### Events and Programming

Ploume is an active late-night lounge and event space beneath The Ivory Peacock at 38 West 26th Street. Its regular public program centers on cocktails followed by DJs, with Friday and Saturday sets commonly starting around 11 p.m. The venue currently advertises service Tuesday through Saturday, closing at midnight early in the week and continuing until 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Private events can replace or alter normal public service, so the live event listing should always take priority over general hours.

The musical identity is primarily house-driven rather than concert-oriented. Past bookings have covered deep house, Afro house, tribal and organic house, techno, disco house, electro house and melodic dance music. Sleepy & Boo played a free deep-house and techno party in 2023. The 2024 calendar included La Santa, NARADA, Armii1n, Blvck Truffle with Ardio Zemog, and a hybrid evening featuring house music with live saxophone. Ploume also hosted the official after-party for an Austin Mahone concert.

Programming extends beyond conventional nightlife. Documented events since opening include a fundraiser for Black trans people featuring 16 guest bartenders, alumni holiday gatherings, cocktail receptions, wedding celebrations, professional networking dinners, singles mixers and phone-free social parties. The space has also hosted Romanian community dance nights and nonprofit receptions. That range explains why one night can feel like a polished cocktail club while another is a fully private corporate dinner or community fundraiser.

Among the most notable 2026 programming was World Gin Week, headquartered in the building. Ploume participated in a multi-bar World Martini Day celebration with visiting bartenders and specialty martini menus. The venue’s 2026 public calendar otherwise emphasized recurring Friday and Saturday nightlife rather than a long season of individually announced performers. As of August 24, 2026, no dependable public schedule for 2027 had been announced.

There were no Ploume events in 2021 because the venue did not yet exist. The Ivory Peacock opened in fall 2022, and early documentation treated Ploume primarily as its private subterranean event room. Public DJ programming became increasingly visible through 2023 and 2024, followed by a more regular late-night schedule.

### Tickets and Booking

Admission arrangements vary considerably. Some DJ nights have offered free entry with advance RSVP, while independent cultural and social events have used paid general admission. Documented standard-event prices have ranged from approximately $15 to $40. Major holiday parties cost more: past New Year’s Eve options ranged from roughly $55 for late entry to $125 for limited door admission, with open-bar and VIP packages priced substantially higher. These examples indicate the venue’s range rather than future guaranteed prices.

Ploume does not operate like a traditional theater with a permanent walk-up box office. Guests generally secure a ticket, guest-list place, cocktail reservation or table reservation in advance through the event’s authorized booking page. For popular weekends, Halloween, New Year’s Eve and guest-DJ appearances, booking early is sensible because prices and table availability may change as the event approaches.

A reservation is not an unconditional guarantee of immediate entry. Official policy requires at least half of a reserved group to be present for check-in. Arriving more than 15 minutes late can produce a longer wait or forfeiture of the reservation. Table minimums depend on party size and availability, and door staff retain final authority over admission. Recent visitor reports include complaints about reservations conflicting with private bookings, so reconfirming the event and arriving on time are especially important for birthdays and other fixed plans.

### About Ploume

Ploume is a subterranean cocktail lounge, nightclub and private-event venue beneath The Ivory Peacock in the NoMad and Flatiron area. The lower level covers approximately 3,000 square feet. Current published capacities differ according to configuration: venue materials list about 60 to 74 seated guests and approximately 150 to 160 standing. A rental specification gives 85 seated and 150 standing, demonstrating why planners should use the capacity stated for their particular setup rather than one universal number.

The name refers to a peacock’s plume. Its colors were chosen to evoke the inner rings of peacock feathers, creating a darker and more seductive counterpart to the glamorous gin bar upstairs. Inside are two bars, including a concealed micro-bar originally described as seating four or five people. Custom lounge furniture, layered colors and low lighting give the room more of a private hotel lounge character than a conventional black-box club.

Ploume forms part of a larger dual-level hospitality venue. The combined building is promoted as approximately 8,000 square feet, although an early press report used a considerably larger front-of-house measurement. For practical planning, Ploume’s own 3,000-square-foot figure is the more relevant specification.

### History, Architecture and Design

The Ivory Peacock opened in late 2022 after construction and supply difficulties delayed the original target by more than eight months. Founders Sarah Payton and Karl Finegan developed it as a European hotel-bar-inspired destination, with Ploume conceived as the later-night experience downstairs. The surrounding building is historic, while the hospitality interiors were newly constructed with several million dollars’ worth of finishes, furnishings and technical equipment.

