About Eddie Ate Dynamite
Hotel Fraye's roof holds a long bar under a canopy of bulb lights, blue-and-white tiled floors, rattan seating and a pool deck of loungers looking out over Midtown. It keeps short hours: Thursday from 5 PM to 10 PM, then Friday and Saturday from 4 PM to 11 PM, and it is closed the rest of the week. Cocktails, tequila drinks and bar food such as a soft pretzel, pressed sandwiches and steak plates make up the offer, and because of the pool, drinks arrive in plastic cups. Recent reviewers call it lively and noisy, better for drinks with friends than a quiet dinner, and they name bartenders for friendly, quick service; one hotel guest describes an awkward ID dispute. A guitarist sometimes plays under the lights. With a 4.5 rating from about 70 Google reviews, it draws more hotel guests and Midtown locals than Broadway traffic. Summer-casual clothes fit.
