    We are excited to be partnering with one of NYC’s most popular Broadway shows, Back to the Future! The Musical, for an 80s themed karaoke pop-up installation this winter. Reservations are one hour and 15 minutes, and each guest will receive a complimentary 80s themed cocktail to go with their experience. The karaoke space is shared, so general reservations might be paired with others to enjoy the experience together. Groups of more than 10 people can book private events by emailing MillenniumNYC_Sales@highgate.com. We invite you to sing your hearts out while enjoying breathtaking views of Times Square. Perfect for a night out, group gatherings, corporate parties, or any special event!

    We arrived in time for our booking but our table wasn’t ready. We were asked to wait for 10-15 minutes so went outside to take some photos of Time Square. On returning to take our seats we were literally pounced on by our waiter to order before we had even got a drink. We asked twice for more time to choose our food. Our waiter wasn’t happy and didn’t come back for quite some time. We had to call the manager over to get served. The restaurant wasn’t busy so didn’t really understand what happened! The food was fine and views of Times Square amazing but the experience overall was disappointing. We booked the restaurant weeks before our trip to New York having seen YouTubers recommendations! We wouldn’t return again unfortunately.

    Excellent food and view. Service was a little slow and less attentive than I would expect.

    Fantastic experience. Food was spectacular even with the higher price tag. Service was great. Cocktails were a little too pricey for the quality but not enough that I would consider it unreasonable. View was utterly to die for. Overall classy and worth it experience.

    We enjoyed our evening celebrating friends' birthday. Food and drinks were excellent, service was fast and right on point. We loved the Times Square view. Will be back next year.

    We reserved in advance after seeing pictures in IG and FB of the rooftop patio overlooking Times Square. Our experience did not disappoint! Beast and Butterfly at the MSocial hotel felt upscale and special though the price point was similar to the taverns and small borough restaurants or clubs we’d eaten in. Our charming waiter went out of his way to make us feel comfortable, he even spoke French to us when he heard us speaking. One person in our group who was celebrating a birthday got spoiled with a slice of NY cheesecake and the wait staff singing happy birthday. A perfect evening to cap off an unforgettable 5-day trip to NY!
