From comedians to cabaret, NYC Friars Club is a private club made just for entertainers. Current management is dedicated to preserving the clubs integrity, but at the same time is welcoming a fresh, young crowd of New York professionals.
Say the words "Friar's Club" to any native New Yorker of a certain age and they'll conjure up images of a golden era. Through the years comedy legends like Milton Berle, George Burns and Jerry Lewis have been members of the New York landmark institution. 🏆
And that, odd as it may seem, was a problem. Its grand traditions aside, the Friars Club pre-pandemic didn't exactly attract a Gen X or Millennial crowd. It's hard to pull in a youthful audience when some of your biggest stars are often seen in fuzzy black and white images. 🎥
Fast forward to April 2021, after being closed for over a year following the COVID-19 shuttering, the Friars Club has officially reopened and is debuting a whole new makeover to members and guests.
