Save the Robots was an underground after hours club in New York City's East Village neighborhood.
"Robots," as the venue was popularly known, operated illegally from a nondescript storefront and basement at 25 Avenue B, between East 2nd and 3rd Streets, from 1983 until mid-1984, when the club was shut down for fire safety violations.
After undergoing safety-related renovations and obtaining a social club license, the venue reopened in early January 1986.
[1] Save the Robots was known for its late hours of operation and sold only vodka, soda and fruit juice.
Patrons typically arrived after 4 a.m. and partied until the 8 a.m. closing time, often with the aid of recreational drugs.
