Bar 54

On our lists of the best rooftop bars and cocktail bars in New York.

At 54 stories, this is the tallest rooftop bar in Times Square, its terrace lined with wood paneling, leather banquettes and fireplaces for winter. The cocktail list splits into sections instead of one long column: spiced and shaken drinks in one group, stirred and spirit-forward classics in another, bubbles and fizzes in a third. Food stays simple by comparison, running from bar snacks like olives and nuts up to a shared cheeseboard or a burger built for one.
