This was a fun place to have a drink and snack before seeing a show. They patio area was covered so it was comfortable even at 40 degrees. Their drinks were fun and tasted delicious. The old fashioned was a generous pour for the price. It also had a good view of the empire state building. We had the cheesecake and the tuna appetizer. Both very delicious. They had lots of other food that looked tasty as well. Overall, a cool place for drinks.
We recently traveled from Toronto to New York and had the chance to enjoy lunch at Refinery Rooftop, and it was a fantastic experience. The rooftop patio is covered, making it comfortable to sit outside and take in the skyline views regardless of the weather. Its location is also very convenient, just a short distance from Grand Central Station. The service was excellent from start to finish—attentive, friendly, and efficient. The menu offered plenty of variety, with something for everyone, and
We loved absolutely everything about The Refinery. Ellie, was such an amazing server. She was incredibly attentive and friendly throughout our entire experience. We appreciated all that she did to make my son’s 21st birthday lunch a memorable and happy one. She even bought out a piece of cake and shots for us all - so much fun! The food was delicious, the bar is trendy, and the atmosphere is simply beautiful and clean. We also had great views. I highly recommend and can’t wait to come back! It’
