The entire space is enclosed which may be missed from looking at the pictures. We had a cocktail which did not hold up with the expectation the hotel and bar create, they tasted lack luster.
The credit card was overcharged by 2 dollars despite 18% tip which I don’t think was a mistake.

The Upstairs rooftop bar offers a delightful morning experience with its inviting ambiance. Nestled atop the cityscape, it provides great views of the Chrysler Building. The morning buffet is one of the best around, boasting a diverse selection of freshly prepared dishes to suit every palate. The highlight of the buffet is unfortunately the made-to-order omelet station, where guests can customize their eggs with an array of fillings and toppings.
Moreover, the attentive and friendly staff ensure that guests are well taken care of, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience. The venue works both for enjoying a leisurely breakfast with friends or starting the day on a high note with colleagues.
As night falls, the Upstairs transforms into a vibrant bar. The bar exudes sophistication with its chic decor, and ambient lighting. A selection of handcrafted cocktails that mix the standard recipes reliably. Make sure to make reservations in advance, as the place is in high damned, and with relatively narrow space.
With its impeccable service, stunning views, and vibrant atmosphere, the Upstairs rooftop bar is the perfect destination for those seeking to unwind after a long day or celebrate a special occasion in style. It's a testament to the city's cosmopolitan charm and a must-visit hotspot for any nocturnal adventurer.

Came here two nights on holiday. It’s such a lovely, positive and friendly vibe- both in terms of the customers and the barstaff. The bartender also remembered me and my girlfriend on the second night, giving me a fist bump and my girlfriend a wave as soon as we came in. He even poured me a free shot when I bought my second drink of the night.
The drinks they serve are also pleasantly strong… never like it when I can hardly taste the alcohol in my drink.
It’s a dollar to request a song to sing.

This is one of my favorite rooftops. The food, drinks, and service are always great. Highly recommend.
Upstairs is located in The Kimberly Hotel. Upon entry The Kimberly is a show stopper. The lobby is immaculate & smells amazing. When you take the elevator to the penthouse you’re greeted by polite, beautiful servers & hostess. Like seriously they must hire aspiring models only. The view is beautiful on a lovely day. The weather was just perfect for this rooftop bar. We order a French 75, Mimosa, Lobster Roll & Truffle Flatbread. The Truffle flatbread was amazing and the arugula gave it a tangy kick. The fries on the lobster rolls were pretty good. Perfectly salted. The lobster rolls were tasty. They werent stingy with the lobster either. Definitely would recommend and return.
What a fun place. People dancing or chatting or whatever. Really good and strong drinks with a very fun atmosphere. Went on a Thursday nights and they had a DJ with great music mixes too. Almost forgot to mention the views. The inside heated area with the glass enclosure was gorgeous and could go outside with the heated balcony with beautiful roof views.
This place was pretty great all around. Promptly seated at arrival (a little before reservation time.) Views are pretty nice, especially of the Chrysler Building.
Nice selection of specialty cocktails which were good. Cheese board and coconut shrimp were very good as were the grilled lamb chops and chicken satay. Finished with chocolate lava cake which was also tasty.
Service overall was good, especially the busing staff.
DJ played a nice selection including some retro ‘80s and ‘90s, though volume could have been a drop lower.
Prices are to be expected ($22 for cocktails) but overall an enjoyable evening.

Oh I loved it here. Surprisingly it was my first time here, & definitely not the last. Phenomenal views , especially of the Chrysler building. Staff were patient & great. Ambience and atmosphere was beautiful. The espresso martini was done perfect. (pricey) but city wise and view wise understandable, & worth it. I got the pizza & it was delicious. Definitely recommend to make your way here. My Sunset and evening/ night was beautiful last night thanks to this place.
