Brooklyn

Events and Programming

Scott Avenue is not one conventional venue with a single stage or calendar. In event listings, the name generally refers to a cluster of independent spaces near Randolph Street in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The core group includes The Chocolate Factory at 70 Scott Avenue, SILO at 90 Scott Avenue, Honey’s and 99 Scott around 93–99 Scott Avenue, and Brooklyn Roots Collective at 100 Scott Avenue. Always check the building name and street number on your ticket before traveling.

The district’s dominant sound is electronic music: house, techno, minimal, progressive house, Afro house, bass, trance, breakbeat and disco. However, its programming is broader than a typical nightclub district. Visitors also encounter live bands, hip-hop, R&B, community DJ showcases, queer parties, food events, vintage markets, screenings, workshops, private celebrations and sustainability-focused programs. Events range from intimate weekday sessions to all-night warehouse parties and multi-venue festivals.

The most significant recent development was the inaugural Sounds That Move festival in May 2026. It activated five Scott Avenue venues with more than 25 concerts, club nights, panels and workshops. The lineup combined emerging and established acts including Saba, Hope Tala, Mark William Lewis, Sango, Tyler ICU and DJ Habibeats. Organizers projected as many as 23,000 visits over the three-day event, although that figure was a pre-event estimate rather than a simultaneous site capacity.

From 2022 through 2025, 99 Scott became one of the block’s main destinations for promoter-led electronic events. Documented bookings included Circoloco afterparties, Battle Hymn, Marco Carola, Moodymann, Carl Craig, ANNA, Blond:ish, Enrico Sangiuliano, Chris Stussy, Cristoph, DJ Python, DJ Minx and extended or 360-degree sets. Its 2026 programming has continued to mix house and techno with day parties, live post-punk, global dance music and events such as Soul in the Horn.

SILO has maintained a denser weekly schedule since opening in 2023. Its opening period featured François K, Mike Servito, Justin Cudmore, Eli Escobar and WTCHCRFT. The club now combines ticketed weekend headliners with recurring open-deck nights, local collectives and occasional free-with-registration events. Its 2026 calendar demonstrates its range, moving among techno, house, trance, bass music, hip-hop and audiovisual performances by artists including Memba, Yheti, Nifra, Show Dem Camp, Caspa and Baauer.

Typical admission varies substantially. Small community events and open-deck sessions may be free or around $10. Standard club nights often fall near $25–$60 before fees, with higher prices for major headliners, late purchases or anytime-entry tiers. The 2026 Sounds That Move weekend wristband was offered in approximately the $160–$190 range. These examples describe the block’s pricing pattern rather than guaranteed future prices.

Tickets and Booking

Buy through the authorized checkout connected to the artist, promoter or venue event listing. Scott Avenue has no unified box office because each building and promoter controls its own inventory. Confirm the street number, age rule, entry deadline and room name; “99 Scott,” “Scott Avenue,” “The Chocolate Factory” and “SILO” are not interchangeable destinations.

Popular 99 Scott events frequently use timed-entry tiers, with cheaper tickets requiring arrival before a stated hour. Late arrival can mean paying the difference at the door or waiting until capacity becomes available. SILO generally sells a limited number of door tickets on a first-come basis, but sold-out nights should be booked in advance. Registration for a free event does not always guarantee admission.

For major electronic headliners, buy when the general sale begins and avoid relying on walk-up admission. Keep the ticket accessible on your phone before reaching the industrial block, where reception can vary by building and crowd size. For multi-venue festivals, a wristband may provide priority rather than absolute entry to every room; individual spaces still have legal capacity limits.

About Scott Avenue

The event district occupies an industrial edge between East Williamsburg and Bushwick, close to the Brooklyn–Queens boundary. Warehouses, fabrication businesses, food production and nightlife operate side by side. That setting gives events a raw, post-industrial character, but it also means truck traffic, uneven nighttime activity and fewer visitor services than in central Williamsburg.

99 Scott helped establish the block’s contemporary cultural identity. A temporary version of the Brooklyn Mirage operated there in 2015 before moving to its permanent complex. The warehouse was subsequently developed as 99 Scott, with architectural records dating the mixed-use event project to 2016. Honey’s also opened in 2016 as the tasting room and bar associated with a pioneering local mead producer.

