celebrating our anniversary here. the ambiance was amazing. Our server Joshua was amazing. Will definitely be back!

This is one of the worst hospitality treatments I have ever experienced. Up until receiving the bill, (I was overcharged 400$), the view was great and drinks were great. I came in to celebrate the 2020 New Years with 4 of my family members from out of town. I purchased the table package for up to 5 guests. Initially, when I made the reservation, the computer system was not working. I went to check my bank account statement and noticed the $1,298 ( including 18% gratuity and taxes and fees), was deducted 15 times! It was immediately refunded (after calling), so I decided to let it go, excusing this mishap. When I spoke to an employee on the phone, I was told this package includes the table, two bottles, 3 hour open bar, and small bites. All this information price breakdown was also on the website for the event as well, but I always want to be extra sure, so I confirmed this with the girl on the phone many many times. When I arrived at the event, my family and I grabbed a few drinks at the OPEN BAR and proceeded to find our table. The waiter then tells me, next time you order a drink from the open bar menu, go ahead and order from me, and i'll be happy to grab this for you. I thought this was very kind of him, but of course I asked, this is from open bar correct? He told me, "yes, no problem!" The night goes on and we we receive the bill. I noticed I was charged for every additional drink we ordered from the "OPEN BAR." I asked to speak with the manager who was so unkind and disrespectful to my cousin and I. I almost started crying. I told him I had asked the waiter in the beginning about this "open bar," and he called me a liar. He told me everything was in "the contract;" you don't sign a contract to sit at a dinner table (also he showed me no evidence of this). I told him I was obviously paying it, but it's the point that NUMEROUS members of the staff confirmed this with me in advance, and now no one is offering any kind of explanation as to why I am being charged for the open bar, while people who paid general admission aren't getting charged anything extra at all. I at least expected him to be understanding or apologize at least once, he did NONE of this. He didn't even thank me for our business. Since there were only about 5 tables, I was expected to be treated with the UPMOST RESPECT. I live in the neighborhood and will be telling everyone about my terrible saddening experience here. The pretentiousness of this manager was APALLING. There is no reason to treat anyone like this, especially when in the hospitality business. read more

Great drinks, very cool music, nice crowd, best views on earth!! There is a $20 cover, but it's worth it for a few great pictures of the bridge and city. read more

Surprised that they kicked us out from the rooftop on Saturday at 9 PM... I would have loved to stay a bit longer, but perhaps it is because it is getting colder outside? I want to believe they keep it opened longer during warmer nights. After they told us they rooftop is closed, we went downstairs to the bar which still has a really nice view and great atmosphere. However, I was really disappointed that they did not offer any beers on draft in the bar! I am a bar fan and especially since they had several options up on the rooftop, I expected they will have some downstairs in the bar as well, otherwise, I would just go elsewhere right away. My group wanted to stay at least for one more drink, so we did. The service on the rooftop and at the bar was ok. Nothing to complain about, but can't say they were exactly welcoming and friendly, especially upstairs where there were hardly fifteen customers. In any case, this is a great spot to stop by for anyone living in the city but especially visiting. You get an amazing view of Brooklyn Bridge and Lower Manhattan. However, I would not say this is one of those places I would like to visit over and over again. New York has so much more to offer! read more

Cool space but there's a bartender who talks down on you when they forget to put simple syrup in a drink that the menu states contains simple syrup. The drink tasted very bitter as a result compared to my friend who ordered the same drink Bartender name I believe was Javier. Guy with a beard who worked the night on may 28th read more

Beautiful rooftop with amazing views. Drinks were ok and priced above average for this type of place. The non-glass drinkware was definately a turn off, specially for this kind of place. read more

ugh what a scene. As a Brooklyn native, honestly, it's spots like this that give Brooklyn a bad name...or maybe it's just the people it attracts. The views from here are nice but there are certainly better ones that you don't have to wait in a line (yes, wait in a line to get into a hotel bar in the middle of the day) and then stand next to a plastic surgeon's latest creation elbowing you so she can selfie her heart out to see either...harsh, I know, but these are the facts. It was a really shallow environment and the staff was confused and disinterested, but I have to say, the drinks were pretty good...but so not worth the rest of the experience. Even the bouncer thought he was some kind of celebrity just for being allowed to work there...gross. read more

