Axl Rose, the iconic Guns N’ Roses frontman, made a triumphant return to the Mulberry on a Friday night, just 24 hours after his surprise appearance on stage with Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden. The Mulberry, a Downtown celebrity hotspot, hosted an after party for Rose last year, making it the perfect venue for his return.
Upon his arrival at the Mulberry, Rose seemed a bit disoriented but eventually recalled his previous visit to the bar. He reminisced about a past afterparty at the bar and even mistakenly referred to the exclusive Whisper Room as “the egg room.” It was only when he laid eyes on the private room, which has hosted other A-list celebrities like Janet Jackson and Taylor Swift, that his memory clicked into place.
Rose’s last visit to the Mulberry was back in August of 2023, where he had a brief stint in the Whisper Room before joining the crowd for a night of dancing and storytelling. DJ David Katz played Guns N’ Roses classics like “November Rain,” setting the perfect mood for Rose to interact with fans and share anecdotes from his glory days. The bar even presented him with a personalized bottle of Don Julio 1942, a gesture that showcased their appreciation for his presence.
Unfortunately, Rose’s previous party at the Mulberry was cut short due to unforeseen circumstances. A sudden rainstorm flooded the basement bar, forcing an early end to the festivities. However, Rose’s recent return proved to be a redo of that memorable night. He stayed at the Mulberry until the early hours of the morning, rocking out to the music well past the bar’s usual closing time.
Axl Rose’s epic return to the Nolita hotspot was a night to remember for both him and his fans. Despite the initial confusion, Rose’s trip down memory lane and interactions with partygoers made the evening unforgettable. The Mulberry will undoubtedly hold a special place in Rose’s heart, and his recent visit solidified his status as a rock legend with a penchant for unforgettable nights out.
