Time Out says

This concert venue is a live music fan’s dream, as everyone from Al Green and Fall Out Boy to more recently discovered acts like Melanie Martinez have played on the stage. And if you like to dance, you can rock it out while your favorite artists perform. Find an open floor and balcony layout inside that’s standing room only and an assortment of draft and bottled beers, non-alcoholic drinks and bites when you need them. Most new shows are announced on the website on Thursday mornings. Consider buying tickets for popular acts in advance to avoid a sellout situation.

What’s on

Emo Night Brooklyn

Emo Night Brooklyn isn’t just a nostalgia trip for anyone who once scribbled lyrics on their Converse. It’s a sweaty, cathartic singalong where the playlist is curated by people who actually lived it—Ethan and Alex, who started this thing in a Williamsburg basement before it became a traveling rite of passage. The crowd is a mix of diehards and newcomers, all shouting along to the songs that got them through high school heartbreaks and awkward house parties. There’s no ironic detachment here—just a room full of people who still know every word to “I’m Not Okay.” If you’re looking for a night that’s equal parts throwback and release, this is it. Don’t bother dressing up; you’ll probably spill something jumping around anyway. Just show up ready to lose your voice and remember why these songs mattered in the first place.
