China Club
The origin of the China Club could not have been more humble. It began as a neighborhood nightclub with live music and dancing. Within a few months of its opening, the nightclub began to attract a devoted clientele that included many talented musicians.
However, on November 19, 1985, the neighborhood club was catapulted into rock and roll history when David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Stevie Winwood all showed up to help celebrate the birthday of drummer Steve Ferrone (Duran Duran, Eric Clapton). On that night, they decided to stage an impromptu jam session but needed a guitarist. Bowie ran to the phone and twenty minutes later, Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones appeared. They jammed for over an hour -- hit after hit. When it was over and widely reported, there was no doubt -- the China Club had arrived...
In early 1997, the original China Club on Manhattan's Upper West Side closed.
In January of 1998, the new China Club opened in the center of Manhattan's refurbished entertainment district - Times Square and drew scores of A-list celebrities from the fields of music, sports, film, fashion and Broadway, and thousands of happy party-goers alike.
The China Club consists of three floors, with 8,000 square feet on the first two floors and 7,000 on the new Jade Terrace Rooftop Lounge and Garden.
