Passing through various iterations including Club Ovo, China Club and the Rhythm Club, all of which had the same basic business plan of music+alcohol+sex=money, Warsaw finally transformed itself, with the help of George and Leo Nunez, into the center of the buff-boy universe in 1989. The building housing Warsaw was erected in 1939 as Hoffman’s Cafeteria by Henry Hohauser, one of South Beach’s most talented and prolific architects. Gerry Kelly, Maxwell Blandford and the boys from Level’s Federation 1235 gave the club a proper send-off with a torrid one-night stand of dance, drink and debauchery. One of South Beach’s legendarily decadent nightclubs was laid to rest in a blaze of glory on Friday, May 25th, when the Warsaw Ballroom pulled the velvet ropes for one final fling.
