Starchild Rooftop Bar & Lounge

“I had a really nice time on this cute rooftop bar! I had a crisp prosecco, burger sliders, and the hamachi tacos. All very good but the hamachi tacos were truly amazing. Special thank you to Kevin the lead bartender who was exceptionally hospitable and made my trip up from DC memorable on my first night in town! I’ll definitely be back!”

“Great view! There is also seating more inside closer to bar. Colder where the view is in the winter, all they have are little heaters but it was okay with a jacket. Music is like a club so be aware of that. But fun vibe could still have a convo. Whipped ricotta was good just expensive for 4 small crusts to dip in it. Our waitress was great”

“This place brought the Christmas/holiday vibe, which was much appreciated. Def more of a drinks place, but the food was also pretty good. I think what we had may have a Christmas specials menu. The cranberry brie pull-apart bread was delicious. Unclear where the walnuts were supposed to be. Also unclear whether there was nuts in the cocoa cookie dip. The dip was quite good, the cookies that came with it were alright. The pretzel was not good, rather dry, but good mustard dip that came with it. Lots of variety in the drinks menu, even some choices of fun mocktails! The spot is also really cool, the roof and windows are just a skylight through which you can see the city. The service was fine, not great but not terrible. Highlight was definitely stuffing myself with cheesy bread.”

“Me and my fiancé went here while on our anniversary trip to NYC. The ambience and setting is beautiful and you get a wonderful view of the city. The drinks were delicious however the service was slow. We left our seats for a few minutes to use the restrooms and I had left my coat in my seat. Our 2 drinks were at our table and were half full and we had our water glasses there as well. When we returned to our seat our drinks had been taken away which I thought was crazy since I left my coat there and didn’t think it looked like we had left the bar. We let our server know about this and she apologized and brought us 2 more drinks which we greatly appreciated. However, we also asked for our water glasses back and our server never came back. Maybe 10 minutes later another server came by and we asked them for water and they provided it. Overall, we enjoyed our time because the servers were friendly and the drinks and view were great. Only issue was the slow service.”

“Came on a Friday evening for a drink with my friends. Ordered a bottle of red wine and was not impressed with the wine glass used. I asked for a pepper red wine glass and the service crews kept telling me they ran out of wine glasses. Yet, I kept seeing proper wine glasses coming out of the counter when wines were ordered by the glasses. One of the crew said he’ll get me proper wine glasses when I asked, but nothing happened throughout our stay there. I don’t think it’s acceptable for an upmarket lounge not to have proper wine glasses for serving.”
