The DL Best Rooftop Lounge NYC

This is probably one of the worst places I’ve ever gone. I bought tickets for an event and upon arriving to the venue, a large crowd of frat kids began cutting everyone in the line and it was apparently tolerated because they paid for tables. Everyone that had been there prior had to wait in line for 45 minutes while these obnoxious kids were prioritized. The vibe was basically equivalent to a giant frat party with 90% of the crowd being men and the people that worked there were rude. If you’re a person of color, don’t even bother going here unless you book a table and have a large amount of guests coming with you, because I promise you’ll feel uncomfortable otherwise. I’ve never gone to a worse place in LES on a Friday night. Not worth the money even in the slightest.

It was very basic. They shouldn’t have a cover fee because the place isn’t even lit… it’s cute inside for photos I guess

Terrible staff. Power hungry males who do the most all for 15 dollars an hour. I would’ve put negative 8 stars if that was an option. Save your money kings and queen and go somewhere else. There’s this really cool spot across the street from the DL that I highly recommend.

Omg where do I start. Absolutely one of the dirtiest, most ratchet place I’ve ever been, I was there for 2 hours and saw 4 different girls throw up directly on the floor, and no one come to clean it, everyone was just stepping in it and tracking it around. The second floor was so packed, there was no air flow and the whole floor smelled like body odor. The top floor was also so packed you couldn’t move and were constantly being pushed. The whole demo of this place is 21 year olds who are just trying to get as drunk and sloppy as possible. I would never go back here even if you paid me. A total waste of a night.

Stupid large cover, bouncers change their mind for lower cover options only when you're leaving and don't bring them up to start

First thing is the hour of operation is wrong. It stated they were open to 4am not that they close at 9pm and reopen at 11pm. We got tickets online just to arrive to wait for an hour. The dress code stated to dress up but we waiting in line for hours in heels. Then the second level Dj played soco, reggae all night. The third level Dj music was ok but there is no sitting room at all. If you here visiting then I recommend going somewhere else

The absolute worst service I have ever had. We reserved a table for 20 people, and it took one hour for the bottle service to arrive. The entire staff was consistently aggressive and rude. They would not let one member of our group in because they rejected his real ID and refused to recheck it. They also threatened to kick us out for asking them to recheck it (one time…so pleasant) Would recommend any other bar in NY to spend your money at.

Awesome spot for drinks that turns into a bar/club on the weekends at night. I would recommend getting their early as they start charging a cover around 10pm.

Long line, PACKED! Need to have tickets, I bought mine online. Not enough space to dance unless your in VIP. Nice drinks

I gave a star bc it's necessary to write the review. The female bartender was horrible. She was very nasty, rude and unprofessional. However the rest was a five star. Music, venue and the vibe on point. Great place without that bartender.

Definitely cool vibes. Definitely for the younger crowd, but if you are older and you just want to chill and listen to some vibes they have free seating downstairs with a bar you can enjoy. If you want to party then pay the cover and go on up and have a good time. The hostess downstairs where you pay was not the friendliest, but everyone has their days, maybe the day we went just wasn't hers.

Terrible party hosting. Really do not reccomend. Do not do it I'm telling you. They put their hands on women at the door. It's crazy.

No covid precautions. Food was horrible. I got 3 mini sliders on Hawaiian buns and less fries than you get from $1 fries at McDonald’s. I paid $45 + tax for brunch at the door and $5 reservation online and they had no where for us to sit. We got set up on wooden tables Great party scene drinks were good.

I was having a great experience for the fourth of july event i paid tickets for. Long wait but seemed worth it. About an hour in I wanted to step outside & saw many people leave and come back in. We asked two bouncers if we left, would we be able to enter again and they said of course. Left for not even 10 minutes and suddenly a male bouncer isn’t letting me in because of my yeezy sandals, calling them “house shoes”, which i find discriminatory considering i saw many sandals more flat than mine. Then it goes from my shoes being a problem to all of a sudden there’s no re-entry. I will never come here again and had way more fun next door at the oyster bar.

Very nice and clean, good music great vibe. I wasn't to excited about the food but the music and environment cover for that.

So this was a horrible experience. The hostess and manager were telling us to leave before we even got in.they did not care. They were offering refunds before trying to even offer the services promised. We paid for a 2 hour open bar that's was offered from 6-10 pm and then they told us oh no it only goes till 8: 30 and NO ONE was wearing their masks and therewas definitely not 6 ft between tables. People were all over us without masks and when we approached the front desk she dismissed us saying it was a brunch and we were being ridiculous not letting her talk. Overall a horrible experience we left as soon as we could. DO NOT COME HERE!
