It has been a few years since I have been here and was pleased to see it still the place I use to enjoy. Thanks to the staff for showing my wife and I a great night. read more

A nice spot if you're looking for a drink at a rooftop bar. Seating is a little cramped, but the service is very good and the menu is plentiful. Remember to bring your sunglass as there's not a lot of shady spots. read more

Great little rooftop bar, perfect for an after-work cocktail. The view isn't super amazing, but it's still a rooftop and the building itself is nice - older and sort of classic. Drinks were not bad price-wise, the crowd is a little irritating, but again, nothing too terrible. I'll probably go again. read more

Nice place... Average drinks, a bit pricey. Good view on the rooftop. Friendly but scattered service. Didnt get to eat there so this review is just for the drinks. Had one glass that was cracked and they gladly replaced it. I'd go back if friends were there but would not suggest it to others. I'd rather go to the Campbell apartment around the corner. read more

I wanted to give bookmarks a 5 star review for their customer service and support! My company recently hosted a Farewell there for one of our dear employees and Julia really helped in making adjustments to meet our needs! The space is LOVELY even if the weather isn't there is a cover and Daniela and Ovide were exceptional in helping us and making sure everyone was taken care- everyone loved it! Would definitely recommend for friends gatherings or corporate events too! Thanks again to the team at Bookmarks for putting your guests firsts and being so accommodating! read more

Perfect for drinks with colleagues or clients. Quiet rooftop with ample indoor and outdoor options. Prices on par with the swankier set $13 and up. Service was slow the night I visited but what they lacked in speed came through in genuine courtesy. read more

I'm generally wary of rooftop bars in Midtown, nevermind on a Friday evening. You know the drill: awkwardly share the cramped elevator ride up with fratty suits talking Hamptons, exit into the hands of an anxiety-ridden hostess struggling to control the stream of patrons bottlenecked around the elevator landing, and walk onto the roof only to find its every square inch occupied by people standing or sitting, blocking the bar and the otherwise lovely view of skyscrapers twinkling in the dusk for which you came in the first place. Not so at Bookmarks! As one can reasonably expect, it is a bit crowded on a Friday, but the indoor space is just as appealing as the outdoor one. If you venture outside you are seated in civil fashion (after a surprisingly short wait), politely served and spared the roving mob gripping plastic cups. The view may be more spectacular in other locales, but after two perfectly mixed, spicy Bloody Mary's, I decided that could be sacrificed in favor of calm and seclusion. read more

Typical tiny New York rooftop with overpriced mediocre drinks but the view is lovely. The drinks are might expensive, like $20 each but a bottle of wine for 2 is like $60 so that is a good deal! read more

It's The Service Industry!!!! Okay, first the good stuff. Appetizers were very nice. Focaccia pizza with prosciutto was very tasty and popcorn was really good as well. Both overpriced, though. Drinks were good as well. BUT, no clue as pertains to service. A very unhappy looking waitress came over to the table, did not introduce herself, did not smile, did not say hello, just stood there!!! Really, that's acceptable now! And don';t give me the, "This is NY, nonsense. I'm a NY'er and this doesn't fly anywhere. The waitress perfunctorily took our order and through the entire experience, actually NEVER spoke to us, didn't check on us, didn't ask us how our food was and every time we needed her, which was only a time or two, we had to flag her down. Couldn't find her to pay the check, so had to go to bar to pay it! Ridiculous! Then I noticed, the other cocktail waitresses looked miserable too. A shame because it's a cute, cozy bar with some interesting drinks and food. Suggestion: Find better staff! read more

Went there on a Tuesday after work. It was pretty crowded for a Tuesday!! Nice little rooftop. Good for small groups. Drinks were good. Now the bad part!! The service was HORRIBLE. Waitress was quick enough to take our order of food and drinks but it took a while to bring it. I ordered a quesadilla and it was cold. She didn't even give even us paper napkins!! The place emptied out pretty quickly by 8 p.m and we decided to leave. Ordered the check and it took forever. Even when the waitress came back with a check, she handed the check to my face while she was talking to the people at the next table! I bookmarked to NOT go there again. read more

Fun night out at the rooftop with drinks! It's cute spot and it's pleasant to hang out with friends while having a drink!

