230 Fifth Rooftop Bar

4.3/10

AI-generated summary

People say skip it. The drinks come watered down in plastic cups, the astroturf is tacky, and the crowd is tourists and bros. The view of the Empire State Building is good and the heated winter igloos have their fans, but that's the whole argument for going.

  • 230 Fifth is a strong skip imo. Based on your plan to go to places like Pastis, it seems you’re interested in nicer spots. 230 Fifth feels like a cheap bar college bar. Gross, stained furniture, plastic cups, tacky AstroTurf covering the whole outside area.

  • replying to u/Qadd1000: 230 5th might be alright

    If you want watered down drinks in plastic cups and subpar chicken tenders, make your way to 230 5th.

  • replying to u/blogterms: 230 5th has a good view of Empire state. But afai there’s no service at rooftop in December. Food’s decently good and great drinks.

    This place is objectively terrible. It does have a good view of the ESB but if the OP is older than 25 they will feel old af here. And no matter your age, this place is terrible.

  • 230 Fifth is gaff -- I recommend it very occasionally, such as to people who want a daytime rooftop bar they can access with their kids... but... unless you need it, skip it.
