Magic Hour Rooftop Bar And Lounge

Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge, perched atop the 18th floor of Moxy Times Square, is New York City’s largest all-season hotel rooftop bar. Spanning 10,000 square feet, the venue is designed as an “urban amusement park” with whimsical interiors that include carousel seating, oversized topiary gardens, and rotating seasonal pop-ups like the floral-themed Full Bloom terrace.

Guests are treated to sweeping views of the Empire State Building and the Midtown skyline, making it a standout destination for both locals and tourists. The space features multiple bars, live DJs, and vibrant lighting that shifts with the mood of the night.

Operated by Tao Group Hospitality, renowned for its high-profile venues across the U.S., Magic Hour offers a playful menu of American-style bar bites and signature cocktails. Dishes include cheeseburger sliders, shrimp al pastor tacos, and indulgent brunch options like towering pancake stacks and “Big AF Crookies.”

The bar has earned an AHEAD award for its innovative concept and design, and continues to draw crowds for its immersive atmosphere and lively programming. While walk-ins are welcome, reservations are recommended, especially for weekend brunch or late-night parties. Note: the venue is 21+ except during brunch hours, and a physical ID is required for entry.
