This is the view you will have in the rooftop at night. I love the fact that this place has a separate floor for dancing (which is super cool) and then the rooftop. My only warning is that the drinks are really strong, you might get drunk just with few drinks. Be aware.
Horrible, racist, service at the door. We booked our tickets for the night before going and waited THREE HOURS in line only for the very rude staff to scrutinize our real IDs for obviously no reason. They accepted my vertical Texas ID as a white man as real but insisted my friend of Indian descent with a full horizontal New Jersey ID present her passport and passport alone as proof that her valid ID was real. Can’t think of a single reason other than racism for them to do that; maybe some kind of screwed up ego trip idk. The large Italian man at the gate threw a fit and kicked us out when I questioned his motives for this obvious stunt. Realized my credit card went missing after this a few minutes later, and when I came back to ask about it, the staff MOCKED and BERATED me over this and ignored my polite inquiry. I KNOW this is where I dropped it but they most have stolen it out of spite. By far the worst service I’ve ever received after going to hundreds of clubs across the country. Never felt this disrespected in my life. Normally I am the type of patron to give staff the benefit of the doubt and brush it off but these people are bullies and I hate that they get away with consistently arbitrary racist and cruel treatment of guests. Not worth treating them with your business
If youve ever seen Succession, this place feels like somewhere that Kendall Roy would do half an episode and embarrass himself. I saw this while on Little Island on a Wednesday night - it was hard to miss because there were lasers shooting out of the top of the building. We crossed the street and found the bouncers who make a big show of deciding if youre cool enough to be there. We took the elevator, and I wont lie - this place is cool. It was a fun place to look around for 20 minutes, but not my scene. With the pool and all I bet it gets wild on a Saturday, but not my scene. Seems a bit of a hang out for try-hards and social climbers. Maybe thats just my tax bracket talking. Worth a check out.
Spring is in the big Apple and rooftop bars are amazing ways to enjoy the nyc skyline! Le Bain is back in business! The Al Fresco option is fabulous! The indoor seating is well spread out. The food was just ok. The drinks were good. Pricey yes. The service was great. Our server was attentive and helpful but not Overly attentive. I definitely recommend this place before it gets busy again.
DON’T GO TO THIS PLACE! I was at the rooftop for 3h, spent a LOT of money there, once it closed they made us go out (didn’t even let us finish our drinks, literally kicked us out), we said we wanted to go to the nightclub, so they told us to go down and go to the line. We did. Then stayed in the line for 1h+ for them to be told we wouldn’t get in!Never felt so badly mistreated (prejudice?) in my entire life! I will NEVER go to this place or any Standard hotel in my life again!!!! Trust me, go anywhere else and you’ll be better treated
I was there on Friday 04/26.This was my first and last time.The girl at the entrance was by far the most impolite person I ever met ( Yes!)I mean the place looks good, but you have to work on who you hired because they are your public image and in this case shes doing you harm.Anyway, never again.
Nice view on NYC from the club! Cocktails are goods but served in plastic glasses 😬 Maybe sunday night is not the better time to get into it (music not really energetic) 🥱💁♀️😂
I had a bad experience. Why put up on RA guide you have a event but dont tell anyone its a guest invitation only. I waited in the cold for nothing. Im well dressed and funded. I guess I need to be white with tons of girls for you guys to take huh.
Good rooftop bar in NYC. Music was good but could have been better. Overall the vibes were fun and open. Would return especially in summer..
Great view - the worst lines. Jacuzzi Doesn’t look clean. After staying in line for 40 minutes - security said entree is not guaranteed due to capacity. Lack of organization makes it not worth it. But nice views for sure.
Nice rooftop with garbage people at the front door! I’ve been there many times, I understand you have selection rules blah blah! But if you aim to be an high class rooftop, do not reject people for no reason, the guys in front of us had 3 valid tickets to get in and they were rejected too.
Avoid this place. I made a reservation on the phone for 3 people at 10 pm. The receptionist on the phone said it would be a $69 minimum per person and to dress nicely. We showed up and a staff member who went by the name “V” claimed the following: “We don’t have that reservation. The Standard Hotel staff take those from a room in the basement and mess up all the time. We can probably squeeze you in, but we will have to sit you away from everyone because you don’t fit the vibe.” Apparently nice slacks, a business button down and dining jacket was not clubby enough for V. “Also, it will be $169 per person!” We were so insulted and embarrassed by the rudeness of V that we took our $ elsewhere. The sad part is that I used to come to this location for martinis and the amazing view a few years ago.
It pains me to give this place such a bad review, as the space is fantastic and the music is always great.However, the bartender that goes by Nica is a fraudster. I have tried to bring it to management’s attention and have received no reply. My credit card company has also reached out to management to no avail.Nica charged me for drinks that I did not want because she was overcharging me. I made it clear that I was not going to have the drinks, gave them back, and took both copies of the receipt. At some point, Nica reprinted the receipts and not only forged my signature, but had the gall to give herself a nice tip on top of some grossly overpriced drinks. I knew the drinks were overpriced because one of her colleagues served me the exact same beverages for $30 less.The fact that Nica so casually overcharged me, forged my signature, and gave herself more of my money on top of trying to scan me indicates that she does this regularly.I greatly enjoy Le Bain, but they need to do something about the people they employ that seemingly commit criminal acts during the course of their employment. Otherwise, they are asking to be sued.
Been here a bunch of times. Great views of the city especially during the sunsets but surely overpriced drinks [which probably is the case with a dozen other rooftops in the city]. Waiting time wasnt too bad since we got in before 5 on a Friday but it can get pretty noisy and crowded at the top so dont expect to hang out for a lot if youre in with a large group.Pro-tip: Seatings fairly limited on the roof-top but they do have a bar on the next floor downstairs where you can hangout with folks and its way less noisy over there.
The place is very well situated! The view is great and the decoration as well! But the drinks are very basic for the price...they don’t serve draft beer, only in cans ($10 each, without tips...but don’t worry the waiter will remind you that point)...and this rooftop is full of young student!
Worst service and security ever. I’ve travelled all around the world and I’ve never been treated so poorly. As hotel guests paying thousands of dollars, I would have expected to be treated with respect and not like someone who’s coming from the streets. They’re a joke. Don’t go.
I want to love this place but their bouncers and management are absolutely terrible. The bouncer broke my government issued id and they never return my calls to be compensated. Just wrong.
Great vibe, great view, a must to see if you are visiting NYC in the summer, they allow walk ins- except that you may have to leave your table for reservations if the time comes and they need the table
I love coming here for Susanne Bartcsh’s weekly party it’s always a blast 💥 🚬 💊 and Brandon Olson always hooks us up in the bathroom stalls 💥 🤯 🙌 ❤️ the only thing is the rude manager who expects everyone to move from where they’re sitting so he could sit down and will get security to remove you 🙄 wish he’d be replaced but other than that this is the party place to be if you know what I mean 🥰
Good view VS. worst customer service — you choose.So, it was my friend’s birthday party. We called them a week before to make a reservation and was only told that they do NOT take any reservation. We walked in and 9 girls were able to get in. But three guy friends were rejected saying it’s only for “invited guests.” We argued that a big group of friends are already up there.This male manager or whoever he was said, “who doesnt make a reservation for a big group? I don’t know where you guys are from (We were a bunch of Asian Americans/Asians). You need to make a reservation.”It was the worst rooftop experience. We calmly explained our situation that we tried to make a reservation prior to the arrival several times. But the guy treated his customer poorly. We would not have stayed there unless other friends were inside already.The view was great. But I don’t think I would go back to this rooftop when there are so many other great rooftops in Manhattan.