The ambiance and skyline was amazing! However, I waited forever to even be noticed to get a drink and when my friends arrived they got passed over many times so we left to find somewhere we could actually get a drink. I was overcharged by $15 when I looked at my receipt so double check that too! I had waited years to try this spot and was sadly disappointed after walking the Brooklyn bridge to get there! I'd stay on the Manhattan side next time. read more

I simply had one of the worst hospitality and service related incidents at the 1 Hotel that I can remember. I visited Harriet's (The Rooftop Bar), went to the bar, ordered a drink and started a tab. Shortly after, my friend made it to the bar as well and put a drink on my tab as well. We enjoyed them well enough and after some time went to close out my tab. Here is where the problem started - There was no tab open any longer.... After searching for my card, we find out the bartender had somehow let some other (still unknown) person close out my tab, without confirming they were Alan (me), and even gave them my credit card. Already bad enough, it seemed the unknown card snatcher put additional drinks on the tab and put a $30 tip on the tab before closing and taking the card. I immediately called my credit card and canceled it and luckily no other charges made it on. The bartender apologized, promised me he'd void the check and even gave us a free drink to boot, but I had a feeling they check wouldn't actually be voided. I asked if he could produce the receipt and he told me "its already been voided, you don't have to worry about it". I insisted and he produced the paper receipt with the fraudulent signature. I snapped a picture and figured all ended up turning out okay with a decent story to leave with... until I checked my Chase account a week later and the full amount posted to my credit card - fraudulent drinks + tip and all. I called in immediately, gave hotel employee the backstory + details and she told me that only a manager could help me and they were "on the floor". She said to try back later.... I tried back later and same thing (she told me that only managers can decide when to take calls. To her effort she told me she'd leave a message and a manager would call me back. A day passes and nothing... I call back and its the same employee and this time they were able to track down a manager and she conveys that the manager promises me they'll call me back before end the day.... and nothing. Over a 10 day period this phone tag between me calling Hotel bar and the management team not calling me back, until eventually having to call and get my bank involved. To this day, ~a month later, not a single representative of the 1 Hotel has gotten back to me and I've now had to get my bank involved. I work in the travel industry and been to similar spots all around the world have never experience the lack of concern, urgency or care that the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge showed. I'll never be back and would suggest you skip to the many other great hotels + rooftop bars in Brooklyn. read more

5 star view - genuinely my favorite rooftop in New York City aesthetically. I'm a huge fan of the Brooklyn Bridge/DUMBO area, the views of manhattan are spectacular. Everything about the hotel is stunning and impeccably designed to achieve "sustainable luxury" which has been done brilliantly. I can't stress the BEAUTY enough. I'm a snob when it comes to service. The wet blanket on this gorgeous place is the staff. Amazingly rude. Upon entering I approached the hostess a question and without looking up from her phone she said "I don't know" - yikes. Approaching the servers on the roof is like pulling teeth, the attitude is as if they're being bothered even if they don't appear to be super busy. It's one of those places that's so popular that courtesy and basic manners becomes lost. Not only that, but they Include gratuity while still handing you a regular receipt with a tip line. I didn't realize until later that evening that I had left a huge tip on a bar that already gave ITSELF a huge tip. Feels very underhanded since there is zero indication that gratuity is included. The bartenders are quick and the signature cocktails aren't too pricey, but the food takes forever and is bland. Just don't come here with any questions or expect great service, but perhaps bring friends to check out the view and maybe have a drink. read more

one rooftop was cool, we had ioana waitress for us and she was absolutely amazing, service was special, she was so kind and genuine.

