Overview

A minimalist dance and DJ focused club stays open til 4am 7 nights a week. It's crazy corny fun for a crowd way too busy bouncin' to bother with bottle service.

History

The lease ran out before the party did

Santos Party House was owned in part by Andrew W.K. and Despot, and our old review found a crowd too busy bouncing to bother with bottle service1. The downstairs space opened on May 14, 2008, and the last night was Sunday, May 29, 20161, 2. The club said its 10-year lease was up and it wasn't renewing1. The space is now Soho Live, which took it over in 20253, 4.