Lovely spot, a rooftop bar with an amazing view & nice seatings. We spent the afternoon hours there and enjoyed it very much. You can find a nice spot on the mattress seats and look at the amazing view. Note that the best place is one floor higher, above the jacuzzi bar.
Beautiful place but the bouncer tonight was so condescending and very unpleasant. No class for such a nice place.
I would have given 5/5 except it was REALLY difficult to leave. There was a huge bottleneck of people trying to take the single elevator out of the bar and things got stressful and tense when jerks started brazenly cutting the line
Not sure why any reviews would be lower than five stars. Access is easy and free. Drinks are well priced for Manhattan rooftops. View is outstanding.
Love this club!Great views from both floors! Main floor with groovy music and a jacuzzi right under a giant disco ball. ^_^ Top floor is a real open air rooftop with its own bar (smoking allowed).Drinks are strong, stuff very friendly.Lots of great foto opportunities ;-)Easy to get in even on a saturday (before 11pm).
Plan to wait 45 minutes on your way in AND on your way out. Not to mention the 22 minutes it takes for some 12 year old to make your vodka soda. Good views, typically good music, but the staff at entry has never seen a line before and honestly it shows…
I live this place! It has one of the best views of the island of Manhattan. You can see from Jersey to Brooklyn, and enjoy it is one of the funnest bars in town. The music is always good and the crowd is always fashionable. That being said, they are a little steep with their drink prices. If you can,make sure to catch the sunset here!
I dont get the hype to be honest. Its good, and thats all.The day I was there the music was basically the same all the time, not a good electronic music selection though.
Always a great vibe and it has the best view of the city. The deep house music is everything.
Very cool rooftop bar with a great view of downtown manhattan and surrounding areas. The music is good. The seating arrangements are great for large and small groups. The drinks were good too.
One of the best spots in the city, no doubt. One of the best things about it is that you can enjoy it at almost any time of the day. You can sit in the rooftop’s lounges and have a drink while you enjoy the amazing view, dance at the bar, and eat the best crepes in nyc all in one place (the toasted marshmallow with milk chocolate and nutella is heavenly). The place offers a great view of the city, nice drinks, and great electronic-type music. A very cool place overall
Only straggot social climbers, FiDi white collar workers, and plastic nobodies with 500k+ followers on social media go here. Run away. Elitist and tries way too hard to be something it isn’t. The doormen are paid to perform their stupid bit to intimidate guests. Enjoy good music and a great crowd most other places in Brooklyn or Queens instead.
WARNING: STOLEN ITEMS IN PRIVATE CLUB. Stolen Items with no follow through from security. If I could give this place a zero, I would. I went to a hosted event on Thanksgiving night and sat at a table. I was wearing a rather expensive light coat, which I took off and put on the couch I was sitting on. A few moments later, the coat has been grabbed and stolen. I continued to let security know, who said nothing had been turned in and that is was it was my problem. Security then told me to come back to talk to the manager to look at the cameras. When I went back to speak to management, they were completely negligent and rude in trying to help out. Security management was trying to blame me for the coat being stolen by telling me I shouldn’t have brought it. They went back on their word and would not help in any way find the culprit of stolen property. Instead, they blame patrons and are prepotent with the little authority they have. These people need training in proper investigation and hospitality. The quality of this place continues to falter. I will be warning all my friends and will never be returning to this place again. I suggest you don’t either, and if you do, DO NOT dress your best or bring valuables. Pure incompetence.
Positively surprised! We went there at 6pm on Sunday on a beautiful warm evening. It seems like to be the perfect timing: no wait time to get in there plus perfect viewing point of the sunset. Music was really good, felt just right. We got two Jim Beams with Coke for, I think $24 total. The pool/jacuzzi looked actually clean and very tempting. Very Good NYC rooftop experience overall.
Cool first time experience. I definitely recommend dressing up in order to get in. Make sure you are 21+ as well. During the day, they play house music and there are lots of cool vibes here.Since I was visiting nyc, I arrived on a weekday and attenddd this rooftop bar around 2pm, which gave me ample time to find an unattended area to chill and drink my cocktail 😀
Has the absolute most potential to kill it as the bew 54 but gets caught up in arbitrary bs. I was. In the club with my sport coat and accompanied some friends back down in the lobby, and was kicked out for my coat. Their rules are stupid and ony enforced to get $$$
The bouncer at the door was so rude and rolled his eyes because we didn’t know if the entrance was correct or if we were in the wrong place. The girl at the coat check was so nice. Go up to the bar and was ignored by 2 of the 3 bartenders that continuously walked by us. It is a Sunday night and the place wasn’t busy at all. Maybe the most pretentious environment I’ve ever been in. We both decided to leave because the energy was so snobby and uncomfortable. One of the worst experiences I’ve had in a business in a long time.
Great rooftop bar with amazing views of Manhattan. We went at around 7pm on a Sunday night and there was no queue but slowly got busier so I’d bare that in mind if you only want one or two casual drinks. Prices were around €15 for a cocktail.
Always a good time - one of the best views in my opinion. During summer days they have a small crepe spot on the roof! Not the best crepes, but still somewhat satisfying haha.
Very good views and nice cocktails. Took a little while to be served. I would book a table but the sunset was well worth it
Best spot to party, service is very friendly and theres no cover! Cocktails on the high range (18$ for a mule)
I liked it here. Great views of all over... midtown, financial district and jersey city. Great music. Good pours on the drinks. Prices were normal. No complaints. This is what i would expect if i were to go to a roof time club in NYC. No egregious cover. I would return when i was back in the area!
Queue was ridiculous long, so many Huns in heels - you dont need to wear them. Let me in with my Irish ID which is handy so I didnt have to bring out my passport. The club is cool with a MASSIVE horse, cocktails are $14 and overrated. Queues were ridiculous for the bathroom too ugh. The music was good, décor was sick though! The VIEWS MAN THE VIEWS, worth going and didnt have to pay in. Just go for a night
Gorgeous views and chill vibes that gradually turn into dance time (unsullied by the typical lewd radio radio hits)? I approve! Especially as someone who usually hates the usual club scene. I felt swanky in a lounge like this. My only regret was I didnt get to try the crepes... theres always next time. A group of 5 of us trekked through the biting cold and over some mild cobblestone (in heels!) to get to this beautiful orange beacon beckoning us to the lounge.Im always happy when places do not have a cover charge since its such a buzz kill especially if you want to hit up more than one location in a night. When we arrived a bit past 9PM and there wasnt an infamous line yet thankfully. Unlike when we left at 12:30am and people were waiting outside in the cold for enough people to leave to get in. We arrived to see only a couple seats by the window open and quickly snagged them. I agree that the drinks are pricey, but seems to match the overall ambiance. They offer bottle service and give preference to larger groups who order this option for seating at the couches. I think our group was displaced at some point, but we quickly found another set of couches that werent overtaken by people with more disposable income than us. We had no desire to torture ourselves and actually go outside on the rooftop but I imagine that would be a much more tempting option in the warmer months. I can just picture watching the sun set over the water with the picturesque cityscape in the background. We just enjoyed the view shielded from the harsh winds behind the glass. The bathroom is not really well labeled but its down a flight of stairs with interesting graffiti type artwork. Also did I mention its unisex?As the night continued on and the more mature crowd trickled out, we noticed that they subtly changed the music from relaxing background beats to songs with faster beats encouraging people to dance. They even revealed the giant disco ball! We witnessed a lot of fun and great dancing. I even attempted to dance a bit myself, but I really have no rhythm. I also enjoyed that I never felt like I was shouting to talk to my friends and the next day I thankfully did not have the sore throat syndrome. I cant wait to come back in the warmer months to check out the roof top deck and when they bring out the hot tubs.
