Rooftop At Exchange Place - Jersey City

Additionally, the balcony that surrounds the venue has several planks that are not only wobbly but also broken, creating a safety hazard. Toward the end of the evening, the same bartender who refused to remake my drink started slamming items around in a childish attempt to intimidate us into leaving. Meanwhile, another staff member seemed completely unaware of the atmosphere when fireworks went off in the distance. As patrons moved to see them, she decided to close the balcony doors at that exact moment. When people expressed their frustration, her response was that we could simply look through the glass. Nothing about this place made sense. It presents itself as high-end with its prices and ambiance but delivers a very disappointing experience. There is no legal parking nearby, and the kitchen closes at 11 PM. I do not recommend this venue unless you enjoy feeling disappointed and encountering rude service.

Ariana, the hostess at this rooftop bar, was outstanding. Her warm welcome and friendly demeanor created the ideal atmosphere for a lovely evening. We were particularly thankful for her help in securing future reservations for our friends' visit. The venue boasted stunning views and an impressive happy hour menu featuring delicious food and drinks. Although there was a minor mix-up with our bar tab due to similar last names with other patrons, Melissa promptly resolved the issue with a cheerful attitude. We also enjoyed sharing our experience with their amiable manager, Jude. Overall, we had a fantastic time and genuinely appreciated the excellent service at this establishment.

This is a great spot to enjoy a view of the city. They serve drinks until midnight, but be aware that the last call for food is around 9:45 PM. I would rate the drinks a 7 out of 10, but your opinion may vary. The ambiance is what you'd expect from an upscale bar, featuring dim lighting and pop music. The venue offers both indoor and outdoor seating, complete with a fireplace. On a Thursday night at 10 PM, it wasn't busy at all, which might explain why the staff seemed more focused on chatting in a corner rather than clearing away the empty glasses that had been sitting there for some time. Overall, I would return; however, I would prefer to visit the restaurant first for a romantic dinner with a view of the New York skyline, and then head up to the rooftop for drinks afterward.

Christian, the best bartender, is always the best service. I have had a plethora of cosmos at bars throughout Jersey and his is always perfect and he has even put me on to a cosmo with a raspberry twist on it. Can’t wait to continue enjoying the view with great drinks and my friends for the rest of the summer.

My husband and I decided to go here off of the suggestion of a friend for brunch on 8/6. And we were not disappointed. The place was amazing and so was our view. Our server Jennifer was just great! We had the po’ boy sliders and mimosas, food was so good. Looking forward to going back for the service and food.
