Nocturnal Admissions

Widely recognized as the cofounder of the Avalon nightclub brand, Steve Adelman has earned a reputation for combining creativity and bottom-line economics into acclaimed projects worldwide.

In the early '90s, Adelman moved to New York City to open the Roxy, serving as its director. Only two years later he was tabbed as director of the iconic Limelight and within three years had expanded his role to include New York City's four largest nightclubs, including the Tunnel and Palladium.

In 1997, Adelman returned to Boston to launch Avalon on famed Lansdowne Street, which quickly became a national success. Over the next four years, he led a team to develop six venues on the famed street, turning it into the ultimate one-stop entertainment destination.

In 2002, Adelman purchased the Palace Theatre in Hollywood and Limelight in New York City, the same venue he directed ten years earlier. After one year and $12 million in construction and renovations, he launched Avalon on both coasts, along with the ultra-exclusive Spider Club. This "club within a club" became the ultimate celebrity haunt and along with Avalon became one of the country's most sought-after Nightlife experiences.

Always striving to be one step ahead and break new ground, he expanded his focus to Singapore, opening Avalon as part of the Marina Bay Sands Resort and Casino, becoming the first American-entertainment brand of its kind in Asia. Returning to the States, Adelman set his sights on renowned Beale Street in Memphis, restoring the historic New Daisy Theatre.
