The Broken Shaker, Rooftop bar in Gramercy, Manhattan, United States.
The Broken Shaker is a rooftop bar located on the 18th floor of the Freehand Hotel in Gramercy, offering city views and tropical décor with plants and natural light. The menu features handcrafted cocktails that combine classic mixing methods with innovative recipe ideas.
The venue opened in 2019 as a New York outpost of a Miami-based bar concept, introducing Caribbean aesthetics to Manhattan's rooftop scene. This expansion brought tropical and artisanal cocktail culture to the city's growing bar landscape.
The space welcomes people to sit down, talk, and enjoy carefully made drinks without the pressure of a crowded club. The reggae music and tropical setting create a laid-back setting where lingering and conversation feel natural.
Walk-in visitors are welcome, though reservations are recommended for larger groups to guarantee space. The rooftop setting means stairs to reach the top floor and exposure to wind and weather, so plan accordingly for comfort.
The bar has earned awards for its cocktails and hotel concept from prestigious cocktail organizations. Fewer visitors realize that the tropical plant display rotates seasonally to reflect different Caribbean regions and their local botanicals.
