CLUBLAND: Isaac Tigrett, co-creator of the Hard Rock Cafes, sold his interests in that global success in 1988 because it had gotten too “Hollywood.”
So what’s he doing now? Opening up a new club next summer . . . in Hollywood. Or at least West Hollywood.
Tigrett has a January groundbreaking planned at the corner of Sunset and Olive for the House of Blues, which he promises will be “the ultimate supper club in the world.”
But he swears this will be nothing like what the Hard Rock has become. “This will be a palace to the blues and the music it has influenced,” the 44-year-old native of Jackson, Tenn., says. “I want to create a showplace for this music that was never mainstream and never will be.” The first House of Blues just opened in Cambridge, Mass.
