Why The Ivory Peacock Ranks as NYC’s Best Private Event Venue
NYC’s best private event venues solve three challenges: creating atmosphere without extensive decoration, delivering exceptional food and beverage experiences, and providing flexibility for different event types. The Ivory Peacock addresses all three with antique chandeliers and Louis XV giltwood mirrors providing built-in elegance, the largest gin collection in the U.S. offering unmatched beverage depth, and four distinct spaces across two levels. Below are the reasons private event hosts consistently choose us.
The Second Largest Gin Bar in the World
We house over 1,000 gin varieties with 860+ gins in our collection, the largest in the U.S. The Gin Experience features six hand-selected gins from around the world, each with unique flavor profiles and stories explained through traditions and techniques, ideal for private gatherings and work outings. The Gin Bible offers 200+ gins with tasting notes covering London Dry, contemporary styles, and botanicals, including distillery details and pairing suggestions crafted for enthusiasts, explorers, and connoisseurs.
Our signature Gin & Tonic Tray Service provides bespoke pairings that turn your private event bar into a destination experience. We built this program with seasonal spins on classic cocktails, fresh ingredients, and modern techniques to elevate private events beyond standard service.
Upscale Yet Approachable Atmosphere for Every Event
We blend luxury cocktail bar ambiance with an upscale yet approachable atmosphere that works for corporate and social private events equally. Our space features outdoor seating, great cocktails, and dancing.
We have climate controlled spaces, restrooms in multiple locations, and a built-in dance floor. This flexibility means your private event flows naturally from cocktails to dinner to celebration without logistical complications, and we allow late night hours so events aren’t constrained by early curfews.
Customizable Private Event Packages
We handle the bar in house with multiple open bar service levels and customizable beverage packages to suit guest preferences. Our team knows this collection and guides your guests through selections they’ve never encountered. Our private event packages include flexible spaces for intimate gatherings or large-scale celebrations with options for seated dinners, cocktail receptions, or full buyouts.
We provide exceptional service and curated cuisine in an elegant ambiance. Most private event hosts find they don’t need additional decor because the antique chandeliers, Louis XV giltwood mirrors, and velvet seating deliver the sophistication your event requires.
