Magic Hour · Rooftop Bar · New York
Carousel bar, putt-putt and Empire State views over Times Square
Magic Hour sits on the 18th floor of the Moxy Times Square at 485 7th Avenue, billed as the city's largest all-season hotel rooftop and built entirely for fun. Across 10,000 square feet it pairs a head-on view of a lit-up Empire State Building with a slowly rotating carousel bar, a mini putt-putt course, an oversized topiary garden, and several bars strung with lights. This is a big, high-energy scene made for group celebrations, birthdays, and bachelorette nights that start at sunset and roll late.
The layout works as three spaces in one: an indoor lounge and two outdoor terraces. The east terrace frames the Empire State Building straight on and draws the shot everyone comes for. The west side holds the rotating carousel seating and the putt-putt course, dotted with oversized animals in

What is the dress code at Magic Hour?
Magic Hour runs an upscale nightlife dress code: stylish, dressed-up attire. Avoid athletic wear, gym shoes, and overly casual looks. Your MyRSVP host manages the door with your table, and we confirm the current policy with your booking.
