Amazing view, great service and awesome musicIt’s definitely expansive but worth it
What a beautiful location.. I wish cocktails were charged on a decent note.. Usually 1 drink will cost a 20$.. Tried Old Fashioned and Kamikazi shot.. All ranging from 15$ to 20$..!Vibe is chill.. Music has all the latest crowd pleasing tunes ranging from reels music to classics..!
Was in town for the weekend and came across Mr Purple. My server Ayla and she was one of the best servers I’ve ever had from the second I walked in the door. I felt welcomed. Excellent view of the city. They Played great music with a nice laid back environment . Looking forward to going back when I return.
Fantastic views across the city, good drinks and generally a pretty solid vibe - not a bad place to spend a Sunday drinking!
Back here after 2 years and the crowd is back. Drinks are still consistent and the vibe remains good.
Nice view and beautiful spot to enjoy sunset. Food is ok but drinks could be much more better. Note that the dishware is plastic! Yes, all cheap plastic. We spent more than 80 bucks for 2 appetizers and 2 drinks and we barely could finish drinking that the service people were already grabbing the glasses from the table. It used to be a good place. I think they are now a lil bit behind other places
It is awesome place to be! The atmosphere, people, food and drinks are very enjoyable. The open terrace on both sides provide one of the finest views on NYC and bar area in the middle gets very busy as the day progresses. At times you get to wait 30 mins for placing a drink order. Some Drinks are unique in taste profile like under the volcano, lite my fire, peach blossom, LES Spritz and Lychee Martini are a must try.Get reservations and youll enjoy to the next level. You get two hours to reserve at once for you and your party, sit relax eat drink and dance. Its fabulous experience.
Awesome rooftop bar, so worth the wait. The views over the city were amazing and I loved the heaters provided! Drinks are overpriced but that’s what you get in the heart of nyc.
A very fun New York rooftop bar. The food is not great but that’s not what you really come for. The drink are decent but pricey. The view is superb. You have an expansive view of the whole city with the novelty of a swimming pool.
As it is in most of NYC, prices are not cheap but this place is very cozy and the views are some of the best in all of NYCs roof top bars. Drinks and food are worthy the prices. The expresso martinis are excellent.
Excellent view! Drinks are mediocre. You definitely do not go here for the drinks or service. It’s only the views and maybe the music.
The only thing nice about this place is the view. The security and hostesses were VERY rude. A security guard antagonized my friend (a woman) as we were leaving the establishment, TWICE! There are plenty of other rooftops with nice city views. I recommend going anywhere else.
Good luck getting a drink here. Not the first time I’ve been burned by this spot which is consistently under-staffed and poorly managed. If you’re just looking for a rooftop with a view to show your instagram followers, this will work for you. If you’re actually trying to have a drink with friends it’s going to be a very long wait at the bar (easily over 30 min). The bartenders are in the unfortunate position of having to tell patrons that easier drinks (I.e. vodka sodas) will be prioritized over more complex cocktails- might be the first time I’ve ever heard that at a bar. Pro tip: drink before you come here because honestly, it seems they don’t even want your money- and the over-priced drink you’ll eventually get isn’t worth the time, money, or atmosphere.
One of the bartender was rude I asked if he could suggest any drink that I was describing and make something up.he could’ve suggested but instead I had to look in the menu smh.
Did not stay in the hotel - only visited Mr. Purple (rooftop lounge bar). What a hidden gem - the views are spectacular! Good music, drinks, and appetizers. Mr Purple has everything you need for a night out in NYC.
Very nice view of the NY skyline. However we had to wait for a long time at the bar to get our drinks. The barman did not seem to care as he did not serve people on a first come first serve basis but rather chose who to serve first at his own discretion which was frustrating.
Best rooftop in the LES area and probably one of the best in the city, great service, no cover charge, and unobstructed views of lower/midtown Manhattan. Be warned though the wait on line is long unless table reservations are made in advance or with a host.
We headed there on a casual Saturday afternoon (this past weekend). We were in good spirits and a small group of 5 girls, and it was not surprising we had to wait in line on a weekend (I guess?). We encountered a group ahead of us who we were thrilled to find out were from the same part of India as us - we let out a small squeal, and were immediately threatened by a awkwardly empowered hostess, who made sure to hold it against us and continue to let others go ahead of us, to our shock. We decided to leave, but I have to say, the screening team has to have some customer service training. I would understand if we were super belligerent, disrespectful, or even aggressive, but we were paying customers who just had a fleeting moment of joy at meeting someone from where we are from. Anyway, TLDR: pretentious entitled door people.
The views at this spot is exquisite. Very beautiful design and electric ambience. Iman and Hannah were amazing and you need to hire more people like them.
Terrible customer service experience, came on April 6th at 8 pm for a friend’s birthday and as we walked in we were greeted with the worst possible customer service experience imaginable. Extremely rude customer service, when greeted with a hostess like that we didn’t even want to dine in anymore and left. While the manger did accommodate, at that point we were so disrespected that we left

Great place to catch up with friends for drinks but get there early or youll be waiting a while for your first drinks. The music is definitely a mood setter in this place as well.
