  • private event
    We hosted an event at Overstory and all our guests had an amazing time! Yaro and his team were super friendly and professional - made everyone feel like a rock star. Food was also superb.
  • july 4th event
    5 stars. Overstory did a great job with the July 4th event. It was well organized, the food was good, the service was great, and the fireworks view was beautiful. Overall, a really enjoyable and memorable experience.
  • team outing inquiry, party of 11
    Walked over from the office to book the space for a team outing of 11 people next week. When I asked to see the space and where we would be seated, I was told that I would need to buy a drink in order to do that. I guess the loss of sales on that one drink was worth losing business for 11 people getting at least 2 drinks each. 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • group night out, party of 6
    Overstory — cocktails with a view We came as a group of six — perfect for a special night out. The panoramic views of Manhattan are breathtaking, the interior is stylish, and the atmosphere feels intimate yet vibrant. We tried many cocktails, and everything was spot on. I especially want to highlight the non-alcoholic ones — I tried all of them. Very sweet, but creative and surprisingly fun. Service was attentive, and reservations are a must. A true sky-high experience — in every sense.
