Brooklyn is getting a new concert venue called the Bell House. Owned by the same folks that run Union Hall and Floyd, this new joint is in Gowanus, will be at 149 7th Street between 2nd & 3rd Avenues.
The storefront features a comfortable 150 capacity lounge which will be open seven nights a week as a friendly neighborhood bar and gathering space featuring beer from independent and local breweries.
The live sound in the performance space has been outfitted with flying EAW speakers, 5 monitor mixes, an Allen & Heath console, and a gorgeous lighting set up with a Hog 500 controller. Capacity for the main space is 350 with an option of having seating for 200 plus standing room only on special occasions. Musicians and audience will be thrilled to find the same charm, hospitality, and professionalism that Union Hall has brought to Park Slope for the past 2 years.
Their first show is on September 18 and it’s free! Keep reading for the schedule so far:
