Martin Brudnizki Design Studio's 50th-floor 2022 rooftop for The Ritz-Carlton NoMad—curved arches, mosaic tilework, terracotta and cobalt—gives José Andrés' cocktail programme a Mediterranean warmth at altitude, with 270-degree views making it one of New York's most visually spectacular rooftop bars.
Perched atop the Ritz-Carlton New York in the vibrant NoMad neighborhood, Nubeluz is not just a bar; it's an experience that encapsulates the essence of New York City. With a solid rating of 4 stars from over 1,000 reviews, this upscale rooftop lounge beckons both locals and tourists with its breathtaking views of the Empire State Building and the sprawling skyline of Manhattan. The atmosphere is chic yet inviting, making it an ideal spot for a romantic evening or a celebratory night out with friends.
Guests rave about the magical ambiance, especially during sunset when the city is bathed in golden hues. The intimate outdoor space, while limited, offers an unparalleled vantage point to soak in the sights. As Sawako Y notes, the views are simply incredible, and the energy of the space can be electric, especially on weekends. While the cocktails, priced between $25 to $30, might seem steep, they are crafted with creativity and elegance, ensuring a memorable drinking experience. The Melon Cloud, for example, not only tantalizes the taste buds but also captivates with its theatrical presentation involving swirling smoke from dry ice.
Nubeluz is open daily, with hours extending late into the night, allowing guests to linger and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. The attentive service complements the sophisticated setting, further enhancing the overall experience. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to impress a date, Nubeluz promises an unforgettable evening filled with delectable drinks, stunning views, and an ambiance that truly embodies the spirit of New York City.
Elevate your night at Nubeluz, NYC's chic rooftop bar with stunning skyline views and crafted cocktails.
