Dear Irving on The Hudson is situated on the 40th and 41st floors of the Aliz Hotel in Times Square. While primarily indoors, the Manhattan rooftop. The 41st floor exudes a luxurious feel, while the 40th floor offers comfortable seating inside and out, great for groups.
If you snag a seat on the east side of the bar, you’ll capture glimpses of the vibrant lights of Times Square. While the west side treats you to views of Hudson Yards and the southern skyline. Drinks at Dear Irving typically cost around $19 each, which I wish I could gripe about, but they’re actually quite good. Expect top-notch drinks crafted from classic recipes with a modern twist, using fresh ingredients.
Locals Tip. This Manhattan rooftop bar offers cocktail courses! You and a friend can sign up for a 90-minute course on any of the numerous cocktail classes available for $250. You can expect to learn about the history of unique cocktails, get a lesson how to mix them, and, of course, taste the results.