Mr Purple rocks in NYC. The music, service, vibe was excellent. Mike was a excellent host!! A must stop if you want to have a great time. Rooftop is amazing.

Mr Purple is a Lower East Side staple. Great music and even better service. My man Humberto at the bar makes the best drinks by far! Get that Gin mystery drink!

Above average drinks, definitely will bump into someone interesting, may even go on adventure and end up with a surprise, super clean and organized bathroom - ladies line was not bad at all, more consistent latin/reggae music comes on at/past 2 am which is a nice adrenaline boost.
Wow this was a disaster. I went in for my friend’s 26th birthday and I read that casamigos is 18 for a pour… 2 oz… so I ask for 2 shots and they charged me 40 dollars… so I said no only one drink. The bartender told me that this is a drink and I said to give me (1) 2 oz’s pour then and charge me 18… he wouldn’t do it so asked to speak with a manager, Lexi… 10/10 would not recommend them AT ALL. They told me that that was the price and then I pulled up their menu and showed the 18 dollar price for casamigos. He started to slur his words so I asked are you drunk right now because this person seemed intoxicated. And then he proceeded to kick me out because he said I was claiming he was drunk and some other random things that had nothing to do with the issue I was having as a patron, and that if I didn’t want to pay for the drink then to get out… wow that was handled wrong and all of the employees know he’s toxic. Seriously need a resolve for this I’ll be calling back but not coming back until this is fixed.
Really great views from the rooftop. Perfect location to see the sunset with the skyline in the view. The staff are very friendly and they have quite a few good signature cocktails.
This place is really nice its on a rooftop nice view not sure how it will be for the winter but during that summer fall season it is beautiful up there. The drinks are pricey but the music was pumping. However, the lines are long and I am not sure of the price. You got to dress to impress if you going in this place. Fellas shoes are must. This is not my kind of scene but if you want to have your party in a place to impress this is it for sure. I got same nice rooftop pictuers.
Great ambience and music on the rooftop patio! Spent a sunny Sunday afternoon lounging with some drinks. Service is friendly & quick!
Nice rooftop bar with lovely views of LES. It’s a chill spot to hang out but definitely pre game if you don’t want to spend a lot on the drinks — they are expensive. Crowd was a mix, slightly more upscale but there didn’t seem to be a dress code.
From canada to new york its a very nice place to go definitely. Highly recommendedVery nice view of the city, great drinks.And met a very nice guy IbrahimaaaaaaGreat service
One of the best rooftop bars in the city. Views from the freedom tower to the Empire State Building. The drinks are very expensive, but its worth it for a little bit. There is a lower level that is quiet and bright and very nice with art and couches. I like being able to get retreat from all the noise for a few minutes so it was nice to be able to go downstairs and relax. They also have a small rooftop on the other side of the building where the views are not as good but its quiet and romantic.
Really nice spot in NYC! Drinks are great and the atmosphere here is awesome!! Highly recommend MR purple!! Besides the bar and lounge they also have a gallery at the lower level! Check this place out and have a great night!
They have good drinks but the greeter had A disgusting attitude . The bartenders are really cool people nice views .
A really sweet rooftop that offers tremendous views atop the Indigo Hotel in LES. The biggest draw of Mr. Purple, without question, is the break-taking views of both downtown and uptown NYC. Few NYC rooftops offer the vantage points of Mr. Purple. As for refreshments, the cocktails are a step above the norm in terms of rooftop quality, the Mr. Purple is a fan favorite. The food (and service) is average at best but let’s be real, that’s not why you chose Mr. Purple. Another perk that I rather enjoy is having the option of both an indoor and outdoor experience. Furthermore, if you decide to stay as a guest in the hotel, you’ll receive exclusive pool access which offers the best seat in the house. Mr. Purple is a great option for after work drinks, first dates, and an excellent option for classic NYC views.
Great staff! Which really makes an experience, of course the view from the roof top is great also, but highly recommended.
Not really happy with the service, drinks are alright not that great. Appetizers are fine. Just pay for the place it’s a decent place for spending the evening.
Love love love the Manhattan skyline views from here. Mr. Purple is the restaurant/bar on top of Hotel Indigo on the Lower East Side. They do lunch, brunch, and dinner, and there are two terraces where you can sit outside. There’s also a little pool. You probably aren’t going to swim in it, but it’s nice to know that you could. This place isn’t as cheesy as a lot of the rooftop bars you see out there, but it does get crowded. So, unless you come early, you might have some trouble at the door.
Trendy hotel rooftop bar with a magnificent view of Manhattan. We went on a Sunday afternoon, and the music was perhaps a little too pounding but the vibe was fun. There is a rooftop pool as well. Cocktails are NY-priced, around 17 dollars per cocktails. The service was surprisingly nice for this kind of bar, where it can often be snooty.
One of the best views in Les, Happy to have celebrated my birthday here! Even though security made an unreasonable problem for my friend about ID, thank god the manager fixed that problem. Overall prices for food & drinks were fair. Just wondering when exactly the pool will be available to swim in!
