Five frames.
Elsewhere opened in 2017 in a converted Bushwick warehouse. Three rooms. The Hall (700 cap), Zone One (350 cap), Skytop (150-cap rooftop). The booking ran a stretch between 2018 and 2024 that took the New York underground baton from Output and 285 Kent. Funktion-One in the Hall. Rooftop bar with the Manhattan skyline as the back wall. The rooftop's small-cap programming on Sunday afternoons is the room's soft spot. Best place in Brooklyn to hear an act you have not heard of yet.
Skytop on Sunday afternoons. Smaller cap, rooftop view, the most interesting lineups.
Brooklyn's heir to the New York underground. Beautifully designed three-room building.
Friday and Saturday nights for the main programme. Skytop (the rooftop, 150 cap) on Sunday afternoons is the room's open secret. Weekday touring-act bookings run smaller and looser.
Open Thursday through Sunday, doors typically 20:00 to 04:00. Skytop rooftop programming on Sunday afternoons and selected summer evenings. Restaurant and patio earlier evenings.
L train to Jefferson Street, two-minute walk north. From Manhattan, 25 minutes by L. The venue is at 599 Johnson Avenue in Bushwick; the entrance is on the side street, the building is a former warehouse with no obvious signage.
