RestaurantAbout
The 40/40 Club is an upscale sports bar and lounge chain co-founded by Jay-Z in New York City. The name is inspired by the rare baseball achievement of hitting 40 home runs and stealing 40 bases in a single season. Originally opened in 2003, the club has expanded to other locations, including Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, though some have since closed. The venues are known for their luxurious decor, featuring extensive sports memorabilia, including autographed jerseys and historical items like the Ali vs. Frazier gloves. The 40/40 Club offers a sophisticated dining experience with upscale American sports bar cuisine. It features large screen TVs for top sporting events and VIP rooms for exclusive gatherings. The JAY-Z Lounge, one of the largest VIP areas, includes bespoke seating, a custom billiard table, and high-definition TVs. The club is a popular spot for celebrities and sports enthusiasts alike, offering a unique blend of entertainment and luxury. Despite the closure of its flagship location, The 40/40 Club is set to reopen in a new venue in New York City in 2025.
