Events and Tickets: Current Status

House of X is permanently closed and has no events or tickets on sale as of August 24, 2026. The House of Yes-operated nightlife concept occupied the basement performance space at PUBLIC Hotel from November 2021 until July 2022. The room continues to host nightlife, but it now trades as ARTSPACE rather than House of X. Current hotel programming includes recurring electronic-music parties such as Off the Record, Risqué, Mirari and Tuesday Baby Tuesday, alongside Live Sounds sessions elsewhere in the building. These are successor events, not House of X productions.

No House of X program has been announced for 2026 or beyond. Concert databases displaying the old name should be treated as archival or outdated, especially when they show no upcoming performances. Anyone seeing a new listing attributed to House of X should confirm that it is not actually an ARTSPACE event at the same 215 Chrystie Street address.

Past Events and Programming

House of X officially opened on November 19 and 20, 2021, following previews and a soft-opening period that included Halloween and New York nightlife gatherings. Its original weekly anchors were Le Freak on Fridays and Fuck Yes on Saturdays. The formula combined house, disco and global electronic music with aerialists, burlesque, drag, go-go dancing, circus performers, theatrical characters and interactive installations. Creative clothing was part of the event rather than merely a door-code formality.

The surviving 2021 archive includes Amaya Society’s immersive Divine Comedy with Rebolledo, Kawas and Illich Mujica, plus Fuck Yes with Uhuru Afrika, Adam Gibbons, Cappuccino and Marcyy Amorr. The venue’s opening months established the pattern it followed throughout its brief life: DJs provided the continuous dance-floor soundtrack while performers and installations appeared throughout the two-level room.

Programming expanded rapidly in 2022. Documented bookings included Jimi Jules for the fashion-oriented Senza Fine; Goldcap’s Kuná; Amine K for Soundchk; Rigopolar, Gazelle and Gouranga Clan; Canción with Dramian and Robin Scott; and Hot Mesh, a queer, Burning Man-influenced disco and tech-house party. Other events explored Latin culture, salsa, Afro-house, progressive house, dark wave, industrial techno and classic New York disco.

Notable spring and summer programs included Tropical Edition with a salsa lesson and performers connected to West Side Story and In the Heights; Uhuru with DJEFF; PULSAR editions featuring Danny Daze, Philipp Jung, Concret and Iñigo Vontier; Glow in the X; Pink Mammoth with Atish; Dancing Room Only with Tony Humphries and Rissa Garcia; Palosanto with Sébastien Léger; DONNA; and Le Freak with DJ Spinna.

House of X was not exclusively a late-night dance club. Exhibitionist presented work by emerging visual artists with performances, projections, installations and tarot readings. The Vashti Ball offered a queer communal Purim celebration, while the Future Fair closing party connected the room with New York’s independent art-fair scene. The event archive also records fetish-themed nightlife, morning dance sessions and shows involving live percussion.

A closure notice circulated on July 13, 2022, describing that week as the final run. Some archived calendars retain isolated later-July listings, but there is no evidence that House of X resumed regular branded operations after that summer. An August Body Work party was marked canceled, and the organization now describes the project as a 2021–2022 venue takeover.

Tickets and Booking

Historical advance prices commonly began around $20 to $30. Larger DJ bookings and immersive productions generally cost approximately $35 to $65, while occasional special events reached about $70. Free RSVP art receptions and dance parties also appeared in the calendar. Table reservations and theatrical bottle service formed a separate premium tier, with performers delivering personalized interactions rather than conventional nightclub presentations.

Tickets were event-specific rather than admission to a nightly standing show. Popular parties could sell out, and some tickets were valid only if the holder arrived before a stated cutoff. Door admission remained discretionary on fashion-led nights. Because the venue is closed, there is no active box office, presale system, guest list or legitimate House of X door sale today.

About House of X

House of X was the first permanent Manhattan outpost created by the House of Yes team. Founders Anya Sapozhnikova, Kae Burke, Ilan Telmont and Justin Ahiyon developed it with hotelier Ian Schrager as a more polished counterpart to their Brooklyn venue. It occupied the former Public Arts basement inside PUBLIC Hotel at 215 Chrystie Street, between East Houston and Stanton Streets.

