About the operator
- man4michelle00First time was a charmBut the second time, not so much. They did let us know a few hours before our scheduled night that they wanted to move us to Saturday because they didn’t have enough people. I should have canceled, and got a refund since they did give that option. But, we were celebrating anniversaries and I thought it would be fun like the previous experience. Long story short- the host was late, or maybe confused about the meeting space upstairs (which is where we were told to go in the confirmation) and be warned, the staff at the first bar never knows anything about the bar crawl. That happened both times I went. She was a very pleasant young lady but I think she was a bit overwhelmed and there were some more issues later that evening that she was having problems with. We made it fun for ourselves, but waited about 30 minutes after we got to the third club (and we were the last ones to arrive because she had to make separate arrangements for the group since the limo refused to take everyone) and still couldn’t find her to say goodbye and give her a tip. I would probably just go to the clubs on our own in the future.
- Giovanny J00AnniversaryHi, I would to said thank you to Lauren we had a blast, it’s was my 12 year anniversary. Play right Irish was open bar and met new people from Europe. Second and third club were amazing again thank you Lauren Giovanny & Adriana
- 183tonyk00An incredible experienceThe first bar, playwright irish pub, is very nice and the open bar is a really open bar during 1:30. Erick was very very nice, open-minded and he know to adapt at different peaple. We had the impression to have a new friend! The limousine experience was incredible, like a party! The rooftops were very trendy. This activity is Inescapable if you go to NYC with your friends.
- Jess7Dee00Rockstar Bar CrawlMy best friend and I took a weekend girls trip to NYC to celebrate her birthday. She had never been to NY and I wanted her to have a great 1st impression/experience. I came across Rockstar online and I am so glad I did. Lauren was our party host and she was great. She kept the party moving from one bar/club to the next. She made sure that everyone was having a great time (and taking shots!!!). Our party group in general was amazing and we met some awesome people from all over. Whenever I am back in NY, I will definitely be partying with Rockstar again!! Thanks Lauren!!
- rebekah w00NYC club crawlWe just went this past weekend and had an absolute blast! Lauren was our tour guide and she brought us to some of the coolest clubs. One of my favorite parts was riding around in the limo between clubs. We could connect our phones to the Bluetooth speakers and car dance with a great group of people while driving through the big city! It was great meeting new people and we made some great new connections. All a very positive very recommended experience!!
- Charita R00Great time!Had a great night out with NYC pub crawl. All the venue's were good places to party and our host Erik was the best! Would recommend this for any group trip or people who like the club scene.
- SushiSensei00The Rooftop Bar Crawl is THE thing to do in ManhattanThe Rooftop Bar Crawl was hands down one of the coolest things I've ever done in Manhattan. Our host Lauren was the perfect person to show our group the bar crawl ropes. She was accommodating, friendly, and it genuinely seemed like she cared that everyone was getting the most out of the night. Sure, going out to the bars/clubs is one thing, but having a host as knowledgeable and approachable as Lauren kicked the whole night up to 11. Loved every second of my time and can't wait to do it again!
- Keena j00AmazzzzingMy friends and I had so much fun friday night. We had a great host Erick, open bar, roof top with the best view and we had a party in n the limo with the lights & music. The other people with us was cool and all around was worth the 70.00 and i am definitely going to do it again....thank you for a birthsay 2 remember
- 166rafafn00Great night, defintely worth it!The tour was better than what I was expecting, really fun night we met lots of people and we had a blast at the 3 clubs. For $70 USD the value we received was great! I will definetely buy the tour again on my second time to NYC!
- SunnyDay10-88-00Perfect 30th Birthday PartyFirst of all a big thank you to our host Lauren. We absolutely enjoyed the party with you an the two other girls from Buffalo. It was a great present for the 30th birthday of our girlfriend. Each location was perfect and we would book this tour again. Greetings from Germany. Nadja, Romina & Simone
- Happiness58837700Fabulous Friday Night!We bought a Groupon for this bar crawl and weren't sure what to expect. It beyond exceeded our expectations! Lauren was an incredible host and we had a complete blast with her! She made us feel comfortable, and like we were one of her own friends. We were paired up with 3 other girls, from Germany, who were out celebrating their friend's 30th birthday. We started at Playwright's Irish Pub, traveled a few doors down to Monarch Rooftop bar, and then were transported in style, by limo to our final destination (the name of which I can't remember). It was definitely a night to remember and not something that we would have been able to coordinate ourselves! ~Roseanne & Lisa
- Quest4324173965700Underrated!One of the best experiences I've had and went beyond what I expected! The host, Erick, is very prompt with answering any questions you have. When I was running late, he sent me a message to check on how I was doing and if I needed more time. Very mindful and friendly. Got to meet some really fun people to party with! Complimentary shot upon arrival and skipped all lineups. Saved a lot of time. The people who I met were the best and truly made the experience great! The walk to Monarch was short and the view was amazing! The ambience, go go dancers and DJ were great! The limo trip over to the rooftop terrace was wild and too short! Ending the night off at Hudson Terrace was perfect. The place was lit and the DJ had rhythm! Definitely lived up to the hype! I would recommend this to anyone who is travelling solo and want to experience a true piece of New York's night life! The host is beyond kind and on point. I would definitely do this again! Thank you!! :)
- cectimc0100An amazing timeOur first time doing The Rockstar Crawl was awesome!! We would definitely do it again!! Our guide Erick was so much fun and made everyone feel welcome!! We met new people and had a great time with them!! If you like to have a good time this is something you must do!!
- Jossie C00Cool bars, great host, def worth it!I went to this bar crawl with my BF, highly recommend! the first bar is a typical Irish pub, not much to it other than the open bar (try their Moscow mule, it's DELISH). The second bar is the rooftop bar, where you're literally face-to-face with the Empire State building, SUPER IMPRESSIVE view! Then the limo takes you to the final bar, which is a club all the way near the Hudson river. The DJ was great, mixed in top 40's with R&B and even Latin music from time to time, super fun environment without the judgmental attitude you get at other clubs in NYC. The host, Erick, was super fun and gave us recs on where to eat and hangout in NYC. Overall, highly recommend!
- Sami S00View and Experience is SuperbOutstanding and affordable way to experience the overview of New York with all the planning done for you. Our entire experience was something we definitely would recommend to anyone.

