Gallow Green

West Village, Chelsea & Meatpacking District


Run by the creative team behind Sleep No More theater, Gallow Green is a rooftop bar festooned with vines, potted plants and fairy lights. It's a great add-on before or after experiencing the show, with waitstaff in period costume, a live band most nights and tasty rum-filled cocktails. You'll want to make a reservation.

When the cold weather arrives, Gallow Green sets up 'the Lodge,' a cozy chalet, with various astonishingly filled rooms, complete with books, bunk beds, fur rugs, a rocking chair and a fireplace. For a woodsy escape without leaving Midtown, this is it.
