Greenhouse Gets Set
We've been seeing a ridiculous amount of chatter across the Birdy Wire about the pending opening of Greenhouse, Jon B's long in development nightclub that is LEED certified. Popcorn! Greenhouse will take over the former Club Shelter space at
150 Varick Street , and according to the press release:
Greenhouse is located at 150 Varick Street , in SoHo , and is designed to be a unique “green” experience. One of Greenhouse’s most spectacular attributes is the transparent ceiling fixture, compromised of over 5,000 individually hung crystals, which is designed to emulate a rolling landscape. The bars will be clear recycled glass panorama designs, which will display lush natural scenes. With two floors and two separate sound systems, Greenhouse offers multiple VIP sections both upstairs and down, and a raised performance stage and backstage section.
We like that there are multiple VIP sections, because there are some VIP's we just are more I than, and we don't want to be in their section. According to a Little Birdy, the "The space looks pretty raw at the moment" and "Barry from Stereo is involved in some capacity (think he raised capital to buy points from Jon and then resold them to his investors). Jon B. has been fishing this deal for a long time." What a dynamic duo! They are gunning for a late October opening, but early November is our call.

I work in the 150 varick building and work is continuing at a furious pace demo is almost done and frames for the new walls are going up - i popped my head in yesterday and was told the first party is scheduled for 10/26
JON B OWNS and RUNS DOWN BY THE HIPSTER. - seriously.
Really sad to hear the Shelter is actually closing and not opening again.
I spent many many great nights with Timmy Regisford there.
Read this on another board on post on too so it looks like its true :(
the area is going to pop. with trump soho as greenhouse's neighbor to the south, david bouley's new project across the street and Justin timberlakes new joint 1 block north this may be the new LES/MePa/27th St
Its the former FLOW space.... was DBTH actully wrong ??
jon b put chealsea out of business with his ghettoness im sure he will ruin this area to. Amazing how the community allows this
varick and vandam is right at the entrance of the holland tunnel. I heard its been delayed for so long because Jon and the team have been secretly building an express monorail from NJ through the holland tunnel directly into the club.
LOL someone commented on Jon B's clubs ghettoness? Anyone notice that Barry from Stereo is involved? Talk about ghetto - let's remember Stereo - ghetto and underage, until, of course, someone got shot there. Dunzo.
Barry does Ghetto parties at all Jon B venues, But its only on Sundays and Mondays, just like he tried to sneek them in at Stereo(all Cash). So im sure the rest of the week will be fine.
Barry is a joke. He will make it Getho in no time. Actually, too late It is Getho already.
It doesn't matter if the club is eco friendly because Jon B will pollute the city anyway with his clientelle. Soho welcome to the NJ crowd, NJ welcome to Soho. Sad day for Soho
