I was at the Sentry for an engagement party and it was beautiful. The venue was exquisite and the bar had a great, full selection of alcohol and beverage choices. Dark ambiance but staff was friendly. Overall, great vibes for an event, having a drink, or hanging with friends!

Pretty cute place. It’s a little small but they have some good drinks. I didn’t try the food but I thought the ambiance was nice and the service was good too.

Think twice if planning a private party or corporate event, as my experience was that they are unprofessional. And 99% of the time you trust your event to management that is unprofessional, you wind up with unhappy guests. I first contacted them on July 12, looking to plan multiple events (and perhaps an ongoing series of events), some for 30 or 40 people, others that would encompass their entire space on days they are, to my understanding, otherwise closed. The inadequate, in my view, Tripleseat software they use doesn't allow you to express any of that, so you have to hope they reach out to you in a timely manner - an unnecessary waste of time for everyone as one initial email could help both parties determine if they are a fit.Well they did reach out - 19 days later and with nary an apology for the delay. I ignored that against my better judgment and replied to their email, trying to set up a time to connect. Six more days pass before they finally suggest a time to connect by phone - a time when I happen to be returning from vacation in a car with two young children so unfortunately not workable. Literally, any other time would work and I suggest that I can connect at any time later that day or thereafter.More days pass without the courtesy of a simple reply. So I write back again because the reality is if you deal with NYC venues, particularly those nightlife-oriented, 95% of the time you are dealing with similar unprofessionalism; you have to close your eyes to it if you ever want to book anything; the gems are few and far between, long range thinking and relationship building, nearly always not even a passing thought.In that email I describe the kinds of events we are looking to book in an effort to cut to the heart of the matter. Again, not even the courtesy of a timely reply, though I indicated one of the events was time urgent. It's now a month since I first contacted them.Incidentally, each of the communications described here was copied to two different people at the company so #fail squared. In my experience, if you're an event planner, the best bet is to avoid Parched Hospitality Group.P.S. If ownership suggests in reply that I email them, please spare me. You've had my email for a month now.

Very nice bar! I went there for a jazz night, jam session and the music was wonderful !I wish they organize that more often.

The menu is not accurate online but the food that was available (roughly equivalent) is delicious! The potatoes, salad and fries are all incredible in their own way. And it was dairy free (let the kitchen know) too!The cocktails were wonderful too. The little music is the best I've had in NYC

I'm half-tempted to leave a 4-star review due to the issues we had when we first showed up... BUT. The food and drinks are absolutely phenomenal, and the server was also the only person working when we went, and he was very attentive while we were there.We had five cocktails total between the three of us, each a different one, and our favorite was the Night Music. Their Aviation was also flawless, and the other three drinks were very unique and wonderful.The ambience is absolutely incredible, with good music choices and wonderful views of the city from the rooftop. The dim lighting is done mostly by candlelight, which is perfect for an evening on a rooftop.The food was phenomenal, however it's my understanding that the kitchen is used by Hole in the Wall a few floors down, so that may be more points for them rather than Sentry. Not to mention the online menu is completely inaccurate for what was actually being offered, so don't go in expecting that to be correct. However the food remains absolutely incredible, based on what we tried.We did make a reservation, thinking we'd need one for a Friday night, but it turns out they only use the reservation page as a means to gather interest in the place, so it was unnecessary and not actually useful.Overall, past the initial confusion and concerns, it's an absolutely incredible place and experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique experience to have here in New York.

We had such a great experience. They were so attentive, always made sure we had a full glass of water, and had great conversations with everyone. The space was super chill and comfortable, perfect drink and relaxation. Will definitely return in the future!

Absolute gem of a bar; our entire group was so excited to have found it. On the top floor of a nondescript building, the Sentry was cozy. Mostly groups of 1-2 friends having a good conversation. There is a single bartender serving a solid cocktail menu. There are a lot of mirrors, wood paneled walls, and ambient lighting to make this place feel really special.

I was at a private party on Saturday Jan. 28th. The female bartender charged me $36 for a casamigos margarita., I imaging tip is included but she never said it. I asked the guy who was bartending also, when I came back up to get the second one. He said a Casamigos drink is $18 and then Marg is a $5 add in making it $23. They do include tip which is illegal in Ny without telling the guest,, so not sure how you can let her conduct business. She steals from guest...I would stay away from this dump..

Couldn’t get through to make a reservation online but rcvd a quick response via email, ty! Was quiet on sat night, we came late for drinks (kitchen was closed) Intimate setting beautiful interior with rooftop views .

Found this hidden gem on a Saturday night when all the bars in the vicinity were packed and needed reservations. The Sentry is a rooftop bar perfect for an intimate date night or a night out with friends. It was mostly empty when we got there around 6 pm, so we were happy to have the place mostly to ourselves. There were small nooks with comfy couches to snuggle in, as well as a small terrace if you want look over the city. Drinks were great and around $17, standard pricing for the area. I will definitely come back again!