Went here last night for a drink. Very low-key, casually elegant. My glass of wine was delicious and the staff was extremely friendly. Definitely will come back in the summertime to fully appreciate the experience! read more

Interesting little rooftop lounge. Very unique garden style outdoor patio for cocktails. Didn't try any food but my wife said the mojitos were great. Brie plate next to us looked tasty too. read more

Located in The Library hotel. I had been to the Wine & Madison restaurant before, and didn't realize they were all associated with each other. Take the elevator up and you're in a cozy, upscale rooftop lounge. They had areas where it was all windows which were nice to sit, enjoy a drink, and converse. The wine selection was relatively cheap but good ($12 for the Merlot we chose), and they give a large amount. We also tried two of their signature cocktails which were good - Tequila Mockingbird (tequila, agave nectar, lime juice, & minced ginger); the other had elderflower which was really good. Definitely on my list of places to go and recommend. read more

Enough room for a small get together. Seating it good. The outside seating is pretty large but can fill up quick. Drinks are okay. No spicy jalapeño margaritas as far as I could see. Reminded me of the Vu just better decor and more expensive. View is okay but nothing spectacular. Good for a after work get together with a few friends. Not that much shade, so you may find yourself hugging a tree. Attire ranged a bit, but mostly summer dresses and smart casual. Would be back with a group of 5 or 6. Good spot for a group if you get there early enough. read more

Bookmark this is the worst rooftop bar ever. During our time here, we ordered three rounds of drinks between five friends. A glass of water NEVER showed up, they slammed our drinks down, consistently forgot to even bring our drinks each time. We tipped generously and the waitress confronted us about this. I've NEVER seen that happen EVER in NYC. On top of that they allowed a group of people to smoke an entire pack of cigarettes and everyone was visibly upset. This place is a dump with terrible service. Save your time/money and go elsewhere. By 8pm on a Friday night the place was cleared out. That should tell you enough; others are fed up with it. read more

Nice outdoor area with good quick service. We had the roast beef sliders and these were quite tasty. More on the intimate side for catching up with a friend and enjoying a garden view. read more

A cosy, ambient little lounge in the city. Though I wouldn't call it rooftop it certainly had nice balconies to hang out on and the inside area was charming enough anyway. Many of the special cocktails were literary based and though I can't remember what I had it was nice... read more

Locale, setting, drinks - all wonderful and what you would expect from a rooftop bar. If it were not for this last thing, I would give this place a 5. The service is pretty much nonexistent. After feeling ignored, when someone does pay attention to you, it takes forever for your drink to come out. read more

This is a fun rooftop to grab a drink in warmer weather. The cocktails are good and the times I've been here haven't been too crowded. Feels more downtown than its location. read more

Bookmarks is the cutesy rooftop bar of the The Library Hotel. The drinks are really expensive, most of the drinks are more than 15$, most rooftop bars do charge a premium. The cocktails are good.It's a nice place to hang out with friends or even a date. The music is regular pop, they don't pay attention to their music. They have indoor seating as well as outdoor. I prefer the outdoor seating. Not much of a view expect the midtown office buildings and partial view of the Empire State Building. The music is not too loud and you don't have to scream to be heard. read more

I've been there twice now during the winter, one with a date and the other a company party. Great place to bring a date, even first time date. Very relax atmosphere, comfy chairs and couches, a fire place. I'm sure it's very cool during the summer as well. Drinks on the pricey side., but it's a self coat check so you save a little there!! read more

When you need to pass the candle from the table around to see the menu, you've gone beyond mood lighting and I'd recommend scattering a few more illumination sources around the patio. However, Bookmarks is great place for a fancy drink and place to talk. Next time if I'm here in winter, I will request the couch next to the cozy fire which looks like a great place to snuggle up with a book, along with a nice glass of something that warms your insides, and get some reading done. read more

Cute, intimate place that takes you away from the hustle and bustle. A nice date spot!

