10 Rooftop Venues in Midtown NYC

“Apotheke Nomad is excellent! The drinks are strong and perfectly crafted, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the complimentary shots were a wonderful surprise. The highlight of the evening was definitely the visit to the penthouse—wow! Highly recommend this spot for an unforgettable night out.”

“One of my new favorite spots in Manhattan. If you’re reading this, stop by and you won’t regret it. The food is delicious, atmosphere is comfortable, and above all, the service is tremendous. I’ve come twice (the first time the kitchen closed early) and each time the staff members went above and beyond to make sure I was well treated while in the establishment. I’m originally from the Chicago, so my standards for kind/friendly people is high. Whoever trained this staff and whoever employs them is doing a fantastic job. Amidst busy work days, hot weather, large crowds - I’ve found a gem in Backstage Tavern. I’ll be recommending this place for all corporate events my company hosts and will be bringing family/friends here.”

“Fridays are for Salsa dancing with live music & Latin DJ! Cocktails, food and staff are great! State of the art space! My favorite rooftop in the city! Class begins at 8pm with open bar or you can show up 9pm-2am to dance or make a table reservation for your party.”

“I recently visited The Lookup and was blown away by the stunning view of the Empire State Building. While the entire staff was great, Jennifer, the head mixologist, truly took customer service to another level. Despite it being the end of the night and juggling multiple tasks, Jennifer treated my family like her own, ensuring we had everything we needed. Her lovely demeanor and attentiveness, along with her expertly crafted drinks, made our visit unforgettable. If I ran a hospitality business, I'd want ten Jennifers—she is the epitome of going above and beyond and truly deserves a promotion. We'll definitely be back!”