Amazing sunset! Free to go inside, drinks just as expensive as any other rooftop or nice bar in Manhattan, beautiful people and great atmosphere! Super recommend
One of my favourite spot to have a night out. Enjoy the openair space upstair. The view is amazing and the music selection is great with the best djs in the city...make sure to check the events!
Absolutely perfection. Staff is not that bad as stated before..actually had a really funny interaction with one of the bouncers who made my night with his relaxed humor. The drinks are strong and not expensive at all..no cover on a friday night!? Le Bain you are the best club in NYC.P.s. my girlfriend and i are hotter than you betchhh 😘
I would give it -inf stars. Waited for an hour on a Saturday night in line only to be told right at the entrance that the event is invite only. They didnt even post anything anywhere. I never write reviews, but please try to spare your nice evenings of this negative energy.
Pricey, but it’s definitely a scene, day or night. Great views!
Gave a BS excuse to not let us in. Probably racist. Had more girls in the group than guys. Wack place
Ok let’s start with the positives: good drinks (strong & tasty) and beautiful view. That’s where it ends.From start to finish this place is a let down. You enter and are left to find the way to the elevator and come up to the bar. Asked for a menu and the bartender says “they should have given you one” - uhh ok? But they didn’t. So then we continue up to the rooftop to our table. Poor table service, no one coming around asking for drinks till the end of the night. Then they started flipping the cushions we were sitting on because it was raining - weird but fine. When we go to leave, the elevator doesn’t come for like 15 - 20 min. It seems like a run down, worn out and mean place. I didn’t feel welcome here at all. They are just riding on their name and view.
A great place for a fashionable crowd and good House Music most of the time, Le Bain has become a bit of a NYC standard, no pun intended. Go when the weather is nice and enjoy breathtaking views of the city. Drinks can be a bit pricey but its a NYC Club in 2021, thats what you are in for pretty much everywhere in Manhattan. At least here youll get nights with true house legends like Tony Humphries or Danny Krivit on the decks. Susanne Bartsch parties are colorful and amazing as well.
This guys told as ($500 each Persons )I was ready to pay table but he was disrespectful and racist I was going to pay but he never listen to us I don’t know why they doing like this I’m not recommend this place doesn’t care the people they are acting to people like an animal
Made a reservation for a large group of people (over 20), and they decided to tell us only 4 hours before our reservation that the kitchen was closed. On the phone, they did not want to accommodate in any way, shape, or form. There are so many other places in manhattan that are better in terms of customer service AND atmosphere. The hype is not worth it.
What can you say? Its Le Bain. We came here with like 30-40 people and the staff was incredible.All cocktails (as of the date of review) were priced at $16, which is pretty awesome for NYC rooftop standards, especially post Covid price hike. Whats more a cocktail pitcher costs $65, and serves around 5-6.Views were awesome - With essentially unobstructed 360 vantage points, Le Bain will not disappoint!
Awesomeeeee place,amazing view,great music!I’m sorry to hear about the bad experiences other people had here and the “Racism or Classism”discrimination they’ve experienced but I can only talk about my experience here! And I’ve been here twice and I’ve been treated super nice by everyone!.
The view is the only thing they really have and there are plenty of rooftops in NYC that have better ones. The drinks are weak and over priced. The staff is rude. They didn’t accommodate my reservation and canceled it same day for a party of 8, said to come in as a walk in and then we couldn’t sit anywhere because everyone else had a reservation. The music sucked too. I didn’t try to food because the kitchen was closed already.
Great space, but music needs work. Not sure if the theme last night was fetish, but some dark circuit energy for sure.
Had a really good time, we arrived early 9:30 pm, we didnt have to wait in line and got in right away (saw a long line later that night). Amazing view, good music, tub was cold :/ (the only disappointment).
The worst place that I’ve ever been to. Very rude staff that make you wait in line in hours to turn you down after l. Night waisted. Never come here
Two Long Island iced teas were nearly $50 but I guess that’s NYC for you. Cool view and atmosphere.
The WORST. A long line but nobody inside. I highly recommend you do not waste your time.
Went early got to see the sunset views of the financial district and empire state. Nice to take in the sun and views
Very disrespectful bouncers. They reject people at the entrance for no reason. First and last time there. Just a waste of time.
Great views. Drinks are pricey for what they are but if there’s a good DJ, it’s worth it. Bathrooms are very clean.
If I could give this place zero I would. The staff was extremely rude when asked simple questions. A group of us came here to celebrate a birthday and in the end the night ended horribly. The stairs and floor was extremely sticking and wet causing falls left and right. (And no, no one was drunk.) The drinks are way over priced and not worth the money. Only plus about this place is the view. Will not recommend this place or go back.
I’ve traveled to many counties but I’ve never seen such rude staff. Never come here
The worth staff attitude I have seen in a while. Didnt let me in, even though my friends were right there, because they will close in an hour. The other parties, who knew the security guy had no problem entering thought.
Overpriced, Overcrowded, Music too loud, not enough space for dancing!EXACTLY HOW YOU WANT YOUR NIGHT CLUB TO BE!The view is spectacular, Tuesday has been Suzanne Bartsch for 10+ years and Im still going! Thank you to the whole team!
Highly overrated. $65 pitchers but they’re strong af. Only way to go here imo. Crowd is awful and lines are insane. Much better rooftops for a fraction of the price out there. Randolphs in brooklyn is way better.
Horrible experience. We had reservations for 6:30 on the rooftop and we ended up waiting in a line for 30 minutes with other people who also hqd reservations. Once we got in, we were seated not on the rooftop, but instead inside in the bar. We ordered the worst cocktail shrimp Ive ever eaten. They were rubbery and tasted off. We both felt sick after, probably from the shrimp.
My daughter had excitedly reserved her birthday celebrations with Le Bain a month in advance. Four days before the event she received a cancellation notice with no explanation. When I called Le Bain, I was told that they just had a private event booked (basically more money) so they arbitrarily cancelled existing confirmed reservations.Needless to say it was very upsetting and highly unprofessional. When I asked to speak with the managers (Michou and Andrew) I was told they would get back to me. Despite multiple calls and emails I received no response so they lied.I cannot say much about the place since I never made it there. What I can say is that if you have a confirmed reservation, dont count on it. You may get cancelled just because someone paid more money at the last minute.I have filed a complaint against them under unfair business practices with the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs:Record 11461-2021-CMPL:ComplaintRecord Status: SubmittedGood luck to all and hope this review is helpful.
Music was great special dj rich Medina was awesome place didn’t have ventilation very poor too many people was it not to have a good air conditioning working on high speed. They can’t be that cheap they make the money especially at the bar
Amazing place&staff!! Love the view and sunset from there. Great music&drinks
Fabulous club, with an amazing skyline view up on the roof top which also includes a juquzi
Waited an hour to get in with no notice. Denied at the front of the line along with most people waiting for not being in the guest list
Just got to Le Bain for Suzanne’s on top party. Firstly they made me wai 6 minutes for the lift to come and then as soon as I came in I was shooting a live video for my 90k fans so I grabbed this electric light and held the light up to my face as it’s so dark up here I was trying to tell my fans where I was and then this guy (African American guy (maybe a manager) with an ear piece and Walky talky tells me not to touch the light and I said ”I can’t see”. He says don’t touch it. So you know what I did, I deleted the video. Rude and disrespectful. Grow up it’s a plastic light. Suzanne I’m sorry but I won’t come here if I’m gonna be treated this way. Love your work xx
We had a blast here, the hotel is in a great location, the roof top (le bain) had a great vibe but most important was the people that work there .. We want to thank Harry Edwards the night manager because he did a beyond amazing job ! We will be back for sure.
