What is the name of the club that Jay-Z co-owned in New York City?

The club that Jay-Z co-owned in New York City was the 40/40 Club. It was an upscale sports bar and lounge whose name refers to baseball’s rare 40–40 achievement: hitting 40 home runs and stealing 40 bases in one Major League Baseball season.

Jay-Z helped launch the first 40/40 Club in New York City in 2003, combining sports memorabilia, celebrity nightlife, live entertainment, and premium hospitality. The venue became part of his broader business career beyond recording and performing music.

The brand later expanded to other locations, including Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, and Atlanta’s Hartsfield–Jackson airport. Several of those locations eventually closed, and the original New York flagship closed in August 2023.

The numerical name can cause confusion because the baseball feat is sometimes described as a “40–40 season,” but the club’s official name is written “40/40 Club.” The alternatives listed in the quiz are invented distractors; 40/40 Club is the established name.
