[Photos by Rafael Fondeur] This past Monday night, Pink Elephant nightclub celebrated it’s 5th Anniversary with a mega party featuring DJ Tiesto. The night, which was both a celebration of the DJ’s release of his new album: Kaleidoscope, and of Pink Elephant’s success in managing to stay open for 5 years, was a hit. Matt Oliver, the man in charge of the door, told us it was mayhem. There were hundreds of fans trying to get into see Tiesto, the DJ that was the first ever to play live on stage at an Olympic Games (’04 Athens). More photos of Tiesto in action below… More »
Tonight, Pink Elephant nightclub has recently been under some trouble. First there was a bankruptcy issue with their Southampton hotpost, and then 2 of the owners or the 27th street location, David Sarner and Bobby Montwaid, were sued for mismanagement and fraud. However, this giant elephant isn’t going down anytime soon. Tonight, the Pink Elephant club is celebrating it’s 5th year anniversary on 27th street. They have brought Matt Oliver on their team to man the door clean up the place, and with DJ Tiesto, all signs post to this being a semi productive evening. Happy Birthday Pink!
BREAKING: Pink Elephant, the nightclub on 27th street that has, for years, served as go-to place for satiating one’s euro-trash desires, is undergoing some trouble in paradise. Breaking news today, after rumblings of rumors over the last couple of weeks: David Sarner and Bobby Montwaid (two of the five owners in PE) have officially been SERVED by Joey Morrisey. After Pink Elephant Southampton was plagued by bankruptcy filings this summer, it seems that there is never a dull moment in the life of these club owners. More on the lawsuit below… More »
Oh, Pink. It’s one of those places you keep waiting to read about, as having filed for some form of bankruptcy. People still go? Oh come on, who? Well, this spot’s got staying power. It’s like the little engine that could. Maybe you haven’t ventured over in a while, but that doesn’t mean other people aren’t filling the floor. These are September photos, after all. It’s still where transplants go to learn the ways of clubland, a safe bet for a sweaty dance-a-thon. Also, the velvet rope is more friendly than most. So maybe we wrote this place off, too soon. Sure, it’s not as cool as it’s sister spot out East, but it’s holding its own. We’re giving this morning’s $2k, and survivor points, to you, Pink. More »
There has been a series of whale sightings at Avenue over the past few weeks, and now a tipster has sent us some photographic evidence. No less than 40 bottles of Cristal were lit up and brought out last night. A little quick math says that this trumps the 20k bottle bought at Marquee last December and may be edging onto the same turf as Mike Ashley, who spent $216k at Pink Elephant last September.
So just who is this serial bottle popper? You can catch a glimpse of him in the cellphone pictures. Our tipster says that Kid Rock was also there doing the usual celeb routine, hanging out with hanger-ons and their hanger-ons. More pictures below…More »
I know, you forgot too, right? We’ve been thinking about being back in the city soon, with weekend warrior season coming to an end. And then it’s like, “Wait, the city is still there, right?” Well from these pics, we at least know that Pink hasn’t changed. The sparklers still light up the room, and people still buy the bottles to get them. You still have to be well into the evening to go, an hour when tying your neck tie around your forehead seems like the best idea you’ve ever had, and wearing a bandana (isn’t this against the dress code?) feels cool.

Pole Superstar is the ultimate pole dance competition, which is pretty funny if you didn’t know that there are tiers of pole dancing. The sometimes vertical, upside down performers go head to head for a $10,000 grand prize. Not too bad for some erotic exercise. Yesterday, Pink Elephant housed the game’s elite, with Richie Akiva, Kipton Cronkite (this is totes artistic), Sir Ivan and many more serious spectators on hand to check out the moves, while also celebrating the launch of Single Parents In Need. Charity and anything is a great pairing, even pole dancing. More »

Pink Southampton provides endless amusement. $2k moment upon $2k moment. Seeing the huge, fuzzy Pink Elephant man through the smoke and vodka haze is like seeing an old friend. But, don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten that there is just so much that is priceless at the Pink we have right here in the city. The Chelsea classic offers just as much club craziness you come to expect when it’s past 2 a.m. and New Jersey still exists, like as a state. More »
Sometimes I feel a tiny bit guilty putting up every embarrassing photo I know these innocent (I use that term loosely) party goers hope will never surface. This feeling always passes quickly. Undeniably the best part of my morning. When you go to Pink, it’s always a good idea to wear more than just a shirt. You see a camera, avoid the mouth open, stupid hand gesture (the subject of previous, scientific analysis from team Hamptons). More »
[Justin Lee Ross. Photos by Steven Ekerovich] via hamptons.guestofaguest.com: Justin Ross Lee has become quite the fame whore lately. Showing up in Star Magazine, on Plum TV, and all over Facebook, we fear we may have created a monster. This Saturday he was spotted rolling around Southampton, and no trip out east would be complete for JRL without a visit to his regular outpost, Pink Elephant. He seemed to be in good company… MORE>>>
via hamptons.guestofaguest.com: There’s something about the sweat, smoke, deafening music and aggressive men, right? I mean, you walk through those magical Southampton doors and it’s like, MUST. MAKE. OUT. (See exhibit A below). Okay maybe not, but who doesn’t love a little m.o.? Carry on, you two! Pink Elephant is clearly still jumping, so you might want to add it to your 4th plans, should you head out east. Pink is close to red, so it’s totes patriotic and everything. God bless America!
