JAY-Z To Reopen 40/40 Club in New York City in 2025

As a long-time resident and enthusiast of New York City‘s vibrant nightlife scene, I can hardly contain my excitement about the impending reopening of JAY-Z’s iconic 40/40 Club! For nearly two decades, this establishment has been synonymous with Manhattan’s coolest and most sophisticated social gatherings. The prospect of experiencing its legendary atmosphere once again fills me with an unparalleled sense of nostalgia and anticipation.


The 40/40 Club, owned by JAY-Z, isn’t completely shutting down as previously speculated. Instead, there are plans to revitalize this iconic New York City nightlife venue and reopen it in a new location by 2025. For the past two decades, the club has maintained its grip on the city’s nightlife scene and established itself as a cultural symbol in Manhattan.

Last week at Fanatics Fest, celebrities got a sneak peek of the revamped 40/40 Club design and what it will offer. JAY, the club’s proprietor, hinted at integrating live sports betting into the venue during his presentation. The event was jointly organized with Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin, and JAY showcased a temporary setup of the 40/40 Club. Notable attendees included sports stars like Tom Brady, Quavo, Travis Scott, Carmelo Anthony, and others, who gathered at the Javits Center. When it opens, visitors to 40/40 will be able to place live wagers on sporting events while watching them at the venue. The club is also set to include Fanatics Sportsbook.

40/40 Club Vice President of Operations Sheldon Robinson shared with US Weekly that it has long been the plan to open a new location for the club. Finding the perfect spot that aligns with the brand is crucial, and this process requires time. They have now whittled down their choices to a few finalists and are currently in the negotiation phase. Robinson expressed optimism that by the end of the year, they will secure a lease and commence construction. The goal is to open the club in 2025. Regarding Jay-Z’s involvement, Robinson confirmed that he is keen on preserving the club as part of his legacy. In fact, Jay-Z has been actively participating in the decision-making process, attending site visits and meetings, to shape the vision and future of the 40/40 Club. At Fanatics Fest, a pop-up version of the club will be set up, recreating the atmosphere of the original club but with some updates. The pop-up will feature familiar elements such as the Hall of Fame wall, champagne tower, giant screens, and more. The purpose of the 40/40 Club remains unchanged: to offer guests a luxurious experience that includes quality service, good food, sports entertainment, and music. Robinson emphasized their commitment to maintaining this consistency.

Stay tuned on more information on the opening of the new 40/40 Club.