Great place if you want to pay a lot for awful drinks and then be hited by security with no reason. Nice view like any rooftop in NYC, but staff... violent security guys and amateur bartenders
We had been at Le Bain for 5 minutes before the bathroom attendant/security guard called my cousin and I the N word. At that point we tried to leave and he stopped us from doing so just so he could aggressively and forcefully kick us out himself. I called the venue to let them know. They never returned my calls or emails. We were utterly disgusted and disappointed but luckily I recorded it all so stay tuned...
Security is aggressive and terrible. I was walking down to the bathroom and security drop kicked me down the stairs and told me to move. This really needs to be looked at. Your clients shouldn’t be treated like animals in a zoo. After I fell he went and told a friend on the next level down and laughed about it. BE CAREFUL WITH SECURITY THEY ARE DISRESPECTFUL.
Great bar with breathtaking views and comfortable seating BUT the security threatened to knock me out because I was leaning into the dj Pult to get my a charger. Obviously I asked the Djane before and she allowed me to charge it earlier. So I did at a later point again and he ran up to me screamed at me in front of my friends and threatened me. We spent a lot of money that night and no business should treat customers like that. The other staff members were super nice but if that guy will continue working there I wont spend a dime there ever again.
Good club vibe and music . Manhattan bar prices !!
Place was super cool! 2 floors make it awesome to choose where you want to hang out with different music options.There is a small jacuzzis/pool in the main room that outlooks over the city. The upper floor is 1/2 outdoors with an amazing view. Drinks were reasonable for the style of place. Staff were friendly and nice.You have to take an elevator up and down to the club, this can be funny. The elevator operator was playing music, on our way down a bunch of us(all strangers) just started singing and laughing, great time :)Will definitely return next time I am in NYC!
If you want a real Manhattan night club experience then indulge yourself in this little rooftop gem. Le Bain offers One of the best dance music experiences in NYC nothing but a good time and is downright beautiful
Besides the dope views, drinks and the aura in general is great. Aesthetics are on point and music is chill.
Astonishing view, nice place at the rooftop. Good for quick drinks to see the view, as You can just take any seat at the rooftop and drinks from the bar.
I really liked this place. We got in around 11 and there was a short queue to get in. The place has two floors- the first one is a club with a pool inside while the second is their rooftop bar. The club was empty when we got in since everyone was on the roof. This place has some ridiculous views overlooking the Hudson. The drinks are a bit pricey but really nice. The crowd is really fun. Definitely coming back!
Horrible staff. They will make you wait for hours in line and wont let you in because your not in in the list that doesn’t exist. Horrible place
Awful place!! Super rude staff starting from the bouncers and finishing with the bartenders! They are always aggressive and arrogant! The venue itself is nice, but everything is so expensive and its always overcrowded. The mixed drinks and cocktails are nothing special. Overall I dont recommend this place, there are way better options for a nice rooftop/nightclub experience around!
The only good thing of this place is the view. The servers are a bit unfriendly. I really think is a bit overrated, it could be awesome if they detail the place a bit better.
Nice rooftop, good cocktails, amazing view
I arrived there around 10:30PM and they had a line outside but it moved really quickly. Im not sure how they decide which group or couple can get in or not but I guess it is safe to go there with group of girls ;)I went there in the mid April. They close their pool and roof top bar was closed too. You can still go upstairs to see the view.The view was good and drink price was decent (normal rooftop bar price).The only part I really hated was coat check and elevator hall area. The space is so tiny and it is packed with both people coming in and leaving. Plus, coat check person said I cannot bring a bag with me but the person next to me was allowed to bring in even though our bags were same size... No idea what is going on. Guess just go there for view and dont expect anything else lol
I visited for the first time on August 16. We were a party of 5 celebrating a wedding. We arrived around 3:30 in the afternoon and had no trouble going in. There was a lack of communication as to whether the enclosed bar was open or not so we went upstairs and asked for a place to sit. They accommodated us and provided a nice shaded area and brought us a menu. We let the cocktail server know we were celebrating, made small talk and told us she’d be back. She didn’t come back. No one did. So we went to the bar and were asked if we were ready. We ordered 2 bottles of wine and they brought them to us. No one checked in us when we wanted more. We returned to the bar. Ordered beer and shots, we had to bring them to our seats. We returned to the bar and ordered another bottle of wine and the cocktail waitress brought it to us but didn’t open it. As she walked away I asked if she would open the bottle and she didn’t know how... it was a pop top bottle of wine and she didn’t know how to pop it open. A lady working there, wearing all black approached us and opened the bottle. Again, no one checked on us or asked if we wanted more drinks. We decided to leave and upon asked for my check. I was handed my card and the signature copies but not an itemized receipt. I immediately thought I was overcharged so I asked for the itemized receipt and saw gratuity had been included but I wasn’t told. It felt underhanded of their staff to do that. If you’re going to charge a premium for your product. You have to back it up with excellent guest service and that immensely fell short. Nice place for views but don’t hold your breath on getting adequate service.
Loved the music on Friday night, good vibe, free entrance
Enjoy this club’s rooftop and the people watching is stellar. The people who hop in the pool during a dance session are usually quite entertaining. Can’t beat the clash of personalities from the awkward New Yorker to the extrovert with substances in their system; great free entertainment!
The worst place ever!!Went there on a Saturday night. Waited for 1hr in the line to get in. But as soon as we reached the door, the door staff who were absolutely mean, disrespectful, arrogant asked us to step out of the line because we did not know the name of the DJ who was playing or were not on guest list.
I go here when I know the DJs that will be spinning. Never been disappointed & I like the rooftop
How can you beat beautiful views and people, no cover, with crepes, and a pool next to the dance floor? It was a decadent, opulent experience with decent music, mostly polite well-dressed clientele, excellent security, efficiently run bathrooms and towels for all of those who took a dip. The views are as amazing as all of the reviews state, and I had one of my best party nights when I came here, even though I came by myself.
Overpriced drinks, great views, but do not attempt to go if theres a wait outside. Its really not worth it. The people who control the line are rude and unprofessional (see more below).Waited 1 hour in line. When I arrived at the door, they switched the status of our line from general admission to invite only. The bouncers (Hunter and Steve) laughed at our faces as if it were a joke. I get its a popular bar, albeit overpriced -- and if you get up top the view is amazing (Ive been several times before) -- but the experience of trying to just get inside really isnt worth it. I hope this place hires new people to control the queue outside. It really can ruin your night. Shameful.
Staff at the front was extremely nice and friendly. I wouldn’t pay attention to the racism accusations in other reviews. Plenty of diversity in the crowd and the staff.Incredible view, reasonably priced drinks compared to other rooftop bars, fun atmosphere, and clean bathrooms. Exactly what we were hoping for and more
The views were the best part, other than that so many reviews mention the same issues that I faced that I just dont feel like typing it again
This was my go to place a few summers ago. The view is absolutely gorgeous especially at night and its lovely sitting outside on the terrace enjoying a drink and chitchatting with the other patrons. The crowd that Le Bain draws (in my experience) is fun, always open to chatting with strangers and understands that you, too, want to take a picture of this incredible city. It is a bit hard to get drinks as the night continues but there are a few bars that you can go to.
Horrible place. Very rude staff that make you wait in line for hours toTurn you down
At least one person could be kind (reason for 2 stars) but there’s a lack of communication and they will let you stand in line for any amount of time when they KNOW they are not going to let you inside whether you aren’t on the list to enter or for any other reason (they wont tell you before getting into line that you have to be on a list to enter). Not very friendly / reasonable
Went there several times. Its decent, music, view are good plus you can smoke on the rooftop. However this place has the worst bouncers staff Ive ever seen. If you are not a hot girl, just give up. Youll just queue forever until this piece of pretentious gay asian staff asks you if you have an invitation and will point to the exit even before you answer. Not even a sorry. Never bringing them girls ever again, thats for sure.