Super chill rooftop bar in the lower east side area- one of my favorites because you can see a great view of the entire city. We caught an incredible sunset, so if youre into that, this is the place for you. Drinks were very affordable and the food was way better than most other bars. Definitely a top 5 nyc rooftop bar
Rooftop is open with a minimum spend right now (18/Jul) which makes total sense with their limited capacity. Perfect to watch the sunset and incredible view of the city.
Amazing view and decor. The bar was spacious and pleasant to lounge in. We went on a Wednesday night so there was no line and only a few people which was nice. There was a good selection of cocktails and everything we ordered tasted great.
Amazing view, nice environment
Amazing views overlooking the city. We came through with a big group - with family members from out-of-state and the staff here was very welcoming. It was a great place to take them. The drinks are a little pricey but the bar is beautiful and the location is clean and beautifully decorated.
Food and cocktails were fine but the service was abysmal. They ended up comping our food because they took 1 1/2 hours to get out three fish tacos out to us. It’s a nice view but there are way better rooftops out there.
Absolutely killer place with a nice view. The fact that I was here during a thunderstorm made all that much cooler watching the rain and lightning from this places comfy setting. A must if youre inn the LES!
I visited there Friday night. It was packed as it was expected.Here are cons and pros:Pros:1. Great view to the city2. Beautiful pool adds to the attraction3. Two big terrace area let guests enjoy the crowd pool area or a quiet terrace at the backCons:1. Very limited number of bathrooms for women. It is a proven fact that women use bathroom more than men. So if the bathrooms are not more, they should at least be equal. However, there were 4 bathrooms vs 8 for men.2. For such a high quality and luxury rooftop, higher quality and more creative drinks are expected. Quality was normal without any creative decoration or recipe.
Too loud, like soul cycle but worse. Even non alcoholic drinks are $$$. Pool table wasnt open. Decent views though
Gotta be one of my favorite rooftop bars. The atmosphere is very hip.However, the line to get in could be long during weekends. I would say the best time to visit would be weekdays in the summer to catch the best outdoor view.You can see both the empire state building (mid town) and world trade center (downtown)
Don’t waste your time or money here, they try to hustle you to buy a table instead of having casual drinks.
Nice bar and view of the city. UNFORTUNATELY, the staff does not qualify. We had a round of tequilla sunrise - there was in fact no tequilla alcohol, instead, they put some white rum, probably Bacardi - which is not a bad drink, but that is just not what we ordered. OK. We gave them another chance, so we ordered another round. This time, there was ACTUALLY no alcohol! Not to mention the servers were not really responding to our order requests, they were very slow. Maybe that is why they offered us a free shot of vodka with limoncello? All in all, nice place and view - but the staff is very, very dissapointing.
Great spot and worth going. I would say the cocktails were better than good, especially the Chai vodka one I tried first. Pretzel bites were good not great but come with very good dipping sauces/ cheeses.A bit pricey but the views are on point and it’s a fun scene.
The view from the top is amazing !!Rather buying tickets for many rooftops in the city, you can just grab a drink and chill out. You can see most of the skyline from the top.
It is really a nice place ! Cocktails are good but a little pricey.It changed in a couple of years, from a nice cosy-low key place to a blasting-sound-system-party.. too bad
One of the great spots to go out or stop. Great views. Always enjoy coming here
Made a reservation do it 8 at 23:00 on a Sunday to celebrate my birthday. When I arrived, I was told the bar is closing. Unreliable and unapologetic. Would not recommend
Very trendy bar/ rooftop lounge! Love the atmosphere, great specialty cocktails, superb service, just a little pricey but still worth going to for a nice date night or mingling with friends! Incredible view of the city too!
Nice view! Great cocktails and atmosphere. The food and drinks are pretty expensive but i think it’s a great place.
Really cool roof bar in the Lower East Side! They had heaters on the deck when the weather is cold. Drinks are well made and you get an incredible view of the city. Ill be back next time Im in the city
This place is so lively with beautiful views, the pool is a must. But the music needs to be louder
Best views of the city from the city. Turns into a cute winter wonderland during the holidays. Have hear good things during the summer but cannot personally attest to it. It does get a little crowded and it is a little expensive but it’s the city.
Very nice roof top with 3 diferent areas, thay have small pool and awesomest view around the place. Atmosphere was delightful, because on music and comfortably maintained area around pool so you can lay on sunbed and enjoy fully in NYC. Drinks 💲💲.
Mr.purple was a let down , we went in one after noon on a sunday and the guard or host at the front desk did not let my sister in at the bar because she did not have a physical ID . But she had a photo of the id thats scannable along with the scannable vaccine that they DID take thats also a photo . Which makes NO SENSE AT ALL . Its 2022 everything is digital now , you guys need to get with the program . Came all the way from brooklyn to give this place a shot to be turned down over a physical ID is beyond ridiculous . Mean while literally every bar and resturant around let us in that day . The view of this location wasnt all that . Would not be coming back .
The 3 stars are only for the view and the decoration/design. Other than that doesnt worth it. Pretentious people, big lines, too loud music and for no reason. No one is ever dancing and with the music that loud you cant have a conversation either while you enjoy the view. There are way better and cheaper options in the area. Skip this one. Or just go for one drink in a weekday (normally there is no line).
