To truly enjoy New York<\/a> you should get out and have a drink on one of these excellent rooftop bars.\u00a0 Enjoying sky-high libations typically comes as a cost in NYC. Expect to pay slightly more than standard when dining above the city lights.<\/p>\n

Bar SixtyFive at Rainbow Room<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located on the 65th floor of 30 Rock (Rockefeller Center) and billed as the highest outdoor terrace bar in NYC, Bar SixtyFive<\/a>\u00a0is one of the best places to enjoy a drink with a view. \u00a0The price of a cocktail might have you sway more than the liquor itself, but keep in mind that your $25\u00a0libation\u00a0is roughly the same price as admission to the Top of the Rock observation deck location just one floor above. Sunset would be the ideal time to visit, but be sure to \u00a0leave the jeans and sneakers back at the hotel as\u00a0“proper attire” is requested.<\/p>\n

The Press Lounge<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Press Lounge<\/a>, located on the top floor of the Ink48 Hotel<\/a>, is prized\u00a0for its spectacular views of the city. Guests are treated to not one but two iconic NYC sites: the Hudson river and the iconic Manhattan skyline.\u00a0\u00a0Expect to pay about $20\u00a0(including tip) for a perfectly mixed cocktail. We would recommend something from the seasonal menu, perhaps a Seravek\u2014Atlantico rum, blackberry puree, lime juice, and club soda. \u00a0Those with an appetite might want to start at the Press Lounge for a little cocktail hour before heading out for a meal. The small plate menu is limited and might leave\u00a0the hungry\u00a0wanting. In other words, go for the drinks and the views, but leave before your belly is empty and the lounge gets crowded.<\/p>\n

Viewfinder Tip: Most of these sky-high watering holes have a dress-to-impress dress code. Swap the sightseeing sneakers and jeans for something a little more swanky or risk being turned away at the door.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

230 Fifth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rain or shine, 230 Fifth<\/a> is renowned as one of the best rooftop bars\u00a0in New York City. This two-floor watering hole allows summer guests to soak up the sun twenty floors above the ground, while those visiting in the chilly winter months can snuggle up and stay warm in provided plush red robes while huddled under a heated inflatable igloo. Regardless of the season, the reason you’ll be there is to\u00a0be treated to one of the best unobstructed views of the Empire State Building. Your cup will overfloweth with the wine, beer, and cocktail selection, while\u00a0the full food\u00a0menu is nothing to scoff at.<\/p>\n

PH-D Lounge at Dream Downtown Hotel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dream Downtown Hotel<\/a> by itself is a magical building with a touch of surrealism and whimsy. The glass-bottomed pool serves as the ceiling for the lobby and the circular windows stud the metallic high-rise. The PH-D Lounge\u00a0serves fine champagne and classic cocktails in a swanky bar that blends modern design with a rough-hewn wood look. Grab one of the benches along the railing and order a 50 Shades of Bleu\u201450 Bleu vodka, Luxardo Maraschino, cr\u00e8me de violette, and sparkling wine.<\/p>\n

Loopy Doopy<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the ultimate view of the Statue of Liberty, come enjoy this rooftop bar in lower Manhattan. The Loopy Doopy<\/a>\u00a0 perches atop the Conrad Hotel and serves a blend of urban and fun in each glass. Their signature frozen cocktails, like the Prosecco &\u00a0Ice Pop cocktail, set them apart. Red Plum Sour and the Blackberry Gimlet are great examples of their frozen summer beverages for adults. At $18\u2013$25, this bar is a great place to enjoy a cocktail and savor the view. Don’t miss out on their Prosecco on tap either.<\/p>\n
