#6--230 Fifth
Address: 230 5th Avenue
Phone: (212) 725-4300
Phone: (212) 725-4300
No list of rooftop bars would be complete without mention of the gorgeous 230 Fifth rooftop garden. Though insanely expensive and sorta old, 230 Fifth still gets the job done for the Thursday-Saturday crowd. Check it out one night in the city for a good party but definitely bring a group, its not the most "social" bar per se. (P.S. The lines are long and if you are not wearing a collared shirt and dress shoes its curtains for you...)
