In Short
When the weather turns warm, Rockefeller Center sends the Zamboni ice machine home and opens up its outdoor, below-ground-level rink as a restaurant and bar. Colorful umbrellas set a festive tone for the place, which, in addition to tourists, attracts a large after-work crowd. The menu offers burgers, salads and pastas, as well as a cocktail list that includes specialty margaritas and frozen drinks.

Went here for brunch/lunch last summer, the hostess was sorta snobby, we were sat at a nice table. The server was friendly and the food was just average and over-priced. Wish we would have checked out the bar scene there. The scenery around is lovely, wish we would have been there around christmas with all the lights and what not.

This used to be a great place for happy hour a couple of years ago - the drinks were good and strong and specials were reasonably priced. However, the quality of the drinks and service has steadily declined. The mojitos (which used to be the best anywhere) are horrible - made with some awful fruit mix and no rum, for a higher price. Service is almost non-existent. The management seemed to be trying to drum up business with typical bar gimmicks (girls in bikinis handing out promotional junk), but it just ruined the casual atmosphere. They would be better served to hire a decent, POLITE waitstaff. It's still nice if you want a convenient outdoor spot or want to show an out-of-towner around, but it's not the quality spot it used to be.

I must say....the cosmos and mojitos that were premade in jugs earlier that day (or week who knows??) were outstanding!!! I know if I were a tourist visiting NYC I would surely visit the Rink bar and pay 8-10 bucks for the delicious T.G.I Friday's quality drinks. It was equally pleasurable meditating on the phone to instrumental Paula Abdul hits, while waiting on numerous occasions for the oh so attentive management to follow through with simple requests. Who wouldn't enjoy emptying their wallets on overpriced crappy drinks, in a well known establishment, run by a bunch of inexperienced 20somethings?? Is my sarcastic tone oozing out of the moniter?? Good. Mission accomplished.
