As far as warehouses for parties in Brooklyn this is one of the better ones. Not bad at all. The Pros: Got in really quick There was a lot of space They had good heat. Sounds dumb but it is wide open in the back so a lot of cold air could get in and it was ice cold out when i went. Drinks were super strong(that might be a negative because they were so strong I could barely drink them) The Cons: It is way far away, I mean really far. I know all warehouse parties are in the middle of no where but this was exceptionally out there. The sound system was kind of lacking. I seemed to get louder throughout the night but I didn’t have to scream to talk to someone which is usually a signal that it isn’t loud enough.

I actually really liked this venue! Just a simple large warehouse with great air ventilation, at least for when we went for anjunabeats at the end of Jan 2016. It was pretty cold, and the entrance to the warehouse was wide open, so cool air flowed in the entire time. So much better than pier 94 in terms of both sound systems and space(Pier 94 had a super awkward layout with a bar stuck right in the middle of the crowds, and no ventilation/broken speakers) Didn’t like how the stage was so low; why don’t venues prop the artists up higher so everyone can see! :’( Maybe 15 – 20 port-a-potties outside. Coat Check is downstairs, wait is super long. It’s a pretty far drive into brooklyn though(and in the middle of some pretty shady looking warehouses…)!

Woof. Mixed drinks are $ 16, beer is $ 10. They use crappy bottom shelf liquor, and I tell you this because the headache i had today was horrible. They tell you they take credit cards at the bar, but there’s only one credit card machine in the entire place. so the bartender ringing you up, has to find the portable machine floating around somewhere, and then finish the transaction. The bartender I went to, didn’t want to go find said portable machine, and asked me to use the ATM. Fine with me… LOL, the surcharge is 9.50. Yeah, I know. Coat check is $ 6 and in the basement of the venue which looks sketchy as hell. I didn’t get to experience the sweltering heat because the show I went to was at the end of January. The warehouse was rather warm considering the gigantic door that’s open in the back. I also don’t do drugs, so the temperature was comfortable to me. I didn’t get to experience the horrible outside bathroom situation, since I had VIP. Would I go back? Nah. I’m good.

I paid $ 50 for a ticket and waited in line for over an hour after doors had opened to see FKA Twigs. The repurposed-warehouse venue has no ventilation, no air conditioning, no fans, and no real bathrooms(just port-a-potties). It was like a greenhouse in there — hot, musty, moist. Between the absurd number of people packed in the venue, the basic bitches taking pictures on their cell phones the entire time, and the one asshole with the tall hat, I couldn’t see anything, at least until people started leaving en masse halfway through. To be fair, the intense physical discomfort made the experience feel like a hazy fever dream, which was fitting for a Twigs show. But I’m never going back.
