Rainbow Room is the iconic private events space located on the 65th floor of New York City’s historic Rockefeller Plaza.
Having been a part of NYC history since 1934, this space has entertained countless guests throughout time, including celebrities like Joan Crawford, Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga, and Jimmy Fallon.”
Within the Rainbow Room facilities are four unique venues to host a variety of events: the Rainbow Room, Bar SixtyFive, the Private Dining Room, and 620 Loft and Garden.
The Rainbow Room reopened its doors for business in 2014 after a five year absence and remodeling, and is now open to the public twice a week — on Monday nights for dinner and dancing and on Sundays for brunch — and hosts special private events during the rest of the week. Floor-to-ceiling windows cover three walls of the room, providing a stunning view of the NYC skyline. Curtail made of crystals hang from each window, reflecting brilliant light both day and night to create a rainbow effect. Not only does this landmarked venue have an incomparable space with striking views, it has some of the most sought-after chefs and hospitality professionals in the country and was the recent recipient of the Manhattan Hospitality Award in 2019. It’s the perfect place to host luxurious and unforgettable events including birthdays, weddings, movie premieres, fashion shows, and more.
Located on the west end of the 65th floor, adjacent to the Rainbow Room, is Bar SixtyFive, a rooftop cocktail bar that is open to the public from 4PM to midnight Monday through Fridays and 4PM to 9PM on Sundays. This Rockefeller rooftop bar boasts a 30-mile view in three directions and serves an impressive list of contemporary cocktails and fine wine. Its dining menu offers light bites as well as full two-three course meals. If you’re looking for a gorgeous rooftop event space in NYC, this is a great venue that’s available to book for semi-private, private terrace, or exclusive private events.
For more intimate private events, there’s the Private Dining Room that sits in between the Rainbow Room and Bar SixtyFive. This is a 360 square foot dining room with a capacity of about 20-30 people. With full floor-to-ceiling views on 2 sides, this room is the epitome of luxury and class.
Lastly is 620 Loft and Garden, a unique venue that features a beautiful rooftop garden with extraordinary views of Fifth Avenue and St. Patrick’s Cathedral and a classic indoor loft event space that’s entirely customizable for a one-of-a-kind event experience.
