Bogart House

Brooklyn

Events and Programming

230 Bogart St is the address of Bogart House, an active, independently operated event venue in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It is not a conventional concert hall with a fixed weekly calendar. Outside promoters rent its second floor, third-floor loft and rooftop penthouse for individual events, so the programming changes significantly from weekend to weekend. The most consistent public offering is electronic dance music, especially house, deep house, Afro house, tech house, techno and progressive sounds. Concerts, fashion presentations, tastings, social events, weddings, fundraisers and private celebrations complete the calendar.

Recent programming shows a clear pattern. In 2021, reopening-era events included Housepitality’s rooftop day party, a multi-DJ Bogart House Session, progressive house and melodic techno from Rick Pier O’Neil and local artists, and an ebb + flow sunset event headlined by Tim Green. In 2022, Signal combined Brooklyn house DJs, live mural work and visual projections, while a major dance-music publication held its New York anniversary finale here with Ciel, DJ Voices, Titonton Duvante and other selectors.

The 2023 and 2024 calendars expanded that formula. Notable bookings included South African Afro-house artist MÖRDA, house and tech-house launches, the Sophiepalooza fundraiser, a multimedia hyperpop-and-bass birthday rave, daytime rooftop sessions, ebb + flow’s Independence Day gathering and an appearance by deep-house producer Markus Homm. The Brooklyn Rum Festival also became associated with the space, using its indoor and outdoor areas for tastings, food and music.

Programming in 2025 included synthwave and post-punk from Andi Harriman, sunset-oriented rooftop parties, Afro-house sets by Gaeb & Mejias, an independent New York Fashion Week runway and afterparty, themed nightlife such as Gotham After Dark, queer Latin dance programming, and community pop-ups. These bookings demonstrate that Bogart House favors experiential events where music, fashion, visual design and social interaction share equal importance.

The documented 2026 program has continued with house and dubstep concerts, Afro-house rooftop sessions, Opulent Temple’s costume-oriented Sacred Dance, Coffee & Chill’s community anniversary, Soulfecta’s House in the Park celebration, Masaki Morii’s House of Vibes, queer community parties, R&B nights and the Brooklyn Rum Festival. Published announcements extended into Labor Day weekend at the time of research, but no dependable public 2027 calendar had been released.

Most public nightlife events are 21 and older and run for four to six hours. Day parties commonly begin in the afternoon or around sunset, while club nights usually start between 9 and 11 p.m. and may continue until 3 or 4 a.m. Representative advance prices from 2021 through 2026 fall around $15 to $40, with occasional lower early-entry tickets. Special tastings, fashion events and production-heavy parties may cost more.

Tickets and Booking

Public-event tickets are normally released by the individual promoter rather than through a permanent Bogart House box office. Use the live event listing accompanying this guide or the organizer’s authorized checkout. Confirm that the listing names Bogart House, 230 Bogart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206; similarly named venues in other cities can create confusing search results.

For popular rooftop parties, Pride events, holiday weekends and limited-capacity DJ bookings, buying in advance is safest. Promoters often sell several tiers, beginning with discounted early admission and increasing as the event approaches. Door sales are sometimes offered but are never guaranteed. Some organizers explicitly prohibit door sales, while others advertise pay-at-the-door entry. Refund, transfer and re-entry rules belong to the individual event and commonly differ from Bogart House’s private-rental policies.

There is no verified daily walk-up box office schedule. Guest-list admission, VIP tables, timed tasting sessions and fashion-show entry should be treated as separate products when offered. Read the ticket description closely: access may cover only the third floor, only the penthouse, or a multi-room event using several levels.

About 230 Bogart St

Bogart House occupies the upper levels of a repurposed industrial building near Bogart and Ten Eyck streets. The venue describes itself as a flexible East Williamsburg event space, although many New Yorkers identify this warehouse district with Bushwick. Its defining combination is a bright loft, outdoor terrace, rooftop skyline views and club-quality sound in a room small enough to feel intimate.

The address had an established recreational identity before Bogart House became a prominent event venue. A parkour gym opened quietly in the building around 2012 and continues today as Brooklyn Zoo NY. Bogart House was presenting public events by early 2017, including Peggy Gou’s New York City debut that February. City and state licensing records from that year identify Bogart House on the third floor and rooftop, confirming the venue’s transition into a licensed catering and live-event operation.

