The best summer party venues in TriBeCa

The Roxy Hotel is the perfect spot to host a swanky summer soiree (try saying that three times fast). The entire hotel- from the marquee-styled entrance to the glitzy and grand atrium- oozes old Hollywood glamour. Surrounded by rich textures, a warm color palette, and bold patterns, you and your party guests will feel like you’ve been transported back to the 1920s the moment you step through the door.

This venue offers multiple options for hosting a summer party. The Roxy Bar is a chic and stylish setting for an intimate gathering of up to 20 of your friends or colleagues. For some added color, check out Paul's Cocktail Lounge, with capacity for up to 75 partygoers. If you're looking for something a bit more exclusive, consider The Django, the Roxy's underground jazz club, which is available for private events and can fit up to 150 standing. Don’t be surprised if you spot a few famous faces—on my first visit, I ended up sitting right next to Ethan Hawke!

Tribeca Rooftop sits atop an old printing press building from the 1920s, so its general vibe is industrial, but with a distinct upscale modern twist. With a generous 29,000 sq. ft. including a terrace and sunny 25-ft. glass-enclosed atrium, it’s ideal for dinner under the stars, a cocktail hour, or even a lively dance party with the city as your backdrop. The indoor space with its high ceilings and a flexible layout can also be customized to suit the atmosphere of your party.

The space fits up to 720 guests standing or 400 seated. This venue also offers a private entrance with attended elevators, a coat check, in-house catering, and a 2000 sq. ft. dance floor.

For a summer party that stands out from the typical rooftop or open-air venue, Macao Trading Company delivers a unique experience that begins with the thrill of finding it: with no outdoor signage, their website intriguingly advises, “Look for the red lantern.” When you finally make your way inside, you’ll immediately notice the rich, textured walls, adorned with vintage maps, antique mirrors, and old-world art. Drawing inspiration from Macao’s history as a Portuguese colony in the 1930s, this venue will whisk you away from the NYC hustle and into a captivating journey back in time. The atmosphere is lively yet intimate, with the hum of conversation and the clinking of glasses creating a sense of community. It's a space that invites you to linger, savoring both the ambiance and the fusion of Portuguese and Chinese flavors on your plate.

You can rent out the Main Dining Room, which fits 80 seats or 150 standing, the Lounge Downstairs, fitting 40 seated or 60 standing, or both spaces together for a total capacity of 120 seated or 210 for a standing cocktail event. The menu is specifically crafted with family-style dining in mind, great to share while conversing about your summer vacation plans.

Nestled in a pink Tribeca townhouse dating back to the 1800s, Tiny’s is a charming venue for a summer party. The main dining area is warm and welcoming, with exposed brick walls, antique mirrors, and a fireplace that adds a homey touch. Upstairs, the bar feels like a hidden gem, with its low ceilings and soft lighting. It’s the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time – the perfect summer get-together spot.

Depending upon your party vibe, you can rent out the space for a private dining event, cocktail party, or full townhouse buyout. However, keep in mind that Tiny's is on the smaller side, fitting a maximum of around 100 guests, so if you're planning to host a large crowd, it might get a bit tight.. The food and cocktails are solid, with a focus on seasonal ingredients, which is always a plus for a summer event.

Located at the top of One World Trade Center, ASPIRE at One World Observatory offers breathtaking panoramic views of New York City, making it a top choice for a summer event that’ll leave a lasting impression.