Started as a simple night out! Ended up as one of the funnest nights out. Eni really helped us all stay together, even though there were quite a few of us she managed to keep us all together! The limo was a swell time - I wish we didn't have to leave it so soon. Really enjoyed the first rooftop, the second venue we went to was a bit crowded but hey - thats NYC. Would recommend this in the summer!

We would like to say thank you to Erick for being such a great host on our night out on the 9th March 2019. We had a lovely time! There was about 20 people in our group, and everyone was super fun and easy to talk to. The limo ride was definitely one of the highlights. If returning to New York, I would definitely do this again.

Well what an amazing night we all had, especially with Lauren who was an amazing host. We had quite a few drinks at the start of the night and then we were off in the Limousine which was fantastic, then to another pub which was also great and to finish the night off we went to the club which was fantastic. Would definitely recommend this as it was great, especially not having to wait for ages to get into anywhere, we were just straight in. Absolutely brilliant, thank you Lauren for a fantastic night, will definitely be in touch next time we’re in New York

We booked the club crawl for a bachelorette party - we all had so much fun and got to visit bars we would have never found on our own. Our host, Lauren, was amazing and so much fun. Felt like we've been friends for years! :) She made sure everyone was having fun, found us a cab when one of our girls feet hurt so bad she couldn't make it to the next bar and made sure we our group reunited. Honestly, everything you get for the price is unbeatable. Unlimited drinks at the first bar, a limo ride in between 2 of the clubs was awesome and makes you feel like a celebrity rolling up to the club and all covers paid for AND no lines! Can't beat it - would recommend in a heart beat :)

We did the rooftop and bar crawl and it exceeded our expectations!! Our host was awesome, and the locations were fabulous! We started with an open bar at an Irish pub and then moved to an amazing rooftop with spectacular view of the city. We then took a decked out limo the our last location which was a very popular night club. We got the skip the line at all locations. The music was great, the people were great, the vibes were great... I highly recommend this to everyone!

