the Press Lounge

Perched atop the Ink 48 hotel lies the best rooftop in Manhattan hands down. It’s situated against the Hudson River in Hell’s Kitchen thereby affording an unobstructed, bucolic view of midtown Manhattan, the Hudson and NJ. Unlike many Manhattan rooftops I’ve never felt packed like sardines here. The vibe is upscale casual but it’s not pretentious - classy. Service is usually pretty good. Drinks are good but on pricier side but consider it the price for experiencing the view. I would call ahead because sometimes they shut down the roof for exclusive corporate events. One can go here in Winter but this place really shines in Summer. Perfect for a date night, grabbing a drink with a client or friend or a small group of friends. 11/10 recommend.

Great beautiful Vibes and good staff unfortunately they're closing soon : /

Extremely romantic rooftop bar with very tasty beverages.

DO NOT VISIT. I would’ve personally rate zero stars or less. I went to this establishment with family and friends during New Year’s Eve. Near the end of our stay we were accosted by employees and staff, and they refused to give us back the clothing and stuff that we had checked in at coat check earlier that night. I was then grabbed and assaulted by one of your staff. After I had asked him to stop touching me, and he ripped out handfuls of hair and threw me to the ground. I’ve sent and email requesting a refund for the worst experience ever. And I haven’t got any reply from them. I did not pay almost 300 dollars to be discriminated and harmed by anyone. If you keep reading some comments you’ll notice a pattern of violence and rudeness from the staff. So make you self a favor DO NOT VISIT THIS LOUNGE. I attached my hair where you can clearly see it’s ripped off from the scalp. You can also see how the woman felt bad cause they saw how he grabbed me from the hair. They even said Sorry.

The staff members and service were great, and the view was amazing; super experience.

Excellent venue! I've been going for 10+ years now! Never disappoints! Excellent food, drinks & service! :)
