History

Ten million dollars of sports lounge

The venue at 6 West 25th Street was a favorite of star athletes like LeBron James, and it played host to album-release parties, celebrity birthday bashes and appearances by the Obamas¹. It belonged to Jay-Z, who had owned the Flatiron sports lounge since it opened in 2003^{1, 2}.

In 2012 it reopened after a $10 million renovation². It lasted eleven more years: the original Flatiron location ceased operations in July 2023, after two decades^{1, 2}.

The club's website, for its part, says: "We are currently closed but coming soon"³.
