Top Bars in New York

Check the weather before you go. I didn't, and the wind was brutal up there, which kinda ruined my photos.

My advice is to take your time exploring the rooftop. It's spacious, so find a nice spot to chill and enjoy the skyline.

Make sure to arrive around sunset, like 7 PM, to catch both daytime and nighttime city views. It’s a beautiful transition!

I recommend checking if they have any special events or happy hours before your visit. You could snag a good deal on drinks!

Plan for the weather! If it's chilly, bring a light jacket because it gets windy up there and you don't want to miss the view.

I suggest checking the happy hour specials when you arrive. I saved a few bucks on drinks this way and they were delish!

I recommend geting there around 5 PM for happy hour deals. Drinks are way cheaper, and it’s less crowded for some casual darts!

My advice is to ask the bartenders for their specials. They have some off-menu items that are really good and could save you a few bucks if you’re lucky!

If you're hungry, definitely try the sliders! They were super tasty, but a little pricier. Maybe share a plate to save money, it’s worth it!

I recommend asking the staff for their favorites; they're super knowledgeable and helped me find some hidden gems on the menu. It's way better than just ordering randomly!

I think you should sit at the bar if you want a more personal experience. The bartenders are really friendly and will take the time to chat and suggest drinks tailored to your taste.

Make sure to check out their happy hour specials, especially on cocktails. They often have some pretty solid deals that can save you a few bucks–I mean, who doesn't love a cheap drink, right?

If you can, avoid peak times on weekends, like 10 PM. It gets packed and you might find yourself waiting a while just to grab a drink or a tiny table. I regretted not going earlier that night!

I recommend chatting with the bartenders; they're friendly and can give you great tips on what to order or even the best nights to come back. I found their recommendations spot on and really enjoyed trying something new!

I suggest visiting on a Tuesday or Wednesday night; it’s way less crowded and you can soak in the vibe without being squished. Also, drinks are sometimes cheaper those days!

My advice is to take a stroll around the West Village before or after. It’s a charming area with nice spots for photos and some cute cafes. It really adds to the whole experience.

Bring cash! Some places around there offer better deals for cash payments. I almost missed out on a great cocktail because I didn't have any.

If you can, check out the small events they host on weekends. I went to a drag show that was so much fun and not packed like the bar can get on Fridays!

I think bringing some cash is a smart move. Some tables only take cash or they have an extra fee for card payments, so it’s better to avoid any surprises!

I recommend going on a weeknight. It gets less crowded and you can snag a pool table without waiting forever. Plus, you might even catch some cool local games happening!

If you plan to eat, order the nachos. They're massive and a hit with most people. Just be prepared to share, they don't skimp on portion size.

I suggest bringing some cash; the bar can get a little swamped with card payments, and you'll save time if you can just hand over cash

I recommend going on a weekday evening instead of the weekend. It gets super packed and you might have to wait for a table. Weekdays usually have a more relaxed vibe.

Check out their happy hour deals; they can save you a bunch on drinks! I didn't realize they had one until my second visit, and it made a huge difference.

I suggest hitting up Society Billiards after 8 PM; it gets super busy, but the vibe is amazing. Plus, they turn on happy hour deals around that time, which helps save some cash!

My advice is to check if they have any special events going on before you go. I didn't and missed out on a cool tournament that would have been fun to watch

I think you should definitely try their cocktails, but be careful with the prices. I was surprised at the bill at the end. Maybe stick to the beer specials if you're looking to save a few bucks.

If you're a beginner at darts, don’t hesitate to ask the staff for tips. They're super friendly and really helpful with teaching you the ropes.