It is a very nice place with a great view!
Great views on high floor. Nice furniture and dance floor. DJ was ok.
Not my favorite night club in NYC. Drinks are quite expensive for what they are, not really good and they are served in plastic cups! Not to mention there are a lot of drunk students too. The view is great and have good music but not sure Id go back.
The place has really great views of Manhattan skyline. The music can be good sometimes but if its hard to find good music at this place! Overall its a fun experience, the drinks are fairly priced for the area!
Most of the reviews complain about the bouncers — if they make the “its invite only” excuse, that’s their way of telling you that you didn’t get in. I can’t exactly figure out the perfect way to actually gain entrance as I’ve been denied myself plenty of times as well, but generally, having a group of 1 or 2 gay men + a bunch of beautiful ladies usually works pretty well. Definitely draws a pretty young crowd.
Great atmosphere. Great vibe. Awesome rooftop. Definitely a must for people to go. But the DJ was not that great. Played the same “techno” music all day. Never switches up to different genre music and doesn’t cater to the audience. Need a DJ that plays diverse music as well.
Helpful hints:1. View is amazing, you can see the skyline through their glass windows.2. Theres a roof top too, which is beautiful as well3. But the Music is not that great because they play more of original instrumental rave remixes & not popular songs that people dance on.4. There is a Jacuzzi in the Club.
If you are fan of overcrewded and overhyped rooftop bars with a nice view that bar is probably for you! In my experience the drinks are overpriced and watered! The bouncers and the staff in general are extremly rude and aggressive! The venue itself is really good with nice view, the restrooms are nice and clean with nice view aswell, but the managment of this place is terrible! Those bouncers have to be fired!
Incredibly beautiful location with a good case for being the best rooftop bar in the city! Very cold in the winter time on the patio but the view is to die for so get out there! Drinks are understandably expensive.
Love the bar, bartenders, door people, scene all of it. However, whoever was the pos elevator guy at 2am who prides himself on running the elevator so slowly to let people leave when it works for him (and doesn’t give a F because he’s new) learn your business. This is the last impressions you’re leaving on an otherwise great place with great people.
Hen dos, bros, teenagers, rude and unhelpful staff at the door. A relic of a bygone era.
The most spectacular view of Downtown Manhattan and jersey.
Its OK. You wait for an hour to get it (unless you are a group of girls in very provocative clothes) which is the major downside. Then there is this annoying elevator you have to wait and stuff yourself in with many other people (I wish there were stairs one could use... ). The music and the service are decent, the rooftop and the crepes there are great, the view is amazing of course. The pool does not make any sense, I hope they remove it soon, it smells so strange. Overall, if youre looking for a night of fun dancing, there are better and more-happening spots.
This is the worst late night bar I’ve ever been to. The music is the bad, the vibes are bad, the cups are bad. It’s a smoky dance floor filled with people that don’t want to be there. The views are probably nice during the day, but once the sun sets I wouldn’t suggest stepping foot in this place. Drinks are okay and average price.
I had one of the best experiences here in my entire life. I came here December of 2018 when the bottom half of the hotel was going through major renovation.During this time of the year there were tons of Christmas trees around. While my friend & Fiancé were taking pictures. I was looking for a place to go to the bathroom. I found a dark stairway that eventually led to a cracked door. I opened the door, & on the other side was a hallway. I noticed a bathroom, but I wasn’t ready for what was on the other side. I walked into two toilet seats with no dividers that were fully marble on marble floor. There was a glass window from the ceiling to the floor that had a view of the city to enjoy while I sat to take care of business. As soon as I finished I dashed back down to let the others know my findings. They were astonished. So we kept exploring the hotel only to find the elevators were inactive without a room key. As we tried to exit we heard noises that sounded like a cleaning crew coming towards us. We came face to face with an employee. He said “What are you guys doing” we replied “trying to leave”. “Follow me & at the end of this hallway there is an elevator to the main entrance” he said. He walked away as we stepped through the hallway we could see the elevator down the hall. We noticed a door girl to the left also with faint music in the depths of the walls. I told my group “hey were already getting kicked out, why not try to get in the club?” My fiancé walked up to the door girl & asked “Is this the entrance in?” The door girl replied “yes, let me let you guys in”. As she opened the door a burst of music hit us!! Dim lights, great loud music with no words just house music, 360 views of the entire city from the inside, rooftop 10ft glass walls for another awesome view.I will never forget the moment I had here. Also I’ll always be curious where to find the nearest bathroom because you never know what you’ll find 😉
Strong drinks, chill vibe, not too many people, great club/lounge hybrid. Beautiful view of the skyline. No cover when I went. The crowd is stylish and open. Would definitely visit again
They have no concept of time. Google says they’re open 4am to 4pm on Friday so you go in at 9 pm and then they close the place when you’re inside and your date gets stuck outside for an hour until they reopen. It’s not even an occupancy thing, they’re just weird. Plan accordingly.
One of the cooler bars I’ve been to in New York. Great views (even in the bathroom). Atmosphere and rooftop are really sweet. Haven’t been there during the day yet but hear it’s a must for day drinking.
Ive been taking friends who visit from out of town to LeBain. Its a fun time especially in groups. The music varies on the night. The pool is always fun and the view is great. Theres two levels so those definitely worth seeing. The crowd is mainly tourist, but its still a fun time. Drinks are good, but expect the average for a drink $20. Its one of the places you have to visit when youre in NYC.
This is the new meatpacking scene - men and women packing their meat into their new, chic, tight, fashion-forward designs and strutting across the roof of the Standard Hotel.The view is amazing and worth the visit but if youre like me and dont car for self-involved scenesters then i suggest coming at sunset when the wait is shorter and the space more plentiful.The bar, below the rooftop, with the pool, does not require you to drink. Youll get high from the chlorine fumes.
Tried to meet some friends there. They got in before us with no problem and without a reservation. After waiting in line, they told us we needed a reservation. Yet, they were letting others in without looking at any guest list. They were extremely rude. I have never been turned away from a bar like that. I understand that some clubs look for a certain criteria in their clientele. My wife and I easily meet that criteria. We spend a lot of money on entertainment in bars and nightclubs. Avoid this place and save yourself the frustration. They ruined out entire night because we couldnt get to out friends. Its not worth the taxi ride.
Great views, but it was kind of sad when I went on a Saturday night. Like the line was long but inside it felt a bit dead. It might just be the slow post pandemic recovery in clubs though.
Had a bad experience with the people at the front door here. Been to Le Bain many times without an issue (and yes its a nice rooftop and the employees up top are nice). However, last week an employee at the front door treated my friends and I poorly and fabricated a lie that the club during the afternoon and night was invite only. Ill be exploring other bars in NYC.
Nice spot but not the best rooftop bar in NYC. The music was cool though.
This is one of the best clubs in NYC! Had such a blast. Line was a bit long but it was worth the wait. The rooftop is really cool especially when it is like 100 degrees outside! highly recommend for a fun night out in NY
(I not have been to the restaurant or hotel. Only the rooftop lounge) Ive got a new favorite spot in New York City. Had 2 glasses of champagne with my girl ($40) on the rooftop. It was the best. Kind People, relaxed atmosphere, beautiful view and the champagne tasted great. I would recommend everyone to visit this place once youre in NYC.
This place is fun although not super classy. They make you make line outside like any posh club but then you get surprised that they do not have a dress code at all. Which is fine with me. I was visiting NYC last weekend and asked recommendations on fun clubs. We got there at 1am, and I saw that they did not let in large groups. However, a friend of mine told me that everything is easier if go early. But as always, I recommend that groups of guys try to mix with some girls in the line and large groups just divide. About drinks I liked that a glass of prosseco was $12, so not too expensive.
