Splash has evolved into a world-wide phenomenon in the Gay Nightclub scene. Since its opening in 1991, Splash has undergone several transformations and evolutions to stay one step ahead of its competition. Currently, its 10,000 square feet over 2 floors of pumping energy. In addition to an enormous 2,000 square foot dance floor, the club boasts a full stage (working full length shower), a state of the art lighting system, and spectacular Video Displays throughout. The ground floor is designed by Bohn and Associates, while the downstairs was designed by Bromley-Caldary Associates, both of NYC.

Each Monday night, a packed house roars for everything from classic gems (Barbra's "Don't Rain On My Parade," Carol Channing's "Hello, Dolly!" and Angela Lansbury's "Everything's Coming Up Roses") to new favorites (Sutton Foster in The Drowsy Chaperone, Christine Ebersole in Grey Gardens and the Tony Awards Jersey Boys medley) to show-stopping diva brilliance (Patti LuPone's "A New Argentina," Idina Menzel's "Defying Gravity," and Jennifer Holliday's "And I'm Telling You").

Over the years, the nightclub has garnered numerous awards and is recognized as the busiest nightclub in New York City. Recognition as the city's top bar has come from: Next Magazine, HX Magazine, New York Press, The Village Voice, CityGuide and NewYorkMetro.com. Features have been in The Advocate, Out Magazine, New York Magazine, TimeOut New York, and the New York Times. The club's space has been used as a set location for Sex & the City, The Daily Show, and documentaries. Additionally, it has been used for numerous feature films.