2 is being generous! SMH I'm not a fan of pretentious behavior and should have walked out once entering... To enter the actual rooftop costs $20 ( The Osprey) or you can opt for the floor below with floor to ceiling wrap around windows for free (Harriet's). If you want to sit at a table there's a $50 limit...which, given the prices, is not difficult to achieve... I had a glass of mediocre red wine ( not a generous serving) for $18! Oh wait!!! That's before tax and the included gratuity of $3.80!!! Seriously?! Then they have the nerve to give me a receipt requesting MORE gratuity! Lol I won't be revisiting read more

Lounge with the best view in NYC! Our private activity was a total success thanks to Denny Dal and manager Alouzen! They gave the extra mile with an impressive service. Thanks again! read more

The view was amazing had a little bit of a hard time getting to the bar even though we had a reservation I think you need a key in order to get to the floor the bar is on , but a hotel guest used their key card for us .The appetizers and drinks were really good. The Atmosphere and the views 10/10 there is a 50$ limit but I didn't mind the drinks and food were good and I got pretty buzzed I recommend the dumbo sour if you like Tequila read more

** for Harriet's lounge, message to management** We wanted to send feedback after our recent visit. We made reservations almost a month in advance, and we still happened to be seated in the back corner of the bar. While the area in the secluded back corner is nice, we would have liked to be in the main area with the main view. We were in our seats for almost 3 hours and continually asked for availability in the main area after seeing open tables. We happen to be Asian and the hostess also happened to place only Asians and other POC's at the back corner. We've been here 3 other times with Caucasian couples and they placed us in the main area. This really leads us to believe that we were profiled upon entrance because we are Asian and happened to be with my mother and sister in law who are also Asian. Our server was phenomenal (Shay) and she tried to put us in the main area. That said, the hostess never listened to her and we ended up never moving despite all the open table. Again, while we love coming back here, this specific visit did not sit well with us and would not recommend this for our POC friends and family. We need management to address this issue and wouldn't want this to happen again. read more

Awesome rooftop with the best view of the Brooklyn Bridge and NYC! There was a line outside on the main floor to enter the rooftop, but it was worth the wait. The drinks are on the more expensive side, but what can you expect for a rooftop bar in NY. My friends and I weren't ready to start day drinking, so we opted for the french fries. The fries were well priced for such a large portion! They were freshly fried shoestring fries so they were hot and crispy! Came with a ranch like sauce and ketchup. They were a nice yummy snack to go with the gorgeous views. Bathrooms clean and co-ed. read more

As much as this is my favourite rooftop in NYC and i've been coming dozen times there are, in my opinion, few down falls: The bartender and few people of the staff have been quite rude to me and the cocktails are pretty basic,nothing special nor good. That said, the view is the best you could get with Brooklyn Bridge on a side and Lower Manhattan Skilyne on the other, you can also spot the Statue of Liberty!!! There is a VIP area with an incredible and amazing pool that i haven't had the pleasure to try yet, but i will eventually! read more

TOURIST TRAP! Read the fine print - or save yourself the hassle and don't go at all. I don't write online reviews often but once in a while an experience is bad enough that I feel compelled to warn others. As the pandemic is improving in Brooklyn my wife and I thought we would enjoy a rooftop cocktail. Simple enough. I was a bit surprised and turned off when I initially made the reservation because they required my credit card to just make the reservation and there was further a warning that if I failed to be there for the reservation they would charge $45 to my credit card. It sounded sort of Draconian but as we had no intention of bailing on the reservation I accepted those terms. In retrospect I should have taken this as a warning of the culture of the place. They seem to be more about dollar signs than people. As reservation time got closer I received a lengthy (16 line) text, which I gave a reasonable glance to, which confirmed the time but further gave complicated details about other days of the week and various "minimum spends". I saw the text reserved for two at 6pm and minimum spend is $100. This fit my basic assumption that we would each willingly have a couple of (overpriced) drinks and (overpriced) sushi so we could enjoy the rooftop for an hour or so. This is the reasonable price premium I have come to expect. When we arrived the host asked us if we were aware of a minimum. Again this focus on money was kind of a turn off from the start but I recalled the $100 minimum and we wanted to have our rooftop experience. I won't go into detail on the poor cocktails and service (though sushi rolls are strongly average). The view of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline is outstanding but of course this has nothing to do with management. In any case, when we were finished and I was sure we had purchased over the $100 minimum (I was conscious of this throughout due to their constant reminders of a minimum) I was told "the minimum is $100 PER PERSON, not my understanding that is was $100 for the two of us. What?! This was a total surprise to us and we never would have gone had we known this. I spoke to the senior staff person available and his first response was that I'd better check my cell phone because in there I had agreed to spend over $200 that night. What? Check the text? So, yes, there in the fine print, in the 16 line muddle I had glanced at it did actually say per person. But what reasonable person is going to read through all the red tape? Are we reserving a spot for a cocktail or are we buying a house? After a discussion the staff did give us the courtesy of charging us the menu price of the items we purchased. I much appreciate that gesture as the expectation that we read all the fine print is unfair and needs to be remedied. I'm particularly concerned for other guests who may feel bullied into spending more money if they are put in a similar position. This place needs to choose if it wants to be classy or if it wants to be a tourist trap. It can't be both. Oh, I did manage to catch some additional fine print- On the menu it said a 20% gratuity is automatically included on the price. But when the bill came back to me at $140 (gratuity included) it nevertheless also included a line for gratuity. I've seen this more often than their $45 fee for missing a reservation or the small print expectation of a $200 layout. But still, if you drink $200 in cocktails you may miss this too and end up paying 20% tip on top of the 20% automatically charged. It just added to the shadiness vibe. I wonder what other fine print I may have missed? And this is just the bar. I wonder what fine print the guests at the hotel are signing on to. I felt management saw us as dollars, not as people, and that never feels good. The view is nice, but not not that nice. read more

