Copacabana Nightclub

"A legendary nightclub in New York City where Susanne Bartsch hosted monthly parties in the '80s, known for its glamorous and vibrant atmosphere."

"There are a lot of ’70s-themed bars out there, but this Bushwick spot takes the assignment a bit more seriously than the rest—and has the space to do so. The area is shaped like a huge carousel, and you can go from room to room in a circle before finding yourself back at the first of two bars. There are several wrap-around booths, and sunken living room-style spaces that take you back to a groovier time in American architecture. Absinthe is Carousel's retro spirit of choice—get it in a $15 cocktail if you want to feel a little wavy while you dance to James Brown. With a pool room and a dance floor, this place is an obvious choice for group hangs and birthdays, but you could easily get into the Copacabana spirit with a date too." - Neha Talreja

"Copacabana, a nightlife icon, reopened at a new location in Hell’s Kitchen. The club, which closed its Times Square location during the pandemic in May 2020, celebrated its reopening with salsa dancing and an on-stage marriage proposal." - Erika Adams
