Wonderful experience!! Hubby and I got there when they opened to set up for a mini surprise family birthday party. The staff was amazing! The friendly and attentive bar manager (please forgive me, I forgot his name!) came over to introduce himself and made us feel completely at home. Our server for the evening, Jessica, was phenomenal! She was such a ray of sunshine, friendly, attentive, patient, just lovely. The food was perfect, we got a bunch of delicious appetizers and Jessica kept the drinks flowing without having to grab her attention. The music was appropriate, not too loud, and our fellow patrons were considerate of each other as well. And of course, you can’t forget about the beautiful view, which doesn’t need a review or description! A wonderful evening made even better by the wonderful staff. Can’t wait to return!!

My visit to Zulu Time Rooftop Bar and Lounge was an absolute delight from start to finish. If you're looking for a laid-back, scenic place to enjoy great food, drinks, and company, this spot checks all the boxes. First of all, the location and atmosphere are unbeatable. Perched right on the rooftop, the bar offers a stunning view overlooking the Hudson River — it's especially beautiful during sunset. There’s ample seating, including both tables and comfy lounge chairs, so you can really relax and take in the vibe. It never felt overcrowded or cramped, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Now let’s talk about the food — wow! We ordered the buffalo wings, Caesar salad, and pretzel bites, and every dish exceeded expectations. The wings were perfectly crispy with just the right amount of heat, the Caesar salad was fresh and well-dressed, and the pretzel bites were soft, warm, and paired with a fig mustard dipping sauce that was honestly out of this world. It added such a unique twist and was one of the highlights of the night. Our server, Caitlin, was another standout. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive without ever being intrusive. She anticipated our needs, made great menu recommendations, and genuinely added to the positive atmosphere. And let’s not forget — she makes an amazing margarita. Perfectly balanced and so refreshing, it was hands-down one of the best I’ve had in a long time. Overall, Zulu Time offers a wonderful mix of chill rooftop vibes, quality service, and flavorful food and drinks. Whether you're meeting up with friends, going on a casual date, or just looking for a cool place to unwind after work, this spot is a solid choice. I highly recommend Zulu Time to anyone in the area or visiting — you won’t be disappointed. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

They are off to a great start! They implemented a new ordering system through your phone with food to be delivered directly your table, and I believe this is a huge improvement! Still need to work the kinks with making drink timing work in this system, but overall it was a vast improvement from the past service experience. The new cocktails in food on the menu are awesome! Spicy margarita was great and Tina poke was delicious. The new servers were great! I’m excited for the rest of summer at Zulu!

We are from Savannah, GA to visit family. We went to the rooftop....Cassidy was on it! We did more of an "a la cart" and got wings, oysters, ribs and fries. EVERYTHING was so good. The blood orange margarita was great too!!! Wanted duck tacos but it wasn't on their menu, which is ok.
