Bar Funke

Pasta maestro Evan Funke’s three-story 90210 restaurant is one of the best restaurants in the city, and this pink marble rooftop bar is the cherry on top. Unlike the dining room below, Bar Funke generally accepts walk-ins, though if you want to score the full dinner menu—which I consider one of the best in the city—you’ll still need to get a reservation. Walk-in guests can still enjoy the immaculately constructed, fairly pricey cocktails and a smaller aperitivi menu that includes some of the city’s fluffiest focaccia (available plain or topped with a cheesy, umami-rich pomodoro sauce) and deep-fried, ricotta-stuffed squash blossoms. Given the lack of height, the views while seated at Bar Funke aren’t much to look at, but the culinary mastery and expert bartending translate into a delightful, though pricey, rooftop bar experience. Whether spiked with olive oil (the Firenze) or infused with the Sardinian myrtle berries  (the Marche), the smooth house concoctions just might justify their prices—the majority of which are north of $26.
