This 1920s warehouse in the light-industrial grid of Gowanus showcases high-profile live music and variety, spanning indie rockers, DJ nights, comedy shows, burlesque parties and more. The handsomely converted performance area holds up to 500 beneath its timber rafters, and the little Front Lounge has flickering candles, leather armchairs and plenty of beers behind the long oak bar. No under-21s.
The Bell House regularly hosts the National Public Radio show Ask Me Another. Tickets can sell out quickly and lines can be long.