Published capacities varied by configuration. A venue profile listed approximately 3,000 square feet and a capacity of 367, while launch material described a roughly 400-person club. A separate main-room specification gave 300 standing or 150 seated. The safest interpretation is that a typical dance event accommodated about 300 to 400 people, depending on furniture, staging, installations and access to secondary areas.

Seating and Layout

House of X was principally a standing, general-admission venue. The main level contained the dance floor, stage, bar and performance zone, while an upper or mezzanine area provided lounges, secret spaces and alternative views. A net suspended above the dance floor was promoted as a communal “cuddle puddle,” and the much-discussed fuzzy room offered tactile décor and a quieter, surreal counterpoint to the main floor.

The underlying Public Arts room had retractable seating for approximately 100 people, allowing screening and presentation configurations, although House of X generally kept the space open for dancing. For the clearest performance view, the front-center floor was best; the edges and mezzanine suited guests who prioritized conversation, installations or people-watching. Sightlines could be interrupted when performers moved through the crowd.

Architecture, Design and Production

PUBLIC Hotel opened in 2017 in a concrete-and-glass tower designed by Herzog & de Meuron with executive architect Beyer Blinder Belle. Bonetti/Kozerski led the interiors of the original basement nightclub and flexible performance room. The building is set back behind a landscaped forecourt, with a dramatic copper-colored escalator enclosure, board-formed concrete and textured wood surfaces creating its “refined gritty” character.

For House of X, the basement became darker, softer and more theatrical. Red velvet drapery surrounded the dance floor, fur and tactile materials covered intimate rooms, and local artists supplied paintings, photographs, stairwell work and display-case installations. Contributors included Kat Ryals, Olivia Taylor, Anthony Padilla, Tom Prinsell and Anna Cone. Rotating art helped the venue feel less like a fixed club interior and more like a changing exhibition.

The room offered a stage, dance floor, audiovisual equipment, installed sound and performance lighting. Events used strobes, projection, moving visuals and lighting effects, but no reliable public inventory identifies the speaker models, console, fixture count, rigging limits or electrical service. Those details should not be inferred from the equipment subsequently used by ARTSPACE.

Getting There and Parking

The former venue is at 215 Chrystie Street, New York, NY 10002. The closest subway is the F train at Second Avenue; the southwest Houston Street and Chrystie Street entrance is about a two-minute walk away. Bowery station for J and Z trains is approximately five minutes away, while Broadway–Lafayette for B, D, F and M trains, with the connected Bleecker Street 6 station, is roughly seven minutes away.

The Second Avenue F station is not wheelchair accessible. Riders needing elevators should plan an accessible route through another downtown station and allow extra time for a bus, taxi or rideshare connection. Local surface service includes buses along Houston Street, Bowery and the First and Second Avenue corridors. Weekend subway changes are common, particularly late at night.

No dedicated on-site public garage has been verified. Nearby garages are concentrated on Chrystie, Allen, Elizabeth, Mott, Broome and Mulberry Streets. Typical reservation prices run approximately $25 to $50, with taxes, time limits and oversize-vehicle supplements potentially added. One Chrystie Street garage has published rates around $21 for two hours, roughly $30 for an event period and about $38 for 24 hours before tax, but rates can change.

Rideshare and taxi passengers should use the Chrystie Street frontage and avoid stopping in the Houston Street intersection. The landscaped forecourt can create separate lines for different hotel venues, so checking the event name before joining a line remains important for anyone attending current ARTSPACE, rooftop or hotel programming.

Inside the Former Venue

House of X had a full cocktail bar and a mixology program developed by brothers Mcson and Orson Salicetti. Food was not a central club offering, although the surrounding hotel contained restaurants, bars and a café. A coat check operated on busy nights, but visitor reports frequently mentioned slow retrieval, so traveling with a compact coat or small bag was advantageous.

Entry typically involved an ID check, ticket scan or RSVP verification and security screening. Most archived events were 21+, prohibited re-entry and opened around 10 p.m., continuing until 4 a.m. Mobile reception could weaken in the basement. There was no permanent public merchandise counter, although individual producers could sell event-related items.

