Best Place I Have Ever Been Too!!!!

by Anton Ego

This is my favorite new hotspot and I actually didnt want to write this review because I didnt want to share it. I am wriitng this because I actually got to speak to the owner at the bar and told him I was going to leave this a rating to die for because my girlfriend was so breath taken by this place! It is our new hotspot and hope not too many people find out! Thanks again for the free drink!

• Pros: Great Laid-back Ambiance Perfect For Any Setting!

Best Rooftop Bar I have ever been too!

by Bridgetann

230 Fifth is the kind of place you go to when you want your night to be special. This is not your average bar or lounge. This is one of the most amazing night spots in all of New York City. I love when Spring and Summer role around because it means I get to spend time on 230 Fifth's spectacular roof deck. Their rooftop Bar is the largest in the entire City and the view is breath taking. Don't get me wrong, I come here during the winter months too. The lounge is sprawling and fabulously beautiful. The windows spread from floor to ceiling providing a 360 view of the city. The Staff is friendly and beautiful. The drinks are made to perfection, and the food is delicious! I come here for all my swanky occasions!!

• Pros: Beautiful lounge, beautiful view, wonderful people! fun time
• Cons: I cannot think of any

Not the friendliest place

by Jade Foxx

Attempted to go to this place with 2 other attractive well dressed female friends, one black, one white. We were told we couldn't be accommodated. The group of all white ladies who were similarly dressed, apparently took up less room than our mixed group. Verdict: They're not as friendly and evolved as they pretend to be. Have recommended that none of my friends, white or otherwise spend a dollar in this space.

• Pros: Don't know
• Cons: Rude door people

Best rooftop lounge, ignore the haters

by MeganInManhattan

For the record, I've never seen ANYONE get turned away at the door. On Friday I felt like they were literally ushering the crowd of people (which included minorities) into the elevators like cattle. And if they have not let people in for "dress code" or "guest lists" or "needing to buy a bottle", don't all upscale places and in larger amounts?

230 Fifth is honestly one of my favorite bars in New York. This upscale bi-level lounge inhabits the enclosed 20th floor and beautiful open-air rooftop garden of the address. Being mere blocks from the Empire State Building, this amounts to 230 Fifth offering by far the best view of any rooftop bar that I've come across in Manhattan. The music and decor are upbeat, fun, and trendy. The crowd at 230 Fifth is varied in personal style, age AND ethnicity, and for the most part very charismatic and social. Worried that it's officially fall and you're going to freeze in the name of trendy rooftop socializing? 230 Fifth makes very stylish red fleece hooded robes available to patrons, at which I am shocked at how many New Yorkers actually willingly wear. Well, I guess it beats a Snuggie.

• Pros: best view in town, fun atmosphere, trendy with no door drama

Nothing Phenomenal

by laduvet

This place is NOT anything spectacular. However, I'll give it a plus for its rooftop because it gives you room to breathe when you're drenched in sweat of your own and sweat from people one floor down.

I picked up a drink for myself and a friend at the bar, to find out 3 days later I was charged $5.00 more than what I paid. Yes I was furious at the incompetent bartender or whoever added an extra $5 to my bill. Good thing I've taken care of that, but I am still upset about the trouble I had to go through.

• Pros: Rooftop
• Cons: Over charged my bill!

Have these people ever worked in a bar before?

by misstourist

Is the staff retarded at this place? Yes, nice view, nice food (food is cheap, drinks are not), but seriously, having to wrestle the waitress to be able to hang on to a menu for a few minutes longer seems somewhat weird. Also making a reservation is apparantly very complicated. Didn't have any issues with pony-tail bouncer, but then again, my group was all white..
