The rooftop at Xia absolutely doubles as a little live-music
hideaway on many nights — I’ve been a few times and it always feels like a compact festival under the stars.
They bring in local acoustic acts and small
Jazz trios, and some weekends feature a DJ spinning mellow sets that fit the sunset-to-
night shift. The sound setup is intimate rather than stadium-level, so it's perfect for conversations that don't get drowned out; there's usually a small raised area or corner for performers and a subtle PA system.
On the private-event side, Xia handles birthdays, rehearsal dinners, small corporate mixers, and engagement parties. They offer tailored menus, cocktail packages, and basic AV (microphone and small speaker) — you can request extra touches like string lights, a custom cake setup, or a plated tasting menu. The staff coordinates timing and weather contingencies for the rooftop, and I found their event manager responsive when I helped a friend plan a surprise. All told, it's one of my favorite spots for a cozy, memorable night with live tunes and skyline views; I always leave humming a song.
