Nestled atop AC Hotel New York Times Square, this cozy rooftop bar recaptures the spirit of the classic cocktail lounge, with extra emphasis on martinis. Iconic views enhance the venue's contemporary décor in a sophisticated but comfortable (read: not stuffy) atmosphere. Enjoy the intimacy of a fireplace lounge showcasing abstract art. Gather ‘round the luxe granite bar. Or go out for drinks – literally – on the lush, open-air terrace.

    Perfect cozy place to have after the theatre drinks and snacks on the way to Penn Station. It was our daughter’s birthday and they were so sweet and nice to us, food and drinks were great . Delicious and unexpectedly large portions for small plates.

    Had a reservation and was seated in the back corner. Made several attempts to flag a server, who never came. Could rate zero stars for zero service if it was possible.

    We were there early so pretty quiet. Went back later for a nightcap but was told they didn’t have Sambuca or Baileys Irish crème. That was a little disappointing

    Great spot. It’s a great lounge if you are looking for something elegant and cool. Drinks were solid, and food was unsurprisingly small, but the sliders were well made. A definite recommend for a business meeting, or a quick drink and admire a bit of the view indoors.