Let me start off by saying I am a very fair reviewer and always try to give the benefit of the doubt. Rockstar can respond and color up what I say here, but I will be honest like I am with all of my posts. I post a lot of reviews.
I chose this experience for my birthday. I was very excited to bring a big group over to Rockstar from Virginia and celebrate our only night in NYC with them, especially given the amazing reviews. I have done similar crawls before, so I understand how these things go.
We got to the Irish Pub (no cover if you came without Rockstar) at 8:45pm, 15mins late. It was pretty empty, but I know this is just the first place where you warm up for the rest of the night. No problem. We were passed over to Eric, who checked us in and gave us bands. We grabbed a table and started getting our drinks. Yes, they were house wells, crappy, and that is expected. No problem there either, the crawl gives a fair option to upgrade to more premium options.
After 45mins, I realized we never got welcome shots. First strike in my opinion. I had people in my group who were expecting a way livelier experience. I kept apologizing to them all night, even though it was my birthday.
I went to Eric and had to remind him about the shots. Also, our guide, Jimena, was still not there. Eric said she was running late. I took the shots from the bar and walked to the back to our table myself, serving the group. Jimena finally came an hour late and introduced herself. She spent the rest of the time at the pub talking to Eric and texting a lot on her phone.
We left the pub promptly at 11pm. I was so pumped because we were supposed to go to Monarch, a cool rooftop bar with a view of the Empire State building. I talked it up a lot to the group.
As we walked to Monarch, Jimena said we were not going to go there because they had a special event for the night. Yes, the website does say this can happen, I understand that. But why wouldn't they know ahead of time? If it happened the day of, I would tell my customers so they know what to expect and give an option to cancel. I tried to stay positive.
It turns out we walked five blocks and two half long blocks, losing our buzz, to a bar called Celon (free cover even without rockstar), which Jimena said she has never been to. We walk in and we were the only people there! A group came later but wow, it was dead and very dark and disappointing. Literally any other bar would have been better. To make matters worse, Jimena was isolated and texted the entire 1.5hrs we were there. She spent 0 seconds attempting to entertain us. We tried to make the best out of it by bothering the DJ to play better music and tried to dance some.
We left that disappointment to get in the limo. I had two girls in my group who were so hyped up for the limo, as they had never been on one before. We got in and there was no AC for 90% of the ride. Also, Jimena couldn't figure out how to play music in the limo. The lights were also off, so we sat in the dark and used our cell phones as a flashlight. Some guy ended up figuring out the music and Jimena rolled down the windows for air. It started raining and those of us by the windows were getting wet!
To top it off, the limo driver began to cuss us out when we reasonably asked him to turn up the air and turn on the lights. When we were waiting for umbrellas to get out and go in to Hudson Terrace, he yelled at us to GET THE F*** OUT!! Happy birthday to me right?
Jimena reasonably felt bad, so they arranged for my party to have bottle service. The gesture wasn't unnoticed, but the bottle was undrinkable and random people wouldn't even drink free drinks without taking a sip. We were also asked to tip $30 for the service, which we didn't ask for in the first place. We decided to leave within 45mins at Hudson Terrace. The owner also threw the bottle service gesture in my face the next day via text when I complained and added "Your welcome" to close out his point. Wow.
To save my night, my friends decided to walk over to the Press Lounge at Ink48 nearby. That was the only nice part of the night.
In the future, I recommend people to avoid this place. Go to playwright pub yourself for free, go to Celon for free, and go to the Press Lounge (next to Hudson Terrace) for free. For the Option B $45, all you are paying for is a welcome shot (which you have to ask for, not very "welcoming") and a poor limo ride to Hudson Terrace. You could get much more for $45 a person in NYC.
If you don't believe me, send me a message and I will be more than happy to plan a trip for you and save you a poor night.

Hello Riaz Dahanani from Richmond VA, first of all let me thank you for your review and your feedback we appreciate it and we will take your experience to make our future guests's experience better.
For our future costumers although unlikely sometimes venues are changed last minute but we always try to find the best venues available as we did that night.
A very important part to understand is that our host is not there to "entertain you" he/she is there to make sure she/he guides you throughout the whole night and put on a silver plate a great night where all you have to worry is having fun, is up to you to enjoy the night and have fun by your self.
Without any doubt you have been one of our most challenging clients, as we responded more than 50 text messages through the night which in turn I was relaying to Jimena which might answer your questions of why she was so much on the phone. It seemed you where more interesting in texting us than enjoying the night.
We are happy that we were able to provide everything as advertised, a welcome shot, entrances to 3 top venues and a limo ride for 45 USD per person (only a limo ride would be more than that price), an awesome host and awesome group to party with and we are sorry you were not able to enjoy that, we will take the experience of the rest of the guests that night which had an awesome time.
Thank you!

First off I want to thank our fun host Eni!!! She made sure me and my group were always having a good time all night. She was very nice and sweet with all 10 of my group plus like 8 more people lol! Even though it was a big group Eni was very attentive and understanding to all of us.
All of the venues were perfect and exactly what we were looking for, and the drinks kept flowing. If your thinking about doing this event, definitely do it! It was worth the money ,which was a great deal. Eni kept the good vibes throughout the night and we all appreciated that. We certainly will be booking another crawl soon yea, yea!!

A great night out in NYC made easy by our guide, Lauren. We mingled with new friends at the Irish Bar where we all met. A few drinks here, then we were led by Lauren to the luxury limo parked outside. Happy dance music was played in the limo, courtesy of one of the trainees. We then arrived at a Skytop bar with amazing views and good music. From here Lauren then walked us to another club close by and provided us with VIP entry so we were able to jump the queues. This is a good value for money attraction. 3 new trainees for the company joined us for most of the evening and they seemed to enjoy our company too.

I have booked this for my NYC visit in March, and just wanted to know approximately how big the group is? :)
Our group was about 8, I am sure the group sizes can get much larger depending on the weekend or time of year.

Will you definitely visit a rooftop bar and club and go in a limo? What are the drinks allowed at the first bar... I come to NYC in November