Disappointment First , if you're driving try to park somewhere else bc the valet is $22 for up to 3hrs and $31 for more. Second, after you find a way to get to the rooftop, walking around and paying $20 entrance fee you're being checked three times for having a stamp. Third, find a table without being seated and just so you know the wooden seating area is self service. The drink menu doesn't have many choices and if you don't like their cocktails there's no option for alternatives. Finally yes, the view is spectacular, but not different than any view from three to two e area or Brooklyn bridge. read more

Harriet's Rooftop - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Really hot summer day. One of those where you feel like the soles of your shoes are melting on the pavement. Julie and I went for a walk in DuMBo and found a cool restaurant with breezy outdoor sitting. After a while, even the shaded restaurant started to feel a bit too hot. So we thought what every New Yorker thinks at some point or another on a hot summer day, "let's find a place with AC and decent drinks". We looked around and saw a bunch of people in a cool rooftop terrace. It was the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, so we walked over. The hotel is gorgeous. The lobby looks like a greenhouse, with beautiful plants everywhere and a wonderful temperature. We walked over to the hostess for the rooftop and she said: "there are two bars up there, the top one is outdoors, with a pool and there's a $20 fee. The lower one has no fee." So we checked out the lower one. It was awesome. The drinks were great but the ambiance and the view were the best (check out the pics). Oh, and the service was great too. The bartenders are young and fun to talk to. Overall a great spot to check out DuMBo from above and chill on a hot summer day. read more

We had an amazing time at Harriet's Lounge. The music was a great vibe and our bartender Juan Morales went above and beyond to make sure my date and I had an amazing experience. Make sure you ask Juan for his signature espresso martini. You will not be disappointed! He offered us two options, one with mezcal and one with tequila reposado. Try both! 10/10 recommend read more

Really disappointing considering the quality of The Osprey and Neighbors Cafe which are all part of the 1 Hotel complex. My parents were in town and we went to have a drink in the lounge (not rooftop where the bouncers are friendly). We were a party of 6 and ordered a round of drinks. In the first round, they got three of the six drinks wrong. The worst of the drinks was a sparkling white at $25 dollars which was completely flat! I know bartenders can sometime be under pressure to get drinks out fast but this is a horrible oversight considering the drink price. We mentioned it to the waitress and she said it should be fine. When we insisted that it was wrong, she went back to the bar and brought out an unopened bottle, which of course had bubbles. Second round came and they got two out of five drinks wrong which got my dad pretty annoyed. He is a very reasonable man but will speak his mind if he is not satisfied. So he went to the bar, spoke to a waitress who said they would get the manager to speak to him. 15 minutes passed and I could see his frustrations growing as no one paid any attention to him. He was basically looking at all staff as they walked passed and they all ignored him. Eventually, he flagged down someone who happened to be the manager and instead of allowing my dad to express his concerns, he over talked him. This meant that by halfway the end of the conversation, he was only able to point out the drink errors for the last round. I feel that this place gets away with service like this because of the view but still this will only go so far. There needs to be something fixed here because I would prefer many other places in the area like Pilot or Fornino at Pier 6 which have a similar view, better prices, are not pretentious and have way better service. 1 Star for the view... read more

