Reviews for Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge in New York, NY

A great place to hang out with your entire gang or just your special someone, but you'd do well to think of Magic Hour as a... wonderful bar more than expect it to be a great culinary experience. My wife did enjoy her Grilled Shrimp Tacos, and a couple ofthe fancy cocktails on the menu as well. Love the views here, the enormous space, the vibe, even the carousel seats! Got tovisit again in the evening next time! You can also check out my review/feature on YouTube (armanikolas). Read more

Bartenders were kind and the atmosphere is great! The menu leaves much to be desired. I would never pick sliders to eat at such... a nice looking place or shrimp tacos but they were what was recommended to us. We were excited to play mini golf, but theyclosed it since Covid started and never brought it back out. We returned for the nightlife scene and with only reserved seatingand no dancing to the loud music playing over every speaker, we left early. Still such a beautiful place, I recommend going forbrunch with the gals. Read more

Place is cute, you can definitely take cute pictures. I honestly thought that it?s more pink and girly. Drinks were nice and... fancy, food was alright. But the service? we had to wait a very long time. We were trying to get attention of the staff but ourserver basically didn?t see us! And we?ve seen them standing and just chatting with other servers. This is definitelyunacceptable and I don?t think that we?ll be there again. Read more

The ambiance of this place is super nice! I loved it. The prices are really high and you don't get a lot for the money but the... food is good. The music is ok. Wasn't really a Thursday night we are on a rooftop having a good time vibe. More sochill/elevator music. A DJ or better sound track would have been better. The service wasn't that great. We had to keep askingfor the waitress or trying to find her. We had to ask for silverware and napkins. My friend asked for a dirtier martini and ashot of something and the other waitress came over and said "she didn't understand you". So instead of asking for clarity shejust didn't bring it over and we had to ask another waitress. I would say try it out at least once. Get some dope pics. But Idoubt I'd return any time soon.

It took us a while to find the entrance because we saw the hotel first and signs inside aren't very helpful. When we did finally... find it, we saw the long line as expected for a Sunday afternoon but we gave it a shot anyway. We asked the doorman if we couldjust get drinks and he was very friendly and told us to come on in. The line to get into the elevator to get up is very, veryhot but we survived. Everyone was very friendly during this process. We get up there and find tables filled with brunch goersall dressed up. We found refuge in the second bar where there were little tables. The barman there was very curt and said he wasstill setting up (he was "setting up" the whole time we were there). So we went to the main bar outside and ordered our drinks.The decorations and drinks are gimmicky but that's what makes it fun! We got three cocktails and all of them were amazing anddidn't make me feel sick with sugar! It's fun watching all the creative drinks and food dishes come out. Read more

Hudson Guild's all staff event held here. Lovely rooftop venue. Plenty seating. Food tasty. DJ trendy beats. Nice place to... gather safely above the city noise. Needs at least ambient lighting in the hall, bathrooms and elevator. Read more

This place is definitely interesting. It has a lot of decor, the entrance is nice and it has a cool view of the Empire State... Building. However, we were four people and ordered four drinks, the glasses are not glasses they are plastic cups which alreadyfeels a little odd. This is the first place in NYC where none of the four drinks were good, they probably used cheap alcohol? ifthey?re cutting costs on the container I cannot imagine on the drink itself. The food was okay? regular bar food nothing crazy.They price their drinks and food as high as any other actually good cocktail bar in the city. The service from our waiter wasVERY SLOW, she never came back to check on us even when we were trying to order more food. The food was surprisingly quick (itcame before our drinks which I don?t think is supposed to happen). I would have to say though the DJ is pretty good. The wholetime the music was amazing. I would say the atmosphere and ambiance it?s probably the best thing about this place. If you?redrunk and wanna vibe at a decorated place with views but don?t really care about the quality of what they are serving you, thisis the place for you. It kind of ruined the first night of our guests in the city? Read more