From London to newyork I ain’t ever seen this. I went to the bathroom and seen a guy called Abraham in the toilet with a full shop. Aftershaves, mouth wash, sweets! Yeah it’s lit!
The place is probably great but the security person who they have working and checking ID’s is the rudest whole I’ve ever met. Will never b coming back due to him. Whoever is in charge, I suggest you hire someone new asap
Camila made the whole experience so much better by providing an amazing customer service. Our server Imam was phenomenal as well
Mr. Purple is amazing! Everything you want is there the bottles of champagne were about 160 each, one thing tho the vodka bottles were 500$ which was abit too much for 6 people our bill was 1,100 which was fine the most expensive part were the shots. If you don’t want to go heavy then 160 for the champagne is definitely the way for you to go, other than that the place had chill music, bouncers are very nice. Sandra hooked it up big time the entire night and Andrew was really helpful!
Great ambience and vibe in this bar, music played was on point, the views were amazing from the rooftop! Definitely recommended.
The bar is super cool, and the views are just amazing (you can see both the one world trade center, lower Manhattan, and also the skyline of midtown with the empire state). The service and drinks were good. I would prefer the music to be different: I would have liked to hear more pop or latin hits, I think that could help to create a better, more lively and fun environment. Music is a key element for a great night. In spite of that, I would repeat this place!!!
Excellent rooftop bar. Diligent and nice staff, drinks are pretty good too. Nice view as well. Only pain is if you want to book you need to be a group of 6 or more.
After standing in line you can’t come in this what they told our party of people. Not impressed with their attitude. If I could I would give them zero stars.
Always a good night here. Last visit we had drinks & cocktails in the winter chalet and it was perfection!
Very nice bar, even better during the summer as they have an amazing open terrace with a beautiful view.The drinks are good as the beer options are nice. This is more a high- scale place so expect a bit over the average prices but it is worth. If you go over weekends in the evening you probably need a reservation to get in as it gets very packed and Exclusive.I typically take here friends from out of town and it is always a big hit!
Awesome rooftop experience. Friendly staff with top notch drinks and food, great vibes, good times. Thanks!
Loved the space. Bar was crowded and took awhile to get a simple cocktail but views on the deck were hard to beat. Fun, trendy vibe on the wkend.
Great view, good service.. but, they serve cocktails in plastic glasses!! Tacky:))
Extremely rude crew in the entrance. They didnt accept my visa card in the entrance. Went back home with friends on the inside. None of us are ever coming back
Over hyped like a lot of places in NY! Nice but firstly they serve you in plastic glasses maybe because of the pool closeby! Very crowded and seating is an issue! Service is slow and they make you feel as if they’re doing you a huge favour! Lovely view of the Empire State Building! The pool was not heated and very narrow! Chic crowd but had its share of guys who would break out into a fight
We booked the Veuve Clicquot dome on the rooftop & had a wonderful experience. Cozy faux fur blankets & couches to relax on while sipping champagne & looking at the New York skyline through the clear ceiling was beyond spectacular. A definite must!!
Really great atmosphere,but plan on chilling a while if you want a drink....$$$$$
It’s a no from me.Pretentious, WAY to loud. Absurd levels of noise. No room to move and I left my glasses and the staff didn’t care to look nor return my calls about lost property.
Went early on a Saturday night around 8pm and the place was lit. Young and nice crowd, amazing (but expensive) cocktails. Staff was very helpful to find us some seats in a packed bar.
Great rooftop bar with amazing city views. Nice drinks for a happy hour.
The views are awesome. The food is good. The drinks are OMG!!! But the service is from time to time really crappy specially on busy hours.
Well I really wanted this to be written positively but I had the worst experience here. This place is very low quality on service and craft of cocktails. The drinks were easy to make and fumbled with attitude just ordering them. The views are good and that’s about it, much better rooftop bars around. Also tip here they do not allow bringing of drinks up to your room if staying at the Indigo. This establishment moves onto my overrated list.
I want to go back simply for the frozen hot chocolate drink! WOW and the place has a nice vibe, great rooftop bar!
Typical rooftop bar. The pix of winter igloos and nice food is completely misleading; none of that available. I wasnt familiar so felt duped. But if you want a beautiful rooftop bar this is the place
If you are planning to reserve a table or spend a lot of money at this place. It is totally NOT worth it.You pay the minimum without a security of the table.The front desk person and the bouncers downstairs very Rude! Not at all professional.We asked if we can step away from the table for few minutes, they were not ready to take responsibility to keep the table secure even if we have paid for the table.Not a bar/rooftop that lives up-to to NYC standards.If you are planning a visit please do not. There are much much better places to visit.
Amazing rooftop bar with good drinks and a nice view of the city
Great Bar ! Awesome roof top views .Yes that’s a pool outside....drinks on the high end however worth it.
The views from this rooftop bar are worth the trip alone. The drinks are decent but the service can be slow at times, even during off-hours. If you are looking for an incredible view, this is the place, but if you are looking for first rate cocktails, there are other spots in the East Village that have better cocktail programs and charge less per drink.
Some of the drinks were wonderful but others could use some work. Pretty pricey, but the view is great. The service was rlly amazing tho! From the host to servers all the staff was very nice and friendly. Especially Heather who was so sweet and always checked in on us to make sure we were doing okay.
