This place is the cutest little neighbor hood gem. The omacocktail experience is a must! And request Iram, he’s the sweetest and knows how to make a great drink.

Bartenders Jonathan and Juan were EXCELLENT!! They made the best drinks and kept the vibe and atmosphere going! I will definitely be back whenever either of them are here. They are the BEST.

Our experience at Ophelia’s lounge was amazing! Our friends just got married and we got almost every appetizer on the menu. Everything was delicious, especially the lobster Mac n cheese (everything got eaten too quick to picture). Favorite cocktails were the Purple Tuxedo (pictured) and the El Paso Old Fashioned! Service from Camila was very attentive and she made us feel super welcome, along with the entire staff! We’ve met bartender Ruben in the past and he was just as welcoming, with lots of knowledge on the complex cocktails and tasty food!

Stepping off the elevator into a bar with Starry Night on the ceiling, I knew I would like this place. Then you are sat at the window overlooking a gorgeous skyline. I ordered the butternut and pecan hummus and the lamp lollipops which were delicious. I wasn’t wanting an alcohol drink, so my fabulous server, Bella, recommended their Suspiro Rojo mocktail created by the busboy Omar Benitez. Let’s just say Omar needs to be a mixologist because I ended up having three of them! I need a bottle of that drink in my fridge at all times!! Didn’t try a dessert as I was quite full, but I can’t wait to return and try something. Thanks for being so amazing, Bella!

Fabulous panoramic views of Manhattan and Brooklyn skylines. Unique creative cocktail and tapas experience. Good service. Great first date or special occasion venue.

We were treated to an amazing experience at Ophelia’s during our trip to New York. It was a trip for my wife’s birthday and we couldn’t have picked a better spot. We were severed by Jonathon, David and Sebastian during our visit and they helped us find cocktails we didn’t even know we would like. Amazing service from everyone and we would 100% recommend anyone looking for amazing views, great service and tastes cocktails book here.

Ophelia Lounge is one of those rare rooftops that truly delivers on ambiance, views, and service. The art deco vibe, panoramic views of the East River, and elegant atmosphere make it perfect for a night out, whether you’re celebrating or just unwinding. What really elevated the experience was Anibal, my bartender. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly skilled at crafting cocktails. Anibal made excellent recommendations, kept the energy fun, and made us feel genuinely welcome—not rushed or overlooked, which can be rare at busy rooftops in NYC. Between the stunning views, great music, and top-tier service, Ophelia Lounge stands out as a must-visit spot. Ask for Anibal at the bar—he’ll make your night even better

Went to Ophelia’s Lounge and honestly had an incredible night. We were in a booth with a beautiful view of NYC, which immediately set the tone. The space feels classy and intimate without being stuffy — great vibe, great energy, and just an all-around cool place to spend an evening. The food was delicious across the board. Everything came out looking great and tasted even better. You can tell there’s real care coming from the kitchen, not just “lounge food.” Huge shoutout to Christy, who took amazing care of us and made the night feel easy and relaxed. Also want to give credit to Chef Antelmo — the menu is creative, well balanced, and clearly thought through. Between the food, service, and the view, Ophelia’s really nailed it. This is one of those spots you leave already talking about when you’re coming back. Definitely a 5-star experience. Highly recommend.

Orphelia truly delivered. The cocktails and appetizers were absolutely top-notch—creative, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. But the highlight of the evening was without a doubt the incredible tag-team service from Bella and Bastian. Attentive, warm, and perfectly in sync, they elevated the entire experience and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Highly recommend—this place is a must.

We had an amazing experience thanks to three incredible guys who took such great care of us. Iram, Juan y Luis were extremely attentive and genuinely helpful, offering excellent recommendations for both drinks and food. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious, and the drinks were spot on. On top of that, the atmosphere was spectacular, such great vibes, welcoming, and the perfect setting to enjoy a fantastic dinner. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Dorothy Elizabeth

We had an absolutely amazing experience here at Ophelia’s!! It was my daughter‘s 21st birthday night cap!! Lemon drop 🍸 martini is my favorite go to( bartender said it’s his favorite as well!) My Love had the “Resurrection”! Just as delicious 😋 and for the birthday girl she had “The Flapper”… Service was impeccable! Atmosphere, well can’t say enough! Clean trendy and plenty of private areas to enjoy your company!

I celebrated my birthday at Ophelia. I had never visited the lounge before. They made my party feel taken care of. The food was incredible. Highlights were the truffle fries, potatoes with caviar, filet mignon skewers, duck confit spring rolls, and French onion sliders. Great drinks included the lower East side (so smooth!). Maria was our server. We absolutely LOVED HER!!!! This place was elegant, IG worthy, the music was on point, and you need to visit!

