"It's a nice addition to the Manhattan scene, one of the best views of the city even from inside the bar."
"The rooftop and view is absolutely beautiful."
"The panoramic vista of the city skyline is truly breathtaking and worth the visit alone."
"Lovely view, yummy food, and pleasant vibes."
"If you only plan to visit one rooftop bar in the city - make it be The Crown!"
"You can see Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg Bridges - even the Verrazano and 59th Street Bridges."
"The view is so gorgeous and the decor is beautiful too."
Cons:
"The fireworks started, but they were no where to be seen."
"Absolutely overcrowded, they obviously are greedy and don’t care about people’s safety and experiences so they over sell tickets just to make as much money as they can."
"The July 4th party is a LIE."
"The place advertised fireworks party on July 4th but there is no way this place could provide it."
"They ended up being behind the building, because this was not a true rooftop bar, and nobody could see them."
"It was overcrowded, tiny and it's not a rooftop, it's a deck, so the fireworks view was blocked by the building itself."
"You couldn’t see the bridge- well the tiniest corner of the rooftop could, which fitted around 5 people squeezed in together!!!"

"The whole time we were there the staff was extremely inattentive."
"Front of house staff sucks."
