Mr. Purple

now
Mr. Purple is the signature rooftop bar at Hotel Indigo Lower East Side, located 15 floors above Orchard Street. It features a seasonal outdoor pool, lounge seating, and skyline views that stretch from the Williamsburg Bridge to the Freedom Tower. Known for a more relaxed, neighborhood-driven energy than some of the flashier LES rooftops, it draws a mix of hotel guests and locals. The cocktail program is solid and the food menu covers bar classics with a creative twist.
Go here if
- You want casual drinks.
- The LES neighborhood rooftop done right — approachable, with a pool, and real skyline views.
- You need some weather backup instead of a fully exposed deck.
Skip if
- You want a budget-first night.

Weather caveat
source-backed
Indoor lounge plus outdoor/pool terrace makes Mr. Purple viable beyond perfect patio weather. Best RVFTO fit is warm evenings and late nights; indoor lounge is the fallback when cold, wind, or rain makes the exposed pool deck less comfortable.
