Opened in 1980 in the same building that previously housed vaulted rock club the Fillmore East on Second Avenue and Sixth Street, The Saint featured a 5,000 square foot dance floor and planetarium-like dome.
It must have been something, because it’s one of those legendary places that 80s-era clubgoers are still raving about, even though the party has been over since 1988.
This 1986 ad appeared in the now-defunct neighborhood monthly East Village Eye. A bank branch exists at The Saint’s location today.
