Wall Street HotelA Vibrant Rooftop Escape Blending Fresh Margaritas and Boasting a Spirited Atmosphere with Sweeping Views of the Historic Downtown Neighborhood

New York, NY (May 8, 2025) —  The Wall Street Hotel has debuted a fresh new rooftop experience with the reopening of Bar Tontine. Perched atop the award-winning hotel, the reimagined rooftop has been transformed into a lush tropical oasis where vibrant florals, energizing live entertainment, and a new agave-forward cocktail and culinary program curated by Chef John Fraser of Michelin-starred JF Restaurants come together to create a captivating summer escape.

"At The Wall Street Hotel, we believe hospitality is about creating spaces that bring people together in meaningful ways," says Prince A. Sanders, General Manager of The Wall Street Hotel. "With Bar Tontine, we envisioned a rooftop where the vibrancy of the cocktails, the energy of the music, and the beauty of the skyline would come together to foster connections, spark conversations, and create a renewed sense of belonging downtown. Whether you live in the neighborhood or are visiting the city for the first time, Bar Tontine is a place to savor the moment and feel part of something truly special in the heart of Lower Manhattan."

As the Financial District evolves into one of New York’s most exciting destinations, Bar Tontine captures the new downtown spirit with a rooftop experience crafted to awaken the senses and gather in style. Highlights include:

  • THE DRINKS // At the heart of Bar Tontine’s cocktail program is a creative exploration of the margarita reimagined through playful techniques and fresh regionally inspired ingredients. Highlights include the Pimento, a layered blend of reposado tequila, bell pepper & berry cordial, and bell pepper confetti, and the El Tigre, which draws on Peruvian-style Leche de Tigre for a refreshingly savory twist on the agave-based staple. The menu also features creative non-alcoholic selections, and an interactive build-your-own margarita where guests can curate their drink to their liking.
  • THE BITES // The ingredient-driven menu reflects Chef John Fraser’s California roots with influences from Mexican flavor profiles and cooking techniques. Each dish is crafted to pair naturally with the cocktail program - balancing spicy, salty, sour, and sweet notes that complement agave-forward libations and encourage social shared dining. Highlights include Caviar Nachos, Oyster Aguachile, Tuna + Truffle Tostadas, and Fresh Guacamole served with house-made chips.
  • THE VIBES // Surrounded by lush, tropical florals, warm lighting, and music curated to reflect the spirit of Latin America, Bar Tontine provides a rooftop escape that celebrates the magic of summer. Throughout the season, the rooftop will host a dynamic lineup of events, including live music performances, and guest bartender takeovers featuring talent from top cocktail destinations around the world. From toasting to summer with friends, celebratory happy hours, to memorable gatherings, Bar Tontine is a destination for an unforgettable summer night.

Bar Tontine is open Wednesday – Saturday from 4:00pm – 10:00pm. Reservations can be made via OpenTable.
