Thursday, Dec 31 NEW YEARS EVE 2027 @ NYY LOUNGE HARD ROCK HOTEL NEW YORK - TIMES SQUARE NYC

About the party

NYY Events at the Hard Rock Hotel New York hosts a New Year's Eve party in its NYY Lounge on West 48th Street, a few steps from Times Square, on Thursday, December 31. It runs from 9 PM to 3 AM.

What to expect

An open-bar hotel event space: the package includes a four-hour premium open bar from 9 PM to 1 AM and an hour and a half of passed light bites, not a seated dinner, plus a live broadcast of the ball drop. My take: this suits a group that wants an all-in New Year's Eve near Times Square with DJs and drinks covered, rather than a club with a named lineup.

Music and lineup

The listing says top NYC DJs spin all night, but no names and no genre are given. Set times are not published.

Before you go

Eventbrite lists 9 PM to 3 AM. It is 21+ with proper ID. The Hard Rock Hotel New York is at 159 West 48th Street. The listing says you must enter the Times Square area at the NYPD entry point at 48th Street and 6th Avenue, with a printed ticket and a printed Times Square Pass for each guest, which the organizer will add to the listing closer to the night. It suggests arriving between 8 and 10 PM, warns that the area usually closes between about 11:30 PM and 12:15 AM, and says tickets are honored until 1:45 AM. Table packages require the card and ID used to buy them, and gratuity is collected at the event. Re-entry, coat check and accessibility are not stated.

Refunds (Organizer)

All sales are final and non-refundable, per the listing.
