A hidden gem! From the outside, this place looks like literally nothing. Some buildings with streets in between. In fact, when I was invited here I thought I showed up at the wrong place. However, upon entering, I was pleasantly surprised. Industry City is so dang cute! I love the decor and the idea of having a lively outdoor space between two buildings. My only complaint is how early everything closes. We came at 8pm on a Saturday and the place was dead. Almost every business was already closed except a bar who was having a party because they were about to get kicked out of the space. With such a beautiful outdoor space, I wish there was more nightlife! read more

Industry city is a really cool urban campus with tons of restaurants, shops, and many events happening! I particularly enjoyed learning about the history of the space. Industry city was originally a manufacturing facility but has gone though major redevelopment and is now an industrial site supporting many businesses The day I went, there was a fashion show happening show casing textiles from Japan. There was also a lot of fall themed spots that made it feel so beautiful. We also came across a sample sale for 3D printed clothes, which was cool to see. There are tons of restaurants as well. All in all this was a fun, cultural and historical trip that I definitely plan on taking again read more

Clean and cute Open to everyone It's more of chill spot Tons of places to eat and drink Easy access Parking lots and street parking available Kid friendly Eco-friendly Prices vary depending on what you're looking for Prices are similar to Manhattan prices than the area is used too Would definitely come back to try different restaurants and activities There's stuff for everyone and all ages I think this will bring more jobs and crowds to the area for sure. read more

For history buffs, Industry City represents one of the most important manufacturing sites of dating back to the last century. Formally known as the Bush Terminal, it became a focal point in Kings County and was repurposed for various ventures before its recent redevelopment in the last decade plus. Now in its current form of repurposed industrial space, it has become a dreamland for shoppers, eaters, and urbanites alike. Given its insular, almost campus like nature, it makes me think of what Kowloon's Walled City (#1) would be like if it were a sprawling, open space. Residents here include hundreds of small companies who have setup shop within its 16 buildings and a number of shops, eateries, green spaces, and numerous art installations. It's the kind of backdrop that would bring excitement to photographers and G'philes. On a food front, they've got a pretty good mix of restaurants, casual eateries, and specialty foods. Some of the food feels trendy (#2) but some of it is pretty legit (#3), but there is a good variety for just about everyone. In the past I was all about the Japan Village and the occasional Blue Marble Ice Cream after some Hometown BBQ. Prices are not exactly cheap, but hipsters be damned if they're to pay anything less than markup. Ultimately, Industry City is a cool place to explore and especially during this pandemic where being outside is ideal, then this place should certainly be near the top of the list. _____________ (#1) Today you learned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq4jAwPdCMw (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/avocaderia-brooklyn (#3) Bangkok Bar (https://www.yelp.com/biz/bangkok-bar-brooklyn-2) (#4) It is no Mitsuwa or Uwajimaya tho read more

Tried to the black garlic tonkotsu ramen, pork tonkatso and the mango pudding at Japan village. There is a food court and there are many food vendors to choose from. It can get crowded around lunch time and might take awhile to look for seats. Nice that you can get food and then go to sunrise mart which is across from the food hall. There is outside seating and you can walk around a bit and go into the next building to explore various shops and there are more food places. read more

Cool place to walk around! Check out stores on the second floor too! I stopped by a while back and drafted the review but forgot to post it. They had an ice rink when it was colder, although a bit pricey for an hour, and quite small... still fun for kids. Good area to explore different buildings and shops! read more

Industry city is like a little undiscovered gem in Brooklyn. Over the past few years, they've definitely tried to push out this location and the attractions here, however it hasn't gotten much of the foot traffic since this is kind of out of the way for a lot of people. You would have to have a car to really come here. But if you are ever in the area, I would suggest coming to check it out. They've had a few businesses here that actually went on shark tank and made deals with the sharks such as Table 87 (I love their charcoal ) and avocedria (also super good) They also recently opened up a little Japan village (food court and supermarket) which brought more people here. Definitely scone and check it out! read more

Absolutely love this place with so many stores and little unique boutique shops to browse. My staples here are daiso, sunrise market and the onigiri place right in front of sunrise market. Don't miss out on the giant rice balls filled with delicious ingredients. You could spend a whole day walking around between the multiple buildings. They even have special events every once in a while. read more

Wow. The onigiris here are so amazing. They are made fresh and hot and they are delishly filled to the top. Every bite comes with the filling. I ordered the spicy tuna onigri and I could not just get one it was delishious. We also got the miso onigiri and it was also pretty good. I didn't try their drinks however but they're bottled. The service is well they make onigiris every second and they are making them fresh, great service. The ambiance is just a stall but still nice and neat. read more

