Elsie Rooftop
A dress-up-optional rooftop built around cocktails and late-night hang time.
Notable Picks
8.2
A chic Midtown rooftop lounge where the point is cocktails and atmosphere, with light bites that keep the night intact (think skewers, flatbreads, and snackable plates). It’s a strong “late meeting turns into drinks” option when you want a polished room without committing to a full dinner service.
Must-Try Dishes:
Truffle grilled cheese, Chicken skewers, Flatbread (seasonal variations)
What Makes it Special: A dress-up-optional rooftop built around cocktails and late-night hang time.
Worthy Picks
7.9
Connolly’s 47th Street is a family-run Irish pub spread over multiple floors, capped by a casual rooftop level used in good weather. Midtown office workers and theatergoers rely on it for pints, TVs and hearty plates like fish and chips or shepherd’s pie, with the rooftop offering open-air seating more about atmosphere than skyline drama.
Must-Try Dishes:
Fish and Chips, Shepherd's Pie, Corned Beef and Cabbage
What Makes it Special: Traditional multi-level Irish pub with a seasonal rooftop deck steps from Grand Central and Rockefeller Center.
