230 Fifth Rooftop (Empire Room)

Event Description

Arguably the most famous rooftop in Manhattan, 230 Fifth needs no introduction. The night before the Fourth is a guaranteed night out, and there is no better place to kick off the holiday weekend than 33,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space with the Empire State Building staring right at you. The sprawling rooftop garden, the fully enclosed penthouse lounge, the expertly designed cocktails, bottle service if you want it, and a food menu that runs from small plates to full entrees. Two DJs, two dance floors, two floors of venue. You can roll into the holiday weekend properly or not at all. Strictly 21+.
