The Twelve Thirty Club

"People seem to only associate The Twelve Thirty Club with the fact that Justin Timberlake is part owner. But that does a complete disservice to this three-part venue (it’s a honky-tonk, supper club, and rooftop terrace) with great live music and an even better sweet cream cornbread. The supper club, though, is the place you should bring your old college friends and their spouses when they visit, because they’re in their 30s and not putting up with Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk nonsense. Order a round of crisp, dirty martinis and then segue into that aforementioned cornbread and some burrata or a seafood tower. Then that live act will really kick in. People will start dancing. You’ll get some champagne for the table, and maybe some mains—the sushi and Chilean sea bass are solid options—but maybe you just join in and start dancing, too." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak

"There will come a time when you’ll be roped into going to Broadway. When that happens, gently steer your group to The Twelve-Thirty Club. This three-part venue (it’s a honky-tonk, supper club, and rooftop terrace) not only has great live music, but it has even better sweet cream cornbread and chilled martinis—which is more than we can say for Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honkytonk. You can spend your entire night here: a couple of pre-dinner cocktails on the rooftop, a dinner of icy seafood towers and steaks in the swanky supper club, and a skosh of elevated Broadway-style debauchery at the honky-tonk to wrap up the night. You might wind up dancing on a table. You might not. Either way, you’re definitely having a good time. " - jackie gutierrez jones 2

"Twelve-Thirty Club at Fifth & Broadway has a honky-tonk on the ground floor, an upstairs Supper Club (one of our favorites), and a rooftop that’s very aptly named The Rooftop Bar, with brightly colored cabana chairs and lush greenery. By day, the vibe is comfy beach club, but at night it can get crowded—especially if there’s a game or concert across the street. The sweet potato fries are quite possibly the best in town and come with a not-so-spicy mayo drizzled with honey. We’ve heard the bartenders make more than 100 espresso martinis on a busy night. In fact, while you were reading this, they already made 12. " - adam sloan

"With its multiple levels of dining options ranging from a lively honky tonk to a swanky supper club, the Twelve Thirty Club has been a downtown destination ever since it opened. While rooftop brunch here is old news, it’s been revamped for summer in the name of recovery and renourishment (somebody knows their market well). The wellness-centered Rooftop Recovery experience on Sundays pairs fresh-squeezed juices with more liquor, dishes like a seasonal fruit tower and California scramble, and a lively DJ to keep the Sunday Funday vibe going." - Kellie Walton
