Active social clubs

[AnIrishGuy]

I'm curious as to whether there are any / many active members-only social clubs remaining in NYC. These clubs have always been a staple of historical organised crime narratives (Triangle, Palma Boys, Ravenite etc.). Have been following the Medlish trial via GL News and noted that Capeci has mentioned an altercation at a Coddington Avenue social club as recently as 2012. That got me thinking as to:

a) how many of these clubs still exist, even without an organized crime element; and
b) if there are some active clubs remaining, do these still act as bases for crews?

You don't often hear social clubs being mentioned anymore - apart from the above Luchese example, the only other one I can think of was that of Pete “Petey Red” Dichiara in lower Manhattan. Seems to be a bit of a throwback.

Bonanno club in Staten island... it's a blacked-out storefront on Fingerboard Road.

There’s the Banner Social Club in Bensonhurst, which is a Bonanno spot.

For the Colombos, Luca DiMatteo is the only guy I know who has a confirmed social club on Avenue T., and there might still be clubs operated by Benjamin Castellazzo or Joel Cacace's son.

There are still several in the Arthur Ave section of the Bronx, but nothing compared to years ago.

Quiet Doms club is still active in Bronx. Right beside Balsamo funeral home.

i was looking around on google maps and it could just as easily be a soccer club or something but it looks like there's one on beaumont ave, the google photos go back years and there's always guys outside the spot.

2355 beaumont ave if anyone wants to check it out

Social Clubs are definitely not good for organized crime. Especially with the Feds surveilling them and keeping tabs on these guys.
But then again how does organized crime profit from there Gambling Activities. Clubs are supposed to be big money makers for them

I think this club is Gambino Associated. If it’s the one I’m thinking about unless there’s another one on fingerboard road

2941 West 15 Street.
2185 Schenectady Ave
1384 East 59 St
7021 20th Ave
7111 20th Ave
2082 East 29 St


Quick list of some in Brooklyn, no time to do 18th Ave. There are plenty of social clubs still around or businesses that function as social clubs. These guys have to network it's essential to their survival.