Current licensing materials cover the second floor, third floor and rooftop for catering, private events and live music. The continued renewal activity in 2026 confirms that Bogart House remains open and trading under the same name. A venue directory records a renovation in 2023, and current promotional material presents the second floor as an additional configurable production space.

Seating and Layout

The principal third-floor room is a 3,000-square-foot industrial loft with a stated standing capacity of 300. A rolling glass garage door opens to an approximately 800-square-foot terrace. The venue’s general capacity guidance is 300 standing or about 160 seated, although dinner tables, staging, bars, production equipment and dance-floor size can reduce usable attendance.

Most concerts and DJ parties are general admission and standing. The best position for focused listening is usually within the main room, centered in front of the DJ or performance area without standing directly beside a speaker stack. The terrace and rooftop are better for conversation, skyline views and breaks from the dance floor. For sunset events, arrive early enough to secure outdoor space before the room fills.

The penthouse combines indoor and outdoor areas with broad views of Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. Published capacities differ because some figures count only the indoor room and others include terraces; third-party listings generally place it around 75 seated and 100 to 125 standing. Treat the event’s own capacity and floor assignment as authoritative. There is no permanent auditorium seating chart or numbered-seat system.

Getting There and Parking

Bogart House is at 230 Bogart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206. The closest subway is Grand Street on the L line, at Grand Street and Bushwick Avenue, roughly two blocks from the venue. From the station, walk toward Waterbury Street, turn onto Ten Eyck Street and continue to Bogart Street. Grand Street has been upgraded as a fully accessible station, making it the most practical transit option for many visitors with mobility needs.

The Q59 bus serves Grand Street at Bushwick Avenue and Waterbury Street, providing connections through Williamsburg and toward Queens. The L train offers direct service from Union Square, 14th Street and Bedford Avenue, although overnight maintenance can alter service. Allow extra time and check live transit conditions before late-night events.

There is no on-site parking garage. The venue reports that street parking is often easier after 5 p.m. and during weekends, but availability is not guaranteed. Read every curb sign, including alternate-side, loading-zone and no-standing restrictions; New York City treats illegally parked vehicles as subject to towing. No consistently available paid lot has been verified at the building.

Rideshare vehicles usually use Bogart Street, Ten Eyck Street or the nearest safe legal stopping point. Large events can produce congestion immediately outside the entrance, so follow staff directions and avoid waiting in a travel lane. Cyclists should use a securely locked bicycle and should not assume indoor bike storage is available.

Inside the Venue

Entry procedures depend on the promoter. Expect an ID check for age-restricted events, electronic ticket scanning and possible bag inspection. Door and set times are not standardized. Many nightlife events have a staffed coat check, but availability and price should be confirmed for the particular night. Merchandise tables, art vendors and brand displays appear at some events rather than as permanent facilities.

The third floor has a Funktion-One sound system, plus Pioneer and Allen & Heath DJ equipment. Rooftop sound is supplied through separate powered speakers. The room includes ceiling lighting and uplighting, while an LED dance floor and expanded lighting package may be added. Video equipment, Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, heat and production support are available. Events using the house sound system are expected to arrange a sound check in advance.

There are five restrooms on the third floor and four on the rooftop. Published production specifications identify an accessible restroom on each of those levels, along with elevator access. Restrooms on a floor not included in an event’s rental may remain closed. A full kitchen, commercial cooking equipment and rooftop grill can support catered events, but public parties do not automatically include food.

Alcohol is served through Bogart House’s licensed bar operation; outside alcohol is prohibited. Bar format varies among cash bars, ticketed tastings, hosted packages and promoter specials. Recent visitors commonly praise the open dance space, quick bar service, cleanliness, skyline views and attentive staff. Occasional criticisms mention heat during crowded summer gatherings, costly drinks or feeling hurried at the scheduled end of an event.

Nearby Amenities

The surrounding warehouse district has several useful pre-show options. Roberta’s at 261 Moore Street serves pizza and full meals; Eyval at 25 Bogart Street specializes in contemporary Iranian cooking; and Syndicated at 40 Bogart Street combines a restaurant, bar and movie theater. These businesses are popular, so allow time for a table before a Friday or Saturday event.

