Went to industry city for Salsa in the city at 238 & had a ball!! What an amazing way to spend a beautiful, sunny NY Sunday . Met some new friends and totally learned some new moves ! I believe they have events every weekend so definitely check the website and enjoy the fun that's offered. read more

I came here for the lucky rice festival, which I guess I need to review separately from this venue. The space itself is huge and has an open layout! There's also an outdoor area / yard. I have been here before for a mister sunday (could've been mister saturday) party. read more

Industry City - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It's a shopping mall. That's really all you need to know. A really expensive, trendy, soulless shopping mall. But they allow dogs, so that bumps it up a star. read more

This place is amazing! It reminds me of a chelsea market but Brooklyn style. So many cool stores, restaurants and activities including an arcade, pool tables, bars, roller skating etc. great place to spend the day or evening and explore for all ages read more

Great vibe! A lot of creative energy, all kinds of events, and good food. I recently attended a free comedy show at the Frying Pan Brooklyn. The Coffee Bar in building 5 has the best bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. read more

I've been here a couple of times as it is a Uber ride away from me. There is confusion when taking a cab sometimes and this is also in a desolate area a walk from the train which is why I would take a cab. read more

Still a little sparse with vendors and a theme. The potential is great for making it a destination spot for truly unique businesses. Can't really shop here as the stores are more pop ups than ones where you would want to go back time and again. read more

This is basically a suburban shopping mall with poor parking options. The vibe is definitely long island romper room. The under-10 year old to adult ratio is 3 to 1. Some great businesses there but the shopping mall feel makes it feel like a little bit of Staten Island leaked over the bridge into Brooklyn. If that's what you're into you're going to love it. If you're looking for an authentic neighborhood experience go elsewhere. Brooklyn Flea at the Williamsburg bank building was a nicer venue and more interesting neighborhood. Smorgasburg doesn't really seem to work here since there are so many other food options. read more

Such a great vibe, so many cool things to stop and see or take pictures. Lots of international food and beer. Highly recommend visiting when going to Brooklyn read more

RENTERS' DANGER ZONE. I have rented an office for a year here. DON'T DO IT. The management office is dishonest and sloppy, they lie to you before you sign the lease and don't respond to questions about details. They are manipulative. I DON'T RECOMMEND RENTING HERE. There are no heaters after 5pm and they are located next to the water. It's insanely cold in winter and absolutely hot in summer because they have no shade. There was absolutely no hot water service for a year and no one fixed it. Everything is loud as disagreeable working hell. My machines will stop working because it's too cold. What kinda space is this? IT'S NOT A FUNCTIONAL PLACE. I have mails and packages stolen all the time. Ultimately, I think this is a victims' place. They are increasing the parking service fee for 17.5 for an hour now and they are painting buildings in BLACK. This is an idiot move as black gets the building really hot in summer while we are all trying to push the white rooftop movement in Manhattan to be energy efficient. It's at the renter's cost. They have no sense of physics and responsibility while working on building improvements. Floors aren't cleaned before painted, making holes when they install elevators. Elevators are programmed wrong. They have no freight services after 5pm and there is a 2 hour lunch break for service and that is absolutely a pain. Getting anything done like a new yorker here isn't possible as any additional service request will cost you a 500 dollars extra for operation on a half day whenever they decide to shut off for their holidays. Getting a office lease is a commitment and I think there are too much work and just suffering. It's not worth it. read more

Its a work in progress so 4 stars may be a bit much but the potential is there to be a huge cool place. Its mostly actual work spaces for companies M-F and its not super easy to get to by train but the waterfront is there and so is the space. Time will tell... read more

Overpriced & nothing special! I was never impressed. Not much of a selection of stores. They also hire exterminators to kill cats. I will never go there again. They should have a real rodent problem soon anyway. read more

Way overpriced. Many of the vendors were closed during the afternoon when I visited. There were no staff or personnel on site who could be of any assistance. read more

Food hall? What food hall? Everything is closed or they ran out. Poor business models. You think you are gonna be the next Chelsea Market??? Not with that attitude of poor customer service. read more

Lots to do -- and eat -- here, and the architecture intrigues, though it can still feel a bit sparse: There's loads of space to fill! read more

