I watched several Here Be Barr videos before my May 2021 NYC visit, because it was my 1st time, and this video was IT! It took me 3 tries to get up to the Magic Hour Rooftop Lounge, as there was a line & long wait every night. They suggested online reservations, but the system wouldn't let me make reservations for 1. I tried calling, but after several attempts only reached voice mail. On night 4 I got lucky- it rained! And the rooftop crowd left. By this time, the security man at the front recognized me & made sure I got a place at the bar. I enjoyed myself SO much I made personal reservations for the next night! I had 1 other rooftop lounge where I hung out every night- the Monarch. The servers were fantastic, the other patrons made me feel welcome & the view of the Empire State Building towering above us made for my most epic vacation pics! This was supposed to be my once in a lifetime tour. But I had SO much fun at these places & missed just enough of Brooklyn & Staten Island that I may go back in 2022! See you at the bar, Barr!

Us locals appreciate your recommendations as always. My gf didn’t know what to do for her 30th. Now we’re going to go to the ledge next Saturday

[monstermaniac]

Can’t believe you didn’t put Westlight in Williamsburg. That is the greatest views of Manhattan you’ll ever get. Rooftop games and great music.

[Frodokeuh]

goddamn nightlife is expensive in NY
i have to pick one of these very carefully haha..

[mandixoloveyourself]

I’m just impressed that you did this when it’s record high hot out in NYC.

[romaczech]

One of my favorites is Henry's Rooftop at the Roger Smith Hotel. It's no-frills & small but that's why I love it. So good.

Hi I’ve visited NY 2xs and during those I got to check out the Magic Hour, 230 Fifth, Castell. Surprisingly The Press Lounge didn’t make this list however it has breathtaking views overlooking the Hudson River and the service and drinks were superb!

I got lots of ideas too. I've been to NYC a few times and can't wait to add rooftop bars to my list. Thanks so much for the video and I loved the pineapple shirt too.

I literally searched for “rooftop bars in nyc” a few days ago, and now I’m greeted with this video 😏😏

[MannyExploresVlog]

Those are some really awesome rooftop spots, I've been to 230 Fifth once and its great, another cool rooftop bar is called Top of the Strand, its right next to my job and has a great view of empire state building.
