The Roof

at PUBLIC

The Roof At PUBLIC is one of the most exciting venues in all of Manhattan. The PUBLIC – a hotel by Ian Schrager – is sandwiched between New York’s Lower Manhattan and Lower East Side, near to the Rockwood Music Hall and the Sara D. Roosevelt Park. Thanks to its location and design, guests can get a panoramic view of New York, able to see not only the World Trade Center and Midtown, but also the Staten Island Bridge, East River, and part of Long Island. Designers of the Roof at PUBLIC created it in such a way that guests would feel as if they were floating above the city like ghosts, disconnected from the hustle and bustle below. 

The Roof boutique bar is open both during the day and at night and attracts some of the biggest names in international DJing from across the world. The bar is one of the sexiest venues in New York. It provides areas where guests can mingle, either standing or seated on one of the many outdoor sofas. 

The bar is open from 5 PM onwards on weeknights until the early hours, and from 4 PM at the weekend, making it a great place to gather for sunset cocktails in the spring, summer, and fall. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout mean that if you decide to stay inside, you never find yourself wanting for a better view.
