Callers hoping to book dates for weddings and other events were recently told no reservations were being taken while O’Keeffe weighed options for the fabled venue.
The Water Club, a boldface-favorite Manhattan riverfront restaurant and celebration venue for 42 years, faces a murky future — if any.
An insider told The Post that his deal with the Department of Ports and Terminals allows O’Keeffe to sell the license, but the sale is subject to city approval of the potential new operator’s management track record and financial qualifications.A rep for the city’s Economic Development Corp. wasn’t immediately able to provide details.
Guests were transported from Manhattan’s mean streets by the sight of nautical flags, Chopin Nocturnes on the dining room soundtrack and the occasional roll from the wake of passing freighters. But the business struggled with environmental challenges. The barge nearly sank when Superstorm Sandy flooded its cabin and that of O’Keeffe’s River Cafe in Brooklyn in 2012. Both were able to reopen a year later. The Water Club was later converted into a private events venue.
