TAO Downtown Nightclub · New York
The hidden late-night lounge inside TAO Downtown in Chelsea, with DJs and table service
Tucked inside TAO Downtown at 369 West 16th Street in Chelsea, and separate from the restaurant, sits a compact nightclub built for the back half of the night. It is a drinks-only lounge with DJs and table service that has kept a deliberately low profile, drawing a crowd that comes for late-night cocktails, music and dancing.
The room itself is the draw. High ceilings open it up, exposed brick walls give it an industrial edge, and custom artwork runs across the space, set right beside the grandeur of the TAO Downtown dining room. It is glamorous and close-quarters, the kind of room where the energy builds fast once it fills.
Doors open at 11 PM on Monday and Thursday through Sunday, and the night runs until 4 AM; the club is closed Tuesday and Wednesday. For a birthday or a company night, the room can also be booked in full, with space for 92 seated or 200 for a cocktail reception.
This is the nightclub, distinct from the TAO Downtown restaurant next to it, so aim here if a late night out is what you are after. Tell us the night and your group size, and our New York team will arrange the table.
