40/40 Club
6 West 25th St.
New York, New York 10010
(212) 830-4040
www.the4040club.com
While this nightclub is named after the baseball term for those who set records by stealing 40 bases and batting 40 home runs in a single season, 40/40 Club gains its real notoriety from its proprietor. This club is owned and promoted by rapper Jay-Z, but it has more to offer than just hype. The main level holds a gigantic, illuminated bar and upstairs holds the lounge's five private VIP rooms. The bottle service at this 12,000 square foot bar is impeccable, with attentive servers and a wide selection of bottles. Bring your bucks, though, as the least expensive bottle on the bottle service menu is a $200 bottle of Hipnotiq. The most expensive? Remy Martin Louis XIII for $2,500. Contact the salesperson for more information about bottle service for big parties.

Tenjune is a New York City club most likely to see a celebrity, and if you're getting bottle service, you may just be seated by a few famous people. You can make your reservation in advance through the website, or you can take your chances trying to get in via the line outside. The doorman will decide your fate, but have no fear: you can always pull out your wallet and buy three bottles to advance you to the front of the line and inside to the VIP area. This club is located under the STK Steakhouse, so if you get hungry, head upstairs for a quick bite before heading back down for more dancing.
