Midtown, Theater District Outdoor Drinks and Entertainment

Outdoor bars in the Theater District and Midtown are a great way to enjoy the warm weather. But who has the best happy hour? The best drinks? The best views? We're here to help you figure that out. There are other reasons to brave this area besides Hamilton. You’ll find bars for the after-work, happy hour crowd and plenty of elegant, rooftop lounges where you can sip martinis high above the craziness that is New York City.
