Nubeluz, Rooftop bar at The Ritz-Carlton NoMad, New York City.
Nubeluz is a cocktail bar located on the 50th floor of The Ritz-Carlton NoMad, offering guests expansive views of Manhattan through floor-to-ceiling windows. The space wraps around in a 270-degree arc, creating an open and airy atmosphere from multiple vantage points.
This venue was established in 2022 by Chef José Andrés as part of his growing collection of restaurants and bars across the country. The opening marked a shift toward elevated cocktail culture infused with Spanish culinary traditions.
The name combines the Spanish words 'nube' meaning cloud and 'luz' meaning light, reflecting a blend of American and Spanish influences. This linguistic fusion appears throughout the design and atmosphere of the space.
The location sits high above the city, so visitors should expect elevator wait times and allow extra time for arrival and settling in. Reservations are managed through a dedicated system, and hours vary throughout the week, making it wise to check current availability before heading over.
The signature Salt Air Margarita is topped with a white foam cap that resembles ocean spray, created using specialized bartending techniques. This visually striking detail has become beloved by regular visitors.
