The Bunker Club, Taking Its Time To Get Things Right?
What's going on with the new club, the Bunker, owned by "Beatrice Inn" alum Matt Abramcyk? No seriously. I mean not that I'm the official on what happens after midnight, but I remember hearing about this club for a split second during fashion week....
...and, up until last night (it was the location of the after party to the Whitney Studio Gala), it was off my radar. Come to think of it, all of these "5 New Clubs to Look Foward To" were.
It should be noted right now that I have yet to step foot inside the Bunker (though I'm hoping to change that at Veuve Clicquot's "Yelloween" party tomorrow night- left). I've heard from a couple of GofG'ers that it's actually a pretty cool space...you walk down steps in an entrance on 9th avenue, close to Dos Caminos. The only problem? It's located smack dab in meatpacking (24 9th Ave). It has a huge dance floor in the middle and is BIG (4,000 sq feet to be exact).
"It's one of THOSE." Says the NYDN's Carson Griffith to me over Gchat. "Those" meaning a club that isn't yet officially opened but is doing parties to drive up the buzz. Which is actually smart.
Can a guy that was part of the success of a place like The Beatrice Inn bring the hip back to this area? Matt Abramcyk, the owner, and Bea alum is certainly going to try. And, despite the lull in activity (last night's after party for the Whitney was virtually the first time I have heard "the Bunker" used in conversation post fashion week), we are going to let him take his time...
...starting with Yelloween tomorrow.

What a laugh...No Carlos Almada to copy his home, steal his neighbor's power, make up stories on his neighbors to deflect from a fire at Smith and Mills and the fact the space itself fails to comply with code compromising the CO for the entire 8 bedroom home above them and both buildings. No Paul or Andre to trade off their names at Beatrice Inn again failing to comply with the very same codes, driving the neighbors crazy in the West Village, cheating everyone in between. No well healed developer John Buck to sue with more false claims of delaying his Pizza Cafe at 287 Broadway in a trumped up lawsuit he lost. No David Bouley to make up some more stories on only meant to illegally rob him of his lease at 109 W Broadway and 3 leases, for his father's busimess partner, in a fraud scheme. No Jared Kushner to attempt con out of a space at the Puck building promising false riches (who is clearly the smartest one so far to escape his wrath). No false promises of the Hamptons for hipsters in Atlantic City. It looks like with no one to con, lie, cheat or steal from this 5 time loser is on his own now in a 4000 square foot space with no one to put in it. Because he has never been capable of legally filling a space yet. Alum? Who writes these stories? Wait, did he promise you free admission and free drinks too?
