GoldBar Turns Two

A BlackBook favorite NYC nightlife hotspot, GoldBar—the opulent, infamous Nolita lounge—celebrates two years tonight, with owners Jamie Mullholland, Jayma Cardosa and Rob McKinley leading the festivities. Even if you've stumbled in late-night, lured by the hum of music from behind the decadent front doors, heavy-draped velvet curtains, and near constant stream of onlookers and lines outside, you'd remember the place. With walls covered in gold skulls, gold chains separating the bar from the dance floor, and our favorite DJ's situated in the semi-secret booth in the back, Goldbar always delivers a memorable night, and lives on triumphantly after two good years.

We caught a spare moment with Jayma on the eve of the big event amidst the hustle of putting it together. Her take on the celebration? “They say anniversaries are a celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. We’ve done it all—sometimes in a single day—over the past two years. GoldBar is a tiny bar, but it’s filled with friends, ambiance and it is a place I hold doubly dear to my heart.” The team is more than thrilled to celebrate two years of memories, moments, friendships, shared experiences and the celebration of what’s to come. And those trademark gold skulls, of course.
