About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Romantic
  • Great for happy hour
Take the express elevator and be transported to a rooftop garden oasis.

Upstairs overwhelms the senses at every turn. Take the express elevator from the street level and be transported to a breathtaking urban oasis thirty stories above Manhattan. Living green walls cascade down bronze panels framing the surrounding cityscape from every possible angle.

A perfect view of the iconic Chrysler Building is the star of the show. The lighting design interprets a fresh spin on old Hollywood glamour incorporating vintage theatrical lights and strings of edison bulbs that float overhead emitting an intimate, sensual mood. Deliberately shying away from outdoor lounge-style furniture typical of most rooftop bars as of late, Upstairs’ furniture was carefully curated from renowned houses such as B&B Italia, Knoll and Moooi. Clean lines and elegant form at once seem hyper-modern and neo-gothic, inviting guests to relax and unwind in an environment that exemplifies subtle, urban sophistication.

    Crowd was older and dull. Not a vibe. Low energy.

    Really cool vibe and atmosphere. Good food and drinks. Wait staff is inconsistent in regards to how courteous they are toward customers. But overall, would recommend this spot.

    Booked Easter brunch. Lovely space. Friendly service. Good food. Smaller size portions. Wish they had an omelette option.

    The food and atmosphere were phenomenal! Although one of our servers was very rude and purposely took extra long to bring us our check which was frustrating as we were on a time crunch to see a show.

    We made reservations and thought it would be convenient to go grab dinner before our show. (We are staying at the Kimberly Hotel) Being on a schedule, this reservation was vital. When checking in at the restaurant, we were told that no tables were available and that we were welcome to sit outside and wait. Another family who also had a reservation was told the same thing. It was a bit windy out, so we went back inside. We did speak to the manager and he was able to seat us, but we felt rushed because at this point we only had about 30 minutes to even eat a cheese plate and drink a cocktail ( which tasted horrible) This experience wasn't great and we were late getting to our show because of this experience. All around, I don't recommend this one.

    The perfect spot for a business drink on a Monday night. Enough people to give it a vibe. Quiet enough for a conversation. Short but adequate wine menu, great cocktails. Didn’t try the food but it looked good. Nice view for out of towners.
