The vibe

A sleek rooftop bar atop the Refinery Hotel with panoramic views of Midtown Manhattan and the Empire State Building glittering above Hell's Kitchen. The crowd is hotel-chic but welcoming, the cocktails are properly crafted, and the sunset views make it one of the most photogenic happy hours in the theater district. Best visited on a clear day when the city skyline earns its keep.
