The Friars Club

Room 52 NYC is a speakeasy and club located at 212 East 52nd Street in Midtown Manhattan in the former space of a historic, but abandoned jazz club. The new owners renovated the space in 2019, during Covid, as a private club and event space for locals. Now, there is an upgraded sound system and professional lighting, with the speakeasy bar stocked with nostalgic candy, fine chocolate, and craft cocktails. The club has a secret calendar with Comedy Nights, Jazz Jams, one-of-a-kind performances and live shows. You never know who will grace the stage. In the past, Dominick and Sting played some of the songs they wrote together. These days, you might catch a rising star or a writer testing new material for Late Night Comedy.
