Studio 54

Manhattan nightclub legend

Studio 54 was a legendary New York City nightclub that operated from 1977 to 1980, known for its celebrity clientele, hedonistic atmosphere, and notoriously selective door policy.

The name has become shorthand for late-1970s disco-era excess and glamour: It was like Studio 54 in there—velvet ropes, beautiful people everywhere.
