Celebrity Club

Celebrity Club, located at 77 East Sunrise Highway, was known as the Cotton Inn in the 1930s. Gaetano "Guy" Miceli was the proprietor of the Cotton Inn in 1938. In 1948, Paul Robeson, a prominent civil rights activist, singer, and actor, appeared at a rally supporting Henry A. Wallace's presidential campaign at the Cotton Inn in September 1948.

It remained the Cotton Inn until 1949, when new ownership reopened the venue as the Celebrity Club. Howard "Babe" Hicks was reported to be one of the bartenders. In 1958, the Celebrity Club was owned by Julius Hesse, who was also president of Emerald Pools, Inc. The club was advertised as the "Showcase of Talent."

In 1952, a cigarette left in a garbage can caused a fire that resulted in $10,000 in damages to the Celebrity Club. At the time, the club was operated by Irving Cohan of the Bronx.

In the 1992, the Holmes Brothers, a vocal and instrumental trio from Virginia, released an album that mentioned Freeport's Celebrity Club in the album's liner notes.