What a find - small roof top bar that you can have full dinner. Service was very good as were the drinks and atmosphere. Fun crowd sitting outside without the street noise. Will definitely go again. read more

Absolutely love this place! So much I fact; I'm reluctant to share this gem with you for fear of over crowding. It's so cozy and perfect for conversations and ambience. Take a date or a client. Perfection. read more

Wow the wine and the lychee champagne... Nice cozy rooftop but the view is ehhhh not THAT amazing.

Very small cute rooftop bar. Omg the bookmark punch was soooooo good! And huge!!! The atmosphere was very comfy and cozy. This would be a great place to take a date or if your are feeling extremely bougie... this is the place to be. Had a few apps off the menu. Truffle popcorn awesome! Flat bread awesome! Cheese platter awesome!!! Although it's a little tight I'd definitely come back when I visit again. read more

Not a big drinker, but I love their champagne cocktails (particularly the ginger one). It comes with a candied ginger garnish (and how can you not like that?) and tastes amazing. I feel so indulgent sitting on their beautifully green rooftop deck, sipping that intoxicating drink. read more

A small, cute, intimiate rooftop bar. It has a bit of a romantic feel to it so definitely a place to bring a date for a quick drink first then head off to dinner. The service was not good, though and it wasn't even busy. Still worthwhile to check out. read more

We went there to have drinks by the fire. Cute enough but not great city views. Fire wasn't too warming and they couldn't turn it up. Wine selection was okay but servers didn't know much description. The pumpkin spice latte cocktail was good but too milky. read more

This secret little rooftop location is intimate enough for two but spacious enough for a larger group as well. Their book themed cocktails and drinks fill my love of puns, plus I've never had a margarita as well as the Tequila Mockingbird! read more

I love this little hidden gem of a bar. It's on the 14th floor, tucked away from the mad rush of Madison Ave. But once you arrive, it's usually always much quieter with a charming decor. The bar staff is all dressed elegantly and are extremely amicable people. My absolute favorite spot to sit with a friend or two is on the balcony/greenhouse - which in the winter is well-heated and has a partial view of midtown from the windows. The place is full of cozy seating and is the IDEAL place to have some intimate conversation. The wine selection is great, and a really great and sophisticated date spot when you're looking to get away from the crowd, talk, and share some wine. read more

I've been here a couple of times with colleagues. It's a great place for a drink near Grand Central, never too crowded. A tad expensive for my tastes, but the glass ceiling makes it worth it! read more

Right in the middle of midtown, Bookmarks is an easy spot to go for an after work drink or 2. The place does get crowded easily since the bar really isn't very big--especially the outdoor space. For this reason, I really wouldn't recommend coming with a big group unless you get a certain area blocked off in advance. The main attraction here is the rooftop bar. The only problem is that there's really not a very good view of anything. Buildings are still towering over you. On the other hand I did like the drinks . I had the Bookmarks signature drink. I also realized this place has the same owners as Campbell Apartment. Both are good places (corporate scenes). I'll be coming back. read more

The drinks are cleverly named after writers and they're delicious. Very cozy place.

Service stinks! My friend and I came on a Tuesday night, and maybe it had to do with a private party being held on one side of the roof, but either way, I wouldn't come back. The clueless waitresses cram people into the small area almost to the point of sitting on some strangers lap. We attempted to order a pizza but were told by one waitress that the kitchen might not be open yet (...it was after 6:30pm...). A second waitress told us that she wasn't aware of that but would check. The first waitress came back and said we could only choose from two menu options - cheese platter and popcorn; but then proceeds to hand out at least 5 pizzas to various patrons only 10 minutes later. Not sure what happened with that, but clearly the waitstaff seems to be a bit confused. The only plus side was that the pricey drinks were actually pretty good. read more

Actually, this place is pretty decent for an after work date. A little on the expensive side, and you have to know where to sit (don't let them sit you!) Definitely a hidden gem, much better than the Gansevoort. read more

Cozy spot with great selection of wines to come to affer work with friend for drinks. Highly recommend

Staff was a bit snobby but the bar and ambiance is lovely. I only had whiskey near so can't comment on the cocktails. Great whiskey selection. Recommend this place for a first date since it's quiet and on the sultry side. Outdoor area is a favorite read more
