Last call, then curtain up
We called it a minimal, dark, clubby DJ den in the former Remote Lounge space1. Minimal, by Time Out's account, meant a bar of wenge, a dark African wood, custom-made mohair couches and vintage trunks that doubled as extra seating1. The 2,000-square-foot drinkery came from three nightlife entrepreneurs: Johnny T of Black & White, Mike Stuto of HiFi and Jesse Malin of Niagara1.
The East Village staple ended its run as a rock club and nightclub hybrid on January 30, 20262. The plan was for the same address to relaunch less than three weeks later, on February 18, as the Bowery Palace, a 100-seat theater, starting with Silver Manhattan, an autobiographical production set to run five nights a week through March 292.
Its website now reads "Bowery Palace - Formerly Bowery Electric"3. The East Village grows up, or at least sits down.
