LilliStar

LilliStar Rooftop at Moxy Williamsburg is a total win. The Manhattan views are chef’s kiss—the kind that make you stop mid-sip to take a photo (or five). Cocktails were on point: fun, creative, and dangerously easy to drink. Service was excellent without being stiff—everyone was friendly, quick, and clearly knew what they were doing. And bonus points for how easy it was to get there from Lower Manhattan. Quick hop over, elevator ride up, skyline payoff. Zero stress, all vibes. Highly recommend if you want great drinks, great views, and an excuse to say “wow” out loud at least once.

We love LilliStar! It’s one the most underrated rooftop bars in the city - the views are incredible, the drinks are super creative and fun, and the vibes are always amazing. Cannot wait for the patio to open up again for the season!!

The rooftop at the Moxy Williamsburg is a real dark-horse gem. Tucked beside the Weylin dome with wide open views of the Williamsburg Bridge, it feels like one of those rare spots you stumble into and immediately wonder how more people don’t talk about it. Golden hour hits perfectly, and the bridge lights at night are just as good. Drinks and light bites come out fast, the bar itself is gorgeous and stations were well attended. The staff felt attentive and didn’t hover

Always a vibe and the views are just iconic. If you’re looking for a place with dope people, great drinks and bites, tunes to set the tone for the night and a skyline backdrop to die for - this is your place. Can’t wait to come back!

This place has the best views of Brooklyn and Manhattan, a fantastic cocktail program, and the food menu is the perfect pair for drinks! They have some awesome DJ sets there too.

Their rooftop party was a 10/10 experience!! I was visiting from Los Angeles and wanted to find the best rooftop party. I looked on social media and bought a $30 ticket for the Amber rooftop party. It had great vibes and friendly people. They had about three different DJs playing, and I was dancing and vining from 3 p.m. until 8 p.m. NYC is the bedtime city in the world. I wish I were living here.

Great vibe roof top with a nice view of the city and nice music. We stayed at the Moxy and was able to take the hotel elevator up. Professional and friendly staff, drinks were mid (gave me a tiki bar vibe), but the view and atmosphere were well worth it.

Place has potential. Missing something but could not tell you what it is. Tonight's party Revival was very cute. But music was IT! Def needed at least one more bartender. Overall, I can see this as an up an coming spot for a fun chill night to mingle. Did not try the food. Next time. And Drinks were good and very NYC prices.

Pretty Low key rooftop for Moxy Hotel. A good spot to come with friends last minute. The cocktails are pretty good and creative for a rooftop bar. FRIED PICKLES & RANCH and NANA PUDDING were my favs

Beautiful views and great day. The drinks were ok. Definitely city prices.

Friends introduced me to this rooftop bar. It's very stylish and has great views. It can get very windy in the outdoor seating area so be aware of that. Cocktails are pretty good.

So I knocked down a star because the first drink I ordered " Mezzy something" omg it was disgusting, taste like franks in a cup. I've never tasted anything like that before! Definitely a hard pass and it was in a small cup for $20... it's a hard no for me.... other than that the vibes were good,the dj was doing his thing & I would probably go again.

The view is amazing, can see the bridge and one world trade. When I went they had a DJ event so the music was good that day. The downside: it’s pricey and the service wasn’t great. If you’re visiting NYC or just in the area, this is a good place to grab a cocktail and take in the sunset before continuing your night.

Why disrespect me on my birthday. I gave you an extra $30 & you walked away. Terrible customer service after my second drink. Malicious, enititlement. You targeted me, walked away after I gave a cash & debit card TIP. Shame on you!!

The bouncer with the little braids is very rude. He curse people out, holds the line, and won’t let you in unless you pay him bribe money and get a table. He completely does not acknowledge guest lists and has a disgusting attitude. I’ve made sure to make sure my connections do not attend events held here in the evening. Management need to get rid of him ASAP!

I had a very unpleasant experience at this bar earlier today. While I was having a genuine conversation with another guest about local coffee shops in our neighborhood (that I initiated), the bartender interrupted, over-talked me, and completely hijacked the conversation to make it about himself and his own coffee experiences without being invited into the conversation. He stole the moment from us and dismissed my voice, and acted I was not existing in the seat when he excluded me and fought to control the conversation by raising his voice in an attempt to cover mine. It sounded personal, incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional. I genuinely can’t believe I experienced this type of person giving service. I even tipped well when I closed the tab the moment I ordered. At least, he should have faked respect for the sake of the tip. Later on the rooftop, I witnessed another troubling incident. A group of white women stood on seats to take photos without being stopped, but when a Black couple did the same thing, a staff member came running out, shouting “No, no, no!” so loudly that everyone thought there was an emergency. The double standard and the way it was handled were shocking. Between the bartender’s disrespect and the inconsistent way guests were treated, I left feeling disappointed and very uncomfortable. This is not the welcoming atmosphere a bar should have. Luckily, we have many rooftop bars in Williamsburg.
