The Plumm was a nightclub that opened on April 28, 2006, near the Meatpacking District of Manhattan. [1] [2] [3] It was co-owned by Noel Ashman, Chris Noth, Samantha Ronson, Joey McIntyre, Damon Dash, Jesse Bradford, Simon Rex, and Rodney Afshari among others. [1] [3]

The Plumm occupied the space that previously housed popular clubs such as Nell's and NA, which was named for Noel Ashman. [2] [3] The club was considered "semi private". Select people were invited to join the club for a fee and they were given what the club described as "membership key chains". Entrance for non-club members was at the discretion of door staff. [2]

Axl Rose and Tommy Hilfiger got into a physical fight at the club in May 2006. [4] [5] Guest DJs at the club included Lindsay Lohan, Agyness Deyn, and Joel Madden. [6]

The club closed in April 2009, citing high rents, debts accrued in running the club, and the Great Recession.[ citation needed ]
