Flyfish Club is the world's first members-only private dining club and access is based on the purchase of a membership NFT. Based in New York, Flyfish Club is the newest venture from Gary Vaynerchuck and the NFT restaurant is set to open in early 2023.
While a regular membership costs 2.5 Ethereum and 4.25 Ethereum is needed to access the premium membership at Flyfish, and existing tokens can be leased or resold on a secondary market such as Opensea. Owners of the NFT tokens are granted access to pop-ups, an outdoor lounge, a cocktail lounge and an open kitchen, where guests can appreciate dishes made with fish that arrives straight from Japan. Flyfish token holders are permitted to bring guests, provided that they make adequate reservations for their party.
