Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge offers an energetic vibe with "great drinks" and a "fun atmosphere." The rooftop's "stunning views" and "Instagram-worthy" decor make it a popular choice for celebrations. However, service can be inconsistent, and the menu is limited, so it's best for those prioritizing ambiance over a full dining experience.

    A neat experience. The rinks were okay. Out sitting arrangement was interesting. It was by a door to the patio people kept trying to use, despite there being another door. The door would not stay on the hinges and was difficult for people to close, which let a lot of cold air in.

    Food was disgusting. I don’t understand how they are over charging for frozen bag food. I could’ve made this at home

    Lovely view of the Empire State Building, food was yummy, we went at the weekend so I could take my teen girls. They found it very loud. Music was good fun though. Nice vibe. Very low tables to eat at….

    Fun, up-beat environment! The kitchen was closed when the website said it would still be open, so we could not try food.