Came here with my clients and had an absolutely amazing experience!! Ayala was absolutely phenomenal, her service, and vibes were extraordinary!!
Good vibes, frozen drink is a bit sour but overall great venue
Incredibly disappointing and beyond overpriced. (I had to give it a star in order to post this). We had dinner reservations for 3 for Friday night at 9pm, 7/31/2021. Table was tiny and a high top. We had paid $115/per person set minimum fee, even-though our spendings at the end of the night were just under $175 for all three of us!!!!! We were each given a bill of $115 to sign and settle up. It wasnt until the next day that we found out the establishment had added $61 tip to each of our bills without our knowledge!!!!! Place was filed with drunk young crowd who kept constantly bumping into our table. The website photos of this place are a lie, as there was no cushioned seating. Drinks were OK, food was terrible!!!!! Worse than a basic bar food at a two star pub. Pool was blocked off, so you couldnt even stand there. There was only one stall bathroom for a several hundred drunks to share. Line was about 15-20 minutes at a time. By 10pm the bathroom was already completely filthy. The night had cost each one of us $176 + tax!!!!! We had finally left there at around midnight, hungry, tired, and repulsed. Stay away from Mr. Purple if you have any class and basic dinner in NYC standards. PS: we did dance to get over the annoyance :-)
Mr Purple is the finest Rooftop bar NYC has to offer.From their 15th floor on the Lower East Side, enjoy stunning views of Midtown to the North and the world trade center to the West.Be aware, food and drinks are fairly simple, and very overpriced, but thats the premium you pay for the incredible views and outstanding service.Expect to pay around $20 for a Long Island Iced Tea, $17 for a basket of chicken fingers and fries.If you want a truly premium experience, they offer poolside dining by reservation only.Its a bit hefty, at $50/head admission plus $150/head food-beverage minimum, but the $200/head is very much worth it, especially if you are staying downstairs at their affiliate, the Hotel Indigo(2021-Q3)
Way too crowded! Overhyped. Line to get in is over 1 hour long. Too many kids and wannabes. 2 stars only because the bartenders are honest and good, which is rare in a trap, like this. Actually, all the staff has been decent, here. But the hordes of people kill this place.
Great atmosphere and views, cocktails a little watery.
One of the best views over New York. They have an outdoor and indoor area. The service is not the best and the wine selection is quite poor, but I would definitely go back again for the setting.
Roof top lounge with impressive view, friendly staff. Relaxing location.
We had an amazing time here on Christmas Day, courtesy of Ferris. What a great guy, I’d recommend anyone coming to Mr Purple get served by him! From Kris & Bridie!
I would like to give this place a negative rating. Never going back. Never recommending this place to anyone. Save your time and $1,000.. coz that’s what they ask you to spend to get in.
Mr. Purple has a rooftop with amazing views, a nice cozy atmosphere and a pool. The vibe is sophisticated chic and you are sure to have a great time. Enjoy great conversation over a great cocktail. Great art pieces will make you whip out your camera and want to explore the space more.
One of my favorite bar in NYC. Worth the visit! Great spot 👌🏼
No draft beer, no iced tea, no coke and staff unfriendly. Perfect combo 👌
Awesome rooftop bar with great views and cocktails. Highly recommended around sunset!
So good you can really have a great time there
Got a reservation for my friends birthday, we tried to call in advance to say we had less members joining our party but after multiple calls and a voicemail no one called us back. We showed up and it wasn’t that busy, we then were sat outside with the incredible view. The waitress we had wasn’t as friendly as we would have liked. We asked if she could of gotten a picture since it was my friends birthday but she said no since she was wearing gloves while no other service professionals were. Once we ordered drinks, the 3 that were delivered all had either lip stick stains or completely dirty around the rim. I understand covid and not being able to take our picture but then serving us dirty drinks didn’t make sense. When we toldour waitress she just said it was the dishwasher. She didn’t comp our drinks (which wasn’t something I wanted or expected) or even apologize for the inconvenience and when she brought them back said “You do you baby”. Just not the experience we were expecting. Incredible view and seems like a great place for multiple people. Food was good, but not great!
One of the most amazing rooftop in NY. A must see with a crazy view on all the skyline.
Great bar with friendly staff and service and fantastic views of the city. Come see the beautiful skyline with a friend and the conversation will match the view. Magical place
If you’re looking for a great NYC rooftop view, this is it! The bar is pretty and sophisticated, on a more expensive side, but given the location and the experience, it is expected. I loved the cocktails, and I loved the staff - even though I was waiting for my friends for more than 20 minutes, they were not pushing me to otder, which I very much respect!
Horrible customer service . We had been at a table for 2 hours spending money . As we were enjoying ourselves they walked up and told us we had to get up they had reservations for that table . Ok fine but why not give us a 10 min or 15 min heads up that we needed to leave . They had a reservation , we would have gladly finished our drinks amd left . Instead they sent security over to try and intimidate us and pick up our drinks ..it was 4:56 I am sure reservation was at 5 !! So spend money there too good and they simply don’t care !!!
