Massive Nightclub Opening Next Week

Entrepreneur Eric Clay is joining forces with former Love honcho Marquis Perkins to open the 30,000-square-foot nightclub Ibiza next week. In a former warehouse a few blocks north of Capitol Hill and west of Penn Quarter, the multilevel, multifaceted space is aggressive in its offerings—a 60-foot stage, 3-D imagery projections (ready for corporate logos), a Starbucks espresso bar, and a million-dollar Martin sound system are a sampling of the amenities on-site.The Grand Room is the focal point. Decorated in white and stainless steel, the bilevel space, which can hold as many as 2,000 people, features three 30-foot bars, a V.I.P. terrace (with its own bar), a DJ booth, and a greenroom for celebrity artists. The venue’s on-site restaurant seats 60 and will be serving an American menu with international accents for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Adjacent to the restaurant is the bilevel Black and Red Room, a Japanese-inspired space complete with a red-glass-encased waterfall. Upstairs is an outdoor zen garden with fountains, moss-covered walls, and—we hear—great views of the Capitol. Ibiza is kicking off with a launch party on June 29. Flamethrowers, acrobats, and DJ Cassidy will be on-hand.
