The worst!

by svetiknyc

All right, this bar is right next to my work so Friday at 5pm we went there for drinks on the rooftop.

I have never seen such a bad service in all my years of living in NY.

Overpriced drinks, bar tenders not paying attention and then on top of that a horrible attitude.

It looked like bartenders hated the place themselves, did not want to be there at all

and then took it out on us.

20% tip was automatically added at the bar, so I guess they don't don't even have to smile now.

We waited for an hour for our mini burgers, the place was not busy. No one apologised.

Because this is a Metro Hotel rooftop bar, I hate to see people from out of town leaving with a sour taste in their mouth and a bad impression of NYC!!!

Needless to say: Never again!

Giving 1 star only because of the view, otherwise there would be no stars.

Bustling Midtown Hideaway

by qtgurljny

Perfect for that after-work drink the Rooftop Bar of the Hotel Metro gets crowded with Midtown white collars looking for a drink before heading home. Never had the food so cannot comment. However, great place to people watch, catch a drink and maybe meet someone. The crowd is young with plenty of people in their twenties to early thirties. Tip: There are only 2 bathrooms so make those bathroom trips count as you're likely to wait forever if you need to go again.

• Pros: Good Crowd, Relaxed Atmosphere
• Cons: Shortage of bathrooms

A spectacular view of the Empire State Building, which rears a block away like a glass-and-concrete tsunami.

In Short
The Metro Hotel's roof garden has been well designed, with sturdy decking and comfortable all-weather furniture. Wildflower boxes and pruned hibiscus bushes soften the effect and provide a pleasing contrast to the midtown roofscape. The seating area is comfortably large, providing room to spread out and minimizing any disturbances from adjacent tables. The menu features grilled meat, poultry and fish as well as several pastas, appetizers and salads, plus beer, wine and cocktails.