Highly raccomanded, especially by night. form her eyou can see both Empire and freedom tower. Nice people, nice mood, nice restrooms (the lady there is sooo lovely).
Fantastic view. I mean just sensational. Probably one of the best in city! Drinks are understandably pricey but well-worth the experience.
Charming rooftop bar high atop the Lower East Side. While decidedly hip, its still un-permeated completely by the scenesters that frequent many of the local galleries and cafes. Incredible views as well.
Great views, but a little pretentious and pricey. The waitress was kinda rude.
I go here alllll the time. I love Mr.Purple. Always good music and good people. Drinks are a bit pricey but they are good. Amazing view of the city. The rooftop is a must go!
Horrible experience and an even worse staff!! wish I could give it zero stars. To start, Bouncer was very very rude and was not at all professional. We were disrespected multiple times just waiting in line. We all traveled from far away places and had only one night in the city, dressed for the occasion, and waited for our turn, our night was almost ruined by their unprofessional staff. Apart from a view (just like any other nyc rooftop) there is NOTHING here. This place is not worth your money or time, plenty of other good places with a better staff nearby!
Line was long, waited around 45 minutes while being bullied by the bouncers to leave or by the bottle girl to get a table. Overall an unpleasant experience saw at least 80 people leave while
Beautiful views, great atmosphere, amazing crowd. Food is pretty good, yummy drinks.
The view is beautifulDrinks and food is great too good prices you can swim 🏊♂️ and relax if you want to.
Initially I was skeptical from reading all of the terrible reviews on here. However we had a great experience. The front desk was very friendly. The views were excellent. Prices were expected. And our server Jenny was literally an angel and was very helpful and attentive
Good music, decent cocktails. Fries were amazing!
Great location, super awesome atmosphere. Great drinks.
Ive always had a wonderful experience here. One of the managers always hooks it up. Its got great views and amazing espresso martinis. The music and vibes are nice - just waiting for COVID to bypass so they can open up mingling again
The view of the skyline is great! Drinks are reasonably priced for a rooftop lounge. Went here with my GF, sister, her fiancé, and a good friend and his wife. We had a nice comfy couch to sit on, the service was good, and had no complaints. Was a fun night!
Excellent roof top bar. Good view of lower Manhattan. But very long wait times to enter during Fri/Sat night.
Beautiful place. Amazing views. Great music. I acutally had a great time.However I found the drinks to be way to0 pricey. $18.50 per drink plus tip youre looking at a solid $20 for a subpar drink.
Cool rooftop bar on the LES! Went on a rainy night and still had a good time ! Definitely recommend! The views are spectacular
Great view of the skyline. The drinks are a little pricey but I suppose you pay for the view and good atmosphere
Lines are long and drinks are expensive but atmosphere is unbelievable. Top 3 rooftop in NYC in my opinion
Great rooftop views, always wonder who would swim in the pool with it being so busy. igloo is really cool to chill in if its open
Beautiful views!! I will definitely be going back. The music and drinks were perfect!
I’m staying at Hotel Indigo and the experience has not been up to par with the prices or my expectations. I made a reservation at the pool with a staff member who failed to tell me the minimum for being at the pool was $200 spending fee PER person after already paying $50 per person for a pass. Knowing this beforehand, I would not have stayed at the hotel if I knew I couldn’t even use the pool. Since Mr. purple is separate from the hotel it was “out of their hands”. This bar is overrated and overpriced. Had to wait on line as well when I already had a reservation and members in the line did not.
My friend reserved the pool area for his birthday. We had a fantastic time. Service was very attentive. Food, drinks, crowd, vibe...all on point.
Amazing roof-top venue with a lively atmosphere and well-made drinks. Highly recommend if you’re in the Lower East Side.
Very fun atmosphere! Great service and comfy seating.
Nice rooftop lounge with beautiful views. Drinks alright. Got a little quiet on a Thursday night once the after- work crowd left.
Nice view and great atmosphere.The drinks were good as well as the appetizers. Came here for Brunch on a Sunday with a couple friends.They do serve very small portions, so if you’re very hungry, I recommend you grab something to eat before you go there.A little disappointed that there were a group of ladies drunk, even broke a glass and they were still not kicked out of the place.Definitely expected a better solution for their performance.
Phenomenal bar and definitely would go back. I went here for my birthday with a couple friends in February. The view was phenomenal. The city lights looked amazing. Great, great, great views of the city. They have a pool on the roof. It was too cold to go in because it was February, but would be a nice place to visit in the summer time. Everyone was nice, bartenders were great. Atmosphere and ambiance was stellar. Would definitely recommend.It was very crowded, but I expect magnificent places in New York to be that way.
Staff wouldn’t let us sit a table of 2 despite being totally empty. Then wouldn’t let us use the bathroom while we waited, since we weren’t customers (since they wouldn’t seat us). The website was not taking reservations and their phone number didn’t work.Go to one of the many other awesome rooftops in LES.
Very unique! Awesome crowd, excellent music, and rooftop vibes 🎶You get some pretty nice views of the city from the rooftop area, and the food and drinks are great!!
Great drinks , nice view and friendly staff
Great bar .. great cocktails super cool vibe
The worst service I have ever got in NYC. It seems that the waitress is not pleased with its place of work.
