we saw another group walking towards the door & they confirmed the place. We walked inside the front door pressed a "doorbell" & lo & behold we gained entry after the previous group went inside. Definitely an incognito entrance. Once inside that door there is someone to greet you, & take your information. There is a forest/ grass/ jungle-looking foyer/ hallway we walked down to get to the next door. Before we knew it, we were near the "Paradise Lost No Vacancy" neon sign w/ an arrow pointing towards the snake-shaped knob door. It gets opened & a supercool speakeasy awaits.... Paradise Lost has mixed style table / seating arrangements throughout the place. A bar seating section, booth-style seating area, lounge- style seating area, etc. We got there a little after 7pm, so the afterwork crowd was in full swing. Paradise Lost has interesting atmosphere. At times a Gothic / Medieval Vibe, meets place w/ shipwreck decor, meets eleganct /club vibe w/ beautiful ceiling lighting, etc. Music played in the background. Staff are friendly, energetic, & attentive. We were pleasantly overwhelmed w/ the vast selection of tiki cocktails that were on the menu. Paradise Lost also have an intimate selection of snacks/ food menu items. This included Popcorn, Tater Tots, Devilled Eggs Rangoon Dip, etc. We ordered some cocktails served in unique tiki mugs & a bucket of popcorn to munch on w/ our drinks. The popcorn is flavored w/ Sea Buckthorn & Browm Butter, which gave it an special flavor profile. Our cocktails were well-prepared & nice & strong. Paradise Lost has individual unisex bathroom stalls & a communal vanity & sink area. The bathroom stalls have spooky voices coming from a speaker as you use the bathroom. I was so humorously taken aback, it had me laughing when I came out...Definitely a different thing to experience in the bathroom - lol. Before we left we watched one of the bartenders do a cocktail "fire" presentation for some patrons in a booth seated area. Wow.... Paradise Lost accepts walk-ins only, no reservations. Paradise Lost accepts groups of 8 or less, unless you are requesting to book the space for a private event. Ages 21+ paradiselost.nyc @paradiselostnyc Paradise Lost is open everyday - 5pm-2am.

Tucked into the Financial District, this spot blends old New York history with some of the best cocktails in the city--and it's easy to see why it's been named "World's Best Bar" more than once. The name itself has a wild backstory, inspired by a notorious 19th-century Irish-American gang from Five Points. It adds a layer of character to the place, but what really keeps people coming back is the atmosphere and the drinks. The space is split into two levels: a two lively, sawdust-floored Taprooms downstairs and a more refined Parlor upstairs if you're in the mood for a quieter, cocktail-focused experience. Drinks are the real highlight here. The Irish Coffee is widely considered one of the best in the world--rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with whiskey, coffee, and fresh cream. They also get creative with variations like a frozen version and even an Irish Coffee martini. If you want something different, the "Act Naturally" is a standout, mixing Irish whiskey with Guinness and fig in a way that works. Food is just as impressive for a bar. The lobster deviled eggs (topped with caviar) are a must-try, and the menu leans into elevated comfort food. Overall, The Dead Rabbit nails the balance between historic charm and modern cocktail excellence. The D.R. is one of those places that is never boring and consistently delivers.
