Wonderland, is NYC’s newest nightclub and adult nightlife hotspot. Located in the Chelsea area of New York City, at 20 West 20th Street, the venue held a grand opening hosted by Rick Ross, as well as sword swallower Le Reine The Thrill and ax juggler Sam Urdang.
Wonderland combines a high-energy big-room NYC nightclub experience, with the very finest in after-dark entertainment. Wonderland features live stage acts of all kinds, celebrity guest hosts, bottle service, and a mezzanine for guests to dine at. The nightclub is run by Twenty West Partners, who have over 25 years of experience in nightlife and adult entertainment in New Jersey, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. The team is led by Creative Director Richie Romero, who is one of the forces behind Nebula Nightclub, Hidden Lane, Temakase, Innocent Yesterday, and Zazzy’s Pizza.
Speaking of dining, their offerings include small plates like Truffle Butter Popcorn, Guacamole & Chips, Baja Quesadillas, a Charcuterie Board showcasing imported meat, cheese, olives, and seasonal fruits, Smoked Brisket Empanadas, a Freshly Baked Jumbo Pretzel, Chicken Fingers & Fries, Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, and Wagyu Cheeseburger Sliders with cheddar cheese on a brioche bun. That’s in addition to a full bar and bottle service menu.
If the place or address sounds familiar, the venue was formerly owned by singer and songwriter husband and wife duo Ashford & Simpson and was called 20/20 before morphing into the VIP Room in the mid-90s and now Wonderland in 2022. The main stage is the focal point at Wonderland with two 12-foot video LED video walls with mirrored pillars throughout, trace lighting above, and a mezzanine to catch the action from any angle. Just under 10,000 square feet, with a capacity for 300 guests over two floors. There will also be a private members-only speakeasy opening later in 2022. Opening night was packed on both floors and the music kept guests dancing well into the night.
Wonderland will be hosting a slew of special guests in the coming weeks. To keep up to date on all the happenings, head over to nycwonderland.com.
