Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge

“Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge is an absolute vibe. The atmosphere is next level—fun, stylish, and perfectly over-the-top in the best way. Incredible views, great music, and an energy that makes it feel like more than just a rooftop bar. The staff were fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience feel effortless. Drinks were on point, the space is super Instagram-worthy without feeling cheesy, and the overall setup is just plain fun. If you’re looking for a rooftop spot in NYC that actually lives up to the hype, Magic Hour delivers. Would definitely come back. If you want it shorter, more hype-y, or more laid-back, say the word.”

“I had the opportunity to visit the rooftop and I thought it was too beautiful and pleasant a place, beautiful to take pictures and spend a pleasant time with friends or as a couple, I was attended by the waitress Mariana, she was very nice, friendly and charismatic, her attention made the experience too pleasant, she explained the whole menu to me and made me several recommendations, thanks to her recommendation I tried the martini espresso and the Moira rose, thank you Mariana your attention was incredible, I loved the Moira rose! I loved the place and the attention. I want to come back for the summer!”

“We checked this place out for an after dinner drink recently and had a great time. They were doing a ski lodge mountain theme and had a drink menu to match the theme. Since there were only 2 of us, we passed on the shot-ski but what a fun idea. My wife enjoyed her Moira Rose and I liked my Mahogany Teakwood. The views of the Empire State Building and partial views of Times Square are awesome. The drink prices were reasonable, especially for the views. We would definitely check this place out again.”

“Loved the vibe on Saturday April 11th when they had DJs playing live music. The drinks and service were good. I had a lot of fun here and will be back just for the good music and rooftop views. We did have to wait a few minutes for a host to seat us for our reservation, but they made up for it by seating us at the cool spinning seat. My only complaint is: why is a bar called “Magic Hour” ski lodge themed…? It was weird to see winter decor in the spring. I was really hoping for better decor that matches the season and name. Maybe consider changing the theme to magic/carnival/fantasy instead of Christmas trees… NY has enough of that already during the holiday season.”

“Our expectation was less looking at the other reviews but to our surprise this spot was cool and had the vibe. Brunch is kids friendly which was great. During our last trip we booked another roof top & came to know not all places are allowed for kids. Staffs were nice inspite of their busyness. Heard this Magic Hour rooftop is part of Moxy hotel. Hence to skip the driving booked a room there for 2 days but didn’t realise there were different Moxy hotels in NYC. Had to drive and pay for parking separately. Wasn’t over crowded since it was afternoon hour. My kid enjoyed & so did we!”