One of my favorite NYC rooftop lounges hands down. Great views of the city, great music, a laid back vibe, and plenty of space for indoor and outdoor fun. The drinks are great (try the pitchers!) and are standard ny price. This place is occasionally good for celebrity sightings if your into that.
Really great view, really great staff, food and drink was ok. Id say wait til you can make a res for outdoor (actual rooftop)
I originally was hesitant about visiting because of all the reviews about how hard it was to get in, but we were let right in. I will say I did hear them turn other groups away. We were dressed the part, though. I was super excited to go up to the rooftop because of the anticipation and build up of everyone being turned away. But the rooftop was semi unimpressive. 230 Fifth had a much better view, and gallow green was beautiful, so Id recommend those over Le Bain.
LOVE THIS PLACE!Great vibes, great crowd, great music and of course theres a hot tub you can jump into the middle of the club. Wanna dry off? Upstairs is this gorgeous open spaced roof top with a sight that will hold in your photographic memory forever. You want to come dressed nice, no sweats or things of that sort. It is New York City you want to always look your best.
Enclosed downstairs area with plenty of seating and a pool, nice views too. Rooftop was busier but people were sitting on the grass. House music is cool. Seems like a nice place to chill with friends, but drinks are a bit pricey for extended sessions.
Very nice place but the jacuzzi is currently closed.
What a beautiful place to watch a sunset! I went there around 6-7pm and enjoyed an evening of beautiful weather on this amazing rooftop lounge. The lounge has a pool in the middle that is not functional but make you feel like you are on the beach nonetheless. The floor has a grass carpet so you can take your shoes off and enjoy sitting on the lounge chairs with a drink, looking at the view over the river and enjoying the sunset. The drinks are pricy but worth it for the view! Will come back again and again.
Very rude stuff. Vaunted an hour in line and rejected entry
The bouncer is extremely rude. He didn’t look up once when we were speaking to him, and then stamped our arms like he was trying to break them. Very unprepared for the rooftop season. There’s no manager or host or any visible staff member on the floor. Cocktail server never brought water (after 7 reminders) and only got check after begging her to cash us out. We all live in Nyc and definitely will avoid this place
I would give 0 if I could .. nice view but very poor and bad management.. I was there yesterday. its 2 floors place. I was at the roof, second floor first. I got 2 cocktails and they were OK but not perfect. then I went to downstairs and asked the same cocktail and it was totally different and there was no alcohol in it. Kindly, I asked to bartender to change or add alcohol but he rejected in a very rude way (his name is Koi, I guess, pls do not tip him) I asked him to call the manager. One guy came with a hat, jean etc. very informal dressed guy, I explained the same thing to him but he rejected in a more rude way and he called the bodyguards even though I was so polite.. 2 bodyguards came who are only big guys physically but empty heads.. they were looking for trouble but again I was so polite .. I said to manager to change or refund my money, he said its impossible, it doesnt work like that etc. etc. If i insisted, the bodyguard would attack me, Im sure and I left the place .. Please do not go! expensive for nothing, there is no respect, they want to cheat you, thats all about this place! NYC is full of rooftops, you dont need this crooks! I will ask my journalist friend to write about them on the newspaper too!!
The other reviews are correct- staff at the entrance is racist and extremely rude. They will tell you entry is by-invitation only and refuse to let you enter if you dont look like what they want (mostly white). I confirmed with the hotel before going that is open to all, there is no invitation, and yet the rude staff did not let us in.
This place is overrated. Food is average; it doesnt mention in the menu that chicken is spicy. Drinks are okay, nothing special. But one thing is good, and it is the view.
Went out with my friends here the other day! The location itself is super nice (inside and up on the roof) and the drinks are good but what makes this place stand out to me is how nice the staff actually is for a night time scene. Everyone was super friendly!
I was recently here for a party on the rooftop. The view here is amazing, and enjoying it with a freshly made crepe isnt half-bad. The inside is on the small side - the likes of which I can only imagine crowded with people. But for the event with a smaller crowd, it was perfect.
I had called ahead a week prior to see if I could make reservations.. Unfortunately the girl toldMe we could only do that if we did bottle service. I had a group of people with me and we had all come from different places... Ma, ct, LI etc. we were all so excited after hearing such rave review from our friends. It just so happened it was also for my 24 bday. They had two lines going. We immediately were demanded to go to a different line while we watched other people get in easily in front of us. After waiting 30 min on the line we were up. An extremely rude man with long hair and glasses didnt even look at our IDs he asked how many people we were with. Said it was invite only and turned us down. While we gotPushed to the side of the line 10 people behind us with no invite got in. I didnt even hear him ask for an invite! I will never return back to this place. The way they treat everyone is so unprofessional. I do not care how upscale and popular your bar is that is not a way to treat people. I would never recommend this place to anyone after having the experience we did.
You have to be absolutely crazy to go into the pool here. However tourist galore spot, only come here for private events. Glad they got rid of the cat piss smell after all the years, how are cats even on the roof of this place lol ?! Overall views are tremendous for this iconic elephant of meat packing. Come here dressed to impress lots of people wait to be turned away, looking like grunge and frail. No worries, Irish pub right around the corner for ya folk. Cocktails can be a little on the light side depending whos tending.
One of my favorite rooftop venues in the city, from weekend daytime drinking to late night bar/club atmosphere the real jewel here is the sweeping views of the city. The bathrooms are cool too as they face the city and are floor to ceiling windows. There is also a pool / hot tub in the middle of the dance floor and the Crepe shack on the roof has one of the best assortments of crepes I have ever tasted.
I used to love Le Bain and was one of the places I recommended all my friends for quite a while but today was the final straw.Le Bain is pretty discriminative. They wont allow minorities in unless they are women. This has happened multiple times now. If I am by myself going waiting to join my friends (who are inside ) I will be turned away for the stupidest reasons. If I am with my white friends entry is not a problem. If I am with other minorities but they dont like the girl to boy ratio turned away. If I am with a group and there is only one white girl entry is not a problem.Today I was turned away because they were doing invitations only. They were okay with the folks before and after because they were white. On top of that my friends told me it was not even busy inside so not sure why the hate.For people who like places who like being turned away because the entry folks are on power trips or places that discriminate against minorities this is the perfect place. Or if you are a non minority woman.
Getting in the low class people working there make it very difficult getting in. Once getting in there is a cheap sticky nasty bar with a cheap looking dance floor. A nasty hot top in the closed in room. The rooftop has AMAZING views but is also not clean up there and the people there are just strange. Not sure why there is such hype for this club as there are pleanty better clubs. Try some where else
One of my favorite places to have a great time and dance the night away! The drinks could seem pricey for some but their taste and liquor is definitely worth it! The view is breathtaking!
The bouncers were incredibly rude to my friends and I for no apparent reason as we were not drunk or belligerent and tried to be as nice as possible. Our politeness meant nothing to the guy at the door arrogantly scolding us for not reserving ahead and acting like we tried to waltz into the nicest restaurant in Manhattan on a whim.
Have you ever sat on the toilet looking at Hudson river from a 20th floor, through a completely glass wall? You can do it here. People say you may have problems to get in, but we were a group of four boys and didnt have any problem. The views are amazing from every spot in the club and you shouldnt miss the rooftop as well. Entrance was free.
Recommend to visit their rooftop in summer. It’s great and pretty relax. Enjoy the view while lay on the sofa. Come early before 10pm if you want to find seats.
