230 FIFTH is New York's largest outdoor Rooftop Garden and Fully enclosed Penthouse Lounge. It is a live music venue, restaurant, and bar located in the heart of NYC, named after its location at 230 5th Ave. It is a 30,000 square foot indoor and outdoor bar, lounge, and event space. The space is divided into two floors. The 20th floor, which is completely enclosed with views of the city, consists of a lounge and private rooms. The 21st floor, which is completely open to the air, is where the igloos, heat lamps, and cabins are during the winter months. They do have large umbrellas for those sunny or rainy days and are partially heated on colder nights. The terrace has seating for approximately 1000 people and offers some really magical views of the Manhattan skyline, with the Empire State Building as a mighty focal point. It is both an inside and open-air venue that is complemented by a large indoor lounge fully enclosed and with panoramic windows taking care of the views. It is nicely decorated with a lot of wooden furniture and some palm trees on the terrace. If you’re visiting New York with some friends, the best is to go at night. The background music is a bit loud, but you’ll enjoy the lights of the Empire State Building. If you’re traveling with your children, you may know that it will be impossible to spend the night at the 230 Fifth Rooftop, but you can go with them during the week before 7 pm or for a brunch on Saturday or Sunday. The rooftop bar delivers a wide selection of both food and drinks. There are well-made classic & specialty cocktails along with beer and wine, both on tap/glass and in a bottle. Their cocktails are delicious! The food menu ranges from bar bites to more full dinner meals like burgers, salmon, fish & chips, and a big selection of sushi. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, there’s a large variety of food. The buffet suits any taste: eggs, bacon, salads, fruits, cheese, and different kinds of bread. Best of all is the highly recommended 230 Fifth brunch buffet, a 'must try' and one of the top NYC rooftop brunches. The 230 Fifth Rooftop's opening times are Monday to Sunday, they are open every day but after midnight, it’s only a bar and they don’t serve any food. Brunch is available on Saturday and Sunday only, from 10 am to 4 pm, but if you’re looking for a hotspot that is open all year round then this is the place to be. During the weekdays the dress code is casual but for men, leave your tank tops or sweat pants in your luggage! On weekends, you must be dressed in your upscale casual outfit which means no athletic wear, baggy jeans, t-shirts, hoodies or ripped jeans. Come for relaxing and sunny drinks with a view during the daytime or enjoy the vibrant party atmosphere at night at one of the most popular rooftop bars in New York! 

Open for outdoor dining only

If you want a relaxed nightclub experience, then you need to get to Magic Hour club in New York. It is New York City's largest indoor and outdoor all season rooftop club, bar, and lounge. Located in the Moxy Hotels building, 18 floors up, Magic Hour is split into five different environments. The giant animal girls outside are great fun. They are topiary animals cut into fun and suggestive positions, in case there was any doubt in your mind that you were attending an adult oriented venue. Further inside this continues with Foreplay, their mini golf course with humanoid animals in sexy poses instead of the usual windmill challenges. The rest of the venue has a sort of fairground feel to it. There is a small interior lounge with a bit of an industrial feel to it, with wire panels, metal frames, and a rough finish. The bare lightbulbs and curtains, and metal finishes tend to continue as a trend throughout the building. The East side outdoor space overlooks the Empire State Building and is decorated as an upscale garden party. The West side is a true carnival of fun, with one seating area even rotating like a fairground carousel. Look out for the elephant lamp! The decor everywhere is trendy and quirky, with a medley of prints and patterns on the furniture that somehow comes together just right. The indoor plants add an extra layer of wild and quirky fun to this venue. There are sexy animals and circus themes everywhere, but they fit in so well that you might only notice them when looking closely. With all round full length windows you will be able to look out over the city at night, which is a beautiful sight to behold. If you choose to sit on the rotating platform you get a great view of the city from different angles as you spin. The Magic Hour nightclub boasts a full bar with some top name brands and plenty of delicious speciality cocktails. None of the cocktails are very strong, and you will probably want bottle service or just straight shots if you want to get a real buzz going. The venue sells a selection of light bites, in case you want something to eat before the party starts, or to revive you for the dance floor. They are all unique creations from their own kitchen, and are based on classic dishes with a nice twist. There is a coat check available at the door, and the staff everywhere are very friendly and eager to please. If you need anything at all just ask them and they will probably comply, or at least see what they can do. Because the venue can be very busy they encourage making reservations. They are actually so busy that just because you make a reservation doesn't mean you have it! You will need to wait for a reply to confirm your reservation has been made and there is a table for you.

One of the hottest spots in NYC open during the 2020 pandemic. 

A new rooftop destination plants itself in the firmament of New York nightlife. The Fleur Room is located at 105 W 28th Street on Moxy Chelsea’s 35th floor. The glass-encased lounge has a 360-degree view of the Manhattan skyline, from the Statue of Liberty to the Empire State Building. The club officially opened its doors on March 7, 2019. The design by Rockwell Group adds a glamorous touch to the botanical theme with rich floral fabrics, a copper-clad bar, a water droplet chandelier, and a massive vintage disco ball that once graced the infamous LA Club Vertigo.  At the touch of a button, the glass walls of the lounge retract to create an alfresco sky veranda. Since opening its doors, it has become one of the hottest rooftop bars and for good reason, the entire design creates a sophisticated and vintage vibe. 

The Fleur Room is a one-of-a-kind experience that takes guests' breath away the moment they step out of the elevator. It’s divided into two spaces: a more casual room complete with a full classic bar and ample seating, and a second, wider room lined with banquettes that transitions into a dance floor as the night goes on. To heighten the experience, the staff raises the garage-style windows to let in the fresh air on warm spring and summer evenings. True to its name—and tipping its hat to the historic Flower District—The Fleur Room welcomes guests to a space filled with floral themes, from the massive bouquet at the entrance to the flora-encased glass tables to the floral-patterned furnishings.

Fridays and Saturdays are your best bet at The Fleur Room. By 12:30 a.m., it becomes the most fun, crazy room—but cool and curated, elevated and elegant. It’s an old-school dance party, with New York as the backdrop. Weeknights can also be a great time and tend to have smaller crowds. Guests can enjoy the relaxed lounge atmosphere and cocktail menu from opening through sunset, and as evening turns into late night, the atmosphere turns more celebratory as a DJ begins cranking the music and the dance floor fills with partygoers. The type of music played is the open format: a mix from groovy, to pop, to hip hop. The music varies to suit many different tastes and the vibe gets more clubby as the night progresses.

The Fleur Room has a reputation for attracting high-profile guests; so you never know who you’re going to see. In fact, the lounge has already hosted well-known visitors such as Mick Jagger, Idris Elba, Sebastian Stan, Mina Cvetkovic, and Chace Crawford, among others.

Be advised that The Fleur Room is pretty strict on dress code, upscale fashionable attire is required. For guys, they recommend a collared shirt, pants, and nice shoes. No basketball shorts, team jerseys, baseball caps, robes, or tank tops will be permitted in the venue. Ladies can’t go wrong with a little black dress and heels. Please note, however, that entrance is always at the discretion of the door staff. Please also keep in mind that all guests must be 21+ w/a valid ID to enter.