So let me start off by saying we were really excited to go skating at the new rollerskating rink in Industry city . We open the door to go into the place and I was just going to the table to the right (about 3 steps from where I was standing) to put my sons jacket down . right away the lady with pink hair stops me with her arm out and says oh you can go there you have to wait. I said oh ok . She didn't explain why the security guard actually was nice enough to come to me and explain And he says "they just don't want anyone going that way until they pay " so I said that's fine I just wanted to put my sons jacket and my jacket down so I have to hold it and wait on the line. He allowed me to. So it was my son his friend and his friends dad and I asked the price when It was my turn since it's a new place and it was the first time we were going there and she tells me $18 so I said okay . We say for two kids please she says okay no problem .. so I give my friend 20$ for my son we're thinking it'll be 36$ and she says 78$ and then turns the iPad towards us to sign so I questioned her nicely and I'm like isn't it $18 for the kids and she goes yeah but it's $18 each everyone has to pay admission to enter and that's completely fine but it's the way she said it. Very impolite , very rude. So I asked "OK can we cancel it and do it separate transaction because I don't have enough cash to give my friend to cover me also . " So she says "I already swiped the card " I said okay but there's an X on top you can exit the transaction because he didn't sign yet, she goes with an attitude and louder "but I already swiped it can't you like Venmo eachother or something ?" Like what ?! Omg So I let it go because I'm like whatever nothing good will come if I flip out on this lady right now and I don't want to ruin the kids playdate. So we go to the skate section to pick our skates for sizes the lady there was very sweet and they actually didn't have my sons size that he needed but they had a little bigger but it worked out and she apologized saying they haven't gotten all the skates in for the kids yet etc even though she was very nice they should let us know before we pay if they have the sizes or not. Then we get the skates on and we go to the rink and it's my son's first time so I am excited and trying to record him and a man with a unicorn shirt and in black and neon green zebra or tiger print tights doesn't say who is or anything just skates on by me and says " there's no cell phones on the rink" with an attitude. I said okay and obliged . Until about 30 minutes later I see the same man breaking some of the rules that are posted himself skating in the center of the rink, where it specifically says do not skate in the middle of the rink and then zigzagging in and out of the other skaters . So, to prove a point I take out my phone again and I'm ice-skating I'm just leaning on the side of barricade in the rink , making sure I'm not in anyone's way and I'm recording my son and he comes over to me and again he says to me "there's no phones if you want to take a picture you have to go outside of the rink" so I asked him "do you work here? " He says yes . I said "OK so you're well aware of the rules then because I saw you breaking some rules yourself..skating in the middle of the rink and also zigzagging in and out of other skaters." His response ? Well I work here and I'm security (ha) . So I replied you should all the more have to follow the rules if you work here. What kind of example are you setting then ? And skated away . An overall horrible and negative experience with their workers. Very unprofessional and rude. Industry city, you guys have been doing great for the kids and the community in general. You don't want things like this to ruin your name . Shame dreamland roller rink read more

I love exploring new neighborhoods in my beloved borough of Brooklyn. This incredible white space is located in Gowanus across the street from Costco. I love the versatility of this space. I attended the BK Fit: Brooklyn Health & Fitness Expo, but I can imagine the many other uses for this space like corporate, holiday, or birthday parties. It's an ideal space given its distance from residential property and proximity to public transit like the N/R train or B37/70 buses. read more

Industry City is a complex of renovated warehouses along the Gowanus in Brooklyn. I explored one building with cute shops, eateries and a Saks outlet. The outlet has designer clothes at great discount; I found 2 unusual silk blouses. One was too big, so the cashier offered to call another Saks and have my size sent to me. Using my Saks card saved me shipping, and the blouse in my size arrived in 3 days. So happy! World Market is another fun store, with household items. Bed, Bath and Beyond is there, too. There's a big parking lot you enter on Third Ave around 36th st, before Costco. Another building has artists lofts, which I want to explore next visit. There are events and rooftop films during the summer. Love this place! read more

fine place to have a large event. It very industrious as the name implies. Nothing spectacular..nothing really around there except Costco...building had nice big windows for lots of light, and was by the water. But its Brooklyn so nothing about it was super "pretty" or worth going too far out of your way for. read more

Cool place to hang out. They have lots of special events, classes, restaurants, shopping, etc. I wish the website was easier to find out about things that are going on there. It's fairly easy to get there by train and a short walk, but parking isn't easy. Great place to explore. read more