SILO grew from Secret Loft, an underground party series launched in a converted Williamsburg auto garage in 2012. After a lengthy search, permitting process and construction period, the team opened its legal 500-person home at 90 Scott Avenue in February 2023. Brooklyn Roots Collective added another chapter in summer 2025, creating a sustainability-focused cultural complex with an urban farm, plant-based vendors, markets and performances.

Fine & Raw established its Scott Avenue chocolate factory and shop in 2012. The connected Chocolate Factory event space was later developed as a flexible venue, with published profiles noting a 2018 renovation. Today it hosts concerts, dance parties, conferences, screenings, immersive dinners, photography and brand productions while chocolate manufacturing continues next door.

Capacity, Seating and Layout

There is no meaningful overall “Scott Avenue capacity.” Each building has separate permits and configurations. Published 99 Scott specifications list approximately 12,325 square feet across the primary event areas, including a 4,625-square-foot Great Room and 7,000-square-foot courtyard. Each is commonly listed for about 900 standing or 400 seated guests, while combined reception layouts have been advertised for as many as 2,500. Music-event capacities may be lower.

99 Scott is a flexible, flat-floor venue rather than a theater. Most concerts are general admission, with temporary stages, bars, VIP sections and sound positions determined by the promoter. The roughly 20-foot ceilings, large industrial windows and exposed beams create an airy room. The courtyard supports outdoor stages and tented layouts, while InnerSpace offers a smaller room with prewar windows, exposed wood and a private courtyard.

SILO has a 500-person legal assembly capacity and can scale down for events of about 50. Its plan places a foyer and café or lounge at the front, a rear performance hall, and a large sliding gate that can connect or divide them. The DJ booth is usually on an eight-inch-high, eight-by-six-foot platform in the center of the floor, creating a 360-degree, eye-level experience.

The Chocolate Factory is a multilevel industrial space with a lobby or gallery, main hall, mezzanine, cyc studio and production areas. Rental profiles list approximately 8,250 square feet and a 700-person maximum, while 2026 City Council testimony from its operator described it as a 1,000-person venue. Treat 500–700 as the more conservative public-event range unless the event organizer publishes a different approved configuration.

For the clearest view at 99 Scott, stand several rows behind the sound position or use the less congested rear side of a 360-degree setup. At SILO, moving around the central booth can reveal more space behind the DJ. At The Chocolate Factory, the mezzanine can provide relief from the floor when open, although access is event-dependent. Avoid standing directly beside a main speaker stack without hearing protection.

Sound, Lighting and Production

SILO has the most fully documented permanent technical package on the block. Its main Danley system includes two high-output mains, dual main subwoofers extending to 22 Hz, rear fills, rear sub fills and dedicated DJ monitors. Four amplifiers provide 80,000 watts of total amplifier power. The inventory includes professional digital mixing, current club-standard players, turntables and several rotary, analog and digital DJ mixers.

Its lighting and video system includes 24 moving beam fixtures, stage washes, eight RGB lasers, blinders, pixel panels, long pixel-mapped LED strips, fog and haze. Projection equipment includes a 20,000-lumen laser projector for the stage wall, two short-throw side projectors and an additional front-room projector, driven by a dedicated visual workstation. Multichannel recording and 4K camera capture can also be arranged.

99 Scott permits rigging from five structural I-beams and has installed sound and lighting in its Main Space, including a full-scale lighting rig. Its courtyard can be covered by a 43-by-75-foot climate-controlled tent with installed lighting. Because many concerts are promoter productions, speaker placement, lasers, video walls and stage orientation can change significantly from one event to another.

Honey’s uses a custom sound system created by a local artist and a Paris-based audio engineer. The Chocolate Factory advertises in-house audiovisual support, projection mapping and flexible load-in through a large rolling gate. Visitor reports about Chocolate Factory acoustics are mixed, suggesting that sound quality depends heavily on the system, tuning and promoter operating that night.

