Upstairs at The Kimberly

Established in 2008, this Midtown space transitions from an open terrace to an intimate lounge setting. While many local rooftops only open at night, this venue opens all day on weekends, serving brunch alongside nightly dinner and weekday happy hours. Note that the lounge enforces a strict 21+ after 4 PM age policy. The bar receives consistent praise for its drinks, particularly the Smokey Old Fashioned, though feedback on the kitchen is mixed, with guests noting small, expensive portions or dishes that do not quite match the caliber of the cocktails.
