About this space

Features: The Rooftop provides a mix of high-top tables and stools, shaded umbrellas, and an adjacent covered counter area for bar service. The space includes Wi-Fi and an open layout that supports a PA system and a flexible area for dancing; hosts may play their own music or bring a DJ.

Ideal for: This rooftop suits lively, social groups who want a casual mix of standing and seated areas and an informal, music-led gathering.

What guests say: The rooftop delivers an energetic atmosphere and consistently attentive, fast service from staff during busy events.

Event space was large, convenient to travel too, and hospitable. Would highly recommend!
Speakers could use a little upgrade to be more compatible with higher end DJ equipment but it was fine nonetheless.

The Rutherford is perfect for those who want to host a party in a more upscale location. The venue was classy, lively, and immaculate. Our guests complimented the choice of venue as well as the food that was served. The staff was attentive and very helpful. Jack, the bartender, even gave me a drink on the house. It was also a pleasure coordinating the details of the event with Emma. Will definitely consider this venue again in the future.

Amazing experience with The Rutherford for my post-NYC Marathon family/friends gathering. The space was perfect, comfortable and fun vibes. The food was a hit, too! Emma's communication from the beginning was amazing! Thank you so much!
