“We’re 5,800-square-feet all said and done, including the coffee shop,” Andy Cunningham, Golden Boy s co-owner, says sitting in the new office space inside the Gold Room. “What should be one of the biggest indoor music venues in town.”
From the curbside, the Gold Room looks a bit like a vacant strip-shopping storefront with a Golden Boy logo in the window as the only tip-off to what’s now in the space, which allows for more seating for regulars sipping coffee, working or studying in the already popular hangout.
The space is deep and wide with high ceilings, bringing to mind Hailey’s Club, with the addition of reserved tables for certain shows and events. The Gold Room keeps the theme from Golden Boy next door with black walls and yellow and gold accents, large gold-framed mirrors and more glitter-filled gold Lava Lamps.
