I mean yes, the drinks are expensive you're on a rooftop pool in NYC...but both the quality and selection are great and the sushi is so good!! $7 uni nigiri by the pool?? Count me in forever! I definitely enjoyed the nigiri more than the rolls (I tried both spicy tuna and yellow tail jalapeño) but the quality was way better than I expected for a poolside bar. I also thought the rose was high quality for the $14 price and a better option than the couple cocktails I tried. It's easy to hang up here for a couple hours and spend $400 so be careful ;) The staff is helpful but you might have to wave them down. I visited on a Friday during the day and had no problem ordering/etc. but on a busy Saturday you need to be a little more proactive with catching a servers attention. read more

Here is a fantastic find that has not been wrecked by the maddening crowd - Bar D'eau at the new Trump SoHo. Calling this location SoHo is a bit of a stretch. It is sort of in a no mans land between SoHo, West Village and Tribeca. That is ok as it is 1 block from a C/E train stop. The bar is tucked away up on the 7th floor of the Trump hotel. The buildings in the area are relatively low-rise, so sun and sky are not too much of an issue. The bar has an air-conditioned indoor space with floor to ceiling glass for dummies who do not like to be outside in warm weather. Outside is the main event - with a small pool and mini waterfalls, plus lots of white marble and comfy seating in the large patio area near the pool. The space is fantastic and very relaxing. The prices on the booze were ok in my book. The one beef I had was that they definitely had a "we just opened" feel - i.e. disorganized. There were several servers and a stuffy looking guy in a skinny suit (with a fat necktie) all buzzing around a half empty pool area - all ignoring me. I had no idea if I should seat myself, ask a server to seat me or go to the dude in the skinny suit. I ended up getting a seat, only to be waited on by 2 different servers. The one who delivered my drinks nervously asked me for a credit card to start a tab "as ummm they uhhh are worried about people walkin' out without payin' " - wow, that was odd. Oh well, not that big of a deal. I had a nice little drink on a beautiful late spring day and found a new spot - all good in my book. read more

Very gorgeous view and a friendly hostess along with a swimming pool right next to the bar. I imagine this is not a cheap place for drinks but I can't speak on that since I've only had water or gotten drinks bought for me here. At the events I went to, it was very crowded so bar service took forever to get. The bathroom on that level also had a long line but I imagine the situation is different when it's less crowded. read more

Trump service? Not at this place. The manager was new which may mean it was a blip in time but who knows. The general vibe was of inattentive chaos with selective service to people that were making the most noise of disappointment. Umbrella, no, can't do that -- and then minutes later one is being dragged down to someone further away from the pool area. Even when service came you either had to try three times to communicate an order or you would never see them again to ask for something else. Ironically the entire deck is relatively small so you would think things would be easier -- perhaps next time if there is one. read more

This has the potential to be a really good rooftop bar. Located on the 7th floor of the trump hotel in Soho, Bar D'eau is a chic and trendy bar/lounge with both an inside and outside section. The decor and setup will remind you of a beach club in Miami, but with a more laid back atmosphere. The inside is a bit small and can seem extra tight at times when trying to move around. Though if you catch this place during times when it's not busy, it's quite relaxing and a perfect place to grab a drink during the warmer months. There are a few tables spread around the inside and the a couple of seats at the bar. Floor to ceiling doors separate the bar area inside from the deck which holds an awesome pool, lounge chairs, and tables spread around for casual drinkers and those not partaking in the pool. The entire outside section is fairly spacious and balances out the inside really well. During warmer months, this kind of view is what it's all about The drinks here are average unfortunately, and this, in my opinion, is what's keeping that place back from being great. Make some quality drinks and you definitely have a winner... Awesome atmosphere, beautiful place, summer vibe... It's all here, just a little small on the inside and average drinks. They do have a good liquor selection though. read more

This place is priced like it's an exclusive rooftop bar with a beautiful view. I ordered a gin martini (just Tanqueray, not anything fancy like Hendricks) and a mojito. The bill came out to $40. Even worse, the martini was subpar and the olives were mushy. There is a nice empty spot at the back of the bar if you go all the way down the patio and around the side of the building. The view up the building is pretty spectacular--there is a strange effect that makes the building look like it's shrouded in fog. Besides this, there isn't much worthwhile about this bar. What was really annoying is that someone had thrown up in the elevator and on our way out we told them. They said they already knew and were going to clean it! I'm no hotel manager, but I'm pretty sure that when someone throws up in your elevator and you know about it, you should stop it immediately so no one has to experience the foul smell. read more

We visited Trump SoHo hotel (very nice by the way!) to check out this rooftop "bar". It's really not a bar. More like a rooftop pool that people sit around. It's a nice casual spot during the daytime. It's definitely not located in SoHo. More like South Village. read more

This rooftop bar is for hotel guests and swimmers mostly. There are a dozen or so chairs surrounding a small pool. The bar itself is fine and I enjoyed my Jalepeno / Watermelon cocktail. The staff is sluggish - my wife and I waited for 15 minutes for someone to come to our table and then another 15 for a round of drinks. There were maybe 10 other guests in the entire bar. Additionally - for a tiny wine list, there were 3 wines that were out of stock. So you order your wine, wait the 15 minutes for the waiter to return, just to find out you'll need to pick something completely different. I don't think this place is intended for non-hotel guests and I expect that those looking to swim and booze, it's probably fine. read more

