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.

We are currently accepting reservations up to 30 days in advance but walk-ins are welcome pending availability.

    Everything was great except I felt like I was being held hostage when asking for the check. I asked and the server said ok, but never came back. I tried to flag her down, I tried to flag down the guy cleaning the tables also, but for some reason I guess my friend and I were invisible that Sunday afternoon. No it wasn't busy, but it was just really weird how no one would bring me check; and I waited over 30 mins for it But as soon as I stood up and put my coat on someone came over and apologized for not bringing my check Overall, the food was good, place was nice, but if you're on a time schedule it might not be the place to go

    Traveled to NYC from out of town to celebrate with friends at The Ready Rooftop. Making a reservation was easy, and the polite and accommodating staff made sure our group had everything we needed. Great views, great service and great memories in NYC!

    We were ignored when we got off the elevator. The man at the top actually rolled his eyes at us. When we did get seated the only option to order was to use your phone. However for 3 of us the site wasn’t working. The table next to us was having the same trouble. So we went to the bar. I asked a lady behind the bar if we could order and she said, “Of course you are welcome to order at the bar”. Then she walked away. She was, in fact, behind the bar. So we moved down to a man behind the bar who ignored us for 5 minutes. We left and went to a delightful restaurant nearby. Overpriced, uppity, and overrated.

    Doesn't feel like a hotel rooftop bar but definitely one of my go-to's. Tacos are *shockingly* good, probably due to the homemade tortillas. Very fun vibe and everyone who works there is super friendly.

    We made a reservation for a large group but were not given space for everyone. When asking the staff for a switch in table, they told us we couldn’t be switched to accommodate the other reservation. Overall, not an accommodating experience. Thank goodness the ambiance was good!

    I like the vibe, the food was good street food in cardboard trays with few choices. It took forever to get half the drink order and the plastic glass was dirty/gritty. The waitress was not having a good day.

    Dear, I misvalue the service because I have duplicate charges on my mastercard credit card. Last night I only had two drinks, one for $21.78 and the other for $17.42. However, I have four additional charges that do not correspond, two for USD 20.72 each and two for USD 25.78 each. All those charges are erroneous and do not correspond. Please month I ask to review and comment. Thanks. Gerardo Edwards

    Great place to hang out. The 3 stars for food was only the menu itself. Wish it had more food choices. This place is a great spot for drinks as well. Lots of great choices. Bright and airy. Great views. Roof closes if it rains or is too cold.

    This weekend was the quietest I’ve ever seen. Drink and food are always good but the MUSIC smh. Hot mess. We did ask for a top 40’s playlist or something but we were told they have no control. Which sucks. Maybe have a DJ on the weekends. MUSIC is really important at a rooftop.

    Scene feels touristy, not local. Drink options are not great. Canned wine only and very overpriced. Bartenders were very good and fast. Tacos were good. Door guy was awful, was treating a 6 PM roof top happy hour like going to Marquis at 2 AM in 2004. Searching bags and commenting on what's in them? Asking everyone if they were carrying mace? Bizarre. Overall, it's definitely clear this is a Tao owned place.. would have been cool 15 years ago.

    Evening is highly recommended. Shaded tables are super limited so you will fry like an egg, and it ain’t great. $1 tacos are on a very hard, tasteless corn shell. Priced appropriately. Margs are fantastic.

    We used to go for happy hour every Friday and enjoyed catching up with friends and talking about the week but last week we arrived to a full on club situation instead of a fun happy hour environment. The music was so unbelievably loud we couldn’t hear each other even when speaking directly into each other’s ears. We resorted to texting each other instead and left to a different bar where we could actually talk. When we requested they turn down the music volume they said people talking was too loud so that’s why they turned up the music but the only reason people were having to shout is because of the volume. Disappointed because we really loved being there under normal circumstances. Hope they go back to normal volume.

    This places is super cool, with great music and ambience. However, there was a very rude guy working for the place who first asked us to leave our table when we had a reservation, never apologized for it he said like ok I’ll check and then was taking our food when we were still eating. So made us feel very uncomfortable and decided to leave. Other than that a great place to have a good time on Friday night
