What is the capacity of Superior Ingredients?
The venue can hold roughly 1,000 people indoors in The Room, plus about 800 on the rooftop (www.thegroovement.co). This makes it one of Williamsburg’s larger dance venues. The two spaces combined are roughly 20,000 square feet in all (grayarea.co).
Where and how can I buy tickets?
Tickets are sold in advance through the club’s official platforms (usually online sales). It’s recommended to purchase early for popular DJs, since shows often sell out. The box office (door) may sell remaining tickets on event day if available. VIP tables and bottle service require direct booking with the venue.
Are walk-up tickets available at the door?
Sometimes. If an event is not sold out online, a limited number of tickets are often available at the door. However, for big-name acts you should not rely on walk-up sales. Arrive early on event night to try your luck if you need door tickets.
What is the address of Superior Ingredients?
Superior Ingredients is located at 74 Wythe Avenue in Brooklyn (Williamsburg), NY 11249. It sits at Wythe Ave & North 12th Street along the East River.
What subway or bus lines serve the venue?
The closest subway is the **L train** at Bedford Avenue – from there, it’s about a 5- to 10-minute walk west toward the river. You can also take buses (M train lines) to Bedford/North 6th or Kent Avenue. Taxis and rideshares are also common; drop-offs are easiest at Wythe & N 12th Street.
Is there parking available near Superior Ingredients?
Street parking in Williamsburg is scarce. There are private parking garages and lots within a few blocks (for example, on North 7th St), but they are usually expensive ($10–$20+ per evening). Most guests prefer to use public transit or rideshare due to the limited and costly parking.
Is Superior Ingredients wheelchair accessible?
Yes. The club has an elevator to reach the mezzanine and rooftop levels, and main entrances are ground-level. The asphalt dance floor is accessible. An ADA restroom is available. Do note there’s no special elevated “seating” platform; wheelchair users can stand on the main floor or roof like other guests. It’s best to call ahead so staff can assist.
Are there VIP tables or reserved seating areas?
Yes. In The Room there are limited VIP/bottle-service tables along the mezzanine and sides; these must be booked in advance online. On the roof, lounge seating is mostly first-come, first-served (though special events sometimes reserve sections). Generally, the venue is mostly general admission standing – so “best seats” tend to be high-top tables you claim early in the event.
Can I sit anywhere for a concert? Are there seats to avoid?
Most of the club is open dance floor. If you prefer to sit, the rooftop lounge has sofas and chairs (arrive early and someone will let you know if space opens up). In The Room, avoid obstructed views – e.g. behind the DJ or speakers, and the very corners where sightlines can be tight. The mezzanine bar area has stools at the counter if you need a seat. Overall, mid-floor or rear of The Room gives a full view without being in the crush, and the perimeter of the roof offers view and seating.
What is the dress code at Superior Ingredients?
There is no formal dress code, but most guests dress trendy or club-casual. Nice jeans, blouses or button-downs, and fashionable shoes are common. (Avoid athletic caps or overly casual gear if you want smoother entry.) In winter, remember it can get cold outdoors, so a jacket is handy. The club focuses on music and vibe over strict attire rules.
What items are not allowed inside?
Security checks at the door mean no large backpacks, no outside alcohol/food, and no illegal substances. Large props, selfie sticks, weapons, or professional cameras are also prohibited. Small purses and phone must fit through scanners. The general rule is to carry only essentials (ID, wallet, phone, keys). If in doubt, it can be safer to leave extra items at home or in the car.
Is smoking allowed in the club?
Indoor smoking is not allowed (per NYC law). However, on the rooftop deck (which is open-air), lighting up is generally tolerated. Note that in very cold weather the roof closes, and then smoking isn’t permitted inside. Tobacco, vaping, or cannabis should only be used outside on the street or on the open sections of the roof when it’s uncovered.
Does the venue have Wi-Fi or phone charging?
No, there is no guest Wi-Fi service available (www.thegroovement.co). Cell service may also be spotty inside. If you need internet or phone charging, plan ahead before you arrive. Most people rely on mobile data or use the waiting time in line to sync with Wi-Fi outside. (Some nearby restaurants/hotels offer power banks for sale or charging stations.)
Can I bring my phone or camera into the venue?
Yes, personal smartphones for photos are generally allowed and many patrons share pictures online. Professional cameras or lenses are usually not allowed unless by special arrangement. Remember that with no Wi-Fi, pictures will save to your device for later posting. Selfie sticks are not permitted due to space. The club atmosphere is social-media friendly, but be respectful of others’ privacy and don’t block pathways for long photo sessions.
What are the drink and food options inside Superior Ingredients?
The venue has a full bar in all areas (beer, wine, spirits, cocktails), and servers circulate throughout the crowd. There is **no kitchen** or food menu. Ranch areas may have small bar snacks or candy, but do not expect real meals. In short, come having eaten or plan to dine after. Water and non-alcoholic drinks are sold at the bar; feel free to ask for tap water as needed. Credit cards are accepted at the bar (www.thegroovement.co).
Are children or minors allowed in the venue?
No. The atmosphere is designed for adult nightlife. All official events require an ID check and are 21+ (or sometimes 18+) and children are not admitted. Superior Ingredients does not host any general family-friendly shows. Plan childcare or sitter arrangements in advance – they will only issue refunds on tickets if the age requirement was stated and you cannot comply.
What is the difference between "The Roof" and "The Room"?
These are the venue’s two main spaces (www.si-bk.com). **The Roof** is the outdoor (and partly covered) upper deck with views – it has a more relaxed, summer-night vibe. **The Room** is the indoor, split-level dance floor and stage with a darker club atmosphere. Shows will specify which space they use: some parties start on The Roof at sunset and continue in The Room later, while others stay in one area. (Either way, one ticket usually covers the event as explained on the lineup.)
Why is it called Superior Ingredients?
The name comes from history. The building was originally a 1929 spice blending factory named Superior Ingredients (www.74wythe.com). When reopening the club, the owners kept that name as a tribute to the location’s past. Inside entry halls still feature mosaic tiles referencing the factory branding.
How late are shows or parties?
Superior Ingredients events typically run late into the night. For most weekend nights, doors open around 9–10pm and music goes on until 3–4am. New Year’s Eve parties can run even later (Output’s historic final show went 10pm–8am (www.brooklynpaper.com)). Always check your ticket: end times may vary, but 4am is a common closing time due to NYC club operating rules.
Is the rooftop open year-round?
Yes. Because the rooftop has a retractable glass canopy and walls (www.74wythe.com), events can continue even in colder weather. In bad weather or winter, the roof fully closes to keep everyone dry and warm. However, the vibe changes: in winter the rooftop feels more like a glassed lounge, while in summer it’s open-air nightlife. So expect The Roof to be active in all seasons.
