Zulu Time Rooftop Bar & Lounge

The entire staff are super sweet, well spoken and very friendly . Our bartender Trinity was especially sweet I was very impressed by her. The drinks where great the food was good and the staff excellent.

Fabulous views, friendly staff, good food at good prices.

Wonderful experience!! Hubby and I got there when they opened to set up for a mini surprise family birthday party. The staff was amazing! The friendly and attentive bar manager (please forgive me, I forgot his name!) came over to introduce himself and made us feel completely at home. Our server for the evening, Jessica, was phenomenal! She was such a ray of sunshine, friendly, attentive, patient, just lovely. The food was perfect, we got a bunch of delicious appetizers and Jessica kept the drinks flowing without having to grab her attention. The music was appropriate, not too loud, and our fellow patrons were considerate of each other as well. And of course, you can’t forget about the beautiful view, which doesn’t need a review or description! A wonderful evening made even better by the wonderful staff. Can’t wait to return!!

My visit to Zulu Time Rooftop Bar and Lounge was an absolute delight from start to finish. If you're looking for a laid-back, scenic place to enjoy great food, drinks, and company, this spot checks all the boxes. First of all, the location and atmosphere are unbeatable. Perched right on the rooftop, the bar offers a stunning view overlooking the Hudson River — it's especially beautiful during sunset. There’s ample seating, including both tables and comfy lounge chairs, so you can really relax and take in the vibe. It never felt overcrowded or cramped, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Now let’s talk about the food — wow! We ordered the buffalo wings, Caesar salad, and pretzel bites, and every dish exceeded expectations. The wings were perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat, the Caesar salad was fresh and well-dressed, and the pretzel bites were soft, warm, and paired with a fig mustard dipping sauce that was honestly out of this world. It added such a unique twist and was one of the highlights of the night. Our server, Caitlin, was another standout. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive without ever being intrusive. She anticipated our needs, made great menu recommendations, and genuinely added to the positive atmosphere. And let’s not forget — she makes an amazing margarita. Perfectly balanced and so refreshing, it was hands-down one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Overall, Zulu Time offers a wonderful mix of chill rooftop vibes, quality service, and flavorful food and drinks. Whether you're meeting up with friends, going on a casual date, or just looking for a cool place to unwind after work, this spot is a solid choice. I highly recommend Zulu Time to anyone in the area or visiting — you won’t be disappointed. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Nice outdoor lounge, good drink specials, regular prices are higher than to be expected. The food was well prepared and presented, prices for food was good. The views of the Hudson River are great, especially on the August evening we were there. Our server was not the sharpest knife in the drawer, several items came wrong, some corrected and some not bothered with.

My friends and I went there for the 1st time earlier tonight and had a very good time. The views were gorgeous !!! The DJ was nice, our waiter was pleasant and the food and drinks were good. Definitely wanna go back.

Good food, good cocktails, and great service.

Good food, good cocktails, and great service.

Beautiful views of the mountains and water. Nice groupings of couches and tables to sit at. A group of younger guys without a ton of manners (likely not students) and some other hugely noisy guests ruined the mood. There was large group in the indoor pub (probably that same group since it started to rain) so loud you couldn't hear yourself think. This is summertime, so when cadets and profs are in, maybe it's a different mood?

Mediocre service and food quality; odd concept to have a sports bar in such a historic and elegant building. Really beautiful and scenic views of the river made it all worth it!

The Thayer hotel is beautiful and the rooftop restaurant had awesome views of the Hudson River. The food was not that great. My salad tasted funny in fact I got sick that night. Would only go for drinks to enjoy the view.

Place is nice with a beautiful view of the mountains. The drinks were ok but overpriced for the quality. The service was slow. The DJ was decent but the music was low, volume wise, because this is not a rooftop bar, is more like a deck bar since there is rooms behind and above it.

Food was good but service was pretty bad, all of the servers were huddled near the bar most of the time talking to each other and could barely get our server to come over when we tried. Some were talking on their phones and when they did come over they were in a rush to get away. When we did end up leaving, on our way out one ran over and had the audacity to run over on our way out and asked if we had paid. Maybe if they were paying attention and looked first at our table they would see we had payed cash. Disappointed😕

Was very excited to try this place out but very disappointed. We ordered queso and chips as an appetizer and a Philly cheese steak hoagie for our dinner around 6pm. It took almost 2 hours to get our order. Once the food finally arrived, it was very cold and not edible. We experienced long wait times on drinks as well. Multiple customers were complaining to the wait staff and having to go to the bar to order drinks and pay their tabs. The bar manager was standing around and looked very confused on what to do. SAVE YOUR MONEY, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

We had “high” hopes for this rooftop lounge at this fancy West Point hotel but were sorely disappointed. We went there to celebrate our anniversary and friends birthday, made reservations, knowing full well that this menu was light fare. When we got there, we were seated at a table with a dirty black tablecloth with a rip in it. We started with drinks which were decent. We went on to order appetizers which came out looking unappetizing in sad looking plates! The tots for $14 were like something bought from Costco covered with pulled pork and cheap cheese, the boneless chicken wings for $11 looked like chicken nuggets for kids on wilted lettuce with sauce in plastic cups, the onion rings looked dry and burnt and the “homemade” chips looked like they had opened a bag and dumped them into a soup plate! We were so turned off we did not order dinner. We ordered dessert instead which seemed to have a better description but they were so rich we could not finish them. While eating our desserts, it started to rain but they didn’t really seem to care, we grabbed our plates and drinks and ran under the bar cover. The decor and ambiance was lack luster., paint peeling off the concrete floor, broken seating, speakers falling off the wall, no lights, no music and no umbrellas for the tables that were meant for dinner. It is a waste of a great view and so much potential.

The first time I’ve went here there was two tables and the service was extremely slow. The second time I went we had to go to the bar every time we wanted to order. The waitress’s were hanging out at table with guest. It has amazing views and is a beautiful place but the service sux.
