Rumpus Room

Rumpus Room is a cozy, retro-chic nightclub tucked into Manhattan’s Lower East Side, breathing new life into the former Sapphire Lounge space. Designed by award-winning architect Gulla Jónsdottir, the venue blends eclectic vintage styling with a playful 1980s vibe - think burnt wood and bamboo walls, zebra-print ottomans, a sleek copper bar, and even a life-size Grace Jones mannequin. It’s a small but mighty space, perfect for those who prefer their nights out with a dose of character and a splash of nostalgia.

Owned by nightlife veteran Gabriel Levy, Rumpus Room is all about unfiltered fun and creative freedom. It’s a go-to for rule breakers and party lovers who want a more intimate, stylish alternative to NYC’s mega clubs.

The music leans into diverse dance genres, with house legends and local DJs often taking over the decks. Open most nights from 10pm to 4am, it’s the kind of place that doesn’t really get going until midnight - ideal for late-night revelers looking to let loose in a space that feels both familiar and fresh.