Mark Alberto McKnight

I had an amazing experience here! The food was great. The cocktail “Ophelia’s Ascension” is one of my favorites on their menu: it is smoky, complex, and definitely a striking take on an Old Fashioned. I also really enjoyed the lamb chops I ate. The sliders are really great too. ESPECIALLY paired with the truffle fries. I was sad to hear that their Brunch was not available anymore. But the standout for the experience was the amazing Van Gogh inspired projections designs they have for the winter! Highly recommend if you are in the area.

EL AL

This is a truly delightful place to have drinks, celebrate a birthday, catch a spectacular view of the New York City skyline, or simply chill out. Everything turns out as wished for, the service is very attentive, the food is inspiring. I used a misleading or fraudulent offer from the inkind app for $50 off $150. We spent upward of $250 inkind used every excuse possible not to honor the offer. All were ludicrous and insult my intelligence: my bank has not approved the transaction; I have a new address; there was a typo in my card number; they reached out to American Express and found out there was a problem with the payment (I do not have AMEX). All in all, a waste of much time and energy to deal with people who acted in bad faith. A sorry excuse for an App

We had an absolutely wonderful evening at Ophelia! The bar has a stunning rooftop with breathtaking views of Manhattan — the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail and take in the skyline. A special shoutout to Anibal-Iram, our waiter, who made the night even better. His recommendations were spot on — he clearly knows the cocktail menu inside out and helped us choose some truly amazing drinks. The atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, the service impeccable, and the drinks unforgettable. Highly recommend Ophelia for anyone looking for a memorable rooftop experience in New York City!

This is definitely a place to experience for the view! Gorgeous scenic view of NY! 26th floor but feels like it’s much higher. The view is quite clear and perfect for great pictures! The “bites” are more for tasting, small but beautiful and quite tasty. Everything is well prepared and presented! The staff is attentive and friendly! Elizabeth is great! All the staff is very pleasant and polite. The drinks are quite tasty, although I do consider those are pricey. The portions were on the small side for the cocktails. Getting about four small plates for two would be about enough and you’ll get a good taste. The steak skewers I recommend and the duck spring rolls are also great! The croquettes are amazing but quite small. I do recommend this place, it’s always a better experience with great staff and a great view that they have.

A beautiful historic spot with a stunning 360-degree view of the city and Long Island City. The atmosphere is often quiet, cozy, and even intimate — except on nights when it turns into a full-on disco. One time we came without a reservation and had to wait quite a while, but the manager Lana (Lena?) made sure we got our table in the end. The evening turned out perfect, and we left completely happy. I truly love this hidden gem among New York’s rooftop bars! ✨

Ophelia Lounge in New York is simply magical. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere surrounds you with a unique mix of elegance, energy, and stunning city views. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the impeccable service from Carolina. Her attention to detail, charisma, and passion for what she does shine through in every interaction. The cocktails were on another level: creative, balanced, and absolutely delicious. Carolina recommended exactly what I didn’t even know I wanted. Each drink is a masterpiece, both in flavor and presentation. Without a doubt, Ophelia is a must in NYC, and CAROLINA takes the experience to a whole new level. 🌟🍸

Ophelia Lounge is a must visit rooftop, that offers stunning views, delicius food and drinks, and excellent service. Located in the Beekman Tower on 1st Avenue, Ophelia offers a perfect and picturesque view of Roosevelt Island and the Long Island City waterfront. The space offers 360 views in an extremely cozy setting, with the interior dining areas featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and the outdoor seating providing unobstructed views of the surrounding areas. To top off the experience, the food and cocktails are amazing and the service was excellent. I went for their amazing tower brunch option which is offered on Sundays from 12 to 4PM. The tower brunch option gives a tiered towers of several items which can serve for 2 or 3 persons, and they offer 4 options ranging from $49/person to $79/person. Every single item on the tower was delicious and well worth the money. They also currently have a great restaurant week menu available, which I intend to try as soon as possible!

Ophelia Lounge, perched on the 26th floor of the historic Beekman Tower in Midtown East, offers a sophisticated rooftop experience that prioritizes ambiance and conversation over a high-energy dance floor. The atmosphere is defined by its Art Deco interiors and panoramic 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline. The music at Ophelia is a standout feature, with DJs spinning "smooth beats" and curated tracks that range from chill lounge vibes to more upbeat sets on weekends. While the music creates an "intimate and electric" energy, it remains conducive to its primary purpose: socializing. Unlike many crowded NYC hotspots, guests describe it as "rooftop fun for adults" where it is actually possible to have a good conversation without shouting. Despite the great music and lively DJ sets, the venue maintains a "laid-back" and "relaxed" mood. It is a place designed for lingering over craft cocktails and shareable plates in plush velvet seating rather than for dancing. Whether you are visiting for a romantic night out or catching up with friends, Ophelia provides a classy, sophisticated setting where the focus remains on the views and the company.

Have been before. View is gorgeous, especially riverside. priced as expected. But sad and even impolite or absent service.
