Opening its doors in 1965, Arthur was one of the hottest nightclubs in Manhattan. Founder, Sybil Burton, ex-wife of Richard Burton, opened the nightclub on East 54th Street, the site of the old El Morocco nightclub. Burton cleverly named the nightclub Arthur after reading an article about the Beatles coming to the United States. When they arrived, sporting their famous mop top hairstyles, a reporter asked George Harrison, "What do you call that hairstyle?" Harrison simply replied, "I call it Arthur."
Famous guests included Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Jackie Kennedy, Sammy Davis Jr., Truman Capote, and more! Andy Warhol reminisced about meeting Bette Davis, Sophia Loren, and the astronaut, Scott Carpenter at Arthur. Sadly, Arthur closed its doors in 1970.
