A+ Roof Bar tops The Parc Hotel with a partially open-air rooftop that looks out over Citi Field, LaGuardia traffic, and the Flushing skyline. It’s a casual rooftop hangout where hotel guests, Mets fans, and neighborhood groups share cocktails, fries, and skewers before or after games and events.

What makes it special: Hotel rooftop bar known for skyline views, pre-game drinks, and skewers.
Who should go: Friends meeting before Mets games or events nearby.
When to visit: Evenings before first pitch or sunset for views.
What to order: House Special Combo, fried skewers combo, fries with cocktails.
Insider tip: Time your visit around happy hour to soften cocktail prices while enjoying the same views.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Hotel garage and nearby paid lots along College Point Boulevard; street parking is limited on game days and often tight after 5pm.
Dress code: Smart casual; jeans and sneakers are fine, but many groups lean slightly dressy for rooftop photos.
Noise level: Moderate to loud, especially before Mets games and on warm weekends; conversations are possible but not intimate.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes when there’s a home game or event; shorter if you arrive before sunset.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, though rooftop opens later in the day and draws an after-work crowd rather than lunch traffic.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: A few shareable items like fries and some skewers can work, but options are limited.
Vegan options: Very limited; expect only basic sides to qualify.
Gluten-free options: Some skewers and cocktails are workable, but there is no dedicated gluten-free process.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual, energetic meetups than intimate dates; the rooftop views add appeal, but noise and game-day crowds make it less ideal for quieter conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes — seating is first-come, first-served. Arrive early on Mets game days to secure a spot before pre-game rush.
Is it kid-friendly? Generally not ideal for young kids due to bar-focused service, evening crowds, and rooftop energy; teens may be fine earlier in the evening with adult supervision.
Best For
Better for: Pre-game drinks, skyline views, and casual group meetups where the goal is social energy rather than fine dining.
Consider Alternatives If: You want a quiet dinner, robust food selection, or strong dietary accommodations — consider downstairs restaurants or other sit-down spots in Flushing instead.
