Five Five Endeavors is currently building out a portion of the Crocker Bank Building’s basement level for a new bar/lounge called the Crocker Club. The establishment — to be located at 5th and Spring — is described as a 1920’s speakeasy-themed upscale club for private members in an old bank vault.
This weekend construction crews were busy reshaping the structure’s ground level along 5th to make way for a new 1,000 square-foot “waiting room” entrance to the underground space, which previous reports state will be through a “hidden door.”
The 6,000 square-foot venue will feature a dance floor, bar and multiple seating areas with space for a few hundred patrons, according to the floor plan approved in July 2007. The refurbished space will retain the original Italian marble, wood finishes and mosaic floors.

a private club??? well, that sucks.
Seriously… all of the pseudo upscale dipshits trying to make downtown so “expensive” need to re-think their strategy. How about a new all night diner? A burger and fries joint or basic cafe with salads and good sammies? If downtown wants to be a contender, it needs to start offering up meal and dinner options that don’t require fancy shoes and a black Amex.
I’m with you, Sven. It struck me as I was looking for a new apartment that almost every new development is marketed as “luxury” this or “upscale” that.
There’s a few great restaurants and developments coming in that are more mid-market, but the demand for midrange venues and projects is really high.
We really don’t need Downtown to price out all but the chosen few…
i suspect there are number of businesses and residents that want more mid-scale businesses, but i get the feeling that a lot of property owners are holding out for up-scale rents.
i think this is a great idea n i can’t wait till it opens so i can have a cocktail… u people may not know it yet but downtown is about to have some major changes in the next 5 years and that means no more mid scale diners… upscale bars like the crocker club is what it’s all going to be about…
can’t wait:)
