When Jay Z is Thirsty: When Brooklyn native Jay-Z wants to grab a bite while taking in a Brooklyn Nets basketball game, he doesn’t exactly wait in the concession line (could you imagine?). He heads inside to the brand-new V-VIP space Crown Club at Barclays Center, the premium lounge available only to courtside seat holders. With a menu by Major Food Group, the team behind favorite NYC restaurant Carbone and decor done by Ken Fulk, the food is top-level and the atmosphere equally luxe. And because its open only to courtside ticket holders (translation: celebrities and other bold-face names), it’s an extremely exclusive crowd.
In addition to Hova, Crown Club hosted Jason Sudeikis, Kevin Durant, Pete Davidson and Jack Harlow in its first two weeks. Guests are seated at private tables, and the game is broadcast on flat-screen TVs, ensuring no one misses a moment.
