Richards on Richard’s spirit reborn on Seymour Street
It’s a few months behind schedule, but the old Richard’s on Richards owners are finally set to reopen their new club, 560, at 560 Seymour Street. Dick’s on Dicks closed on July 19, where it stood for over 40 years before being torn down by developers. Richard’s co-owner Vince Alvaro promised to resurrect the club at the old A&B Sound building on Seymour, with an ambitious three-story makeover that included four lounges and an art gallery. It appears he got what he wanted.
“It all turned out,” Alvaro told the Straight. “We have three dance floors, three different DJ areas, and the whole basement is a 6,000-square-foot unisex bathroom: When you come out of the stall, you’re on a dance floor. And a bar. Which is all made out of concrete.”
Alvaro said they’re down to finishing touches at the club. 560 was given a soft-opening during two private Olympic parties last month, but the new digs will officially welcome the public with a two-night stand starting March 26 from frequently underdressed superstar DJ Honey Dijon. After that, Alvaro promises live music during the week, and dancing on weekends. “That set-up is pretty much the same [as Richard’s],” he said. “The only real difference is on weekends, when it’s full-on nightclub.”
