Where Rooftop93 appears on New York Dearest

It's on 2 of my lists. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

  • Cost$15-$18 per cocktail
  • Address93 Bowery, New York, NY 10002
  • From my guide, updated February 2024.

While it may not be the newest or trendiest rooftop bar on the Lower East Side, Rooftop93 consistently provides a memorable experience. I initially started frequenting it years ago for their happy hour, which unfortunately didn’t return after the pandemic. However, even without the happy hour, the drinks remain reasonably priced compared to other LES rooftop bars (around $15-$18 per cocktail).

Rooftop93 is also home to some of the friendliest bartenders in the neighborhood. The laid-back atmosphere encourages easy small talk at the bar, giving it a VIP feel. I’ve brought numerous friends here, especially those from out of town, and they can never leave without taking photos of the views. The views, drinks, and vibe are solid, earning Rooftop93 a spot among the best Lower East Side rooftop bars.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
