About this restaurant

Located in the heart of the East Village at the top of the Moxy East Village The Ready is an all-season rooftop oasis perfect for after-work drinks, weekend revelry and private events. Collegial yet refined, The Ready at Moxy East Village feels like an escape from the New York daily grind. The eclectic décor (string lights, a vine-strewn mural, a bar made of plastic milk crates) and unique food and beverage offerings create a relaxed rooftop experience—like a coveted New York City backyard. The retractable glass walls and roof allow for all-season panoramic views of the East Village and beyond.

    I rarely leave bad reviews, but this place absolutely deserves it. I booked my birthday celebration here, expecting a good night with friends. The staff completely ruined it. My friends arrived at 10:28 PM — two minutes before the posted last entry time of 10:30 PM — and were rudely denied entry. When I politely explained it was my actual birthday and asked if they could make an exception, the staff member didn’t just say no — he shouted at me in front of everyone and even threatened to kick me out. I was genuinely shocked by how aggressive and unprofessional he was. It was so bad I started to have a panic attacked to which the bouncer only shouted more. This was supposed to be a special night, and instead it turned into the worst dining/bar experience I’ve ever had. I would never recommend this place to anyone. If you're looking for a venue with basic courtesy or respect for customers, look elsewhere. Total disappointment.

    Was very unhappy with my experience at this venue. We made a reservation for 2 hours a month ago for a party of 10 with the deposit fee and was told less than 24 hours before they could no longer honor our RSVP. Called to speak with someone about this issue and was told I could only show up earlier, no refund. Ridiculous and will never be coming back here - the staff was unhelpful over the phone and felt that they could care less about our issue. This venue had no problem screwing us over the day before. Paid the deposit for 2 hours and only got to stay for 45 minutes.

    The food at this bar was very good. It seemed pretty busy so the service was a little delayed but I completely understand that. The DJ/music was quite loud to the point that I could not hear my friends while we were at the table. Nobody was dancing and it wasn’t a dancing vibe on a Wednesday at 6PM so I’m not sure the music needed to be that loud in my opinion.

    Such a fun vibe! The nachos were spicy and delicious, the carne asada taco is SO good, and the hibiscus margaritas were refreshing. The DJ was on point too- will definitely be coming back

    The vibes were good. The only thing I didn’t like the drinks tasted too sweet or you could say it tasted like sugared water.

    I booked a table for 8 people and even confirmed before to make sure that would be fine and there would be enough room. When we showed up, there were people sitting at our table. Totally fine, but we did reserve it. When they moved, there was only two chairs and a bigger chair that fits 3 regularly sized people, max. When asking the host, she said they were too busy and overbooked. Also, drinks cost an arm and a leg. There’s a bunch of other nice rooftop bars in the city that won’t charge $24 for a margarita or $14 for a seltzer. Totally disappointing considering it was a friend’s birthday. Better luck staying home, at least then you’ll get seating.

    Super overpriced , our original waiter was super unhelpful and misinformed but the next waiter who helped us was way more helpful. Very crowded (granted it was cinco de mayo) but desire having a reservation booked two weeks in advance we were squeezed into a very small space. Very inconvenient to have to order via QR code especially when not everything showed up on there.
