Bi-level rooftop cocktail bar atop the Aliz Hotel with skyline views near Times Square
Description
Dear Irving on Hudson sits on the 40th and 41st floors of the Aliz Hotel near Times Square, billed as the highest open-air penthouse in the city for enjoying craft cocktails. The bi-level space pairs panoramic Manhattan skyline views with floor-to-ceiling windows and design that nods to 60s James Bond and 20s Gatsby-era glamour, giving each floor and room its own distinct character. The cocktail program is directed by Bar Director and Partner Meaghan Dorman, from the team behind the original Dear Irving and The Raines Law Room, and the venue offers elevated dining and catering options for events. The 40th floor features contemporary, colorful Sunrise and Sunset rooms with access to outdoor balconies, while the 41st floor carries the Gatsby theme with large circular chandeliers and plush lounge seating. For events, the venue scales from individual room reservations (roughly 65–85 guests) up to single-floor buyouts of 150 guests or a full bi-level buyout for up to 300. That flexibility makes it a fit for cocktail receptions, corporate mixers, holiday parties, birthdays, and engagement celebrations that want a high-floor rooftop setting without leaving Midtown.