Industry City is home to a number of warehouses featuring attractions such as food courts, grocery stores, & large retail shops. These warehouses are separated by open green spaces that are ideal to hang out in during all seasons other than winter. Conveniently located near a subway station, I enjoy frequenting Industry City. read more

I did the Open Studio at Industry City. Every studio was overpriced. I left when I found out a "slightly stained" pillowcase cost $140. Ridiculous. The only upside was that on my way out I found Li-Lac Chocolate on 35th St. Wonderful. read more

The buildings are nice, or getting nicer as they continue to make massive renovations. The Food Hall is great, nice people in each and every store. There are definitely some things I think they need to fix ASAP because management makes working here pretty uncomfortable: 1. BATHROOMS - Have NO HEAT, ever - Cleaned once a day, if that - Rarely soap in the dispensers - NO HOT WATER - imagine in 20 degrees having to wash your hands in ice cold water and not being able to dry them with a napkin. They have these blow dryers which shoot out cold air and have no intention on adding napkins because of IC's "green efforts" - which I don't think they researched because they make and sell recyclable napkins. 2. THE BUILDINGS - The buildings are ALWAYS COLD. They do not put heat on and the air that is blowing through the vents is COLD air. Just walking to the restroom you have to put your winter coat and scarf on. - They said that they turn off the heat/air over the weekend and that it takes a long time before the buildings begin to heat up. These are lies, as the buildings never heat up and cold air comes out of the ventilation ducts. If this is the case then they should turn the head on Sunday so that people are not uncomfortable while at work. 3. WINDOWS - They did not take into account that almost throughout the entire day the sunlight refracts off the windows of the building's right across from us pointing a glaring and blinding light directly into our eyes making it almost impossible to read, write or look at your computer. They should have placed tinted covers over all of the top window panes to avoid this really terrible inconvenience. 4. CLEANLINESS - They do not at all mop, sweep, or take garbage out from each office - this service should come with renting space in the building. There are many other items I could list, I tried contacting management but they were extremely blunt and short with any of the requests, suggestions or ideas we all had. So therefore, I will be leaving reviews such as this across all websites where Industry City has an account/profile built in hopes that they take their tenants requests seriously. read more

Really great place for an eclectic mix of food. The courtyard is great for working in on a weekday afternoon or lounging in the sun on a weekend. I'm keeping an eye on this place, lots of new good things to come read more

But no parking!!!! The parking lot machines have no instructions and are difficult to use. What a disaster.

A great place to hang out if you like modern design. The downside: rent is very expensive for an industrial area as such. There's not much in this neighborhood and limited choice of food and retail. read more

There is no affordable short term parking despite lots of room/option. For a complex of this scale to not have been planned/developed with short term parking for consumers and visitors is a huge fail, and it sadly meant I wasn't able to visit/or spend any time or money at Industry CIty! read more

I remember when this whole lot used to be a dump and no one dared to even hang out in the area. Now, it's becoming like the next Williamsburg with lots of events and stores opening. Public parking is a bit hard to find in the area unless you pay for garage parking. We came here on a Sunday to stop by for a lunch break before we were heading to Costco and noticed a sign that says Food Hall. I'd imagine it to be like a Chelsea Market concept except it was completely dead inside. There was literally only one food stall opened. I couldn't check online for the store hours because their website seems premature with nothing but pictures. We walked through the Food Hall and they have at least 15 stalls from sandwiches to noodles but none were open except for Avocaderia. I found it to be a bit strange and eerie but we had no choice and decided to get our lunch at Avocaderia. Maybe they're running on a Sunday schedule but you would think they would want to attract more people on the weekends. This definitely a far cry from Chelsea Market. read more

Isn't Industry City a big indie shopping center? I would have loved to have seen these small businesses peppering the storefronts and live work spaces throughout Brklyn that interact with the community. It is a package of "crafted" and "industrial chic" that STARTED Brooklyn - but that is already dated and feels suburban. Already packaged and franchised. Please think of your community before you develop. These are not "destination" businesses but isolation businesses. read more

Beautiful space for an outdoor movie. I had a great time, plus they gave out free beer. Just wish the shops would stay open a bit longer.

did the first annual beer/wine/liquor festival here and it was great. not to overwhelming and good crowd. definitely would do it again

The outdoor patio is nice but everything is overpriced. $2 for a small Poland Spring? Blasphemy.
