Beast & Butterflies
At M Social Times Square · 7F
A rooftop restaurant and bar on the seventh floor of M Social Times Square, with a wraparound outdoor terrace and an indoor glass perch above the neon of Times Square. The space combines New York-inspired art with a cocktail and bites program designed for lingering, and pulls in both pre-theater crowds and hotel guests in equal measure.
Neighborhood
Midtown · Times Square
Atmosphere
The atmosphere shifts between the terrace and the interior — open and electric outside with the city's lights below, warmer and more sheltered inside the glass-enclosed bar.
Key features
The terrace faces the marquee lights of 52nd Street head-on, offering the clearest ball drop sightline without street-level crowds, cocktails are named after NYC cultural touchstones (the Ghostbusters riff 'Who You Gonna Call?' is a reliable opener), the indoor perch functions as its own quieter room — same view, dramatically less wind

About the hotel
A lifestyle hotel in Times Square, on West 52nd Street a short walk from Broadway's theater row. Close enough to feel everything the city throws at you, the property draws a crowd that moves between shows, the rooftop, and the street below. Beast & Butterflies on the seventh-floor terrace offers one of the few guaranteed sightlines to the Times Square ball drop.