Been here twice, and though the views are great and the music is often good, the ‘door discretion’ is arbitrary and from what others say, shallow, and most probably racist. The doorman last night was extremely rude. He refused to look at my Eventbrite tickets for the Moodymann Detroit Love night (a few minutes after opening at 10:15pm, so they definitely weren’t at capacity) as they used ‘their’ list which my name wasn’t on. Hostile attitude and complete lack of decency. Spend your money elsewhere.
This establishment is racist and prejudiced plain and simple. As a person of color not only was I denied entry over some “private event,” (which in fact appears to be made up), I was demeaned and insulted by a person at the door. All I was trying to do was meet up with a friend inside; I said nothing aside from politely giving my friend’s name and was belittled and told to “get lost”. I’m not sure if the fellow at the door was employed by the club itself, but it disgusts me that an establishment can treat people this way or condone this kind of outrageous behavior in the 21st century. My recommendation: avoid at all costs, particularly if you care an ounce about social equality and inclusivity. This place will never have my business!!
Beautiful place, but with awful staff! And to be honest I dont want to be rasist, but this Chinese guy that he is supposed to be BOUNCER ruined the whole experience for the whole group! He was so aggresive and rude, we were group of 10 people and he did not let 2 of our friends to get in! So we immediately get out of this place! Weve been there few times and we had no problems at all! The price is overpriced and overcrowded with awful service! Definitely dont recommend this place, dont waste your time and money!
Beautiful spot. Wanted to enjoy with a few friends but they were quickly refused for no reason at all with the door staff claiming there was a large party so there was no space. Our party was of 18 people (12 were already inside) Plenty of space throughout both levels so the excuse made no sense in addition to the staff allowing others in that were not on the guest list that was being used as an excuse. Bad business sense to not allow 6 people in adding to the 12 who would have drank and spent money all night, as opposed to allowing individuals in to take a photo and allowing us All to leave. Spoilt what was lined us to be great day for a large group of people. Useless.
Rude and extremely racist staff. Its amazing that its almost 2020 and nobody is saying more about this.My husband and our friends were publicly belittled and humiliated at the entrance. We werent drunk or did not create a scene, we simply asked what this mysterious guest list that only applies to colored people came from.Never going near this place.
Awesome spot and amazing view. Come here during golden hour on a non-cloudy day, the sunsets here are amazing as the light comes in and bounces off from the bar and indoor pool, plus great light for a selfie. That or go out on the balcony to capture the city bathed in gold— honestly I just come for the views. As for the food, it’s expensive and ok, and the drinks are expensive but the experience makes it worth it.
Great view and vibes. High end roof top for a long night out.Sometimes the line outside can be annoying.
The lady at the entrance is completely rude and forgot that her only job is to be nice to customers. Speaking on a very rude tone, rolling her eyes together with the security guy, both convinced me never to come again as well as warn every single friend not to come to this place. And she also lied to us...too bad when you have a great place, but the wrong people at the front door. Hire new people who treat customers responsibly :)
If you are a straight couple DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING HERE!!!!! Stayed at the Standard during Pride Week. After having dinner my girlfriend and I decided to go here. After waiting on line the door man (Gay Asian guy with long hair) was extremely rude and stated that because it was Pride Week we would not be permitted up to the rooftop. TOTAL DISCRIMINATION because we are a straight couple. He was condescending and dismissive and wouldnt even make eye contact. I can not believe he still has a job. Horrible person and I hope he understands how real karma is. I will never go here ever again and i will never stay at the Standard again because of this experience.
You need to avoid this bar. I came from Dc to have a good time with a friends. We saw on resident adviser that they have some event. We came but door man was so rude, Asian guy, he was letting only people that he likes with excuse that you need to be on the list. He made that out even that wasnt on the Advisor page. Really bad review. We come to spend money and door man is the person who will destroy your night. Dont risk with this bar. Find some other bar....
This place is horrible went Sunday with my best friend and they didnt let us and the black trans guy hostest was so nasty to us. She looked ghetto and the staff did too. Do not even bother going. Unreal
Great atmosphere but pricey drinks
The day they will change their entry policies and facial not worth it recognition and finally the fact that a simple beer 12$ with 15-18% gratuity = 16 $ costs more than an appetizer. Come on, how come liquid with 5% of alcohol costs more than food. Its getting crazier for nothing. People still go there when you have way far better places to go. Dont be a pigeon consumer customer.
It has an amazing view! But kind of annoying with dress code , They told me and my friends we where low class !!
Honestly, the most overrated place in the area. Awful staff who think theyre apparently special for working here. Just a real snoozefest. Go literally anywhere else. If you look up cheugy, this place is the definition.
Cool place with amazing views. My husband and I were asked if we knew who the DJ was but noted we were visiting from Canada and they allowed us in. We did witness them turn away others in front of us but we got lucky. Chill fun vibe and would go back.
Beautiful! I wasnt here during the night, but I am sure the view is just as gorgeous as it is in the daytime. However, you dont have the sun melting your hair at night...but you also dont have the big crowd.Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was great because they let you sit anywhere you want, except for the reserved tables that have waiter/waitress service to bring you your drinks.They also sell crepes on the other corner opposite the bar.Great place to chill and catch up with some friends over some snacks and a mind-blowing view of the most beautiful city in the world (cough WOO NYC!) You arent demanded to order something, so one can just visit the view if he/she wants (probably just for a little bit though, they have staff circling around)Once you enter there is a pool..it was pretty interesting, but who will stand in a 4 feet tiny pool? Hahaha..awkward.
Place has a awesome view. Unfortunately the view is ruined by the rude staff. Went here dressed very fancy for my girlfriends birthday the bouncers always give that lame excuse there is a private party. We spoke to other people there wasnt a private party. We were ready to spend 500-1000 on bottles at this place and were denied for no reason. Not only did you lose my money that day I will never stay at your hotel ever again. I have been to this place with a marine and you guys turned us down. Your staff are pathetic low lifes. How dare you treat customers they way you guys do. The asian man at the door has no business in hospitality whatsoever. Who do you think you are. Plenty of places in NYC I go over weekend and unfortunately Im owed an apology to ever consider coming again. If you dont treat your customers right someone in NYC will plenty of rooftops now with friendly staff get over yourselves.
Ok so this place is great. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is due to the music that is played here. The dj needs to change up his selection of music. It is some instrumental rave music but it does not bring good energy. I think the selection should be a combination of dance music and mashups. If they make the improvement with music then this place will have unlimited potential and will definitely be one of the best clubs anyone in New York may have attended.
Great place for a summer sunset. Get a $18 champagne glass and enjoy the sunset. The door can be complicated, so make sure that you were nice cloths or you are beautiful under 30.Thursday are gay night the the jacuzzi gets busy.
Extremely racist. We went on a Saturday night and after waiting in line for 15 minutes they told us we couldn’t get in because we weren’t on a “guest list” and were completely okay to let people in that were very obviously not on the guest list.I don’t throw the racist word around but this was pretty obvious and blatant. If you’re brown or south asian, you can pretty much skip this place. Never felt this humiliated before. Thanks for nothing.
Good place to come and hang out. Seems a little up tight to me and wayyyy over hyped. Would I go again, yes. Rooftop bar is a great place to hang out but gets very busy with limited seating. Expensive (even for the city).
Le Bain is a young trendy rooftop bar with one of the best views of the Hudson River and downtown Manhattan. Note that it can prove challenging to get into later at night, with a velvet rope and sidewalk entrance. Something nobody seems to be talking about is the horrendous bar queue. Prepare to wait 10-15 minutes before making it to the bar for a drink. Overall, the view and crowd seem to make you forget about the queues and it ends up being a great experience.
