How has GoldBar stayed relevant all this time?
Shaun Rose (current owner): Hard work is a given, but 3 things really stand out as the primary reasons for GoldBar's sustained validity; design, location and soul. Rob McKinley’s design is timeless; elegant while edgy. The skulls are instantly recognizable and are probably the most photographed in NYC nightlife.
Jonny Lennon (Partner and host of FUNDAY/Original doorman): I truly believed in Jayma (Cardoso), and Roberts vision from the very first moment I saw it and heard them discuss it. When Shaun came in, it couldn’t have been anybody else at any other time. It was a perfect match.
Shaun Rose: On any night you get a mix of people from all styles and walks of life. It's never been about who is the best looking, richest or of a certain social status. It's about being genuine, and specifically, genuinely not an asshole.
