Why you should visit Bar SixtyFive at Rockefeller.
Bar SixtyFive, perched atop 30 Rockefeller Plaza, feels like the city’s best-kept secret hiding in plain sight, a sanctuary of skyline seduction and golden-hour allure. Here, the martinis arrive chilled to perfection, the skyline stretches infinite and close enough to touch, and conversation hums like jazz beneath the clinking of crystal.
It’s not merely a bar but an experience of altitude and attitude, the kind that makes you fall in love with New York all over again. From this vantage point, you see the Empire State Building standing proud in the distance, Central Park sprawling like a green sea, and the Hudson River catching the last kiss of sunlight. Bar SixtyFive captures the essence of the city at its most intoxicating, modern, magnetic, and alive.
What you didn’t know about Bar SixtyFive at Rockefeller.
What most guests don’t realize is that Bar SixtyFive occupies the historic space adjoining the legendary Rainbow Room, sharing its lineage of mid-century opulence.
Its interiors, though updated, preserve the same Art Deco DNA, mirrored columns, sweeping arches, and an understated glow that feels cinematic. Every design choice honors Rockefeller Center’s original intent: to merge elegance with accessibility. Even the name “SixtyFive” is a nod to its elevation on the 65th floor, symbolizing both luxury and liberation. Once the private domain of Manhattan’s elite, this space has evolved into a democratic haven where locals and travelers toast the skyline together, continuing a tradition of glamour now reimagined for the modern age.
