Atop the Archer Hotel, Spyglass Rooftop Bar is a throwback to another era. The rooftop bar is a contemporary interpretation of the classic sophistication and luxury reminiscent of 1940s and 1950s glamour in New York. But while Spyglass is a hotspot for some of the city’s most fashionable events, it’s also a comfortable escape for New Yorkers. Experience the breathtaking panoramic views, it’s got one of the best views of the Empire State Building, while enjoying small bites and crafted cocktails.