Nearby Amenities

Within PUBLIC Hotel, visitors can find Popular for Peruvian-influenced dinner, LOUIS for coffee and casual food, Bar Chrystie for cocktails and The Roof for skyline views. Nearby choices include Cafe Habana, Emporio, Russ & Daughters, The Grey Dog, Prince Street Pizza and Yonah Schimmel’s Knish Bakery. Confirm kitchen closing times separately from bar hours, especially after midnight.

Hotel options include PUBLIC itself, citizenM New York Bowery, Moxy Lower East Side, The Sohotel and Hotel Indigo Lower East Side. Late-night food is easier to find by walking south toward Chinatown or east toward Orchard and Ludlow Streets; selected noodle, dumpling and takeaway restaurants remain open substantially later than standard Manhattan dining rooms.

What Made House of X Special

House of X arrived while New York nightlife was rebuilding after pandemic closures. It placed queer performance, consent culture, local visual art and underground dance music inside a design-led Manhattan hotel associated with one of the city’s best-known nightlife figures. That collision—luxury hospitality meeting circus, drag, kink, disco and experimental art—was its defining contribution.

Visitor reactions were divided. Admirers praised the progressive-house programming, cocktails, installations, sound and intimate scale. Critics found the hotel crowd less interactive than Brooklyn audiences, objected to strict security or reported inconsistent bar and coat-check service. That tension reflected the concept itself: House of X attempted to translate a participatory, queer-rooted art-party culture into polished downtown Manhattan nightlife.

No independent study quantified its economic effect. Its demonstrable cultural contribution was providing paid opportunities for DJs, dancers, drag artists, circus performers, producers and local visual artists during a difficult period for live entertainment. Its short lifespan limited its long-term neighborhood impact, but the basement’s continued use as ARTSPACE preserves its function as an active performance and nightlife room.

Visitor Tips and Policies

Historical House of X rules emphasized consent: ask before touching, report harassment immediately and respect every guest’s identity and boundaries. Restrooms were gender-neutral. Strobe lighting and powerful sound were routinely used. The main entrance was advertised as ADA accessible, and an archived event instructed guests needing step-free basement access to request the elevator from door staff. ticketfairy.com

Creative dress was strongly encouraged, with themes ranging from disco glamour and fluorescent fashion to fetishwear and high-concept art looks. Some events applied door discretion. Photography rules varied; one fetish event prohibited photography on its upper level. No consistent archived bag-size policy survives, so broad claims about permitted dimensions should be avoided.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is House of X still open in New York City?

No. House of X ended operations in July 2022 after running for less than a year. The basement venue at 215 Chrystie Street remains active, but it is now known as ARTSPACE and is programmed by PUBLIC Hotel rather than operating as the former House of Yes concept.

Are there any House of X events scheduled for 2026?

No House of X events have been announced for 2026 or later. Current parties at the address belong to ARTSPACE, Two Fifteen, The Roof or other PUBLIC Hotel rooms. Old venue pages and concert calendars may remain online, but they should not be interpreted as evidence that House of X has reopened.

What replaced House of X?

The basement is now presented as ARTSPACE. Its recurring program continues the location’s nightlife function with house, techno, Afro-house, melodic electronic music and multi-room dance parties. The visual identity, producers and branding differ from House of X, even though visitors may recognize the underlying stage, dance floor and mezzanine configuration.

What was the capacity of House of X?

Published figures varied. The main room was listed for 300 standing guests or 150 seated, while other historical descriptions cited 367 or approximately 400 people for the complete venue. Capacity depended on whether the mezzanine was open and how much floor space was occupied by staging, lounges, art and production equipment.

Did House of X have assigned seating?

No. Most events were general-admission dance parties without assigned seats. Lounge furniture and reserved tables were placed around the dance floor and mezzanine, while the underlying performance space had retractable seating available for approximately 100-person screenings. Seating availability therefore depended entirely on the production rather than the ticket category alone.

Was House of X a 21-and-over venue?

