Party Boys: How the Ballinger Brothers Built the Best Nightclubs in the World

PARTY BOYS is the amazing true story of how a family from a small farm town in Canada built an entertainment empire in New York City where more than 40 million people danced, laughed, and had the time of their lives.

Bestselling author Lon Ballinger provides an inside look at the Golden Era of New York City Nightlife! A leader and innovator in the nightclub industry for more than 40 years, Ballinger opened and operated Webster Hall, Ballinger's, Heartbreak Hotel, and the Boom Boom Room.

A larger-than-life true story, Party Boys is about how a band of dirt-poor Canadian brothers turned nightlife in Canada and New York City on its collective ear. From the birth of disco to hip-hop, the Ballinger brothers helped shape a dazzling culture where Mick Jagger, Prince, and Madonna performed, musical acts got their start and people like Lady Gaga, Bill and Hillary Clinton came to dance and enjoy the music!

Party Boys will drop you into the driver's seat of the golden era of nightlife from 1977 to 2017 when this unique and fun-filled era ruled the lives (and loves) of young people everywhere. Experience a time in history when both nightlife and fashion were daring and spectacular, and dance music was both new and fresh-a riotous and fun-filled journey of mischief, magic, madness, and music-driven monkey business.
