I think it depends on the artist, but they were pretty easygoing about bags. One thing to keep in mind is that the restroom lines can get really long, so try to time your bathroom breaks well. The architecture of the place is gorgeous, and the bartenders were very nice and polite.

You can expect people to have laptops at a mid-week show where they are obviously coming from work. Combine this with the connection to Ticketmaster and I will reconsider any shows connected to this venue. Happy to support some of my favorite artists! It's too bad greedy venues and production companies are ruining the scene.

I went to the ISSUE Project Room for the first time back in February this year. ISSUE presented…read morethree different performance shows from February 23-25 in celebration of The Necks' 30th Anniversary. The ISSUE Project Room is a nonprofit performance space that facilitates this type of specialized programming. The night I went to ISSUE, it was a standalone performance with just the group. The venue is housed in a beautiful building with high ceilings and gorgeous archways. The floors are marble and the acoustics in there are amazing. You may catch yourself forgetting that you are in downtown Brooklyn when you are inside. The building is at the corner of Boerum and Livingston. It's a little tricky to find the entrance to ISSUE because there isn't obvious signage. Watch your step going in. On the night of The Neck show, there was a table set up where a person took your name and then directed you to enter a performance hall to the right. There were seats, but all of them had been snatched up by early birds. There were many people standing in the back, leaning against the wall, and sitting on the marble ground (I eventually was one of these people). However, it almost didn't matter where you were because the sound was spectacular in there. For the type of show this way, it's more about the audio and soundscapes created. I didn't want to lose my floor spot, so I didn't venture off into the main lobby during intermission. However, you could buy drinks (alcohol, bottled water) there if you wanted. After the show, I picked up a flyer with info about future performances and events. Definitely, I see myself going back to ISSUE to check them out.

Seating was nice near the front door and apparently they have events some Friday nights where you'll be able to hear live music (as was the case later on in the evening at my event). This is closer to the first place I lived in NYC so probably a great place to go if you live near the L train or like that artsy Brooklyn aesthetic. Not sure I'd return since it's a bit of a hike for me.

I can only speak on open air events, but the inside looked promising. You gotta walk through it if you're doing an outside gig. I don't recall free water and reasonable prices for concessions.

No one had their phone out when I went, as there's not much to take photos of. You're really just there to vibe. The summer night I went, there was room to move around without bumping into anyone, and there's also a massive outdoor yard where I watched friends disappear into smoke circles. I didn't get creeped on, which I consider a win and I think is because it really draws a crowd who is there for the music. I did try to return recently with a group and got turned away because they were hosting a lesbian night. Some of my friends found the door person to be mean but I think they were just being protective of the space and I respect it. See, they're not just trying to commodify the space. I hope that's actually indicative of the space being protected from the likes of the people who make other clubs so whack. I'll definitely be returning this summer.

Ordered a hookah which was $40 ( cash or cashapp only) flavor was good. Drinks were overpriced in my opinion, a henny and ginger ale and shot of patron was $40 in a small plastic cup. DJ was good bathrooms were typically nasty. Overall not terrible, smoked hookah had a drink and left after about an hour.

The upstairs has sofas, a flatscreen tv and oddly enough, a stripper pole in the center of the floor lol. Theres also a kitchen up there and a restroom. I've been told they have a "dirty" room up there but I never went investigating. I guess that's where you go after your drunk and had a few twirls on the stripper pole. The main floor has the pool table, a little stage where the DJ sets up, a bar, minimal seating and a small dance floor. The negative is the smoke room which is located downstairs. I like the fact that they keep the smoke away from the bar and "dance" floor but they moved it downstairs close to the restrooms. I don't know about you but when I drink I have to use the bathroom a lot. I'm not a smoker and don't really like holding my breath everytime I have to go into the "dungeon" to use the bathroom.