Industry city is definitely one of Brooklyn's "hidden gems" and a place that is on my "essential tourist" list for when friends and family visit the city. With its array of local businesses, it really feels like you're in a mall that's shaped by the residents of Brooklyn's tastes and not the tastes of big box retailers. There's locally owned book stores, restaurants, thrift stores, artist studios, home furnishing companies, and even an entire Japan themed wing of building 4. I highly recommend making industry city a stop on a visit to nyc or even a place for a local to go out of their way to explore. A few notes on why IC lost a star from 5 stars down to 4: - a lot of the stores here are prohibitively expensive. I've been here a few times where I've bought something in one store and have had to end my trip right then and there because my budget shot out from one purchase. It would be nice if some of the stores here were more accessible for more than just the most wealthy of us. I would love to be able to buy a few things and lunch/spend more time here than feel like I just came for one store and that's it. - not all the stores here validate parking. It's really a crap shoot on who gives you a stamp and who doesn't. And most of the stores don't even know it's an option. - the parking lot regularly fills up to capacity and you'll find yourself driving around for 10-30 minutes trying to find a spot. It would be great to be able to know if the lot is full or not before I get a ticket to go in. There are also no attendants at the gates so if you can't find a spot and have to leave. You have to pay 15-20 dollars for the privilege of not being able to park. This has made me opt to take the train more often than not. read more

Amazing place to hang out with friends and family. Lots of fun things to do here for all ages. Plenty of places to eat and or drink. Galleries and sometimes if you go during certain seasons you might be lucky to find beautiful decor and fun stuff to do. You can also get to preview some really vintage clothes. The only downside is the parking sometimes is very hard to find around here, especially weekends when you only allow for 45 minutes on some part of the street. read more

I wouldn't go out of my way to visit Industry City. Originally I was drawn here by the Japanese market and figured I would check out some of the shops in this complex. Although the complex pretty much encompasses three big buildings this place couldn't be any more confusing. Theres no flow to this place with shops placed here and there outside of the food court. Most of the shops close around 6 which is kinda early. Is this place really meant to be enjoyed by the people that work in the business on the floors above all the shops? Because besides those who work here there's really no reason for anyone else to come here. In short Industry City is basically a food court with a few random stores no one really needs especially those who live in the area. Parking is difficult here if you're looking for free street parking but there is a paid lot. Next! read more

Another part of Brooklyn rebranding itself. One a location for industrial buildings built expressly for manufacturing and warehousing has brought an onslaught of cafes, boutiques and bars. It's not quite at the point where you would say let's hit industry city for a night on the town but it has a handful of appeals. Parking on the weekend is a piece of cake, during the week a disaster. I conduct business in the area and parking is difficult to find. There is a large parking lot on 2nd Avenue but many times it is sold out. If you are interested in checking out some of the festivals I urge you to do so, there are a handful of cool things to see not to mention the gorgeous views from the waterside. Gone are the days of homeless sleeping under the bqe and a group of hoods hanging out in front of the foxy den.... read more

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

I like Industry City - somewhat - and I've enjoyed watching it evolve and expand over the past few years. That said, I think it hasn't reached its full potential as an A+ tourist destination or date spot. As far as I can tell, the complex consists of several old warehouses that have been refurbished into shops and restaurants. This means that Industry City has a cool industrial aesthetic and great atmosphere. There are nice little green spaces between the buildings, too, where you can relax or catch live music sometimes. On the downside, the interiors of some buildings are practically labyrinths, and it can be hard to tell where you need to go. Sure, there are signs everywhere pointing in a dozen directions, but are they actually useful? There are so many floors, nooks, and crannies to each building, I wonder if it's even possible to make a sensible directory. Then there's a harder to define problem. The stores are very... shall we say... hipster-ish? For example, there's a blacksmith shop - for all those times when you really need to forge a sword, right? And a Museum of Morbid Anatomy, if you really want to look at gross stuff. And a bookstore that only has liberal books, which always disappoints me even though I'm liberal. (What if I want a nice juicy mystery instead?) Then there's multiple "Made in NY / Brooklyn" stores with local crafty souvenirs that cost $10-$20 more than they should. I protest too much, of course. All of this stuff is pretty cool. It's just pitched a little wrong for me, personally. I mean, I love the Japanese grocery store and the manga shop is pretty cool. But what if I want to buy a Kurosawa movie on 4k, or a Murakami book? I've never seen that kind of stuff here. (I guess because hipsters don't like it, ha. Or perhaps I just missed it because the directory stinks.) As they continue to expand Industry City, I would humbly suggest a few less ... ahem ... weird stores. Not everything needs to be so aggressively eccentric. If they ever achieve the right balance, I will give this place the 4-5 stars it probably deserves. As it is now, Industry City is kind of cool, somewhat pricey, a bit bizarre, and only sort-of worth the trip. read more