Late-night food is less predictable immediately beside the venue. Delis, pizza counters and restaurants closer to Graham Avenue, Metropolitan Avenue and the busier sections of Bushwick offer more choices after midnight. For lodging, the broadest selection is in central Williamsburg, where hotels near the L train provide a straightforward subway or rideshare trip. There is no hotel attached to Bogart House.

What Makes This Venue Special

Bogart House succeeds because it operates as a blank canvas rather than imposing one house style. Large windows on three sides fill the loft with daylight, while the industrial proportions, white interior, terrace and panoramic roof can be reshaped for dinner, dancing, fashion, visual art or ceremonies. The transformation from sunlit afternoon gathering to enclosed late-night club is central to its appeal.

Its cultural value lies in the range of communities able to use the building. Independent dance promoters have staged international and local DJ lineups; queer organizers have created social and Pride events; fashion designers have presented runway collections; nonprofits have held fundraisers; and Tiny Rave uses the venue for recurring family dance sessions. The coexistence of Bogart House and Brooklyn Zoo NY also keeps performance, movement and youth recreation under one address.

That variety produces a local economic effect beyond admission sales. Events employ bartenders, security staff, technicians, caterers, photographers, performers and independent vendors while sending visitors to nearby restaurants and transportation services. This impact is distributed among many small organizers rather than driven by a single resident promoter—an inference supported by the venue’s rental model and unusually varied calendar.

Visitor Tips and Information

Arrive 30 to 45 minutes before a popular event if seeing the opening performance, sunset or fashion presentation matters to you. Bring government-issued photo ID and the ticket saved on your phone. Rooftop temperatures can differ sharply from the indoor room, so carry a light layer even during summer. Comfortable shoes are sensible for standing events and movement between floors.

Age restrictions vary, although late-night electronic events are usually 21 and older. There is no general venue dress code; themed parties may request costumes, expressive clothing, white attire or elevated evening wear. Follow the event description rather than assuming standard clubwear. Photography rules also vary, particularly for fashion shows, private celebrations and promoters seeking a phone-free dance floor.

Venue rules prohibit confetti, fireworks, pyrotechnics and candles with exposed flames. Decorations cannot be attached using nails, adhesives, tape or wires. Smoking is permitted only in designated rooftop areas; indoor smoking and vaping may result in removal. Outside alcohol is not allowed, and items brought into a private rental must be removed by the contracted end time.

Guests requiring step-free entry, accessible restroom access, seating or other accommodations should confirm which floors their event is using. Elevator access and accessible facilities are documented, but the flexible layout means routes can change with staging and security positions. Service needs are best communicated before arrival rather than at a crowded door.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bogart House at 230 Bogart St still open?

Yes. Bogart House remains active at 230 Bogart Street as of August 2026. Its current materials advertise ticketed events, private celebrations, weddings and corporate rentals, while 2026 licensing records cover the second floor, third floor and rooftop. Because it is primarily an event-rental venue, an empty public calendar on a particular week does not mean that it has closed.

Is 230 Bogart St in Williamsburg or Bushwick?

The venue describes its location as East Williamsburg, close to the Bushwick boundary. Many promoters and visitors casually call the area Bushwick because of its industrial buildings, arts spaces and proximity to the neighborhood’s better-known nightlife district. Both descriptions may appear on event listings, but they refer to the same venue at 230 Bogart Street in ZIP code 11206.

Does Bogart House have a permanent box office?

No regular daily box office schedule has been published. Tickets for public events are generally handled by the promoter through an authorized advance checkout. If an event offers door admission, the organizer normally says so in its listing. Do not travel to the building on a non-event day expecting to purchase tickets for a future show from venue staff.

Can I buy Bogart House tickets at the door?

Sometimes, but it depends entirely on the event. Certain promoters offer a fixed door price, while others sell no tickets after online inventory is gone. Rooftop parties and limited-capacity community events can sell out even when the building looks relatively small from the street. Advance purchase is the safest option, particularly on holiday and Pride weekends.

Are all events at 230 Bogart St restricted to ages 21 and older?

