The Water Club (restaurant)
The Water Club is an American traditional cuisine event venue moored on a barge on the East River at East 30th Street in Murray Hill, in Manhattan, New York City.
The venue, whose view faces Queens, serves classic American cuisine and seafood.
The space is leased from the city's economic development corporation, and the rent is determined by the amount of revenue. The New York City Comptroller issued a report in 2011 alleging that the Water Club was understating its revenue by failing to record some cash sales.
From its opening in 1982 through 2017, The Water Club was operated as a restaurant. Since early 2018 the restaurant has closed, and the barge is now used exclusively as a venue for private events.