Getting There and Parking

The core venues occupy Scott Avenue near Randolph Street, Brooklyn, NY 11237. The Jefferson Street station on the L subway line is generally the most convenient arrival point, about a five-to-eight-minute walk away. Exit toward Wyckoff Avenue, walk toward Flushing Avenue, and turn onto Scott Avenue. Morgan Avenue and DeKalb Avenue on the L are possible alternatives when service patterns make them more convenient.

The B57 bus along Flushing Avenue is useful from other parts of Brooklyn. Citi Bike docks are available in the surrounding neighborhood. During large festivals or street activations, organizers have recommended 233 Randolph Street as the rideshare and taxi drop-off point, keeping vehicles away from the busiest venue entrances.

No dependable venue-controlled public parking lot is confirmed for the district. Street parking is limited, and posted restrictions, loading zones and alternate-side cleaning rules must be observed. Nearby commercial garages are generally several blocks away; recent listings placed options roughly 0.3–0.9 miles from 99 Scott, with event parking commonly in the low double digits to $25 or more depending on duration and demand.

Driving is rarely the easiest choice on a major event night. Scott Avenue is narrow, industrial and shared with active businesses. If using rideshare after a late show, walk to Randolph Street or Flushing Avenue before requesting pickup; this usually reduces congestion and makes the driver easier to locate.

Inside the Venues

Expect ID inspection, ticket scanning and a security check. Most club events are 21 and older, although festival concerts and selected live shows may be 18 and older. Sounds That Move required identification at every participating venue and restricted events beginning after 11 p.m. to guests aged 21 or older. A physical, valid government-issued photo ID or passport is the safest choice.

SILO has a front bar, complimentary water, limited snacks, earplugs sold for about $2 and coat check for approximately $5 per item. A designated smoking area is reached through the side door near the stage. Re-entry is usually allowed, but exits can become final when a sold-out event reaches capacity. The club uses loud sound, strobes, lasers, fog and haze.

Food and drink arrangements elsewhere depend on the event. Honey’s serves house-produced wines and ciders, natural wine and cocktails, while its winery hosts dinners and chef pop-ups. Brooklyn Roots Collective emphasizes vegan food vendors and sustainably focused beverages. The Chocolate Factory is connected to an operating chocolate café, but nighttime food access varies. 99 Scott’s private and concert events may install temporary bars, catering or food service.

SILO asks guests not to use phones or take photographs on or around the dance floor; phone use should move to the bar or another area. Other Scott Avenue spaces may impose camera stickers, no-flash rules or promoter-specific restrictions. Professional cameras should never be assumed permissible without advance authorization.

Accessibility and Inclusive Facilities

SILO is a single-story venue with a step-free entrance. Its stage and public spaces are wheelchair accessible, and reserved seating can be arranged for guests who need it. The venue has gender-neutral restrooms and three accessible stalls: one in each front restroom and one behind the stage. Staff are trained to help with entry and positioning.

99 Scott is advertised as accessible throughout, with gender-neutral restrooms and flexible floor plans. The Chocolate Factory’s rental information identifies it as accessible, although detailed routes between its multiple levels are not publicly documented. Honey’s and Brooklyn Roots Collective do not publish equally comprehensive access guides, so guests needing a specific route, restroom configuration or seating accommodation should have arrangements confirmed before arrival.

Accessibility varies across the block and should not be inferred from a festival-wide label. Strobes, lasers, haze, intense bass and prolonged standing are common. Scott Avenue’s industrial sidewalks and crowded curb areas can also present challenges. A rideshare drop on Randolph Street may be more practical than traveling from the subway for some visitors.

Nearby Food, Drinks and Late-Night Options

Bunker, a Vietnamese restaurant at the 99 Scott complex with its entrance on Randolph Street, is the most convenient substantial pre-show meal. Honey’s works well for mead, natural wine or cocktails, while Brooklyn Roots Collective may have rotating plant-based food trucks during public programs. Jupiter Disco on Flushing Avenue is a compact late-night bar with DJs and cocktails.

Additional restaurants and bars cluster around Jefferson Street and farther west on Flushing Avenue. Roberta’s and the broader Bushwick restaurant district are roughly a 15-minute walk away. For dinner before a major show, allow at least 60–90 minutes and reserve where possible; the immediate block has fewer kitchens than its nightlife activity suggests. ticketfairy.com

There are no major full-service hotels directly on Scott Avenue. Visitors generally get a better combination of lodging and transportation by staying near an L train station in Williamsburg or another part of Bushwick, then using the subway or a short rideshare. Late at night, check subway service conditions before leaving the venue and keep a rideshare backup for service changes.

