The Experience
A Hidden Speakeasy Above Midtown Manhattan
Inside, guests are welcomed into thoughtfully curated lounge areas featuring plush sofas, armchairs, ottomans, coffee tables, and refined sound and media systems — all accented by soft architectural lighting and a classic speakeasy mood. The environment feels cultured and intimate, making it as fitting for an executive strategy dinner as it is for a chef-led supper club or a meaningful celebration with friends.
A full chef's kitchen makes culinary-driven events effortless. Private chefs, tasting dinners, pop-ups, cooking demonstrations, and elevated supper clubs will find the layout exceptionally accommodating, with flexible seating and the ability to configure larger dining arrangements upon request.
Indoor–Outdoor Flow
Private Nights Above the City
In warmer months, the experience extends seamlessly onto our 1,500-square-foot private terrace, effectively doubling the capacity of the space and allowing events to unfold across both the indoor lounge and open-air rooftop. Guests move effortlessly between plush interiors and outdoor skyline views, creating a dynamic, layered atmosphere ideal for receptions, dinners, and celebrations. With the terrace in use, The 13th Storey comfortably hosts larger-format events and cocktail receptions, offering one of Midtown's rare indoor–outdoor rooftop settings for private gatherings. Heat-lamps and fire pit are available during the winter months.
