Skyline Rooftop Bar & Lounge — Restaurant in New York

The view was nice, but was spoilt by the corporate sameness of the hotel, including the plastic plants and even dead bushes.

Nobody was clearing the tables when people left; and the staff weren't doing much behind the bar either − I couldn't believe how outrageously slow and incompetent they were. The woman saw me, casually started fiddling with some ice, then started fiddling with her phone, then finally wandered over to get me a beer, like isn't that odd, there's a person at the bar, I wonder what they're doing here?

The laminated beer list was incorrect and I couldn't drink out of a glass − only plastic cups.

The whole place was so soul-sucking. Someone heard it would be a good idea to have a bar on their roof, then just ran out...

It’s a scam. They gave me the total bill for 300$ (not the itemized one). I asked if I could have the itemized receipt. They said they couldn’t print it because it “was too long”. I got suspicious and they showed me the computer, where they told me how it adds to 300. After I explicitly asked for the pretax number I realized they added 20% tip already. You know, the kind that would have been in small letters on the itemized receipt, that they said they couldn’t give me. I thought I was generous for still wanting to leave 10% actual tip after this obvious move to get me to tip 20% on top of 20%, but they tried to convince that it was NYC law that I had to pay 20%. My credit card statement says 300 so let’s see...

The view is incredible but the service is abysmal. The girl with glasses working the bar was prob the worst bartender I’ve seen. She didn’t know anything available, everything in the coolers were pushed to the back with labels turned so you couldn’t see. The kegs were being changed at opening (which was 2pm, the hours are incorrect and it’s called Blu now) so they were still warm. There’s no menu or prices and we got two 16 Oz beers, one 12oz beer and a single gin and tonic and it came to EIGHTY SIX DOLLARS. We don’t even know if tip was included cause it wasn’t itemized. We went cause we were staying at the hotel but they could improve significantly with...
