Rent the perfect party venue in Midtown

Enter Raines Law Room and you’ll be transported to a 20th-century dark academia library: long drapes, velvet furniture, and deep jewel tones greet you amongst stacked bookshelves. Known for their masterful cocktails, you’ll find limited-edition signatures, small-batch spirits, and seasonal themed drinks. Try the Latin Heat, which highlights spirits and spices from Central and South America, or Fresh Start, which has floral and fruity elements celebrating warmer weather.

Rent out the full space for a Hemingway-themed birthday party (or maybe just corporate drinks) for up to 150 guests. Smaller guest lists can be accommodated in the Peacock Room (max.40), the Library (max.40), or the Hawthorne Terrace (max.50).

Along with the specialty cocktails, you can order small plates like crispy goat cheese, NYC pastrami sandwich bites, and chocolate truffles.

There’s nothing like getting a hundred sports bros together to watch the Knicks or the Jets on too many TV screens. If that’s your idea of a party, head over to Stout Bryant Park, a public house-inspired community space in the heart of NYC. Find comfortable furniture, giant portions of chicken fingers, and TVs in the double digits.

The main bar is ideal for prime viewing, with sixteen TVs and the option to rent out a semi-private space, so you can still be a part of the atmosphere. Or, opt for the private Mezzanine, which can accommodate 100 guests standing and overlooks the main restaurant. A full-service bar, six TVs, and a DJ-ready A/V setup make it a versatile party space. Smaller group occasions can rent the dining room for up to 25.

On the menu, you’ll find Baja fish tacos, turkey burgers, and Wisconsin-style thin-crust pizza. To feed the masses, you can order trays of pigs in a blanket, Stout burger sliders, or spring rolls. Of course, it’s not a sports bar without beer – there’s a variety of drafts, bottles, and cans from New York and beyond.

This Midtown party venue blends eclectic decor and drinks with New Orleans-inspired tradition. With various private rooms, each uniquely decorated with funky patterns and bright colors, you’ll find something suitable for your next bash.

Smaller groups can book the nature-inspired Autumn in the Air area for up to 20 guests, or opt for the Oak Room for a more formal low-key dinner party of 14. For a fully private space, the Speakeasy Bar is available for up to 130 standing guests, complete with a flamingo pink bar and bright blue seating. A full buyout is also available for up to 500 guests. Rooms offer A/V capabilities from TVs to DJ setups, depending on what you’re planning.

The signature cocktails are tropical, with fruity flavors like pineapple, passionfruit, and rhubarb. Rich New American dishes like blackened salmon and lobster rolls are on the menu, and if you’re not finishing off with one of their beignets, you’re doing it wrong.

Named after Australia’s largest rainforest, Daintree’s location can’t be more of the polar opposite. However, its bohemian interior is flushed with greenery, and woven fixtures with vibrant plush seating enhance the tropical oasis. Situated on the 29th floor, the floor-to-ceiling windows and terrace give you skyline views, so you can see out from the treetops of the concrete jungle.

Event packages offer a few different spaces to rent, including the Bar Room (max. 45), the enclosed penthouse (max. 120), or the Treetop Terrace (max. 70). A full buyout accommodates 220 standing guests and 100 seated. Choose from passed hors d’oeuvres like crispy halloumi bites or mini macarons, or opt for food stations offering NY strip steak and rigatoni alla vodka.

Specialty cocktails are a blend of culture, like the Aussie Spritz with Aperol, strawberry, blood orange, and thyme, or the Southern Touch with Jack Daniel’s black tea, amaretto, and peach. Order calamari, truffle fries, or sliders to snack on a la carte. If you’re feeling experimental, order the kangaroo skewers. That’ll take you down under.

Located within a Subway stop entrance, parties don’t get more New York City than Nothing Really Matters. Midtown may be known for its high rises and traffic, but this underground cocktail bar proves people still play as hard as they work. Dark, moody, neon decor, Nothing Really Matters is perfect for first dates, gnos, or private events for any celebration.

These days, everyone claims to have the best espresso martini - but we think NRM has truly perfected it. Self-proclaimed “greatest cocktail bar in the universe” (we are inclined to agree), the drinks are to die for, the music is lively, and the location is unmatched.

Inspired by old New York City, there is nothing stuffy about this subterranean cocktail lounge. Madam George is an expansive speakeasy that combines old school nostalgia with trendy drinks. Inspired by Van Morrison's song, Madam George creates the same mysterious allure as the muse: smokey, glamorous, classy.

Retro cocktails, a wood-burning kitchen, and vinyls put the old-school back in midtown. There is nothing stuffy about this nostalgic bar, though. Agency of Record is located beneath the famous Rewick hotel and is a tribute to famous writers and iconic advertising agencies that were historically inspired in this building. F Scott Fitzgerald, John Steinbeck, and Thomas Mann are just a few of the names you may recognize that once found a home here.