This sprawling complex is one of Brooklyn's best kept secrets, full of cool businesses, distilleries, factories, and eateries. It is one of the best places for a group hangout, as there is plenty of spacious outdoor seating and something for every predilection, no matter how wide ranging the dietary restrictions and palates in your group are. If you've been responsible throughout the pandemic and keeping your socializing to the outdoors, you've probably run into the dilemma of finding a bathroom. Not an issue here, as there are several restrooms open to the public throughout the complex, so you can have a worry free multi-hour long hangout, at least as far as your bladder is concerned. If you couldn't tell, I could really wax poetic about all that IC has to offer an intrepid foodie. If you like sake, Brooklyn Kura's taproom has you covered. Barrow's Intense makes great frozen ginger liqueur beverages, while Oldies whips up fancy, Japanese inspired cocktails. Food-wise, you have an entire Japanese food court replete with a ramen stand, a takoyaki station, Japanese curry and onigiri galore. Grocery shopping? Between Sahadi's and Sunrise Mart, you'll be able to get all your produce and specialty food items. Thai food lovers won't be able to walk past Bangkok Bar without stopping to inhale the smokey wok aromas of their stir frys, and you can even take your food and eat it in their cute little yurt outside. Not a bad option for when it's raining outside. I recently ducked into the yurt during a downpour and stayed dry. Be sure to check their event calendar while you plan your visit. They often have live jazz and other instrumental bands, outdoor movie screenings, petanque, and the occasional oyster cart. I'm lamenting the end of summer because it also means the end of my go-to place for outdoor hangs. I suspect I will be braving the lower temperatures much later into the season than normal, and Industry City will make it much easier to do so. read more

This place definitely has lots of potential, but it there are part it does lack. Industry City is made of multiple buildings with lots of small businesses inside each building. One of the buildings have a lounge area with billiards and a place to hang out. Their most recent section is the Japan Village which is currently in a soft opening phase. This section is still very new and does need some tweaking to make it better. Hopefully it will improve once the other sections open up. I have noticed that some of the vendors within charge a little high for their food and can discourage some visitors since there are a lot of other options you can just take a subway ride to that are better. There are some cool murals on some of the buildings and there is rotating art installations as well. read more

As someone who used to come to Brooklyn often by car with my parents, I remembered passing by on the BQE to the Brooklyn Chinatown in Borough Park. Lately, I have seen proof of gentrification.

Very interesting space. It has a lot of dining choices, we had excellent tacos. There are outdoor spaces and activities for children, plenty of dog walkers, venue events going on, craft beverages from beer to sake. There are high end home furnishing stores in the complex, but also some interesting vintage and eclectic shops, plus a Petco and a Costco. A pleasant place to have lunch and walk around in the nice weather. read more

Sunday, 9/13 I walked over here to Industry City to check out Japan Village with fellow yelper Mei C. We had finished brunch at Yafa Cafe (see review there) and decided to stroll over. She had never been inside to Japan Village but has been around Industry City. We decided to see how it looks during covid and see what is open. It was early when we arrived (12pm) and we shopped at Sunrise for some snacks. There were people out also enjoying the breeze and sights. Some families were there near the middle of the courtyard. I explained that last year I saw pumpkin displays for autumn and that maybe she can return with her daughter for some photo shoot then. It is a very nice open space for people to enjoy walking around a some table/seating area to relax. read more

This will be a review of Industry City (IC) as a whole rather than the specific businesses that I visited. I stopped by IC to pick up my bib materials for NYCRuns (Less Popular) Brooklyn Half Marathon. I was quite surprised in a good way that IC has plenty of bars/"drinkeries", courtyards, shops, food courts, and retail spaces. Honestly, I was not expecting so many venues. It's kind of interested that most of these venues are spread over multiple buildings. I guess that I great way to keep folks engaged and exploring IC. Unfortunately, during my visit on a weekday, a lot of venues were closed so I did not have an opportunity to explore as much as I wanted. Aside from the half and full marathon runners, the place was pretty dead. Perhaps, more of these venues are open during the weekend. While I had a decent experience, I do not think I would make the trek out to IC unless I had a very strong reason to do so. That said, it's probably a jewel for the folks who live in the surrounding neighborhoods. read more

A very cool place with a bunch of different shops, bars and food establishments. My friend and I were there around 5p on a Saturday, and shockingly all of the food places closed at 5! We were lucky to be the last ones into a food place to order, as they closed behind us. Just didn't make sense how they would all close at 5p on a Saturday, and there were a lot of people there. read more