Adorn Designs and principal Ben Kay helped develop the overall visual concept. Bar specialist Tobin Ellis designed the main service bars and oversized bartender workstations, including Ploume’s hidden bar. Furniture came from sources including Timothy Oulton and Irish craftspeople. Upstairs, antique chandeliers associated with the Waldorf Astoria and the former NoMad Hotel, Louis XV-style mirrors, marble and velvet establish the building’s grand arrival sequence before guests descend into Ploume’s darker palette.

Early plans positioned Ploume as a private-event room rather than a nightly public club. By 2023 it was hosting fundraising parties and independent DJ events; in 2024 it developed a recognizable house-music program, and by 2025 and 2026 the venue was openly advertising late-night cocktail reservations and recurring weekend DJs. No major rebuild or renaming has been documented since opening.

### Seating and Layout

Ploume uses movable lounge seating rather than numbered auditorium seats. Floor plans show couches, armchairs, ottomans, small tables and booths around a central circulation and dance area. The DJ booth and projection screen occupy one end of the room, while perimeter seating creates distinct social sections. For cocktail service or a corporate gathering, furniture can remain distributed throughout the floor; for dancing, the central space can be cleared and standing capacity increased.

The best position depends on the intended experience. The central floor and space near the DJ provide the strongest energy and most direct sound. Side seating is better for conversation, although music becomes loud after DJs begin. Reserved tables and separated lounge clusters offer more privacy, while the tiny hidden bar is the room’s most exclusive feature. Because Ploume is a low-rise lounge rather than a stage-facing concert hall, “best seats” are about atmosphere and access rather than sightlines.

A published rental specification lists a 40-foot length, 26-foot width and 10-foot ceiling height, although those dimensions appear to describe the principal event area rather than every part of the complete 3,000-square-foot lower level. There are no balconies, mezzanines or conventional obstructed-view seats documented.

### Sound, Lighting and Production

Ploume is unusually well equipped for a lounge of its size. Its event inventory includes a DJ booth, stage capability, microphones, projection screen, projector, nightclub-style lighting and an in-house audiovisual technician. The published DJ setup includes four CDJ-3000 players, a Pioneer V10 mixer and an RMX effects unit. The room can therefore support professional DJ sets, presentations, branded events, speeches and small-scale productions without an entirely external technical build.

No verified loudspeaker, lighting-console or projector model has been publicly specified. Descriptions such as “state-of-the-art” should therefore be understood as the venue’s characterization rather than a complete technical rider. Event organizers bringing extra equipment may need advance approval and insurance documentation.

### Getting There and Parking

Ploume is at 38 West 26th Street, between Broadway and Sixth Avenue. Enter through The Ivory Peacock and follow the route toward the back of the main floor; event hosts commonly direct guests downstairs from there. West 26th Street runs eastbound, which matters when arranging a car or rideshare approach.

The closest subway is 28th Street at Broadway, served by the N, R and W depending on the day and time, approximately two or three minutes away. The 23rd Street F and M station and 23rd Street PATH station are also close, followed by the 23rd Street Broadway lines, the 28th Street 1 train and the 28th Street 6 train. Late-night routes and service patterns can change, so allow extra time after a 3 a.m. closing.

A commercial valet garage is located beside the venue, with an entrance around 55 West 26th Street. Published prices have ranged from approximately $30 to $35 for a short evening stay, rising to about $60 or more for extended parking. Its listed closing time has been midnight, making it unsuitable for a late DJ night unless operating hours have been extended. Other garages operate within several blocks, while street parking is scarce and governed by signs, meters and alternate-side restrictions.

### Inside the Venue

Expect a host-controlled entrance, age and identification check, possible wait, and dress-code review. Once downstairs, the atmosphere shifts from cocktails and conversation to dancing as the evening progresses. The venue has its own bars and private lower-level restrooms, so guests do not normally need to return upstairs for basic service. Coat check has been provided for some private events and has appeared in visitor reports, but it should not be assumed for every public night.

Food and drinks come from The Ivory Peacock’s in-house program. The cuisine draws on French and Japanese influences and can include shareable plates, passed hors d’oeuvres, sandwiches, seafood and full meal-style platters for private events. Documented à la carte mains have generally fallen in the mid-$20s to low-$30s, while beer has been around $10 to $12. Cocktail and event-package pricing varies by night. Vegan and gluten-free options have been listed.

