A Classic NYC Bar, 18 Stories Up Set 18 stories high in Soho, JIMMY is one of NYC's first and most beloved rooftops, and features one of the few outdoor pool decks in town. The atmosphere is intimate and refined, with vintage and contemporary furniture and a working fireplace – all surrounded by 14’ windows with panoramic views of Midtown, Wall Street, the Hudson River, and the bridges spanning the East River. The music is cool and conversational-level, but heats up as the hour gets later on weekends. Unlike typical rooftop bars, JIMMY is a year-round destination. In colder months, guests gravitate towards the inside conversation pit – featuring blue and leather velvet modular furniture, sculptural stools, and an eclectic mix of tone-on-tone furniture. In warmer weather, the experience spills onto the roof deck, seamlessly going from daytime chaises to evening cocktail seating with unparalleled city views.
