Your New Go-To for NYC Private Events: A Look Inside Tara Rose
Planning a party in New York City can be tough. You spend hours searching for the right spot, only to find places that are either too expensive, too small, or just don't feel right. We get it. That’s why at Tara Rose, a well-loved Irish-American bar in Murray Hill, we've built our private events around a simple idea: making your celebration easy, transparent, and unforgettable.
Experience the Difference: No-Fee Event Spaces
One of the biggest headaches when planning a private event is the venue fee. We've eliminated that. At Tara Rose, we offer three distinct private spaces—including our secret speakeasy—for a no-fee rental. Instead, we work with a simple minimum spend, so your entire budget goes directly towards what your guests will enjoy: handcrafted cocktails, incredible food, and a fantastic atmosphere. It's an approach built on trust and a commitment to making your party-planning experience stress-free.
More Than Just a Space: The Tara Rose Experience
After years in the hospitality industry, our team knows a thing or two about throwing a great party. We've perfected the blend of personalized service and a lively, feel-good vibe.
The Mixology Masters: Our bartenders are true masters of their craft, known for making some of the best Palomas and Kickass Mules in the city. You and your guests will be treated to expertly crafted drinks using fresh, high-quality ingredients.
The Legendary Spice Bag: A great party needs great food. Our menu is designed to delight, and no dish gets more praise than our legendary Spice Bag, hailed as the "best in NYC" by the Irish Daily Star. It's a crowd-pleaser that will keep the energy going all night.
The Perfect Vibe: From Friday and Saturday DJ nights to the private, 70s-themed vibe of our speakeasy, Think Retro, we provide the perfect atmosphere for any celebration.
Real Parties, Real Experiences
Don't just take our word for it—the best proof of a great experience comes from our guests. Here's what they've said:

Her helpfulness, responsiveness, and kindness truly made the planning process stress-free. I celebrated my birthday in the speakeasy part of Tara Rose, and it was everything I could have asked for and more... I can’t wait to come back for another party! There aren’t enough words to express how amazing Tara Rose and their staff are."
