Venues in Brooklyn, New York

Went for Bratland which was a once in a lifetime experience, unfortunately wish there were more dancers here but the venue does an amazing job providing just an absolute one of a kind atmosphere, the sound system is great, the patio is super fun, and overall it's just a very inviting space that did feel pretty safe for how many people there were. Queer spaces like this are just so important.

WOW! I don’t have words to describe how much fun this place is! We are from out of town and wanted something fun to do and I am so glad we found this! The shows, people atmosphere were amazing! Definitely recommend if you are looking for a fun time! We bought the table tickets with alcohol included which was awesome! Service was awesome!

We’re Hye House NYC a collective of young Armenians throwing community parties and cultural events in NYC. (Follow the gang @hyehouse.nyc on Instagram) We booked out the VIP Section at Elsewhere for DJ Habibeats, and brought out 50 people. It was incredible. The Elsewhere team made the night seamless and special for our group. Arianna, Francisca, and Lee were amazing to work with: flexible where needed, present, and kind the whole time. Huge shout-out to Lee, (SECOND PHOTO

I had a great time at Elsewhere! The atmosphere was lively and the music was excellent. I appreciated how professional and attentive the staff were.. it made me feel safe throughout the night, which isn’t always the case at busy clubs. The rooftop was a highlight with a nice vibe and fresh air, perfect for a break from the main floor. That said, there’s room for improvement. The bathrooms could honestly have been a lot cleaner, and the stairs leading up to the rooftop felt a bit dangerous something to be mindful of if you’re wearing heels or if it’s crowded.. or very tipsy. The metal stairs are also outside. Overall though, a solid spot for a night out and I’d come back again.

After walking across the Brooklyn Bridge to the DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) area of Brooklyn my wife and I decided to have lunch at the Timeout Market foodhall. There were many wonderful indoor food stalls options on the ground floor together with the large Cecconi's restaurant with sitting outside next to the riverside with fantastic views of the Manhattan Bridge, as well as indoors. After looking at all the food stalls options on the ground floor, we took the lift up to check out the open air seating area on the 5th floor rooftop, as I had downloaded the App that allowed me to look at all the food options from the stalls, order anything I wanted, pay for it online and have it delivered to our table on the rooftop. When we got to the 5th floor we discovered there was a smaller foodhall with 5 food stalls and a bar. The Bark Barbeque stall immediately caught our attention as it was the only one with a queue and we love BBQ food. So I queued up for 15 minutes and I ordered some fantastic Dominican BBQ food (beef brisket, pulled pork sandwich, smoked conitas & cornbread with honey bitter), which we enjoyed with a couple of great IPA beers that my wife had purchased from the bar, sitting at a bench table. There was also outside seating on the rooftop for diners, in addition to a public terrace with fantastic views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge & NYC skyline. There are toilets on the first floor, which had big queues, and inside the 5th floor foodhall. The riverside with beautiful parks and Jane's Carousel can be accessed from the back of the mall. Of the 3 food halls we visited on this trip to NYC (Chelsea Market & Market 57 being the others) this was by far our favourite and we would highly recommend it.

We went in the late afternoon and the place was packed. Long lines to order, and you have to hunt for a seat or wait for one to open up. Definitely sit outside on the terrace - the view of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge is amazing! Food was super tasty, service was good, place is clean, and the vibe is great. 🌇🍴

Drinks were good and bartenders were very sweet. Had an unfortunately very bad interaction while using the bathroom band was threatened with physical violence by one of the male workers because of it. Very cute spot, but as a woman would not recommend. There are better bars with a nicer crowd in the area, and bedstuy locals do not go here.

Amazing bar for great on tap beers, company and conversation.

It's a local neighborhood dive bar with a laid-back atmosphere. While I'm not particularly fond of their drink selection, I usually opt for hard seltzer. It's always a great time with friends, especially when we're playing board games!

Just the best place. Same bartender who's there just about always, super kind and inclusive. Immaculate decor. Banger drinks. You really can't go wrong with this place. Play some games and get an electric lemonade :) ... I think that's what it's called (it did the job so the name is a little fuzzy)

Fantastic. Excellent service & food. Great staffs, respects their customers. We both ordered L.I. Burger w/bacon + scotch soda highball. fries were out temporarily, replaced with chips Highly recommend!

Long Island Bar is perfection. The food hits that sweet spot of comforting but inventive, and the drinks flow so easy you lose track of the decade you’re in. Part of me doesn’t even want to write this because I don’t need TikTok mobs storming our neighborhood gem. Start with the cheese curds and pretend you’re balancing them out with the gem salad. The deviled eggs are a must, and the burger never misses. Even the white Negroni, glowing radioactive yellow, tastes like it was invented here. Every detail is dialed in and the bus boys somehow always know when you are done even if their are fries left?? How?? It’s the kind of place that feels like yours the moment you sit down. No gimmicks, just timeless perfection. Easily the best restaurant in South Brooklyn.

🔥had an amazing experience at this restaurant in Bushwick! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was cooked to perfection, and the portions were just right. The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. Highly recommend trying the smoked salmon 🍣 it was absolutely delicious!

Came to dive bar a few times. The staff is always amazing and outgoing. I have to say Chris the bartender, Amber the bartender, Kris the hostess and Adrien the hookah guy are always very intensive and all on their A game at their job. Definitely recommend this spot for a good time if you’re ever in Bushwick Brooklyn. 5 stars for all of these people mentioned.

The bouncer is incredibly disrespectful and should not only be fired, but Bembe should be sued for poor hiring and retention practices. The bouncer aggressively hit on me as I was entering the ladies room. I politely declined his advances. Later in the evening as he was passing by and saw me sitting by myself (my date was purchasing drinks at the bar), out of the blue he began uttering some pretty disrespectful and loud comments. I was so embarrassed. I dressed him down, and immediately reported him to the manager. My date and I left with assurances from the manager that the bouncer would be fired because they were fed up of receiving complaints about him. I have never stepped foot in Bembe since. He should have been fired on the spot for his insane conduct and management should have followed up with me via phone to express their regrets and to offer some gesture in the way of trying to amend matters. Failure all around. Poor hiring, poor management, insane bouncer.

Had a really great time at this place. Everyone was just having a good time, with no drama. The DJ was pretty good also.

Great fun place. Have not been since 2020 but I do miss the DJs that did vinyl only in that back area. hopefully they still do that!

Great house music and good vibes. Good crowd that enjoys the music as well. Cover was $20
