There are plenty of amazing clubs in Manhattan, but only one is owned by the legendary rapper and businessman Jay-Z: the 40/40 Club. Whether you are visiting the city or a resident, a visit to the club is a surefire way to have a cool night out in the city that never sleeps. It's quite possibly the most stylish place to watch the game in all of Manhattan, too. If you're looking for an upscale experience with a little sports on the side, check out the 40/40 Club. It's the best celebrity-owned club in New York City.
The club takes its name from one of the most impressive feats a baseball player could ever hope to achieve in the pros: hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases in one season. In the history of the MLB, there are only four players who can claim this title.
The club was opened by Jay-Z in 2003. The rapper is a giant sports fan, and wanted to create a refined atmosphere for him to take in a game. It has since turned into a chain with locations in Atlanta, Las Vegas and Brooklyn, but there is nothing like the original Manhattan location.
Cocktails run the gamut from sweet and innovate to classic. Food at the 40/40 Club is sports bar food, elevated. What goes better with a game than some wings? We recommend the Southern-fried shrimp or any of the club’s sliders.
The walls at the 40/40 Club are filled with sports memorabilia, including autographed gloves from the legendary Ali vs. Frazier boxing match of 1974. You can even enjoy a game of pool.
You never know who might show up at the 40/40 Club!
Another amazing feature of the 40/40 Clubs are its private rooms for rental. If you have the cash to spend, it makes for a luxurious way to hang out with your friends and watch a game or two.
There are a lot of celebrity-owned establishments in New York, but few are as classy and fun as Jay-Z's joint. So give this celebrity-owned club in New York City a try next time you are in Manhattan. While you are in the city, why not also check out one of the world's biggest department stores?