What Makes Scott Avenue Special

Scott Avenue compresses several different versions of Brooklyn culture into one industrial block: a polished event warehouse, an artist-led club, an urban meadery, a working chocolate factory, an aquaponics project and a plant-based cultural marketplace. That mix allows visitors to move between a rooftop garden, a 360-degree dance floor, an outdoor courtyard and a multilevel warehouse without leaving the immediate area.

The block has also served as an incubator. The Brooklyn Mirage began here as a temporary concept; Secret Loft evolved into SILO; Honey’s helped introduce contemporary dry mead to a wider New York audience; and Brooklyn Roots Collective connects nightlife with sustainable food systems and small vendors. Sounds That Move formalized that ecosystem by treating the street itself as festival grounds.

Its growth brings both benefits and pressures. Venue operators describe local employment, support for independent producers and increased foot traffic for neighborhood businesses. Community discussions have also raised recurring concerns about traffic, lighting, street conditions, noise and safe dispersal after late events. Scott Avenue’s significance lies partly in how visibly nightlife, manufacturing and neighborhood planning meet on the same block.

Visitor Tips and Information

Verify the number: Do not navigate using “Scott Avenue” alone. Confirm whether your event is at 70, 90, 93, 99 or 100 Scott Avenue.
Arrive before the deadline: Early-entry tickets can become invalid or require an upgrade after their stated cutoff.
Bring physical ID: Photographs, photocopies and expired IDs may be rejected.
Wear hearing protection: These are bass-forward warehouse and club environments, not seated listening rooms.
Dress for heat: Even in winter, a full dance floor can become warm. Use coat check where available.
Expect standing: Most public music events are general admission with little guaranteed seating.
Travel light: Bag rules vary by promoter, and large bags can slow security or be refused.
Plan the trip home: Save your destination and arrange a meeting point before entering a crowded venue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Scott Avenue one venue?

No. In concert and festival listings, Scott Avenue usually describes a Brooklyn venue district or festival ground. The principal spaces are The Chocolate Factory, SILO, Honey’s, 99 Scott and Brooklyn Roots Collective. They have separate entrances, capacities, calendars and rules, so the street number printed on the ticket is essential.

Where is Scott Avenue in New York City?

The event cluster is on Scott Avenue near Randolph Street in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn, close to Bushwick and the Queens boundary. Most destinations use ZIP code 11237. The relevant nightlife block is north of Flushing Avenue; it should not be confused with similarly named streets or venues elsewhere in New York City.

What kinds of events take place on Scott Avenue?

Programming includes house and techno parties, bass and trance shows, hip-hop and live concerts, queer dance events, markets, art installations, screenings, workshops, food pop-ups and private celebrations. SILO offers frequent club programming, while 99 Scott and The Chocolate Factory are more dependent on visiting promoters and large one-off productions.

How much do Scott Avenue tickets usually cost?

Free registrations and approximately $10 community events are possible, particularly for weekday showcases. Standard nightlife admission often falls between $25 and $60 before fees. Major headliners, anytime-entry upgrades and multi-day festivals cost more. Earlier timed-entry tiers are usually cheaper but require arrival before the printed deadline.

Can I buy tickets at the door?

It depends on the event. SILO normally offers some door admission on a first-come basis, while large 99 Scott and Chocolate Factory shows may sell out in advance. Door prices can be higher, and entry may pause when the room reaches capacity. For a specific headliner, advance purchase is the safer strategy.

What is the capacity of Scott Avenue?

The street has no combined public capacity. SILO holds 500. The Chocolate Factory commonly advertises up to 700, while some configurations have been described as larger. 99 Scott publishes capacities of about 900 for its main room or courtyard and up to 2,500 across combined reception areas. Actual concert limits may be lower.

Are Scott Avenue events seated or general admission?

