Refinery Rooftop

The rooftop sits atop the Refinery Hotel in NoMad, with the Empire State Building in view and a retractable glass roof overhead. By day, the kitchen turns out an elevated yet approachable menu — the Double Patty Burger and shareable tiers of pizzas and dips get steady mentions. Come evening, it shifts into a cocktail destination, with drinks built from fresh, seasonal ingredients; one reviewer calls the old fashioned a generous pour for the price. The industrial-chic space uses vaulted brick, warm wood, and twinkling lights, and the couches run low, which is worth knowing if you're tall. Named America’s #1 Rooftop Bar & Hotel Bar by USA Today for three consecutive years, it's a comfortable spot for a drink, a bite, and a view.