You should not go here. You should stay home and leave it for me & my friends. Well, except if it's cold and/or rainy. Then you can go here, I won't mind. read more

OMGG! This place was so good I wanted to cry. It looks small at first glance but it is actually quite expansive (especially when you enter the outdoor terrace area). The decor is luxe, service was great, management was hospitable and competent, and the food & beverages were actually delicious and nutritious! Spring street is definitely a trek for me but the pilgrimage is worth it. I will be back! read more

Really lovely space in the West Village/Soho area. Well designed, comfortable, and serene. Service was very nice - different waitresses kept checking up on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Very chill vibe on a cool Thursday evening. We were there on the early side, for after-work drinks, and the place was pretty empty. The menu is overpriced, but nothing beyond the regular rooftop mark-up. Kobe beef sliders were pretty good. Cocktails were a disappointment. You don't have to hire top mixologists if you don't want to, but at $17, have to be able to make a decent, drinkable mojito. Will try the wine next time. read more

Welcome to the windiest bar in New York. When our server was asked, she joked about the cabanas that went over the side, gone with the wind. It's on a rooftop, but doesn't have a view, except to the five story billboard across the street. The interior space is cramped and the decor unremarkable. In fact, the foil wallpaper and cheesy chandeliers reminded me of an interior from 1965. The service and cocktails were fine. A martini will cost you $22, plus gratuity, which they add on to the total for your convenience. They must feel justified with the price scheme because you're in a "Trump" hotel. However, I had the impression they were pretending this was a great experience and hoping the guests would buy into it. Almost any bar in Soho is more authentic, cheaper, and convivial than this place. read more

Pool rooftop bar. Nice ambience but limited table seating outside. There are many lounge chairs by the pool which is nice but maybe not the best for a large group of people unless you want to stand. Cocktails are more that $18, beers are regularly priced. Didn't try the food but almonds and olives for $14 is a little much for me. There was hardly anyone there on a warm Thursday evening. Our waitress was super nice and attentive but then again we were one of her only customers. read more

Came here on a thursday evening and I was surprised it wasn't as crowded as i thought it would be. Once inside Trump Soho, take the elevator up to the 7th floor, and wa-la, poolside rooftop bar! There was a private party which had about 10-15 people, but if they weren't there, i would say the place was minimally filled, with a few people on the padded poolside lounge chairs and 2-3 groups at the tables. the setting was very sheik, modern, and trendy, as with most trump associated venues. i loved the backlit pool + waterfall cascading along the edge. it's only 4ft deep, and very narrow, so i am assuming it's for show purposes only. it was one of those cool summer nights with minimal humidity and a nice breeze. i think it's a great setting and atmosphere if just for the ambiance only. so the service! well that leaves VERY little to be desired. having opened summer of 2010, you would think they had a better grasp on volume and work flow. as i said, it wasn't close to being crowded, yet our group of 6 people we joined was saying it took them close to 40 minutes to get their drinks from the waitress. when she finally did show, she said their first drinks would be complementary due to the wait, so at least she was aware. hearing this, my girlfriend and i decided to head to the bar for drinks instead. drinks are about what you would expect, $14-18/ drink. even at the bar the bartenders were so bogged down by the private party (party of 10-15 remember) that it took us about 15 minutes to order, and we were the only two at the bar! the night continued with various attempts to order drinks, and maybe 30 minutes going by, along with some reminders, and the check took equally long. as far as drinks, i got a lychee martini which was pretty tasty. we also tried this spicy margarita specialty drink they like to market- NOT good. i mean, a perfectly good margarita with jalapeño peppers?? why would anyone think that was a good idea. good thing it was complementary because no one drank it! so basically, a great place to come for the ambiance if you want a low key, trendy rooftop bar. getting in is pretty easy, but be prepared for slooow service! read more

Only ate here because we were laying by the pool. As expected at a hotel, food is okay and prices are outrageous. Avocado toast has a good spicy sauce on it but the avocado mash is too mashed up (almost liquid) Guacamole is average We didn't order the grilled cheese but it looked really good read more

Ok, so let's start by the obvious.... It's inside a Trump Hotel.....Let's just say I was less than thrilled when I arrived to the destination, but my friends were already on the 7th floor waiting for me, so I went up. And the views won me over. The music was great, the drinks delicious and their F&B manager, Massiel, came to speak with us; and she was a delight! The staff was genuinely nice, even though the service could have been a bit more prompt. Prices were....high. But it was to be expected. All in all a very nice evening! read more

Absolutely horrendous service. Waiter forgot our order twice if you can believe it. He almost spilled the drink order on my wife's dress. Took thirty minutes to get a round before my friends decided to walk out. Terrible service. read more

My friends and I wanted to sit on a rooftop during a beautiful summer evening for happy hour. That being our goal: the food was good, it was very clean, there was a very small pool for anyone who wanted to dip in, and we were outside. Overall, not a good rooftop at all. The view was nice but not spectacular. The crowd was lackluster. The general vibe was kind of sterile and just not that fun. I wouldn't go back. read more

beautiful and quiet rooftop. not much of a view, but comfortable seating, very well designed pool area and over decor. I have been here only once, so I am not sure this applies to every night, but music was barely audible and there were at most 10 other people. read more

Lousy service. Took forever to get drinks that were overpriced and in plastic glasses.