Most concerts and dance events are standing, general-admission experiences. Chairs, lounge furniture, risers or VIP areas may be installed for individual productions, but there are no permanent numbered theater seats. Guests who require seating should request an accommodation in advance rather than assuming benches or couches will remain available.

Which Scott Avenue venue has the best sound system?

SILO has the most thoroughly documented permanent system, using Danley mains, deep subwoofers, rear fills and dedicated booth monitors. Honey’s also has a custom-built system. Sound at 99 Scott and The Chocolate Factory varies more because visiting promoters may change the speaker package, room orientation and tuning for each production.

What is the closest subway station?

Jefferson Street on the L line is normally the closest station, approximately five to eight minutes away on foot. Morgan Avenue and DeKalb Avenue are alternate L stations. Weekend and overnight service can change, so leave additional travel time and consider a bus or rideshare backup for the return journey.

Is parking available at the venues?

No dependable public venue lot is confirmed. Visitors generally rely on limited street spaces or commercial garages several blocks away. Posted loading zones, alternate-side cleaning and industrial access must be respected. Garage prices vary, but recent event-parking listings have generally ranged from the low double digits to $25 or more.

Where should rideshare drivers drop off and pick up?

For normal events, use the exact venue address unless street staff direct otherwise. During multi-venue festivals, 233 Randolph Street has been used as the recommended drop-off point. After a crowded show, walking to Randolph Street or Flushing Avenue before requesting a ride can help avoid blocked entrances and driver confusion.

Are Scott Avenue venues wheelchair accessible?

SILO provides step-free entry, wheelchair access to its public areas and stage, accessible stalls and advance reserved seating. 99 Scott is advertised as fully accessible, and The Chocolate Factory lists an accessible entrance. Because the venues are independent and some are multilevel, confirm event-specific routes and seating arrangements before traveling.

What are the age restrictions?

Many Scott Avenue club nights are strictly 21 and older. Selected concerts, daytime events and festivals may be 18 and older or open to broader audiences. At Sounds That Move, most programming was 18-plus, while events beginning after 11 p.m. required guests to be 21. Always follow the age printed on the individual ticket.

Is there a standard bag policy?

No block-wide bag policy exists. Security procedures are set by the venue and promoter, and bags may be searched. Large backpacks, professional camera cases and bulky work bags are most likely to cause delays or refusal. Bring only essentials and read the event confirmation carefully, especially if arriving directly from work or the airport.

Can I take photographs or videos?

Rules vary. SILO specifically discourages phone use and photography on or around its dance floor, asking guests to move to the bar or another area. Other events may permit casual phone photography, cover camera lenses with stickers or prohibit professional equipment. Flash, tripods and detachable-lens cameras should never be assumed acceptable.

Do the venues have coat check?

SILO has coat check for approximately $5 per item, payable by cash or card, although lines can grow on cold sold-out nights. Coat check at 99 Scott and other warehouses depends on the production. If a winter event does not explicitly confirm the service, wear layers that can be tied or carried comfortably.

Are food and drinks available?

All major nightlife events operate bars, but food varies. SILO sells a limited snack menu and provides free water. Honey’s specializes in mead, cider, natural wine and cocktails. Brooklyn Roots Collective hosts rotating vegan vendors, while The Chocolate Factory is attached to a café. 99 Scott’s catering and food service are event-dependent.

Are events indoors or outdoors?

Both. SILO and The Chocolate Factory are primarily indoor venues. 99 Scott can use its Great Room, outdoor courtyard or both. Honey’s has indoor winery and bar areas plus a seasonal rooftop, while Brooklyn Roots Collective includes a large courtyard. Outdoor programming may continue in light rain when tenting is installed.

How early should I arrive?

Arrive 30–45 minutes before a standard concert and earlier for festivals, sold-out warehouse shows or timed-entry tickets. Scott Avenue queues can involve ID checks, bag inspection and separate wristband processing. Early arrival also gives you time to identify the correct building—an important precaution when several neighboring venues are active simultaneously.

Has anything been announced beyond 2026?

At the time of research, 99 Scott had at least one rescheduled afterparty listed for 2027, but no comprehensive 2027 season had been published for the district. Most Scott Avenue programming is announced event by event rather than as an annual season, so the live listing should be treated as the current source for future bookings.
