Greenhouse Opens Tomorrow

Breaking news across the Birdy Wire. Jon B's long in the making Greenhouse, the first eco-friendly nightclub in the history of mankind, will finally open its doors tomorrow for a private affair. We have heard that 3 people have already had excitement related heart palpitations, and who could blame them. This place has been buzzing for years and on multiple continents. But will it live up to the hype? Does anything? Of course not, but who really cares?

whats the deal with saying varick+spring? its actually on the corner of Varick and VanDam - with one entrance on VanDam

Jon B = HOME & GUESTHOUST, ST. LOUIS Home.
My predication is that he will pay good promoters for the first month (like he did with Home), and then open up the floodgates, and be bridge and tunne; (it is down the block from Holland Tunnel). I suggest go checking it out now with the promoters before in 3 months it is GUIDOFEST.

I agree with Prediction, Cain tried to re-create Cain Luxe, now Jon B is moving Home downtown. Just because you hire Karim, Barry from Stereo, and a few promoters doesn't change your image, and your crowd. Greenhouse has been blasting out emails about booking for private events for a month. I am willing to bet we see it on the next episode of Sweet 16.

It will be an URBAN hang out. Disgusting!!!

What do you mean, Cain tried? From what I understand the door is one of the toughest in the city.

I hear there's something special in store this Thursday for Jayma Cardoso's Bday bash.

haha james goldman. you can't fool all of the people all of the time. just saying the door is tight at cain doesn't mean it is any different. in fact, taking a club that went downhill then making it tight is almost a slap in the face to the people who you say you are now trying to attract. too bad the timing is shit.

im sure impulse and richie romero will be back running it in a few months...

November 11, 2008 at 06:07PM | Unregistered Commentercalling you out

LOL Barry from Stereo couldn't up anyone's image - karim, however can. I'd give it a good shot, I've seen the place and it looks really amazing.

This place looks like crap, the concept just does not really work for the nightclub industry. As much as I would love to see this world go green I dont see how you can really make a nightclub environmentally friendly. As for Cain, it's a pretty great new layout, I have only been once since it's new opening and was very impressed. They did have a much tighter door but are still open to anyone buying bottles. Great crowd inside and seemed a little less b&t at the door. We will see how long it lasts, Cain was always good though.

THEY HAVE NO ONE HIGH END INVOLVED AT ALL IT WILL BE JUST LIKE HOME, MOST OF IT IS NOT GREEN SO THEY WILL GET LOTS OF BAD PRESS FOR THAT

i walked by the place .. it actually looks really cool inside... i think Karim can bring some of the good Euros from Ciprianis and with Barry Mullineaux from Stereo being partners in the space is a great addition and with it being downtown as oppposed to chelsea or meatpacking i thinnk this place will rock..

November 12, 2008 at 11:22AM | Unregistered Commenterrock

We shall see really quickly.

Scott (DBTH) this is not the first eco friendly club in the world. there are several others.

November 12, 2008 at 07:00PM | Unregistered CommenterKarim?

Karim is a good play. Barry is a nobody that only knows URBAN people. HAHAHAH Jon b and Karim had a shot, but Barry will DESTROY THEM

November 12, 2008 at 07:04PM | Unregistered Commenteryeradude

lol this is mad funny. i used to be in the nightlife. it's really sad how people are so wrapped up in this crap.

November 12, 2008 at 10:36PM | Unregistered Commenteriamapromoterha

Barry is a c minus promoter and Karim was fired from Cipriani. Great team guys! I was there on wednesday (soft opening) I was invited by my friend Scott he is a promoter there. I can tell you it is already down hill. They could have at least waited three weeks to make it Getho and cheezyyyyyyyyyyy. Oh well, I am all about green but there is nothing green about this place except a bunch of tugs soking pot next to my table.
