New Year’s Eve in San Francisco takes on many forms and one elevated place – quite literally – to spend it is at Cityscape Bar.
Located in the Union Square Hilton 46 floors above Union Square, Cityscape is the tallest skybar in San Francisco and offers 360° views of “the City” as locals call it. And that means you’ve got one of the most spectacular view for San Francisco’s New Year’s Eve fireworks show.
Shot from barges located between the south side of the Agriculture Building and the north side of Pier 14, San Fransico’s New Year’s Eve fireworks show begins at midnight on New Year’s Eve and lasts for approximately 15 minutes.
“We have the best views in town for ringing in 2024,” said Hilton Complex General Manager Peter Hart.
At Cityscape’s NYE party, you get:
• Music from DJ MOJO
• Drink specials & small bites for purchase
• A complimentary Moët & Chandon mini bottle at midnight for each guest to toast the New Year
This event is for guests ages 21+ only. Seating is first come, first served unless a bottle service package is purchased. Cocktail attire is requested.
If you don’t know what to get off the libations menu, Cityscape’s signature drink is the Buzz Bar alcoholic popsicle, which is submerged in a glass of sparkling white wine. Other drinks include neighborhood-inspired creations such as Golden Gate with Bozal EnsambleMezcal; Pacific Heights, made with Nolet’s gin and Riondo prosecco; and Cole Valley, a floral blend with a base of Ketel One Botanical Vodka and Yellow Chartreuse.
The menu also includes small plates, Bay Area craft beer and wine, top-shelf liquors, and a private reserve collection featuring rare vintages from prominent wineries such as California-based Stag’s Leap, Duckhorn, and Raymond Vineyard.
Tickets to the Cityscape NYE party are $200 and $1,500 for a VIP corner seating table. They can be purchased here.
