What a view!!!!!!!!!!!

A NYPD officer recommended we go to here after being very dissatisfied with another club in the area.
That night it was over crowded on the roof top but can’t beat the view. There was a very nice mixture of patrons. We enjoyed our time and have recommended it to many.
- Pros: Nice atmosphere/GREAT view
- Cons: Drink prices/low uncomfortable stools to sit on
if i were ignorant i'd give this place 5 stars

it is difficult to understand why a lot of these nyc clubs and lounges have such unfriendly doormen. First of all, they probably don't even make much...and are the biggest tools in the world. I had no problem with the doorman but he definitely thought he yielded powers of a god...probably the same feeling cops get when they abuse their power to make up for their lack in pay and the just the lack of respect they are getting now because of the bad decisions made by their peers in the past couple of years. Dont get me wrong, there are exceptional cops...but I digress ...this place has good food, some good staff, great setting ...but getting in is probably like rolling dice, especially for minorities. Why don't they just state that in the doorway before you enter.."Your chances of getting in depends on the door man..proper attire really doesn't matter as long as you are clean. Being white will help you. Life is unfair deal with it. "
- Pros: excellent food, drinks and setting
- Cons: Smug doorman, possible racism, some staff s*ck

Rooftop Brunch

We read about the rooftop brunch on line and decided to check it out for our self's. We arrived around noon time and were greeted by a very friendly host. (think his name was robby). We proceeded to take the elevators to the top floor and were blown away by the amazing view of the skyline. We requested a seat for 5. we were sat promptly. Very impressed by the palm trees. we immediately ordered our first round of "wild Strawberry mimosas" they were fantastic. (except for the fact that they were is high end plastic flutes. But guess makes sense since we were on a rooftop, and well worth it) The menu design is nice something for "Skinny People" we laughed lol We ordered the Skillet eggs it was great. Liquored up French toast was Delicious (mooched off from my party:). and we had the burger looked great. Food came out in a timely fashion. Crowd was laidback the DJ spinned house,pop disco. Waiter was really friendly. (too bad he wasn't single)
Def recommend the rooftop for brunch!
- Pros: Amazing View, No wait, Good food.
- Cons: waiter wasn't single
Racism exists

I was in line and a group of 6 beautiful foreign girls and 4 guys walked up. He didn't let them in and told them they had to buy a bottle. Then he let 2 white girls in walking by without them even having to stand in line. He then made a comment to the group "when you're tall, WHITE and beautiful, please come back."....What a jerk...is this what our country stands for?
- Pros: Discriminating Door man
- Cons: Bad attitude

My friends and I went to a private party here last Saturday night. The party we went to was well handled and had cool people. But when we ventured outside of our private party space and headed to the bar we were met with a bunch of drunken frat boys from Jersey and their equally loud and drunken female friends. By 10pm the place was full of them. Being mere blocks from Grand Central and Penn Station makes it a bridge and tunnel hot spot. The crowd was suprisingly low rent for a place that touts itself as upscale. It was like someone took their frat house or graduating class out for a night on the town. If I wanted to go to a bar and be surrounded by classless idiots and girls slobbering all over them I'd go to Joshua Tree or some other lame sports bar. At least there I could get my money's worth. Drinks are way too expensive for such a low end crowd.
- Cons: bartenders are slow, management is rude, crowd is low end
Horror show.

Wow, where to begin? Took some friends out who like outdoor bars - hadn't tried it here - management and staff were rude, bathrooms were gross (like, fecal matter on toilet gross), complaints to clean them were met with "we'll get to it," snacks we ordered were lukewarm and had obviously just been sitting in a kitchen somewhere, not even under a heat lamp, waitress spilled a drink on one person's phone and didn't even apologize (another patron called to her and she just ran off!). Won't return - the view is only OK and there are places to be outdoors where you'll be treated much better.
- Pros: View is OK - and it's nice to be outdoors
- Cons: Bad service; overpriced; dirty bathrooms
Discrimination at the front door

T230 5th ave is bad. Admission into this club is based solely on the colour of your skin and the amount of business they need to get for the day..... Good luck if you are a minortiy.
- Pros: Good View
- Cons: Bad service at the door
