The 230 Fifth Rooftop has a large lounge area with a breathtaking view over Manhattan and the Empire State Building, indeed the ESB is just blocks away from the bar.

What’s the atmosphere of the rooftop?

It depends on when you’re going to the rooftop. If you’re visiting New York with some friends, the best is to go by night. The background music is a bit loud, but you’ll enjoy the lights of the Empire State Building!

If you’re travelling with you children, you may know that it will be impossible to spend the night at the 230 Fifth Rooftop (if they are under 21 years old, they won’t be allowed to get into any bar in the U.S.). But you can go with them during the week before 7pm or for a brunch on Saturday or Sunday!
