You'll find bars for groups in various sizes, from smaller spots to larger venues; keep in mind that the type of space and your chosen layout will affect the capacity! Below you can see the typical venue sizes in Manhattan, together with the standard prices in each size range, based on Tagvenue data (September 2025):

Small bars for groups up to 55 guests prices average $1200 minimum spend per event

Tagvenue showcases a dazzling array of surprising rooftop escapes in Manhattan. Once associated with privilege and exclusivity, the city's highest points are now accessible to anyone with a sense of adventure.

  • Sunrise Room at Dear Irving on Hudson Rooftop -This exclusive downtown location on the 41st floor is stylishly designed and has upholstered seating for up to 65 guests. A 3-hour premium open bar with specialty cocktails costs $100 per person, making it a must-consider venue. This two-story cocktail bar presents an "Ode to the Empire State" with spirits sourced exclusively from New York City. It exudes elegance, reminiscent of a 1960s James Bond set with velvet couches and brass finishes. 
  • Jimmy Soho at ModernHouse - This Soho 18th-floor building is ideal for inspiring colleagues and friends. Its cocktail lounge and terrace can comfortably accommodate up to 100 guests. Even if guests choose to stay indoors, the ambiance remains electric, with glazed brick walls and functioning fireplaces. Booking starts with a minimum spend of $20,000. Make your reservation through Tagvenue to enjoy stunning skyline views that are genuinely unparalleled.

While some clubs have a 21+ policy, others might allow 18+ entry. Legally, there isn't a universal restriction, but venues serving alcohol may set their own age limits. Popular bars for the older crowd tend to check IDs at the entrance. On the other hand, more beer-bar oriented places most likely won’t card you at the door. If the venue has a restaurant (like The DL in the Lower East Side), being underage won’t be a problem!