Came here for Sunday Funday and had an amazing time!! Loved the ambiance and the view was amazing 😊
Please do not go there they’re extremely racist Staff is very unorganized
Dont go near that place!! The guy at the entrance was very rood, we came dressed nicely (dresses of course) as to a good place, but was rudely offered to come back tomorrow mid-day as we aint good enough for your night parties?! Other girls in jeans walked in! Why? Cuz they had heels? Were prettier in his eyes?! Also no people of color were allowed. All the rece comments- damn true!!
I went there to celebrate my birthday with my friend and was let in. Later on our husbands came to join us and wasnt aloud in. They were told that there is a private party! Such a ....! Feels like only girls can get in. And for couples there is 50/50 chance. Dont waste ur time; there are other places to go. We went to the other place and spent our $$$$. Wont be back .....
If this place wasnt so expensive, I would come here more often. But cmon... $12 for a beer with included 19% gratuity? Thats $16 for a 12 oz. sammy smiths porter... pretty ridiculous considering you can get a 6-pack for that price.The Standard Hotel is really unnecessarily classy and wreaks of baller-ness. If you come here and youre trying to pick up women, Im sure theyll ask you what you do and how much you make. The crowd is a little bit snobby and youll need to adhere to the dress code to not get stared at. This seems to be a place where you can pull off a tuxedo and not get too many odd looks.I would recommend getting here around 6pm so you can grab a seat on the roof and watch the sunset. Its a little bit breezy, but I feel like most people dont know about this spot yet so it can stay rather hidden. When I arrived on Tuesday, we basically had the whole roof to ourselves with a clear view of uptown and downtown. I think this would be an excellent place to take your parents and say youve moved up to the fancy world. Note: Save money now because obsene amounts of money will be spent.
Well, I havent been to the place, just came across it as I was looking, but the outstanding amount of reviews here talking about discrimination and zero responses (or obviously concerns) from the owners is good enough for me to rank them poorly.Not that it will change anything about the way this establishment is being run, but maybe some who see this would stop standing in the line to be judged by the bouncer based on the looks later.
Went there for NYE and waited outside for 20 minutes in 12° weather despite the fact that we had already purchased tickets. We left and came back when the line was shorter. Inside, it was overcrowded, like they had sold too many tickets. We were yelled at for wanting to wait for our Uber ride inside after having picked up out coats. Bad experience overall, however the view was very beautiful.
DEAR Mr. Andre Balazs,I would like to start of by saying, I respect you for your Chateau Marmont acquisition in 1990 as it was a great investment. However, I regret to inform you of our bad experience for your establishment “Le Bain”. I have been to Le Bain on several occasions and never had any issues with entry. Last night, my wife and I got to the door at approximately 1 AM. Our friends were already inside awaiting our arrival as it was my wife’s birthday. Please note there were only about 5-6 patrons ahead of us in line. We were greeted by an Asian lad who had the nastiest attitude I have encountered in the hospitality field ever!!! This individual seriously looked, dressed & smelled like one of the many Occupy Wall Street pond scum I used to step over while walking thru Zuccati Park on way to work on 14 Wall! My wife & I were dressed “IMMACULATE TO THE” we are the ideal clientele any upscale and/ or 5 star establishment would love to have in their establishment. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!! MY WIFE AND I WERE REFUSED ADMISSION! This unprofessional doorman asked us if we were guests of the DJs. If not, we had to be part of a guest list. there is no Guest list !! I saw men ahead of us getting inside your establishment with a loose shirt hanging out his pants. Since we were neatly dressed with classy shoes, we get refused entry and told to get off his line. If you are still planning to visit this place, my advice is use your dirtiest attire and old shoes, and you won’t have no issues getting in. Don’t dress to impress, apparently doorman doesn’t like classy dressed people.In conclusion, this “doorman” should be the last person in charge of the door. We saw him let other people waiting on line without any questions and they were not in VIP. This man discriminates people; ruining the club and hotel’s reputation. As I read other reviews, I see MANY other patrons have the same issue. Le Bain, get rid of this doorman before patrons sign a petition or a discriminatory lawsuit!!Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone
Pretty much one of NYCs coolest bars, I prefer to go during the day when its not a total madhouse (and the door is easy). Yes, you can go into the hot tub and yes, they have bathing suits for the brave. Theyre in a vending machine at the top of the staircase that leads to the roof deck - though its easy to get sidetracked by the gorgeous views of the river. The crowd is a unique variety of too-cool-for-school rich hipsters and investment banker types that are thankfully hipper than the bros who populate the beer garden downstairs.
Would give them 0 stars for discriminatory way of doing business. But unfortunately Google doesnt allow less. Its unbelievable how in NYC IN 2018 Such behavior is still entertained!My story:Been to Le bain in the past and never saw this. We arrived to a party and checked online prior to arrival if this was an exclusive event and their site said nothing of the sort. We get to the doorman and he asks if we are on the guest list or a guest of the dj. As we were not we responded that we are not. He went on saying that its required to in ordered to join the event. We walked away politely and observed how he said nothing of the sort for the next 25-30 guests that were in line.This amount of inequality is uncalled for ans hope this place either changes their door policy or suffers the consequences all the others that operate on this manner suffered.

2022-04-16Went in a group of 4 on a spring Friday at 4 PM. The place was pretty much filled up but we found a spot for ourselves on the rooftop. The drinks were light (ordered a margarita). The views are pretty good but it gets windy at the top. You might want to keep a jacket and a hair tie handy.

2022-06-27Lebain is appreciated enough I know and so loved but things what they support and advocating are more then just business! You support everyone equally and you are giving space to all of people! Your security are one of the most professional people I have ever seen. The persons who meet you downstairs are such an amazing folks🥰Beside that they remember each of costumer and they treat they with big respect. ❤️Bartenders ❤️❤️❤️and the girl who gives us lights - next to DJ - she is a miracle ❤️ Artists are professional and lover of real music ❤️Thanks for being place where quality of music matches right vibes ❤️🙏🌈🌈🇺🇦🇬🇪🇺🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

2022-03-28Le Bain was great its a FREE/tips appreciated Mandatory coat check for the safety of your coat! Even though it’s a rooftop it’s enclosed so it gets hot, unless you go to the upper floor where it’s got an opening to go out and experience a view if youd like, but for the most part you would t need your coat 🧥, people get hot take off their coat, and get drunk then leave their coat 🧥🥲 then it gets stolen cuz it’s probably a good coat cuz your brought it to hangout and show off so 😭😭😭 to prevent that it’s a mandatory coat check and I thought that was amazing!But it’s much more the open floor plan and the seating areas and dancing areas it was very cool and the drinks were delicious, New York 🗽 expensive but worth it

2021-11-14It’s a must visit especially when you are new in the city and want to experience the breathtaking NYC view. They have a cover and we tried their pitchers (don’t remember the names). I did notice they don’t have a wide variety for food so it’s better to have drinks here then go have dinner somewhere else. They lack an organized system for seating the guests hence a four/five star.P.S don’t miss out on visiting their restrooms. The view from their is insane too.

2022-06-09Beautiful place to spend an evening in. If you want a table to sit and chill with friends then reserve. Otherwise hangout and dance in the first floor! So worth it! Highly recommend

2021-10-09Most of the areas are still under renovation but the view remains impeccable. Cucumber lemonade and frozen rosé are good drink options. But if you want to posh it up, wait for the indoor bars etc to open up again. Otherwise, this area is more for after work drinks vs. fancy date.

2021-08-28Maria’s POV: The rooftop and the view is unbeatable. They have a frozen drink that is delicious, too. You pay for the ambience, and I respect that. Clubbing wise…it’s fun if you like EDM and house music. That’s not really my style but if it is- you’ll enjoy!

2022-06-10Incredible views and typically overpriced drinks. What can you do, its meatpacking district. One time industrial hub; now a playground for tourists and nouveau rich.
