5 O’clock Somewhere

Despite the huge, sparkly Margaritaville sign welcoming you into this resort in the middle of Times Square, this rooftop bar doesn’t feel as on theme as we’d like. Maybe that’s a good thing for some—but if you're not looking for at least a couple of fake parrots, why would you venture into the Buffett universe in the first place? That said, 5 O'Clock Somewhere is a perfectly good rooftop with good vibes and a lot of chill, embodying the Margaritaville spirit if not the aesthetic. The menu is distinctly over-the-top (truffle, so much truffle), you can get a huge brightly-colored drink with an umbrella in it, and it’s definitely fine to show up with flip flops on.
