Nightlife moguls Ronnie Flynn and Dylan Hales talk about building an empire.
New York’s busiest nightlife moguls Ronnie Flynn and Dylan Hales talk taking over the Lower East Side and beyond.For all of the restaurants and bars in New York City, finding the right place for a night out can be a bit of a Goldilocks paradox. Some bars are too loud, or too exclusive, or too tame — simply just not right. Five years ago, Ronnie Flynn and Dylan Hales decided to solve that problem. “It's not like we broke the mold and did some crazy new concept,” Fynn says.
Most recently, the pair took over the rooftop at the Walker Hotel to create The Flower Shop x Walker Hotel — a sort of soft launch for their next venture: bringing The Flower Shop to a city near you. Here, the pair talk about building their empire and making The Flower Shop a household name. We went into it with this dream of, we're going to make this place feel cool, but everyone's welcome. Then we want to eventually, hopefully, be an institution and be in the same sort of realm as Balthazar, and all these old school places that have been around for a long time. So I think we were trying to be authentic and delicate in that.Flynn:
What is something you think, or hope, people can recognize as a trademark from one of your properties?Whether people know it or not in the general public, we're Australian. I mean, we've been [in New York] for 15 years plus, each. But it's like I think kind of welcoming, sort of cheeky, don't take things too seriously, have a bit of fun, authentic kind of attitude, hopefully, sort of shine through on everything we touch.
