Private Event Space in NYC
12,000 Sq Ft Event Venue
First opened in 1938 by theatrical showman and impresario Billy Rose, the Diamond Horseshoe was known for dinner theaters, vaudeville-style reviews, and a chorus of showgirls called “Billy Rose’s Long-Stemmed Beauties.”
Since being taken over by new owners Blue Note Entertainment Group and dubbed Sony Hall for our 2018 reopening, the landmark space has been restored and now offers a personalized experience for any private event as a full-service venue.
Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan by Times Square, Sony Hall is the place to go if you’re looking for new private event venues that can cater to your every need. With an open floor plan, two full bars and the ability to create a catwalk, as well as an additional center stage, Sony Hall can be reinvented to suit your personalized specifications.

Our venue includes three distinct spaces that can be used to fit your needs for any occasion.