No. Most late-night dance parties are 21 and older because alcohol is served, but the building also hosts weddings, daytime community gatherings, family dance sessions and occasional 18-and-older events. The ticket’s stated age restriction controls admission. Adults attending an age-restricted event should carry valid government-issued photo identification, even if they have already purchased a ticket.

Is the nearest subway station wheelchair accessible?

Yes. Grand Street on the L line is now listed as a fully accessible subway station. It is approximately two blocks from Bogart House. Elevator outages can still occur, so riders who depend on step-free access should check live conditions before departing. The short route between the station and venue uses ordinary city sidewalks and street crossings.

Does Bogart House have an elevator?

Published production specifications identify elevator access to the venue’s upper event levels. Accessible restroom facilities are also listed on the third floor and rooftop. Because a promoter may rent only one part of the building or position security equipment along a particular route, guests needing step-free entry should request the exact entrance and elevator procedure before their event.

How many restrooms are inside Bogart House?

The venue reports five restrooms on the third floor and four on the rooftop. Access depends on which floors have been rented: guests cannot necessarily use rooftop facilities during a third-floor-only event. Production listings identify one accessible restroom on each of those levels. Lines are generally shortest early in the event or while a headline set is beginning.

Is the rooftop open during every event?

No. Rooftop access depends on the organizer’s rental, production plan, capacity and weather conditions. Some listings specifically advertise the penthouse or rooftop; others use only the third-floor loft and terrace. Never assume a general-admission ticket includes every level. Staff may also temporarily restrict outdoor areas because of rain, wind, maintenance or crowd management.

What happens if it rains during a rooftop event?

Bogart House has both indoor and outdoor space, allowing many events to continue in wet weather, but the organizer decides whether programming moves inside, runs with reduced capacity or changes format. The rooftop itself may close during unsafe conditions. Unless the event’s terms provide otherwise, rain does not automatically produce a refund, especially when an indoor program remains available.

Is coat check available at 230 Bogart St?

Coat check is listed among the venue’s amenities and has been advertised for individual nightlife events. It may not operate at every daytime party, wedding or small private gathering. Bring a payment method and avoid oversized luggage, since storage capacity is limited. If coat check is essential during cold weather, verify its operation through the event information before leaving home.

Where can guests smoke or vape?

Smoking is allowed only in designated rooftop or outdoor areas when those spaces are open. Indoor smoking and vaping are prohibited. Past promoters have warned that guests caught smoking or vaping inside may be removed from the event. Follow current signs and staff instructions, since outdoor access can be limited by weather, floor rental or crowd-control requirements.

Can I bring outside food or alcohol?

Outside alcohol is prohibited, and all alcoholic service must go through Bogart House. Food arrangements vary. Public parties may bring in approved vendors or sell snacks, while private renters can generally choose caterers that meet the venue’s insurance and operating requirements. Do not assume personal food, glass containers, coolers or beverages will be accepted at a ticketed nightlife event.

What is the bag and camera policy?

Bogart House does not publish one universal bag or camera policy for every event. Security procedures are set according to the promoter and production. A small bag is easier to inspect and store than a backpack. Professional cameras, lighting equipment and recording gear should be approved in advance. Fashion, wedding and private events may enforce stricter photography rules than ordinary DJ parties.

Can I leave Bogart House and return later?

Do not count on re-entry. Several past nightlife listings specifically prohibited it, while private functions and daytime gatherings may use different rules. If you need medication, weather gear or another essential item, bring it through the initial security check rather than leaving it in a car. The promoter’s published terms and the door staff’s instructions determine whether re-entry is permitted.

Does the venue become hot or crowded during dance events?

The building has air-conditioning, but a full dance floor, summer humidity and open terrace doors can affect comfort. Some visitors have praised the open layout while noting warmth during busy social dances. Wear breathable clothing, drink water and use outdoor areas when permitted. Guests sensitive to loud sound should also bring high-fidelity earplugs for events using the Funktion-One system.

Does Bogart House host events for children and families?

Yes, although family events are separate from its late-night calendar. Tiny Rave presents recurring themed children’s dance sessions at Bogart House, and the venue has worked with Brooklyn Zoo NY on parties involving movement or parkour activities. Always use the age guidance for the specific event; ordinary DJ nights and bar service should not be assumed suitable for children.
