Savannah’s iconic Club One is relocating from its longtime home at 1 Jefferson St. to 301 Williamson St. this spring.
According to a press release, the move is in conjunction with Club One’s new relationship with the Pride Holdings Group, a publicly traded company that focuses on developing and operating hospitality and entertainment venues for the LGBTQ+ community.
Many locals will recognize 301 Williamson St. as the former home of Elan, the performance and event venue that closed in November 2024.
Club One opened its doors at 1 Jefferson in 1988 and became internationally famous in the 1990s upon the publication of John Berendt’s bestselling “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” as the performing home of drag queen Lady Chablis.
“For almost four decades, our legendary stage has welcomed countless performers and entertainers, including the Legendary Lady Chablis, earning its place as a cornerstone of nightlife in the Southeast, and global recognition,” a statement from Club One said. “Our iconic disco ball has watched over guests from around the world as they come to experience the magic of Savannah. Our walls offer refuge, celebration, and a safe space for all who walk through our doors.”
The new Club One space will be Savannah’s first multi-level dance, show, and entertainment complex, according to the press release.
There will be farewell celebrations leading up to Club One’s final day of business at 1 Jefferson. The events will begin on Earth Day, April 22, and continue through the weekend, with the final day at 1 Jefferson on Monday, April 27.
