Justin Timberlake’s Twelve Thirty Club

The design credits matter on a room like this, so let me set them down properly. AvroKO of New York did the interiors. Gresham Smith was the architect — and also the executive architect for all of Fifth + Broadway, so the venue and the development it sits in share a set of hands. Dowdle Construction built it. And the operator is Author & Edit Hospitality, Sam Fox’s company — not Fox Restaurant Concepts, which he sold to The Cheesecake Factory in 2019, carving this club out of the deal for himself.

The Credits Nobody Printed

Four Rooms

Thirty-eight thousand square feet, opened in stages — the Honky Tonk in July 2021, the rest by September 28. The Honky Tonk holds the street level. Honorary Member is the mezzanine, a fifty-person lounge with a paid membership behind the name. The Supper Club seats 400 beneath an 1,800-bottle wine wall — a wall, mind you, not a cellar; the bottles are part of the architecture. The Rooftop looks out over Lower Broadway and the skyline. Four rooms, and no two of them light the same way. I photograph rooms for a living — that’s the whole assignment in one sentence.

Second Pressing

Five years in, the club is open and Timberlake is still a partner. In late 2025 they announced a second Twelve Thirty Club for Austin — 35,000 square feet in a former U.S. Post Office on West 6th, due in late 2027. Texas gets the sequel. The original is here.
