What People Are Saying About 40/40 Club

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

Named after baseball players who've hit 40 home runs and stolen 40 bases in one season, 40/40 draws attractive professionals with a love of sports and Jay-Z. Everything about the rapper's venture is cool--sleek flat-screen televisions, gray Italian marble floor and suspended swinging lounge chairs. If you've got game, head to the second floor, with an additional bar and some very VIP rooms. Don't expect peanuts or cheap beer, but do expect to chow down on tasty wings and hear a heavy rotation of Jay-Z and Beyonce hits as you chill in the cigar or pool lounge. – – Hits: Drinks are…

Editor's Tips

Look Good:
The dress code says no sneakers, jerseys, construction boots or baseball caps.
Where to Sit:
Grab a seat at one of the three tables on the stair landing--they have a perfect view of the 10-foot widescreen TV.
The Extras:
For the ultimate sports-viewing experience, book the upstairs Remy Lounge with private sound system, king-sized banquette, pool table and an $8,000 bottle of Louis XIII cognac.
When to Go:
While it's open daily 5pm-4am, the club may be open at other times, depending on the game.

  2. Also the drinks were so expensive.
  3. The drinks are OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive.
  4. The drinks where good and the food
  5. Overrated with expensive drinks
  6. We sat at a table early in the evening when fewer than 40 people where in the place and ordered drinks while we waited for the rest of our party to show, but because we didn't order food from the menu (the cheapest being $80 appetizers for a party of 10)
  7. The drinks and wings we loved but we hated the prices.
  8. We walked in and were unexpectedly suprised by the club - it wasn't a upscale sports bar in the traditional sense, but rather a nightclub with big screens.
  9. Once we got inside it was a nice bar to look at, but the employees were a great turn-off because of their attitudes& arrogance.
  10. Cigars were TOP NOTCH, drinks solid, liked the fact that tips were included - food was amazing - A must for a

  12. The atmosphere was horrible, no one was dancing, the dj was absolutely terrible and lets not get started with the drinks.
  13. Busboys crashing into people with trays, service was slow, and the food and drinks are way overpriced.
  14. (although the guy standing near the sink with the towels was nice) then i went back out and went downstairs to get a drink.
  15. This was after snacking on mediocre appetizers in a more than chilly sterile room, being swooped upon by vulture-like busboys who basically snatched every lingering drink, plate and napkin from sight.
  16. Beer is relatively reasonable at $5 (for Bud and the like) and $7 (for anything else), but the cocktails are $12 and up and served in small glasses overloaded with ice.
  17. The drinks were overpriced - really, 10$ for a vodka 7?
  18. Not a good crowd, way too many posers (but what do you get when you put a JayZ owned bar and no cover charge together).
  19. its like an upper level with a downstairs bar and huge screens playing espn all over the place.
  20. The drinks are pricey -- 12 for cocktails and there's no where really to stand.
  21. we don't want bottle service but will order drinks and food.
  22. the drinks were not that expensive.
  23. The drinks are expensive but very good.
  24. the crowd was friendly even the bouncers and bar tenders were chill and the service was on point.
  25. Order your drinx from the bar, they have liquor!
  26. Horrible sports bar.
  27. Great upscale sports bar.
  28. Its typically an older crowd, not much room to dance, and expensive drinks.
  29. The service was excellent and the drinks/food were okay.
  30. The staff was great the atmosphere was great and the drinks were even better.
  31. I'm sure the VIP rooms are better, right J- at least there you can smoke cigars all night, while the common people pay for overpriced drinks by a rude staff.
  32. The drinks are good and the food is eclectic.

New York's Premier Sports Bar/Lounge

by MsNico at Citysearch

Staff: Great

Decor: Beautiful

Food: Delicious

As a fan of Jay-z I decided to try his latest business venture, the 40/40 Club. And true to Mr. Carter's form, the 40/40 Club didn't disappoint. I went on a Monday night to watch the Knicks and to grab a bite to eat with my man. And I couldn't have had a better experience. The club looks amazing and gives off an intimate yet exclusive vibe that I enjoyed. There was music in the background that wasn't overpowering which allowed me and my boyfriend to have a conversation while watching the game (which I can promise you I enjoyed more than he did). We were treated like VIP's from the moment we walked into the door, greeted by a hostess who seated us in a great "stadium" like section, that gave us a great view of the large screens in the main bar. The food was absolutely delicious and our server was courteous and knowledgeable of the menu and able to make suggestions that she thought we would enjoy.

Even as we enjoyed our meal, we were offered a tour of club and was able to see the beauty of the entire structure on both levels. Kudos to the staff and management for running such a great establishment. We'll be back for Valentine's Day.

Great Night In A Great Club

by MsChaya at Citysearch

was at the 40/40 Club last night to help celebrate the NY GIANTS Superbowl Victory and had an AMAZING experience. Between the decor and the service, I was completely blown away, but what else can you expect from a business owned by Jay-z? The host who greeted me the door was gracious and my server was very sweet and knowledgeable about the menu and made some great suggestions. I enjoyed the 40/40 wings as an appetizer and the collossal shrimp as an entree, and both were delicious. After enjoying a delicious dinner, where I was able to watch the New York Knicks beat the Los Angeles Lakers, I stayed to help the NY Giants celebrate their Superbowl victory. I even enjoyed the crowd that celebrated along with the Giants. All in all I had a great experience and can't wait to experience it again.

Would I recommend this bar/lounge/restaurant to other people? Yes I would and I will make sure that I am with them to enjoy it.
