Yummy Drinks, pretty view. POOOOOOOR service. I was overcharged 362 dollars, it's been five days and they still haven't gotten it back to me!!!!! Drinkers beware! Pros: Yummy ...

Beautiful space, bad cocktails 7/9/2009

My friend and I came here on a Wednesday night. We were surprised by how tiny the space is! It is tastefully decorated both inside and outside. I think it's a great place for a date, but definitely not a place to meet other people. I would stay away from the cocktails on their menu. My friend and i tried 2 different cocktails and they tasted like shampoo ! yuck!! If you go there stick with your normal drinks (Tanq & tonic, etc.) The waitresses were polite and delivered our drinks quickly. Would consider go back here on a date. Pros: really cute outdoor bar, pretty inside too, good for a date Cons: very small, bad tasting cocktails! more

Rooftop Chic 11/21/2008

Even with the cold weather, Bookmarks is a great place to go to take off the edge after work. You can smoke outside, if you choose, and then come cuddle up by the fireplace. I was introduced to the bar by a private party and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. Then as I came back on my own, I appreciated more and more about the bar. The menu has a delicious variety of signature cocktails with literary names. My favorite is the Hemingway. I love to go on Tuesday nights because it's pretty quiet and the hilarious bartender is awfully cute. They also now get high end bar food delivered from the bistro downstairs, which adds an even better after work treat. Seriously, with good food, better drinks, awesome service & fantastic ambiance, this place can't be beat. Pros: Drinks, Ambiance, Bartenders Cons: Bathroom one floor up more

Nice Space, average service 8/21/2008

Nice terrace view. $12 vodka-club's. Zero-personality bar waitresses. Nice for quick pre-dinner after work drink. Terrace gets full by 7pm. Pros: View Cons: Service more

Very Classy 5/20/2008

I was just there this past Saturday evening and I have to say that I had a really nice time with my friends. Pros: Very Classy - Good Martinis Cons: Bathroom a little inconvenient but the atmosphere outweighs this small tid bit more

Private, intimate and low key 11/14/2006

This is a wonderful bar in the GC area that's not overrun by the after work stalkers! A great place for meeting a certain somebody incognito, meeting a date or relaxing. The staff is friendly and don't rush you out. The outside is great when it's warm and the inside is actually bigger than you think. The only negative is that there is one bathroom that you have to go up a flight of stairs to get to and is not part of the bar at all. Pros: atmosphere, location, intimacy Cons: bathrooms more

Stepford Wives, Scary Staff... 10/24/2006

My first two visits were comfy,if not a bit scary. The staff is overly, and somewhat aggressively attentive: I stood to look for the restroom, and was confronted and 'directed' up the stairs. Pros: nice hotel, nice space Cons: service, pricey drinks that were not that great more

An Oasis 3/16/2006

I just stumbled across this place after passing it every day on my way to work for 4 years. It is a GREAT spot. And as much as I wish them success, selfishly I hope it stays hidden. Pros: atmosphere, drinks, fireplace Cons: a bit pricey more

Owner Message

  • Crowning a Grand Central-area hotel where each guestroom floor is named after one of the ten major Dewey Decimal System categories, the Rooftop Bar is the tipsy offspring of corporate and literary culture. A fireplace and mahogany paneling project eighties Wall Street stateliness while the summery wooden deck chairs in the creme conservatory suggests a 1940s literary colony on the Cape. The demographic isn't quite so evenly split: Suited execs with loosened ties are more likely to mingle with casually attired Europeans abroad then bed-headed, rumpled-jacketed poets and publishers.

    On a rooftop garden that accommodates smoking (and is covered come winter), secondary perks include a solid wine list and elegant cocktails like the Chambord Royale which artfully blends Stoli Vanilla, Chambord and fresh grapefruit juice. Come and join us at Bookmarks for a rooftop experience like no other.
