"We opened Winnie's thirteen years ago as the Refinery Hotel's lobby bar, before introducing live jazz one or two nights a week. That programming evolved into something far greater, creating a true jazz destination known for outstanding performances, elevated cuisine and a dynamic bar program."
"McDonald wore many hats, but she served the Garment District workers. She served the ladies that frequented a lot of the shopping on Fifth Avenue because Lord & Taylor and many other department stores were there."
"The music world, especially jazz, is a very close-knit community, especially in New York, so it feels like a club even though it isn't. And everybody's invited."
Winnie's Jazz Club celebrated its grand reopening on March 19 at the Refinery Hotel in Manhattan's Garment District. After thirteen years, the club underwent a complete redesign by Garrett Singer Architecture + Design. Originally opened as a lobby bar, it evolved into a jazz destination known for live performances and elevated cuisine. Named after Winifred T. McDonald, the club aims to honor her legacy by providing a welcoming space for food, cocktails, and music. The rebranding to Winnie's Jazz Club reflects a commitment to inclusivity within the jazz community.
