New Gowanus Club is Getting There

Ultraviolet, the club on 7th Street and 3rd Avenue that’s been in the works for about a year and a half, is nearing completion. The large lounge, which will have bars and DJ booths on three separate floors, has an impressive pedigree—one of the owners of the East Village’s popular but now defunct Save the Robots is behind the venture—and it’s on the same block as the Bell House. The space looks almost finished (no interior picture-taking is allowed, unfortunately, but it’s pretty slick). The owners are waiting on a final city inspection and their liquor license, so it’ll probably open within the next 3 to 6 months. GMAP
c-gar, if I recall correctly area was wednesday nights. I think they changed by-monthly. Loved the pool. It was the first place where someone offered me coke. When r u approaching 45, I do it n Jan.
1984-1985 were great times to go club hopping, nobody cared what you were into, segregation and club kids came along after that and it got boring. Favs were BoyBar, Madame Rosa’s, Forty Worth and Palladium. Only got to Save the Robots a couple of times as I always worked on Sundays.
Mr. Joist, yes, I believe so as to Save the Robots – definitely Alphabet City. Don’t recall The Cooler though.
Doh! I was thinking of The Cooler – is that place still around? Save the Robots was on Ave B, right?
DeLepp, as I recall Area always had a theme, which would change weekly? Monthly? Last night, and last Thursday, and the Thursday before that, are beginning to remind me of my long nights out at Area, followed by a long “morning” out at East of Eden (where they would frisk you on your way in) or another after hours club. As I just told wasder on the OT, as I approach 45, I think I’m having a bit of a mid-life crisis and reliving 1984!
c-gar, now you’ve done it by my mentioning area. My bones and joints are a aching!
Florent was in the Meatpacking District, c.1990 until recently.
gs3, I used to love going to (illegal) after hours clubs. The other one I remember well was East of Eden – it was near Varick Street, not too far from Area.
Florent?
wrong hood.
25 yrs too late
Are you talking about Florent?! I loved that place. Save the Robots … geez … only time I even danced in a repurposed meat locker (as far as I remember). Very happy 3rd Ave is blossoming with places like this.
I loved saved the robots! I lived a block away a long time ago.
But what was great about it was that it was after hours (illegal).
I hope Ultraviolet works.
Break a leg.
