One of the most unique restaurants in the West Point area, Zulu Time Rooftop Bar and Lounge offers a unique sensory experience with your favorite beverages, gracious service and good food – all enhanced by spectacular views of the Hudson River and United States Military Academy at West Point. Relax in style as you enjoy unmatched vistas from the only NY rooftop bar overlooking the Hudson River between Manhattan and Albany. 

Please note that there is one flight of stairs to reach the rooftop and a wheelchair lift for those who require a lift.  Since many of our guestrooms overlook Zulu Time, we are required to stop playing music (recorded or live) at a specific time each night.
