I adore this place. It seems like a hole in the wall because the location's entrance is subtle but inside and up the stairs there is a decent-sized space and a roof for dinner and drinks. The food selection is Mexican-American-inspired and I approve. Prices are reasonable and there is an AC. Hallelujah!
A Morningside Heights institution. During the academic year, it is definitely a Columbia bar, but during the summer, it is an "everyone" bar. I came her for the first time in 2001 (different world- a few months before 9/11) and it was my birthday. A sultry summer night in June. And even when I didn't live in this neighborhood, I kept coming here in the summer.
I hope to return here again soon. I've been nostalgic.
The Heights is a bar on Upper West Side. Take the 1 train to 110th street stop or 2/3 express train to 96th street stop and walk a few blocks.
The bar takes up two floors, the top floor being the rooftop. The main floor has tall ceilings, tables for those eating and a bar that seats a dozen or so people. Tables are reserved for those who are ordering food. We sat at the bar because we wanted drinks only. The bartender, Raul, is incredibly nice and personable. He brought fresh blueberries and ginger, so he was creating some really summer cocktails that weren't on the menu. There are two TVs and they were nice about changing the channel for us. The rooftop (opens at 4pm) was too hot, so I'd recommend going after the sunsets.
Great place for Happy Hour! They have frozen margaritas (which are pretty strong) for $6. The rooftop (on the 3rd floor) is really great when the weather is nice. Service was welcoming and friendly, and the food was pretty basic bar food (burgers, quesadillas, and some dishes that are unique to the place).
I came here about four years ago and I still remember the deliciousness of their food. I ordered a cobb salad and it was so dang tasty. They put a generous amount of chicken on top. I also thought the restaurant was rather memorable because you go up the stairs onto this half room/open terrace setting. We came during the summer so the weather was just perfect. It was just the perfect restaurant for us to eat at because we got to eat good food and enjoy the fresh air.
Their Happy hour is amazing it's like it's always going on !! But I tried their food and ordered the chicken tacos, the tacos themselves were not too bad however the rice and beans accompanying them… The rice was cold I didn't understand why and the beans looked like they didn't belong.
Besides their ever lasting happy hour this place doesn't have much going on.
We came here for their snowstorm happy hour after the snow ball fight on campus. All staff were friendly, especially our waitress (I think her name was Abby?). We had frozen margarita, wings and chicken enchilada. Margarita was kinda weak and watery, more like juice smoothies. Wings were good, just like the typical bar wings. The enchilada platter was huge, with three rolls, black beans, rice and four sauces. I liked the black beans most. The tortilla wrap was hard and thick though. Overall a 3.5 stars experience.
It is hard to find rooftops uptown, and when you do they are not all good. This one, ROCKS. A great place for happy hour, daytime drinks, or late night fun. The prices are great for a Manhattan bar!! I was able to enjoy the night here with a big group of people and the staff was great at handling us! Defiantly a go to place if you are in the area !!!
