What we’re about

From a small crowd at their first event at Madame X in the East Village to a bustling monthly Delancey Rooftop meetup, Poly Cocktails has grown to become the largest regular social gathering in New York. The event celebrated their 18th anniversary in February 2025 after reconvening in July 2022.

The event is held the second Monday of every month. The event is 21+. RSVPs and COVID-19 vaccinations are mandatory.

We generally have 120+ people that attend throughout the night. They are between the ages of 21 and 87, with the vast majority in their mid-20s through mid-50s. They are variously experienced, from brand new to nonmonogamy veterans. They are a mix of professionals, blue collar workers, artists, scientists, visitors from other cities, students, and retirees. Because we are a private event, everyone is vetted. The crowd is super friendly and many of us engage in multiple forms of mutual aid.
