The End of Upstairs
What can you say about Upstairs, other than it was fun while it lasted. Originally outed in a Page Six item, the Soho club became notorious on the tubes of DBTH, with its curtains, Diddy fights, rules for entry, and Wayne's general disdain for us. But the fun time is over for now. After seeing our report of a lack of activity the past few weeks, a Little Birdy told us
I'm pretty sure it may be done for good. When they applied for the liquor license, they applied for a restaurant license which means they have to stop serving after 10pm - this was obviously not happening.
But all hope is not lost. According to our commenters, the Upstairs team is "moving it down the block to fr.og and changing the name". This means that Origine, which was Zev Norotsky project, obviously didn't pan out so good. Sigh. Apparently the Upstairs team has been working round the clock on getting the space ready, and will unveil their creation sometime in the next few weeks.

sad day
whos the upstairs team? danny A and a bunch of curly headed Israelis that harass girls while they walk by that shithole corner on Broadway? I dont even grace those people with a walk by. I cross the street.
hm anti-semetic much?
DBTH will be hard at work and will have more posts than ever in the coming months, maybe even the coming year(s). Yes, they will be busy reporting to us upscale places that were once cool at $18 per drink, that can no longer stay open because people have finally realized how annoying it is to buy $18 drinks in this rough economy (myself included). What a shame that it takes an economic depression to realize that 18 is too much for a damn drink. Once every bar/club that was once cool closes DBTH will be reporting us breaking news that Wayne only allows tall blonds through the breadline.
rose bar has 25 dollar drinks.....same as gold bar. they are always busy. i guess upstairs wasnt really high end. rich people are always rich "money making"...guess u are not really making money.
