Clean/new sneakers should be acceptable. The general rule is to dress cocktail chic - if the sneakers fit a nice look, then it should be OK. If you look like you are going to the gym, it will likely not be OK. All decisions are at the discretion of our managers and staff.
If you want to stay there without spending money, you can go to the outside part and see the views for two hours, but there is no much space.
However you will always have to consume something from the bar ( cocktel, cup of wine....)
Hello Robert - we have select events in the Rainbow Room, but our Dinner and Dancing evenings have definitely been discontinued. Try to catch one of our Live! from the Rainbow Room shows.
For Rainbow Room, we are mostly a private event space so that would depend on the event. For our cocktail lounge, Bar SixtyFive, yes you must be 21 or older. We do not serve alcohol to minors according to the law.
Are you able to go for drinks only? What would be the charge and hours for this? Is there a requirement for dress code and shoe wear?

Hello Mary, yes you may join us just for cocktails. You can do this on a walk-in basis, though depending on the time of year, you may have you wait in our mezzanine lobby to get in, so come early. Our dress code is smart casual.
Hi, I’m trying to make a reservation for dinner in December but the website says sorry that you don’t take reservations that far in advance. How far in advance can I book please?

We accept reservations six weeks in advance.
I was there for brunch around two years ago, now I’m coming back to New York and I’m trying to reserve a table for brunch again but I can’t find where. Do they still serve brunch?

Hello, as of now, we do not have any brunches planned.
We are attending a wedding on November 3, 2018 and the instructions for Access is to take the escalator to the mezzanine level to then take an elevator to the 65th floor.
I can not use an escalator.

Hello Suzanne,
We have elevators to get you upstairs, no problem. We can assist you upon arrival. Please do contact us directly through our website, by phone or through your event's coordinator to eliminate any doubts or questions.
Better view of what? Both rooms are on the 65th floor. however I guess it depends on what you are trying to see. I found that most of the pics I've taken there have been from the room located between rainbow room and bar65.
I would say around sun set as you can watch the darkness falls and brings it more to light in a sense.
Also the out door be open so get same views but less tourism but local with $$ pushing you around.. as we had that experience
Hi Kathleen, we're not sure what these other users mean by renting the Rainbow Room, but we definitely planning on being open for New Year's Eve. We have done it for a few years now and it is always a ticketed event. Separately, if you did want to book a private event in the Rainbow Room, you could do that as well on another evening.