(3.5 stars) Industry City has a lot of potential to become a great summer spot, but it still has some growing to do. Industry City is a large complex comprised of multiple buildings and courtyards filled with restaurants and retail shops. As other Yelpers have mentioned, it is a bit confusing to navigate the various buildings. There are painted signs on the walls and near the entrances of each building but it would be much easier if there were posted maps and virtual maps available. There are quite a few bathrooms sprinkled throughout the buildings, but they're not super clean. There are plenty of outdoor courtyards to sit, eat, and hang out. The art throughout the complex is great! The retail shops are fairly high-end--quite expensive and boutique. Not much foot traffic in any of the stores. The restaurants are decently priced, and there is a good variety of food and drinks available including Japanese, Mediterranean, burgers, tacos, and a brewery. Japan Village and Sahadi's were the busiest food destinations when we visited on a Sunday afternoon. read more

I was in the area so I thought why not. This is the type of place I wouldn't make a special trip to visit. I wanted to see Japan Village. Very small. Nice places to eat. Lovely little courtyard. There are a couple of higher end furniture places. I was there on a Saturday at 11 am. Found street parking about 2 blocks away. There is a parking lot right across from Industry City that charges $20 for all day and $15 for a couple of hours. It had a little grocery store that sold waygu beef and sushi grade salmon and tuna. I purchased a bento box which was worth the $14 I paid. It had a large piece of teriyaki salmon. read more

Area has potential but it's not quite there yet. There's a few restaurants here and some stores, and creative space upstairs that's closed to the public if nothing is going on. There is street parking and parking in the validated lot if you buy stuff some certain stores. Initially when you walk in, you feel so cool, modern, hip, and old school all in the same movement. There are some cool art installations and wall paper as you walk through the corridors. But first impression wear off and there's really nothing much going on other than the Flea market on weekends. I would come back when there's more stores or events here, but it's kinda cool part of Brooklyn to visit if you're on your way to Costco or some of the garages nearby. read more

Industry city is one of the coolest places I've visited. They have a lot of interactive art displays around their buildings. There is also an eclectic amount of food places to choose from.

There is a total of 7 different buildings that you can walk right through and see the different shops they host. Overall I really enjoyed the ambiance and would visit again. read more

I really like Industry City! My office in Brooklyn is just next door, so it's great to have this spot to walk over to for lunch. There are lots of different options here, including Indian, pizza, sandwiches, desserts, and so much more. If you're looking for a quick easy spot to grab some food, Industry City is definitely a great place for it! It's also a nice spot just to walk around and explore. There's lots of public art throughout the space, and I really enjoyed looking around. It's really large, so you can definitely spend some time here if you have it. But, it's really easy to navigate too, so if you're looking to quickly pick something up and get out that's also an option. If you find yourself in this area, I think you should definitely check out Industry City! read more

This is actually rated as 3.5 stars but they have such cute installations from time to time so rounding up. It does get confusing as to getting around but eventually you get used to it. The place is kept pretty clean and there's tons of ample seating outside, especially going through the market and food court. Today's focus is on the bar based next to the market. The lady attending the bar was pretty helpful but not entirely knowledgeable of the drinks available. She did give suggestions as to which ones other customers have tried and liked. The kitaya sparkling sake wasn't as sweet as she described, but I thought it was just right. I could probably down bottles of these as it goes down quite smooth. I do wish they gave a bucket of ice or something to keep the sake chilled, as it began to fall flat when it got to room temperature. They also didn't have half of their drink menu available since they were out, so choices were limited. But it's pretty chill here and you're able to hear each other even though we're surrounded by other establishments and the market itself. I'd probably want to try out their bar the next time I come here. read more

As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I always find it fun and interesting to wander over here to see what's new (because something is always new -- Japan Village is a great/relatively new addition, as is the Frying Pan, Sahadi's will be opening soon, etc.) and pick up some chocolate at Li-Lac. I do think that if one were to come visit IC from any meaningful distance and without doing a fair share of research/checking business hours ahead of time (especially on a weekend or after work), they might be a little confused and/or disappointed. It's a bit of a ghost town during the evening hours since a lot of the businesses (ex: the food hall) are catering primarily to the artists/commuters who work here from 9-5 and don't stay open much later than that. The public courtyards are beautiful at any hour though, if you're just sort of looking to explore. So definitely worth a visit but be sure to plan around when places are open/don't assume anything and look for schedules of events (live music, etc.) rather than just rolling the dice before trekking down. read more

Loved this place! Came here for dinner and a concert. It was such a cool place. It's in a super shady area, and I wouldn't take the train here. But, it was a great place to see a show. I also loved the pizza and ambiance INSIDE Industry City. When I was here (which wasn't too late), I got here early for a show, all of the stores were closed. That was sort of sad. It looks like there are some great shops here. I don't know if I'd go back, because IC is so out of the way. read more
