I had a terrific experience here. There was a business gathering which was crowded and noisy. My date and I asked to be moved to a different table which they accommodated immediately and we had a lovely time there. It started to rain so they moved us to, a different table that was more sheltered, and we enjoyed another drink there. Eventually, they moved us to a third table with a better view because the party had dissipated. Basically they took care of us above and beyond any expectation I had. The drinks were excellent, Service. The decor is a fun beach theme.

The views are amazing!!  Provides a unique opportunity to see downtown and midtown with minimally obstructed views, while feeling like you are “nestled” amongst the buildings.

A very different view than from one of the observation decks.

Had drinks. No food. Service was fine. Vibe is interesting for NYC - beach theme.

Would definitely go back for the views.

This was super over rated. The staff was so rude and were very pretentious. The food was mediocre. The only thing I liked were the views and the swings. They did a good job with ambiance of Hamptons but I wouldn’t go again

My new favorite rooftop! Absolutely loved the food and drinks, some of the best I’ve had. Service was great as well!

You can definitely feel the beachy/Hamptons vibe. The swing set is so cute! Music is good and not overbearing.

Great views of Empire State Building and you can see downtown as well.

Came here on a work trip with a very large group of people and Sandbar was extremely kind and gracious despite us being a large group that kept growing!

Located on the top floor of Hilton New York, Fashion District, you are met with a beachy lounge with 360 views!

They have an extensive menu of drinks and food, a little of something for everyone. A few of us had a few bottles of Wolffer Estates Summer in a Bottle, a rose local to the Hamptons.

This is a great spot for a relaxed outing or even a date night - try out the swings!
