Spring is officially in session, and what better way to toast to the season than with skyline views and seasonal sips? The Knockturnal had the pleasure of attending the debut happy hour at the newly renovated Rooftop at Exchange Place in Jersey City — and let’s just say, this spot is your next go-to for golden hour.
On Thursday, May 1st, guests gathered at 1 Exchange Place to celebrate the grand reveal of the refreshed rooftop space. The evening kicked off right at 6 PM with welcome drinks in hand — a perfect start to an elevated evening above the city buzz. Shortly after, an assortment of small bites began making their way around, offering just enough to complement the crafted cocktails and spark conversation.
Speaking of cocktails, the bar pulled out all the stops. Attendees were treated to complimentary cocktails (or mocktails!), allowing everyone to sample their way through the new Summer menu. Highlights included the crisp and floral Botanical Spritz and the refreshingly bold Mango Mint Julep — both clear crowd favorites that captured the essence of warm-weather indulgence.

The newly revamped space blends modern elegance with relaxed comfort, making it ideal for after-work wind-downs, weekend celebrations, or spontaneous sunset sessions. And the best part? It’s easily accessible whether you’re coming from the heart of Manhattan or nearby in Jersey. A quick 7-minute ferry from Brookfield Place or a 4-minute PATH ride from the World Trade Center gets you right to Exchange Place — no stress, just vibes.
With summer around the corner, the RoofTop at Exchange Place is officially on our radar. If you’re looking to elevate your happy hour plans, consider this your sign to make a visit.
