Sandbar Rooftop - Broad Channel

Such a chill vibe with an amazing view of the Empire State building. I was lucky to be here on the 80 degree day after the 7 rainy weekends in NYC. It could not have been more perfect. Sandbar was not overly crowded which was great. The blue white decor transports you to a happy place. There's limited options for food, but it was very tasty: we ordered a charcuterie board a pizza, both were plentiful delicious. The drinks were strong very tasty (the Bowrider is pictured)! Can't wait to go back! Note: the roof is retractable so the Sandbar is open year round.

Priceless view on the skyline and yes, the Empire, in a quiet environment. Sublime desserts and drinks. Very kind and welcoming staff. Comfy couches and swings. Overall a cool space, partly open air. Perfect for girls night, a romantic date, or drinks with friends. We had the chocolate tart and an IPA, both very good. Fair prices and great quality of ingredients at such magical spot. Must see!

Had an event there. Be aware that the general manager, John, is completely unprofessional. Despite lots of phone calls and planning, we arrived to the event and the staff knew nothing about it. Chaos for about 30” until things could quickly be organized. Don’t take a chance w an important event. Good chance you will suffer an embarrassment. Fortunately, the staff were quick to cover for the incompetent management

The only good thing going for this place is the view. THATS IT! I reserved a several tables that should have accommodated 75 people. When I spoke with Kaya over the phone, she said she was going to take care of my group and help organize. I repeated several times if they could accommodate 75 people in one sitting and they were just fine with it as long as I reserved the tables. That was not followed the day off. Sandbar rooftop gave us tables/seats that could only accommodate no more than 30 people. Everyone else was standing and had no where to sit. The manager was very stingy and didn’t put even a proper music playlist for anyone to enjoy. A violinist also wanted to play a song and the manager was very rude and obnoxious and told her that she isn’t supposed to play any songs on the rooftop. He only let her play a song. I’ll never host anything at this rooftop again. Imagine I went through a full buyout of the place y’all would have ripped me off BIG TIME. Tips wasn’t even deserved.

Had the most amazing 10/10 experience! Can’t wait to go back. Great views, food, drinks and service.