Merchandise is not a regular feature, and no dependable public Wi-Fi service is advertised. Load your ticket or reservation details before going downstairs. Photography policies can vary: private-event materials require approval for professional photography and branding, while ticketed productions may record promotional images or video.

### Nearby Amenities

NoMad offers numerous pre-show options within a short walk. The Ivory Peacock upstairs is the most convenient place for an early cocktail or meal. Nearby choices include restaurants around Madison Square Park, Eataly near Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street, and the bars and dining rooms lining West 26th and West 27th streets. For late food after Ploume closes, Koreatown around West 32nd Street generally offers more choices than the immediate Flatiron blocks.

Nearby hotels include The Evelyn, Ace Hotel New York, Virgin Hotels New York City, Motto by Hilton New York City Chelsea and Hotel Giraffe. Most are within roughly five to 15 minutes on foot. The concentration of hotels, subway stations and major avenues makes Ploume workable for both local guests and visitors without requiring a car.

### What Makes This Venue Special

Ploume combines qualities that rarely coexist in a 150-person room: a concealed basement atmosphere, sophisticated cocktail service, flexible furniture and credible nightclub production. It can host a seated reception in the early evening and become a dance club later without moving guests to another address. The four- or five-seat hidden bar adds a genuinely unusual detail rather than a purely decorative speakeasy theme.

Its cultural value comes from varied use. Alongside upscale private celebrations, Ploume has provided a setting for fundraising benefiting Black trans New Yorkers, nonprofit advocacy, alumni gatherings and community dance parties. World Gin Week also brought visiting bartenders and drink professionals into the building. These events connect the venue’s commercial nightlife role with charitable, professional and cultural communities.

No independent study has quantified Ploume’s economic impact. Its observable contribution is smaller and more local: hospitality employment, private-event spending, visiting DJs and bartenders, and additional evening traffic for NoMad restaurants, hotels, garages and transportation services. Claims involving jobs created, annual revenue or neighborhood-wide economic totals would be speculative and should not be presented as fact.

### Visitor Tips and Information

Ploume is a 21-and-over venue. Bring valid government-issued photo identification, even if you have a ticket or reservation. The official dress standard is “New York City Chic.” Baseball hats, hoodies, sweatshirts, sweatpants, athletic clothing, loud graphic shirts and excessively ripped jeans are specifically discouraged. A polished dress, jumpsuit, blazer, button-down shirt or refined fashion-forward outfit is safer than casual daytime clothing.

For reserved seating, assemble at least half the group before check-in and aim to arrive 15 to 30 minutes early. Do not assume that a general cocktail reservation guarantees access to a private event downstairs. Recheck the date, venue level and event name, particularly on weekends. Guests sensitive to loud sound or flashing effects should bring ear protection and review event-specific warnings.

Published listings describe Ploume as wheelchair accessible, with elevator access to the basement and accessible or gender-neutral restroom facilities. However, the venue has not published a detailed official access guide, and one visitor noted that basement access depends on the elevator being operational. Guests needing step-free entry should verify elevator status and seating arrangements in advance.

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Is Ploume still open?

Yes. As of August 24, 2026, Ploume continues to trade under its original name beneath The Ivory Peacock. Its current public information advertises cocktails, late-night table reservations, weekend nightlife and private-event bookings. Public service is generally Tuesday through Saturday, but private buyouts can affect access, so check the event listing before traveling.

#### What time does Ploume open and close?

Published Ploume hours are 5 p.m. to midnight on Tuesday and Wednesday, 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday, and 5 p.m. to 3 a.m. Friday and Saturday. DJs commonly begin around 11 p.m. on weekend nights. Event doors, kitchen hours and private-party schedules may differ from these general operating times.

#### How much do Ploume tickets cost?

Prices depend on the promoter and occasion. Past DJ events have ranged from free advance RSVP to approximately $40, while mixers have started near $15. Holiday admission can exceed $50, with open-bar, VIP and table packages costing considerably more. Treat those as historical ranges; the live event listing provides the applicable price for each night.

#### Can I buy admission at the door?

Door admission may be offered for certain events, but it is not dependable. Capacity is limited, private bookings are frequent and door prices can be higher than advance admission. A ticket or reservation also does not override age, dress or entry policies. For a specific celebration, secure admission in advance rather than relying on a same-night walk-up.