Decided to try this spot while touring around lower Manhattan. While the view is really pretty the outdoor furniture is less than desirable. A beer was $8 and the drinks were iffy. We did get some cool pictures but probably wouldn’t go back. The music they were playing definitely wasn’t the style of our 25-28 year old group. Wish we would have had a better experience.
We waited on the line for more than 1 hour and as soon as we got to the door one of the security/managers says you can only enter if you buy a bottle…. While others were getting inside by bribing the security/manager… if I book a table I dont need to wait 1 hr… I highly recommend to avoid this place…
Great views, good food. Drinks on the rooftop will be nice in the summer!
Short guy with glasses and comb over tries to rip you off at the door
This was my first visit to Mr Purple since COVID. I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday. Honestly, the service was mostly terrible. When we arrived, the host was very friendly and gave us a great table (had a reservation). Upon seating, we waited 20 minutes to get our drinks ordered. We had to flag someone down, who was not our server. Our first drinks were yummy (casa margs). Second round was terrible, all lime no tequila. Food was mediocre. The fries were great, his burger was all grease. -_- better luck next time?
Very cool spot. Good vibes and gets busy in the downtown area. Definitely worth a trip for some fun and drinks on a rooftop.
We went to Mr. Purple with a party of 7 on Friday night. We knew going into our reservation that there was a $100 minimum spend for each person in the party. We had the table from 9pm until close (12am), and were told last call was at 11:30pm. This would not have been a problem, except the service was SO slow. It took around half an hour to even order our first round of drinks/food, and it took another 15 minutes for our order to arrive. It seemed as if they did not want us to meet our minimum spend total. At midnight, the lights came on and we were forced to leave immediately, even though our last round of drinks had just arrived. The drinks were strong and the food was decent, but the poor service ruined our experience.
On June 7th at 5:20 PM I called the place to make a reservation for 2 and I was told that walk-in’s are welcome, so no reservation was done. Same day at 9:30 PM I went to the place with my out of State guest, at the door I was told reservation needed and we weren’t let in. When I told the situation the host was not helpful, not understanding and did not offer any solution. No explanation was done. Our night was ruined. I’m so disappointed because there is such a nice view but awful management.
Love the pool in the summer. Dress code is enforced. Pricey drinks. But I love the view from the rooftop.
Some of the best views of the city from the lower east side. The dual bar setup (indoor/outdoor) is perfect. Definitely try the frozen margaritas.
Unreal views at this LES rooftop bar. Drinks are pricey but there was no cover when we went (Sunday night) so the views made up for the $19 drink.
Got turned away because of a dress code despite no mention on the website
Phenomenal views. Happy, upbeat crowd/vibe. Two nice rooftop patio areas.
Great cocktail optionsPretty good vibe on a weekday
The one star is for the views. Had a terrible experience with this place. Rude Staff. We had a table, ordered food and drinks. We were told it’s a $375 minimum!!! Closed the bill at 250$, was charged 375$ and Managemnt added a 75$ on mandatory tip🤦♂️..!!Never again
Great view, great food, and fast service!
Incredible views, free entry. Very friendly staff, thoroughly enjoyed my visits.Drinks arent too badly priced, although $4 for a small glass of cola was a little pricey.The open rooftop views are incredible. Along with a heated pool that while I didnt get to try out, in warmer days must be wonderful.Overall 5 stars. Definitely recommend.
Very cool and hip rooftop bar with an awesome view of the skyline. Drink menu is assorted and fairly priced.Security guy needs to relax though. Literally yelling at people for no reason. The waiters and servers were way nicer lol
Awesome the manager was very cautious of everyone and everything going on! There COVIC cautious great 100%. U do have to leave ur credit card to order drinks and food which are well worth it! The attuides and manager were very nice and great hostess nice waitress she came to the table on going I did not have to look for her! The prices are great as well as the food you wont be disappointed. And dont forget the view Awesome!
After waiting on a long line!Then one of the staff came out talking very arrogantly; saying each table will have only 4 people for $500!As a first time customer; was horrible experience enough to give one star review!If theres worse review less one star; I would give it right away!
Definitely much better than I thought. Everything was top of the notch and couldnt believe the heaven of a place I was in !!!! Very beautiful, classy, and definitely a place where Id like to stay for hours ♥️
Awesome rooftop with great cocktails & bears. Can get crowded
Nice place. It has an incredible view of the city. There’s also a pool - great hang out spot for the summer time. The music was good. The drinks were good. The crowd is typical for LES, which is different than in the village or meatpacking or midtown.
Me. Purple has one of the best views of the city for a bar! The drinks are pricey but tasty. I recommend The Mr. Purple! While this bar is one of my favorites, you definitely need to get there towards the beginning of the night. On the weekends during the summer, I’d say around 10pm the wait starts getting way too long to be worth the stay! There have been times we’ve waited 45+ minutes and still not got in so just get there early and you’ll be fine!
The layout of the rooftop is clumsy and strange.You are served in plastic wine glasses and plastic tableware.Service is good. Views are nice if you sit in a good spot.But food really was not worth the money AT ALL, just drinks is probably more appropriate for this place. Seating is not the most comfortable to eat in either. Pricey spot!
