We went for my boyfriends birthday and they welcomed us warmly. Gave us complimentary sparkling wine (we were hotel guests) the touch was really appreciated. Loved the tequila variety. We ordered the eggplant dip which was underwhelming, the bread was stale and the dip was 'meh' left us with horrendous garlic breath. The space was chick and had a nice vibe. Obviously the views were amazing -> Empire State building. would recommend and go back, without ordering food.

This place has BIG potential. What a great location. First it is difficult to find and then the elevators are painfully slow. The drink service was not good. The bar back helper kept coming over to get our drink orders. What the heck it was quicker. It this place was managed better it could be a go to spot. The drinks and food (apps) were awesome.

Bar Cima it’s a Gorgeous open air oasis bar on the 28th floor of Grayson hotel, open to the public at 4 PM. The energy is calm and welcoming, and the many variety of exquisite drinks will relax you after a long week. My friend and I order Tanlines, Spicy Mezcal and Oaxacan old fashion. The guacamole and chips were delicious. The Sunset is absolutely dazzling to see, making this a very special rooftop gem for date night or girls night.

The speaker outside was broken, we paid 40$ a drink for the type of quality cocktails you could get at a dive bar, we had to go inside to get out server just to order a drink. If you can imagine the epitome of over expensive drinks within a mediocre setting with bad service, you are imagining bar cima. My group is guilty of seeing social media videos and believing this was a new and hip place to hang out, and my god were we wrong. Would advise anyone thinking of coming here to give this place a few more weeks to figure out how to adjust.

We had an outdoor table booked for the nicest day in a while. I did not hear until I showed to the outdoor terrace that it was closed for a private event. I should have been notified ahead of time or at least offered a free drink.

Well, Bar Cima may be open, but it's kinda sad right now. They have zero food. Which is weird because there is a restaurant downstairs. They could at least make bar snacks. The drink I had was fine, but for how much they billed themselves as a temple to mezcal, it was nothing spectacular. Tasted like things I've had a thousand places. And it was on the specialty menu and the waitress said it was amazing when she suggested it because what I had originally ordered they were out of. It was good but by no means remotely amazing. I can say the view indoors or out is spectacular. The indoors is beautifully designed. I get they just opened, but if they want to stay opened, they need to up their game. I'm going to hit "yes" to "would you recommend Bar Cima to a friend" but I would only recommend it for the view... and I would add a few caveats to the recommendation.

We were expecting great service from them but it wasn’t. We arrived and waited to be seated. After, no waitress/host looked our way. We had to call them to attend to us. They brought water, which these could have asked if we wanted tap water or bottle water, rather brought bottle water. They were short of menus, meaning the waitress had to look for one. We sat there for more than 20 minutes and no one asked what we wanted. This is very sad experience considering it’s a new place. My friend and I left to a different restaurant.

The great: THE ROOTOP VIEWS The bad: Not to blame the servers because they did what they could, but there were only 2 waitresses for a pack patio. Drinks were just ok - for $20 dollar drink would have hoped to have presalted glasses for the margaritas. I knew going in there would be no food but I assumed they would be at least some light bites - there was none. Not even guac and chips left at 6:30 when we got there.

Made a reservation in advance for indoor seating but what was that for? When my party got there we were told there were no tables available at all. The explanation from the hostess was pretty vague as well. Thank god the beautiful rooftop scenery or else we would’ve escaped quickly. Very upset about this first time experience.

from all the reviews i was expecting something really different but this place is just ok. the drinks were good but overpriced. it was oddly quiet when we first arrived at 5 and didn’t start to pick up until after 7 (maybe because they open at 4 but google has the wrong hours listed) but even then it wasn’t super lively and serviced slowed down a ton once they had a decent crowd. they have chips and guacamole available as the only food item. the guacamole was good but the chips were so stale you could chip a tooth. the bathroom was a wreck, one out of order, one clogged, locks didn’t work. i can’t see myself ever going back or recommending this place but the staff was nice and the views were good.

Soon you get out of elevator it’s loud, I did not expect it to be that loud based on the ambience and decor, but it was,(as loud as a buffalo wing wings) Our server was having a bad night, she was not the most helpful in terms of recommending drinks or explaining items on menu. But the view is amazing and the setting low light very good. We just had a drink each and left. Overall won’t recommend it 2.9/5