#### Does a table reservation guarantee entry?

No. Ploume states that final admission remains at the discretion of its door staff. At least half the group must be present when checking in, and parties arriving more than 15 minutes late may wait longer or lose their reservation. Dress-code compliance and any event-specific ticket requirement still apply to everyone in the group.

#### Is Ploume strictly 21 and over?

Yes. Venue event materials identify Ploume as a 21-and-over space, including when the lower level forms part of a larger building buyout. Carry a current government-issued photo ID. Private hosts should not assume that renting the room permits underage guests unless the venue has expressly approved an alternative arrangement in writing.

#### What is the Ploume dress code?

The stated dress code is “New York City Chic,” meaning polished, contemporary evening clothing. Avoid baseball hats, hoodies, sweatshirts, sweatpants, athletic wear, loud graphic shirts and heavily ripped jeans. Door staff make the final decision. Special events can impose a theme, as past Halloween nights requested elevated, fashion-conscious costumes without weapon-like props.

#### How many people does Ploume hold?

Published capacities vary with furniture and event format. Current materials indicate approximately 60 to 74 seated guests and up to 150 or 160 standing. A dinner, presentation or lounge setup will hold fewer people than an open cocktail reception. Private organizers should use the capacity written into their proposal rather than relying on a generic online figure.

#### Does Ploume have assigned seating?

No. Ploume is arranged with movable couches, booths, armchairs, ottomans and cocktail tables rather than numbered seats. Public nightlife is generally a combination of standing dance-floor space and reserved tables. Private hosts can configure the room for seated dinners, presentations, cocktail receptions or dancing, subject to capacity and production requirements.

#### Where is the entrance to Ploume?

Use The Ivory Peacock entrance at 38 West 26th Street. Once inside, proceed toward the rear of the main level, where a host can direct you to the lower-floor entrance. Certain private events use a dedicated host and controlled access point, so look for the event name rather than expecting prominent Ploume signage from the sidewalk.

#### Is Ploume wheelchair accessible?

Public listings describe the venue as wheelchair accessible and report elevator access to the basement. Accessible and gender-neutral restroom facilities are also advertised by event listings. Because official pages do not provide detailed measurements and a visitor has reported dependence on the elevator, verify that it is operating and request an appropriate table position before attending.

#### What is the nearest subway station?

The closest station is 28th Street at Broadway, around two blocks away and served by Broadway local trains according to the operating schedule. The 23rd Street F and M station, 23rd Street PATH and additional stations at 23rd and 28th streets are also walkable. Late-night service changes are common, especially after weekend closing time.

#### Is there parking at Ploume?

There is a commercial valet garage adjacent to the venue, entered near 55 West 26th Street, plus several garages within a few blocks. The adjacent facility has published a midnight closing time, earlier than Ploume’s weekend closing, so confirm retrieval hours carefully. Short evening parking in this part of Manhattan frequently costs around $30 or more.

#### Does Ploume serve food?

Yes. Food comes from the same in-house kitchen as The Ivory Peacock, with French- and Japanese-influenced dishes, shareable plates, sandwiches and event catering. Availability can narrow later at night, while private functions may have passed hors d’oeuvres, platters or bespoke menus. Dietary options listed by the venue include vegan and gluten-free choices.

#### Does Ploume have a coat check?

Coat check has been available during some public visits, weddings and private receptions, making it useful during New York winters. It is not consistently listed as a guaranteed nightly amenity, however. Bring only what you can comfortably keep with you unless your event information specifically confirms coat-check service and any associated charge.

#### Can I take photographs or video inside?

Casual phone photography may depend on the event, while professional photography, branding and production equipment require advance approval under private-booking policies. Some ticketed parties record promotional photographs or video and notify guests that entry constitutes consent. Avoid flash or filming other guests without permission, and follow instructions from security, performers and event organizers.

#### Can Ploume be rented privately?

Yes. Ploume can be booked independently or combined with The Ivory Peacock upstairs. It supports birthdays, engagement parties, weddings, corporate dinners, fundraisers, alumni events, presentations and DJ nights. Private packages can include food, beverage service, staffing, security, audiovisual support and room configuration, with pricing based on date, hours, attendance and service level.

#### How early should I arrive for an event?

Arrive about 15 to 30 minutes before the listed start, particularly when checking in a group or reserved table. Late-night headline DJs may begin around 11 p.m., but earlier arrival reduces door delays and reservation problems. If your booking requires half the party to be present, coordinate nearby and approach the entrance together.
