July 4th PHD Rooftop at Dream Downtown

Independence Day Celebration at PhD Rooftop Downtown

Event Description

PH-D Rooftop Lounge and FourthofJulyParties.com invite you to celebrate Independence Day at one of the most sought-after rooftops in downtown Manhattan. The Dream Hotel Downtown's haute nightclub and lounge sets the stage with uninterrupted views of the Hudson River and Empire State Building while guest DJs keep the dance floor packed all night. Swing, sway and swerve with locals, pop out to the landscaped terrace when you need air, and let the skyline do the rest. This is Meatpacking on the Fourth, and PH-D is exactly where you want to be.

The Venue

PHD Rooftop Lounge lives on the twelfth floor of Dream Downtown, right where Chelsea bleeds into the Meatpacking District. The space is finished in Italian Portoro marble and Macassar ebony with amber Venini glass chandeliers overhead, and the outdoor terrace with its retractable canopy has the kind of uninterrupted Hudson River and Empire State views that make first-timers stop mid-sentence. Two full-service bars, a proper DJ booth, and custom Italian leather banquettes. Tao Group runs it, which means the door, the crowd, and the music are all curated accordingly. Open Thursday through Saturday year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the dress code for PhD Rooftop on July 4th?

Upscale attire required. PHD is a Tao Group nightlife venue and enforces a dress code. No sneakers, no shorts, no athletic wear. Dress like you're going out in the Meatpacking District, because you are.

Is there a view of the Macy's fireworks from PhD Rooftop?

PHD faces the Hudson River and the Empire State Building. Depending on the fireworks launch location, there may be a partial or indirect view, but this is a July 4th party at a premier rooftop lounge, not a dedicated fireworks viewing event.

General admission includes access to the rooftop lounge, outdoor terrace, and live DJ entertainment. Open bar packages and VIP table reservations are available as upgrades.

Both. The main lounge is fully enclosed. The outdoor terrace has a retractable canopy and open-air seating with skyline views.
