Club 57 was a nightclub located at 57 St. Mark's Place in the East Village, New York City during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

It was originally founded by Stanley Zbigniew Strychacki as well as Dominic Rose, then enhanced by nightclub performer Ann Magnuson, Susan Hannaford, and poet Tom Scully.

"[2]Magnuson describes a "Punk Do-It-Yourself aesthetic" which inspired events such as: Dany Johnson was the resident DJ of the club.

Tom Scully and Susan Hannaford ran a Monster Movie club on Tuesday nights.

[6] Besides Magnuson's input, the main contribution to the Club 57 style was from School of Visual Arts undergraduate students (including Haring, Holliday, Scharf, and Sex), who used it as a playground.

[citation needed] Ann Magnuson left her position as manager of Club 57 soon after forming the band Pulsallama, and just before being cast in The Hunger with David Bowie.

[9] Since Club 57’s closure, the building that once housed has become a voluntary not-for-profit behavioral health and primary care clinic.
