Logistics & Planning
Parking: Valet is available at the entrance of Soho Warehouse; street parking is limited and competitive after 6pm in the Arts District.
Dress code: Elevated smart casual; stylish fits are the norm. Swimwear is acceptable only in pool-designated areas.
Noise level: Moderate. Music and rooftop energy create buzz but conversations are still manageable at most tables.
Weekend wait: Typically no wait with a reservation; walk-ins may face 20–40 minutes depending on peak hours and member traffic.
Weekday lunch: Generally no wait, with plenty of terrace seating available.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes. The skyline views, soft lighting, and relaxed-luxe energy make it an ideal setting for a confident yet casual first date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possibly. Members can often walk in during non-peak hours, but sunset and weekend evenings typically require advance booking.
Is it kid-friendly? Not particularly. The rooftop is geared toward adults with a cocktail-forward vibe and poolside lounging; best suited for adults 18+.
Best For
Better for: Skyline views, relaxed-luxe ambience, and an all-day menu that pairs well with cocktails and long hangs.
Skip if: You want a public rooftop, a quiet dinner, or a spot that’s highly accommodating for families or large non-member groups.
