★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Their 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.
August 03 · Yamit FlorentinI 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.
August 28 · BeckyWhy 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!!
August 23 · Ramon Didgey0 stars from the get go.Whoever was the bouncer with the bad cut beard and raggedy beat up shoes on yesterday needs to be fired immediately and/or check himself when trying to conduct business. He made a smart comment to me and my friends when we were having our own conversation amongst ourselves that nothing to do with him. Then he tried to tell my friend he couldn’t come in with his pants (the pants were regular PANTS from zara with stripes🙄) regardless we still got in.. the drinks were a little expensive, but the vibe inside the club and rooftop was decent. The people made the party good.. NOT the business itself or employees.
July 27 · Montez GrayPlace 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.
