Der Club verfiel in den 1960ern, wurde jedoch 1999 renoviert. Seit dieser Zeit finden wieder täglich Konzerte statt (unter musikalischer Leitung von Danny Mixon), an den Wochenenden mit international bekannten Jazzmusikern. Er diente mehrfach als Filmdrehort, unter anderem für den Spielfilm Shaft – Noch Fragen? sowie die Fernsehserien White Collar (2010) und NYC 22 (2012). Madonna drehte hier Szenen ihres Musikvideos "Secret". Im Jahr 2012 erschienen Meldungen, dass der Club von der Schließung bedroht sei, da der Vermieter die Miete um 100 % von 10.000 $ auf 20.000 $ angehoben hat. Der Besitzer, Alvin Reed, kündigte daraufhin die Schließung des Clubs zum Jahresende an. Die Lenox Lounge wurde am 31. Dezember 2012 geschlossen, die in Rot und Gold gehaltene Front und alle Leuchtbuchstaben des Namens nach Angaben des Gebäudebesitzers widerrechtlich vom Betreiber Alvin Reed demontiert. Der Besitzer des Namens Lenox Lounge und deren Betreiber, Alvin Reed, kündigte an, einige Straßen (333 Lenox Avenue) weiter die Lenox Lounch wieder zu eröffnen. Der neue Mieter will ebenfalls die Lenox Lounge (unter neuen Namen) im alten Stil weiterführen. Das Gebäude wurde 2017 abgerissen und durch einen Neubau ersetzt. (de)
- Lenox Lounge was a long-standing bar in Harlem, New York City. It was located in 288 Lenox Avenue, between 124th and 125th. The bar was founded in 1939 by Ralph Greco and served as a venue for performances by many great jazz artists, including Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, and John Coltrane. Harlem Renaissance writers James Baldwin and Langston Hughes were both patrons, as was Malcolm X. The bar deteriorated through the middle of the 20th century. Alvin Reid, Sr. purchased it in 1988 and restored the original Art Deco interior from September 1999 to March 2000, during the only closure in the bar's history. The Lenox Lounge was voted "Best of the Best" by the 2002 Zagat Survey Nightlife Guide and by the 2001 New York Magazine. In 2012, a rent increase threatened to shutter the establishment. In December 2012, it was announced that it would close at the end of the year. However in January 2013 Reid said he was reopening at 333 Lenox Avenue and that it would have its iconic neon sign there. Richard Notar, who owned the Nobu Restaurant chain and who took over the lease on the original 288 Lenox location, said he would maintain the decor of the original 288 lounge which does not yet have a name. In May 2017 the building was demolished. The Zebra Room was used for a key scene in the Mad Men pilot, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes". (en)
