Cain Closes, Signals End Of Era That Ended Two Years Ago

Mar 19, 2010 3:40 PM

"After an amazing 5 years Cain will be closing it's doors. Please join us for an unforgettable night on Wednesday March 24th at 11pm to help us celebrate,"

-Jamie Mulholland, owner of Cain.

Yup, after climbing to the top of the West 27th Street bottle service heap, the safari-themed lounge is beating its final drum. 

Marquee is still around, though its owners and famed doormen have moved onto younger child Avenue. Bungalow 8 is constantly rumored to be on the chopping block. An underage girl was murdered after drinking at Guest House. And a man fell to his death in since-closed B.E.D.'s elevator shaft.

Frankly we're impressed Cain prospered for as long as it did, especially given shifting tastes and a recession that all but eliminated bottle service as the dominant nightlife form. But as a wise Minnesotan once said, "parties weren't made to last."

We are glad that all energies with Mulholland and co. will now be focused on what is really important: Montauk.

First came Cain, then came Cain Luxe, then came...? All Mulholland has to do is throw an "Ultra" on the end of the name (Cain Luxe Ultra) and he's bound to get another year out of the room!

Hadnt been back since the first Cain and had a lot of good memories. My girlfriend and I had a great night but did like the first decor better.