Almost all archived nightlife events were restricted to guests aged 21 and older. A valid government-issued photo ID was required, and many events prohibited re-entry after admission. Because ARTSPACE is a separate current operation, visitors should not assume every present-day event at 215 Chrystie Street follows exactly the same age or re-entry policy.

How strict was the House of X dress code?

Creative dress was heavily encouraged and occasionally considered at the door. Themes included disco, drag, blacklight fashion, art-inspired clothing, fetishwear and high-style evening looks. Conventional clothing did not automatically guarantee refusal, but arriving in an outfit that engaged with the stated theme improved the experience and matched the participatory character of the parties.

Was House of X wheelchair accessible?

The venue advertised an ADA-accessible entrance. At least one archived event noted that the basement involved stairs but instructed guests needing step-free access to request the elevator from door staff. Detailed accessibility information for every secondary lounge was not consistently published, so visitors with specific mobility requirements historically benefited from arranging assistance before arrival. ticketfairy.com

Were the restrooms gender-neutral?

Yes. House of X’s published safer-spaces policy stated that its restrooms were gender-neutral. This formed part of a broader inclusion policy covering sexual orientation, gender identity, race and personal expression. The policy also required affirmative consent before physical contact and encouraged guests to report unwanted behavior to security or a manager immediately.

Did House of X use strobe lights?

Yes. Event notices regularly warned that strobe lights were used during parties and performances. The basement also had high-volume amplified music, projections and rapidly changing visual effects. Guests sensitive to flashing light or loud sound needed to consider protective measures such as earplugs and should not have relied on finding a completely quiet area inside the club.

Could guests take photographs?

Photography rules depended on the event. Casual phone photography was common at standard dance parties, but privacy-focused and fetish events could restrict images in specific rooms. One documented event prohibited photography on the upper level. Flash, professional equipment and filming performers without consent were never safe assumptions, regardless of whether a universal camera ban was posted.

Did House of X have a coat check?

Yes, coat check was available during busy events. Several visitor accounts, however, described long waits or disorganization when collecting belongings. Guests who wanted a fast exit often traveled light, wore a compact layer or retrieved items before closing-time crowds formed. Coat-check operation and charges could vary between individual producers and private events.

Was food served inside House of X?

House of X concentrated on cocktails, dancing and performance rather than a full club food menu. Guests could eat elsewhere in PUBLIC Hotel or at nearby Lower East Side and Nolita restaurants before entering. Because most parties continued until 4 a.m., eating beforehand was more dependable than assuming the hotel’s restaurant kitchens would remain open after the event.

Which subway station was closest?

The Second Avenue F station was closest, with an entrance at Houston and Chrystie Streets a short walk from the hotel. Bowery’s J and Z station and Broadway–Lafayette’s B, D, F and M service were also convenient. Second Avenue is not wheelchair accessible, an important consideration for anyone planning a step-free journey.

Was parking available at House of X?

House of X did not have a verified dedicated public parking garage. Commercial garages on Chrystie, Allen, Elizabeth, Mott and nearby Chinatown streets were the practical options. Evening prices generally ranged from approximately $25 to $50 before possible taxes and oversize fees. Street spaces were scarce, making the subway, taxi or rideshare more predictable.

How early did people need to arrive?

Arriving 30 to 60 minutes after doors opened usually reduced time in the line and left room to explore installations before the dance floor became crowded. Guests with tickets carrying an arrival deadline needed to enter before that cutoff. For headline DJs, fashion-week parties and special immersive productions, earlier arrival was safer than depending on late door admission.

Why did House of X close?

No verified public statement gives a detailed reason for the permanent closure. The July 2022 message initially suggested a summer pause, but the concept never returned, and its operator now identifies it as a 2021–2022 project. Claims about creative disagreements or financial causes remain unconfirmed and should not be presented as established fact.

Can old House of X tickets be used at ARTSPACE?

No. House of X tickets were tied to specific events held in 2021 or 2022 and have no validity for present-day ARTSPACE programming. Despite sharing the same basement address, the names represent different operating periods and event calendars. Current admission requires a ticket, reservation or door entry issued specifically for the event now being presented.
