Mr. Purple
[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]
- Perched on the 15th floor of Hotel Indigo Lower East Side, is the swanky rooftop bar Mr. Purple (part of the Gerber Group) — the sceney bar, with an Orchard Street entrance through the lobby, aims to encompass the vibrant and artistic essence of the LES with panoramic views of downtown NY
- Elevator doors open to an indoor space similar to an artists’ loft. Comfy couches, purple chairs, and communal high top tables are scattered across the two terraces, leaving an ample amount of room for mingling with strangers or catching up with the squad until 4am. You might even forget you’re at a hotel until the bright turquoise lap pool refreshes your memory
- The cocktail menu highlights local, market-fresh ingredients. Classics like the GG Manhattan or specials like Mr. Purple go for $16, but you can always come off cloud nine with a trusty $6 Modelo or $7 IPA

Despite Mr. Purple’s sophisticated exterior, the name itself has humble beginnings. It’s been rumored that the bar’s name represents the late iconic LES environmentalist, gardener, and activist, David Wilkie, who was often spotted in lavender-hued clothing and referred to by the community as Adam Purple
