Enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres or dinner showcasing the best local ingredients in the elegant atmosphere of the Park & Irving Room, complemented by the original artworks that make Union Square Cafe a true New York original. The Park & Irving room accommodates up to 40 guests seated or 45 guests standing, with options to enjoy pre-dinner cocktails in the room or the adjacent Parlor Bar.

Extend the celebration at The Parlor Bar, our semi-private space that may be added to a Park & Irving event for pre-dinner cocktails from 5:00 – 6:00 PM or 6:00 – 7:00 PM every day of the week. The Parlor Bar offers a full service walk-up bar as well as ample seating for cocktails and views of the Main Dining Room below. This space is not available as a stand-alone option. Reservations can be made pending availability, and are charged on an hourly basis.

Our semi-private space overlooking the buzz and lively energy of the main dining room seats up to 10 guests at a single oval table, crafted from black walnut by Maine artisan Mark White. The Alcove is ideal for making intimate celebrations and small gatherings truly special.

Take the celebration outside during the warm months with The Pavilion, our outdoor area. This covered, sidewalk cafe-style experience located on bustling 19th Street is the perfect space to host a standing cocktail reception during happy hour and beyond. Available May – October.

For larger parties, Union Square Cafe can be yours for the evening or afternoon. Welcome your guests into our space for a seated dinner with up to 120 guests, or a standing cocktail reception with up to 200 guests. Our team will work with you to plan the perfect event, and will be on hand to take care of your guests as they enjoy our seasonal cuisine, wine and cocktails.
