It is a pretty spacious venue. They don't have a bottomless brunch option like most similar places but they have exaggerated large cocktails that can be shared. We did two towers (200 total I believe) for 8 people and actually was too much. The drink was strong and our batches could of been mixed better, had to use water to cut it. The servers were incredible as well. The establishment also offers hookah. If you are going for the food that's probably not the best idea. The do other things well. Also a surprise is that there is a rooftop where the party spills over there when its warm out. Honestly my rating is probably between a 3.5/4 for this place.

I was told that they reserve street spots for valet 60$..... biggest set a nonsense with the illegal use of public streets not even in front of the venue. Any other night it would have been something... but I lived for peace as I was already running late. Upon entering the upstairs the heat hit me straight!!! Sooo AC was NOT functioning well and I was there for a Buju Banton album release ... the place hadn't gotten packed yet, but the heat had sweat rolling off people. A little reprieve on the rooftop that had a couple large fans.. cute space but the back bar wasn't open... and you can't see the stage from the back.. so back to the front. Bottle service was acceptable and music was good... but that heat!!

May be why there's only 3 people in there at the moment? Not sure but hopefully the owner maybe takes notice. A dive bar hate to see me coming with a Christmas bonus and the upmost respect for the servers, but it's a shame we all agreed vibes were insanely off here to even have a single drink... lol.

This is a Knockdown Center review through Tiki Disco eyes, because that is how I first understood…read morethe venue at its highest use. Tiki Disco is more than a party, and my first experiences with it in the Ruins were nourishment for the soul during a certain New York chapter. It powered me through the corporate Monday morning bargain that often felt like the price of admission to New York. I first went in 2013, after learning about Tiki from people whose taste I trusted. DJs I followed knew Lloyd, Eli, and Andy and described the party with admiration, making it feel essential. So I went, and within minutes I remember thinking, "Good Lord, this is incredible." It was a feeling I have only had a handful of times while chasing thrills in cities around the world. The crowd was part of the revelation: striking and free-spirited, with a physical aliveness that made the afternoon hum. People were dressed with that impossible Brooklyn ease where skin appeared here and there without feeling thirsty or staged. This was the beginning of the social media boom, when people were broadcasting a "perfect life" from Ibiza and Mykonos. Those places were being sold as aspirational cool, but Tiki made the better argument: maybe summer in Europe would happen someday, but for that Sunday, the real magic was a bike ride or subway ride away, right on the Bushwick and Maspeth edge. What made it unforgettable was 2 forces meeting at full strength. Tiki brought the music, people, and spirit; Knockdown Center brought the scale, texture, and atmosphere. The Ruins had brick walls, industrial windows, and a smokestack over the courtyard, giving the outdoor space the feeling of something discovered rather than staged. People drank Modelo cans, ate mini Roberta's pizzas, and swayed through the afternoon inside one of the city's best secrets. The party felt like a generous island in New York: part club and part commune. It grew from a circle of friends into something much larger while keeping a shared code of warmth, taste, and welcome. As Tiki continues to reach new audiences, that spirit remains at its heart. Tiki knows how to carry the original spark forward. I loved day parties from that era, including Été d'Amour, Warm Up at MoMA PS1, Mister Sunday at Industry City, and The Well for Tiki and Lee Burridge's All Day I Dream. But nothing matched Tiki Disco at Knockdown Center when a hot Sunday afternoon became a full outdoor dance floor under the New York sky. The day began in bright heat, then gathered force as the sun dropped behind the brick, and the courtyard moved as one. Lloyd, Eli, and Andy have world-class taste and a masterful command of the CDJs, but they carry it lightly. They would never announce that talent; they show you, smile modestly if you notice, and then fade back into the New York jungle. I still remember Lloyd playing Stars on 33's "Something You Can Feel" at the high point, when the song gathered the afternoon into one shimmering, collective peak. That first Tiki impression also includes Eli dropping Todd Terje's "Inspector Norse," a record woven into the party's vocabulary. The sound was serious, clean, and precisely tuned, with what sounded like a portable Funktion One setup giving the music power and clarity. The DJs knew how to build the moment, and Knockdown gave it space, height, and brick wall resonance. The staff deserve credit too, because an outdoor party like that only works when the crew protects the energy intelligently. Security seemed relaxed and alert, letting the harmless weirdness breathe while quietly squashing the negative without making the afternoon feel policed. Tiki Disco in the Ruins captured one of the sexiest and most quintessential versions of bohemian New York I've ever experienced. It creates a community that can, for a few hours, push back against the fear, status anxiety, and shame that city life pours into people. It is metaphysical in the best possible way because it comes through music, sunlight, and sweat.

Seating really truly is limited once they open the doors so you may be standing. Got there early so I easily got a seat. I thought everyone was nice.

My concert doors opened maybe 20 min late and I was fortunate enough to see band playing on the rooftop too. I was maybe 5 min late to doors opening and all of the good spots were already taken! I guess that's New York for you. I found a little nook that no one thought of & placed myself there for the rest of the night. Highly recommend as a concert venue! Curious to see if it's open when it's not a concert hall. Would love to check out!!

The sound quality was great, and the overall vibe was cozy and intimate. Although I didn't drink, I noticed there was a bar, so it seems like a nice spot to enjoy a drink while watching a show. The bathroom line was a bit long, though, so that's something to consider. On the bright side, they offer coat check, which is a nice touch for the winter months.

This place is pretty sweet as you enter and feel the inner child/nerd come out. It's great place to bring the boys out to hang out, a place decent date night with your partner and for anybody in general. The employees were nice to introduce me to their specialty drinks and other items. I ended up getting the Appletini which had a somewhat sweet yet sour taste. Pretty good 7/10. I do recommend playing the weather simulator game since it has a bunch of options to play solo and coop. Then there's the box bird game that pins two players to collect as much points as you can. Pretty simple. I did enjoy this fighting game that doesn't require much knowledge. It has your simple lows and heavys and an auto combo. Pork was a great character to play with. Definitely recommend coming here
