The 40/40 Club is a chain of sports bars and lounges owned by hip hop mogul Jay-Z and business partners. The name is borrowed from the baseball term used to denote the exclusive group of Major League Baseball players who have achieved the rare individual feat of recording 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in a single season.The first 40/40 Club opened in New York City in 2003; this was followed by locations in Atlantic City in 2005, in Las Vegas in 2007, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in 2012, and at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport in 2014.
The 40/40 club branch in Kampala reportedly opened up officially yesterday the 26th.
The venues are known for their live music, celebrity patrons, and sports memorabilia. The brand gained recognition when Jay-Z referenced his investment in his 2003 song "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" with the line "Now you chillin' with a boss, bitch of course SC on the sleeve / at the 40/40 club ESPN on the screen".
So, prepare for the best live band music, and a lot of sports in the city ... hopefully!
