Country Club is a sophisticated, high-energy cocktail
lounge that combines elements of a modern social club
with a live entertainment venue, for a unique nightlife
experience. Located just off Manhattan”s Meatpacking
District, Country Club represents a contemporary interpretation
of classic clubhouse lounges found in early 20th century
country clubs throughout the United States and Great
Britain.
The energy and feel of Country Club is driven by its
design and exceptional musical entertainment. The venue’s
design concept creates the feeling of being in the great
room of an elegant private estate. Décor development
was assigned to Jeani Ziering, the renowned
interior designer known for her work on private residences
in Palm Beach, Southampton, and Manhattan’s Upper
East Side. Her inspiration for the club’s design
was a vision of “The Rolling Stones recording an
album at a traditional English Manor and the environment
that would be left upon the album’s completion.” The
feeling of warmth and affluence commonly found in classic
homes and estates has been reproduced and updated, with
an edge. The designer has utilized luxurious fabrics
and timeless patterns (including alligator skin and houndstooth
prints), and a color palette that will juxtapose the
classic clubhouse furnishings.
The venue has a centralized stage for showcasing a rotating
lineup of live entertainment. The club will feature performances
by premier rock/pop artists, as well as independent café-style
performers who will take the stage in the early evening,
during cocktail hours. Later in the evening, the venue
will transform into a more traditional nightspot, with
sets by an ongoing rotation of top-tier local and international
DJ talent. Country Club’s clientele will experience
the energy, excitement, and environment of Manhattan’s
most exclusive nightclubs and lounges. Focused on a commitment
to servicing our customers every whim, revelers will
be treated like members of a posh British country club.
By marrying the sophistication of an upscale cocktail
lounge with late night energy of a nightclub, Country
Club will be a must for refined New York socializing.
The menu at Country Club is focused on fresh interpretations
of classic cocktails and bar snacks. The cocktail list
is centered on an extensive list of Bellini”s,
featuring 15 variations on the high-society cocktail.
Club goers will have their choice of peach, roasted pear,
orange-cardamom, chocolate-espresso and a Bordeaux version,
inspired by the region of France, and an assortment of
others. Additional cocktails on the menu include a Basil
Vodka Gimlet, the “Country Club” punch
bowl, and a classic Mint Julep. Country Club’s
signature bar snacks include scrumptious selections like
the Truffled Grilled Cheese, “Pigs in a Blanket” Lollipops,
and a dish of Peaches with Prosciutto and Basil. In addition,
the club offers 10 gourmet popcorn flavors, including
Sweet Georgia Pecan and Chocolate Chunk & Caramel.
