Rooftops are typically a seasonal indulgence in the big apple, but STK Downtown keeps the fun going year-round with its swanky rooftop lounge. STK Rooftop is located in the trendy meatpacking district, just a few feet from several designer shops and hot art galleries. Just below the rooftop lounge is STK Downtown, a chic steakhouse with attitude to spare. The dining room is lush and romantic with ambient lighting and modern furnishings. In addition to the rooftop and dining room areas, the venue also offers private rooms that can be reserved for your special events. We stopped by STK Rooftop on a warm Summer evening a few years ago. We were impressed with its chic decor, easy-going vibe and delicious edibles. We dropped by a few nights ago to take advantage of their weeknight special known as “Classic Hour”.
Classic hour occurs Monday-Friday from 6pm-8pm guests the bar can enjoy classic cocktails and sliders for $10. The sliders are some of the best in the city and are made with an assortment of proteins. One of our favorites was the shrimp slider which featured a fried jumbo shrimp drizzled with a delectable sweet and sour sauce. While enjoying our tasty sliders we drowned our sorrows with a round of cocktails. The beverages offered in the weekday special include Dry Martinis, Gin Gimblets, Manhattans, and Cosmopolitans. The refreshing cocktails are all expertly prepared by the in-house mixologists. The Cosmo is hands down our favorite option and a must-have when visiting.
In addition to Classic Hour, STK Rooftop also has several seasonal events and other weekly specials. One of the next big events will be a grand super bowl party on February 7th. Why spend the night at home when you can watch the game in one of the city’s trendiest lounges. For a flat rate, guests can enjoy open bar priveledges and an amazing buffet of game-day favorites. For a weeknight treat, you can stop by for “Lip Service” a fun evening of half-priced champagne and beats by Kasey Berry. We enjoyed our visit to STK Rooftop and look forward to a fabulous year of new specials and events to attend. For reservations and info on upcoming events click here.