Always fun, a bit expensive and the bartenders are never friendly. The food is simple but good too.
Great view. Ok drinks. Bright lights in the elevator
Amazing view of the city from the rooftop bar!
Great views and cool ambience, as should be expected from a rooftop bar. Had to wait in line for about 10 minutes on a summer Saturday night. There is no cover but there is a posted dress code on their website. Two different outdoor sections to enjoy. We had to wait for drinks and they werent that good but the experience made it worth it. Would come back if Im in the LES!
TOO NOISY!! Music is way too loud. Good vibe does not mean LOUD! Only mediocre DJ would use volume to creat vibe
Ah where to start - staying at this establishment (review of which is fairly similar) it is clear this place is all about the hype and zero substance.Am all for paying $18+ tip for a cocktail, when that cocktail isn’t piss sugar water which this was. Not sure what we paid for?!?Service wasn’t great and atmosphere meh. Much better rooftops throughout Manhattan with better drinks and a view to match. Spend your dollar there.
Abraham was the best bathroom attendant he was so kind and considerate made the line go faster highly recommend. He is really the best, deserves the most.
I enjoyed celebrating my friends birthday here. Rooftop had great views with pool, very spacious. Food and drinks were great. Staff was nice. Would recommend.
Had a blast. Beautiful sunset views, saw a double rainbow, nice breeze and great music. Stayed at the hotel so we hung out in the pool for a bit (closes at 7pm & hence the plastic glassware people seem to be complaining about lol). It was nice to have poolside service. The girls were busy but we eventually got our drinks with a smile. We chatted with lots of friendly random people enjoying the rooftop too which made for a fun night! We stayed the entire evening!
Amazing views of NYC. Fantastic cocktails too.
Nothing beats the view here! lots of outdoor space!
Our first NYC rooftop experience at night. It was amazing. The view is great ( Empire State and WTC) and the crowd is nice ( not too fancy, but neat and outgoing). The doorman told me and my BF we had to wait for about 1 hour, but 5 min later we were told we can come in and skip the line!! Drinks are reasonable, I dont think you can drink cheaper on a rooftop this nice :) Music was also great!
Great bar, awesome music, really good cocktails, very nice rooftop views. Only problem is bartenders can be a bit stuck up and primarily cater to female clientele before considering others. Nonetheless one of the best bars in LES.
The place is nice, but not with the overpriced “Mac Donald’s burgers” they served and the plastic bag appetizer. Kind of disappointing, specially in COVID times when you are required to order food with drinks. IN URGENT need to improve their menu!
Stopped by here on a Sunday afternoon and it wasnt too crowded which was nice. Great rooftop bar with plenty of space. Service was lacking if you get a table, but probably best to be just to roam around. They have a downstairs level where the bathroom is with lots of lounge seats if you want to sit down and relax. Good place to check out if youre in the area. Heard it hes crowded on some days though.

2022-03-23Had a wonderful time at this bar. We went there on a Sunday night (reserved a table ahead of time) and it was the perfect balance between a lively atmosphere and being able to have your own space. The staff is also great and helpful (although a little understaffed but that’s probably bc of covid). I especially appreciated the guard downstairs who was very kind. The snacks were also yummy.The only thing I was a little disappointed with were the drinks, we tried a couple of the specialty cocktails and they simply weren’t that great.Overall, wonderful experience and I definitely recommend this place (book a table ahead of time).

2022-06-09Found out about this place by accident as we were early to a reservation by the lower east side. The best thing about this place has to be the view. The drinks and atmosphere are alright, but on the pricey side. Would recommend checking it out if your in the area.

2022-02-22We reserved a table for a birthday and mr purple didn’t disappoint. The server was incredibly nice and attentive. I’m somewhat sure we ordered all of their specialty cocktails. U must try the chai
Review №4
2021-11-21One of the most popular rooftop bars in the city with stunning views of NYC and the energetic dance music. The vibe in this place at 5 pm is better than some clubs at midnight.

2021-12-30Cocktails are delicious. The Chai-Town was my favourite.Vibe was also super cool and the outdoor patio has a beautiful view.
Review №6
2021-08-28You can’t beat the view at this place. My only complaint is they had 4 bartenders for EVERYONE - for parties sitting down at tables and people standing at the bar. This made it near impossible to get a drink (took 45 min), which kinda ruins the purpose of going to a bar. They should have a seperate bar making drinks for the tables. The view was phenomenal though and the overall ambience/design of the place is great. There was no cover when we went but we did have to wait in line for a while to get in.

2022-05-15Nice rooftop bar with decent views. It however can get extremely loud as it is rather a party rooftop location than a laid back bar
Review №9
2022-05-28It was quite loud and so crowded there was no place to walk or stand. The pool and views were incredible though.The staff was friendly and not pretentious which was also nice. Overall a pretty fun chilled place but can get very crowded and loud.

2022-04-26Amazing service? Amazing bar? Amazing view?? Corey and Charles gave us the best. I felt like I was on top of the world. I cant wait to see Mr.Purple in the summer. I recommend LES spirtz and Aphrodite for your cocktails. Smooth and dangerous !♡