I recently had a reservation on the rooftop, but when we got to Harriet's the hostess told us that the roof was still wet from earlier rain but we were welcome to go to the bar instead. We weren't told beforehand that our reservation was going to be cancelled and the reservation didn't transfer to the bar. We were able to find seats by the window but ordering drinks took forever because of how many people had been moved from the roof. We also had to order food at a later time because the bartender was too backed up to take a long order, only to learn the kitchen was about to close and our options were then limited. Really unfortunate way to celebrate my partner's birthday with me waiting at the bar to order for more than half of our time there, and no consideration that we had a reservation. Much better off going to Cecconi's for the same view and incredible service read more

Used to be that you could patronize the rooftop bar without a cover charge before late afternoon. Not anymore. There is a steep $20 cover per person all the time. With so many amazing roooftop bar venues in Williamsburg and the city, as well as at the timeout market or at Il Forno in Brooklyn park nearby, this is a hard pass for me. Hell, I'll take my free rooftop in Brooklyn heights with a can a beer over this crazy pretentious nonsense. read more

You can't beat the view at the roof top bar. The rest? Meh... Paid $28 to a glass of OK wine. Way overpriced. Dirty restrooms.

It's worth stopping by for the view but like others have said the drinks are not their specialty. It's kind of surprising because the Osprey is so good I would think they would have had better drinks but either way it's worth checking out one time. read more

Was already staying at the hotel, so Harriet brunch seems like a no-brainer - glad we made the selection. Our waiter, Karlie, gave her recommendations on lunch and other things to do throughout the city and were very happy with her choices.

I do recommend that you expand your menu. there's not a lot of choices for people that are more on the simple side. The tater tots were good, but it might be nice to offer a hummus plate with vegetables, maybe some olive tapenade with bread or things like that they just wasn't a lot of food that I liked on the menu. Other than that I would come back 1 million times over it was amazing. The view was probably the best I've seen it, especially at sunset. Our waiter was wonderful. The drinks were great. Just recommend you update the menu. read more

Harriet's Rooftop - Lounges Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We went to their winter rooftop lounge on Saturday night and left underwhelmed. It felt like a wasted opportunity; and it was not worth what we paid. It appears to be designed for the instagram crowd (who else would knowingly pay $250 for four sugary cocktails in ice glasses and an amuse-bouche of low end caviar) and that's not really us. We would have gladly paid more for better drink options, a seared tuna station or raw bar would have been a good addition, additional champagne options, wine, perhaps a signature hot toddy? Alas none of that was available. We'd never been before and thought we were getting thoughtful cocktails, some small plate options (think Olmstead, with a view) in an intimate and beautiful outdoor setting with a great deejay. But we were wrong. We won't make that mistake again. read more

Made a reservation a month in advance and confirmed via text and phone. When we arrived we were asked to wait in Bar area and somebody would seat us. Ten minutes later we were told "the truth is we are full and are working to seat you as soon as possible." Half hour passes. I go to check... hostesses are all chatting and ask my name again. I hear them talking about a "mix up" and somebody was placed at our table. Ten minutes later they tell us it will be longer- that they will comp us a drink. We were finally seated one hour after our reservation which was made for sunset. We are also guests of the hotel. Seating is old and worn. View was beautiful. Waiter brought us Chardonnay instead of the Sauvignon blanc we requested- and since I had already complained I let it be and noted: Do NOT eat here again and write a review. It was so incredibly disappointing. Incompetent procedures, lack of timeliness, lack of respect and unprofessional with a HEFTY price tag. No thank you. read more
