Thursday, Dec 31 NEW YEARS EVE PARTY at THE VENUE @ HARD ROCK HOTEL - TIMES SQUARE NYE 2027

About the party

JK Hospitality Group presents a New Year's Eve party at The Venue, the bi-level event space inside the Hard Rock Hotel New York on West 48th Street in Times Square, on Thursday, December 31. It runs from 9 PM to 3:30 AM, with the listing pitching a Gatsby and 1920s feel.

What to expect

A hotel club space of over 6,000 square feet on two floors, with a bar on each level, leather banquettes and cocktail tables. The package includes a four-hour open bar from 9 PM to 1 AM and an hour and a half of passed light bites from 10 PM, not a seated dinner, and the ball drop is shown on a live broadcast rather than seen outside. My take: this is for a group that wants an open-bar New Year's Eve with DJs right by Times Square, without standing in the street.

Music and lineup

The listing promises top NYC DJs spinning all night but names none and states no genre. Set times are not published.

Before you go

Eventbrite lists 9 PM to 3:30 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.
