Trendy bar on the rooftop of the AC Hotel featuring cocktails & bites, plus a terrace & city views.
From Google Maps reviews.
Stopped in for a bite to eat, before a show at the Town Hall to see Celeste Barber. My sister, and BF were welcomed and we sat in several different areas to get a good feel for the environment and to see views of Manhattan. We were not disappointed, the staff, food, drinks, cleanliness and the overall rooftop bar was awesome. We go to as many as we can while visiting from NJ, and Castell Rooftop Lounge is one of the very best. Great Happy Hour menu, and comfortable sitting.
We visited during a cooler time and sat on this terrace. When it gets cold, the terrace is enclosed with glass and heated, so it was very comfortable. The cocktails are excellent, and the service is fast. We went on a weekday evening, and it wasn’t too crowded.
Loved Castell Rooftop Lounge at the AC Hotel New York Times Square. I was in NYC for a business trip and stopped in for a late bite around 9pm. Such a pretty space with a great vibe and spectacular views. Sat at the bar and they also have a great terrace. The service was friendly and welcoming. The chicken wings paired with a glass of Chardonnay really hit the spot. It’s the kind of place that’s consistently good and always delivers, which is why I keep going back.
