Above NYC Rooftop: A New 26th-Floor Bar on West 36th
Above NYC Rooftop, 26 floors up at 269 West 36th Street between Seventh and Eighth, is in its soft opening and doesn’t run a happy hour yet. Its own menu page lists it as “coming soon.”
The verdict: a rooftop near Penn Station with no cover and no reservation game, which is already more than most Midtown roofs offer. Until the drink prices are posted, go for the view and assume rooftop pricing.
What to Expect
Open Wednesday to Sunday from 4pm, last order at 11pm, kitchen until 10pm; closed Monday and Tuesday for now. There’s an open-air deck and a covered section that’s heated in winter, DJs, and a dress code that rules out sweatpants and gym clothes. It’s 21 and over on Friday and Saturday nights. Bottle service starts at $250.
