    I grabbed a drink here before we went to the little island, it's a tequila bar so i was limited. It felt slow and Ben thought I was with one couple...

    Walk all the way to the back on the first floor of pier 57 and you get the best views. Take a rest and grab a drink! Cocktails were great, service was lacking. They do take their sweet time here.

    A hidden gem! When you're walking to this bar, you'll be tempted to pop into the other bars you pass on the pier. Stay strong! You'll be rewarded with an adorable, tiny bar away from the crowds with an excellent view. I sat here with some girlfriends on the weekend and had an excellent time. We loved the sangria! The perfect light drink.

    This bar is SO stunning! I'm at Pier 57 pretty regularly so I've been watching it slowly get built out over the past months and could not WAIT for it to open. It has the most amazing view of Little Island and downtown Manhattan. It's all the way at the very end of Pier 57 so it's sort of tucked away from the hustle & bustle of the food court. It is truly a little oasis. You immediately feel at peace there. They have over 400 varieties of tequila and mezcal. The drinks we ordered were beautiful and delicious. We got the Spicy Mezcal Paloma and the Mexican Candy Margarite. The manager Kimber was so warm and welcoming, and shared how the hope is for El Bar to be a place of respite and refuge for people, which I really feel when I'm there. In times like these, we so need spaces like these and I highly recommend you checking it out!

    Their drinks are amazing and you cannot beat that view. I absolutely have to stop here every time I am in New York.

    Mexican Candy cocktail + a not-to-be missed panoramic view. This place is sexy. Vale la pena!

    During our adventures in the Meatpacking district my friend insisted we pay a visit to The Top of…read moreThe Standard for the amazing view. We got there shortly after they opened (4 pm), so it wasn't busy. On your way to the rooftop you'll pass through a nightclub, which reminded me of a discotheque reminiscent of Studio 54. According to my friend, it doesn't get hopping until later and good times are had. There is a jacuzzi inside, so I can only imagine the wild antics that occur. I would have absolutely been a regular here back in the day. The Rooftop is spacious with plenty of places to chill & relax. I ordered a Cucumber Limonade $16 (Vodka, Cucumber, Lime, & Elderflower). It was crisp & refreshing. Perfect for this beautiful sunny day. My friend was right. The view was stunning - with sweeping views of the city and the harbor. It was so nice to be so high up above the bustling city without a care in the world.

One person in our group may have seemed a little off, and because of that, the staff refused to serve any of us alcohol. We get that they have policies to follow, but it felt a bit unfair to penalize the entire group--especially since the rest of us weren't drinking or acting out of line. To make things more confusing, they came back later and said we could order alcohol after all, but by that point, the mood was already off and we decided to leave. The place didn't seem bad overall, but that experience definitely left a sour taste. Maybe we just caught them on a weird night. Wouldn't recommend especially being in the wine country.

    the aesthetic of a bar that's impossible to get into.. but actually attainable…read more - I love the orange dim lighting, circular bar in the back, and large booths. it is definitely a very loud establishment so if hoping to discuss anything serious, maybe not the spot - the drinks are all presented so well. a $18-20 cocktail seems inescapable these days so at least here they add a display that makes it worth it. the dirty martini comes in a mini pitcher over ice so you pour your own constantly crisp drink - the espresso martini has a full on smore on top. I saw them toasting each marshmallow with a blow torch, can only really respect the dedication. the drink was pretty solid, more chocolatey coconuty than deep espresso. - the cornstar martini is basically a pornstar martini and does not lean too hard into the corn for flavor (I think it's a good thing) but comes on a plate of truffle popcorn. very fun! - service was perfectly attentive, no complaints there

    For starters this is very appealing bar, pretty decor and ample seating and what appeared to be a…read moredecent happy hour menu. My friend and I decided to stop in for happy hour as it seemed to be a good option. We were greeted by the bartender who was very kind and took our order right away. We ordered the Cornstar martini , which was extremely tiny. However, the drink was crafted very well and tasted great. In addition we ordered oysters, chicken nuggets, and wagyu sliders, which we were shortly told they were out of oysters. The martini was indeed tiny as 'tiny' was noted on the menu however you are better off ordering a regular sized drink for that price. Our food order took a significant amount of time to come and when it arrived it was all burnt. My friend and I took a few bites and it was not edible at all. Overall this is a great place for drinks but I would opt out of it for happy hour.

We thought mini golf was interactive, everyone had the same chance to play and it's simple enough without exerting too much energy (unlike an escape room or the dancing tiles which I also came across in my research). Great place for friends, families, dates of all ages. We checked in on the ground floor (also have a coat check here) and were told they have a cabin themed course on the 2nd floor and a museum themed course on the 3rd floor, but there was a party going on. They also told us about the rooftop lounge, which is covered with plastic and they have heaters blasting the space. We went with the cabin themed. Although I don't think they completely blocked the 3rd floor with the party, we just didn't want to have to compete with others and wanted a quiet experience. They have stairs or an elevator. Once we got to the 2nd floor, we were the only ones there and were explained how the digital scoring works. We inputted our names, and our scoreboard would follow us from board to board in sequence after we all punched in our scores. The max was 6 putts per course to help keep things moving (we definitely played more than 6 on some courses lol). The courses did progressively get more challenging as you moved on. The decor was beautiful. Fairy lights lined the space with murals or a ski lodge/mountains around with a polar bear and a ski mobile. Many cute photo ops. On the last course, once you made it, the game swallowed your ball, I guess to help prevent you from trying to play the course again. I wish there was more than 9 courses though. It was fun enough but maybe having a few more would have helped fill the time more. Time flew by and we had lots of laughs. Would be excited to come back to try the museum course next time.
