About
The joy of radical music, for all and forever
Elsewhere is a multi-room music venue, nightclub, and arts space in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Our focus is underground and unbound music, presented with love. Since 2017, Elsewhere’s three stories of dancefloors and stages have been home to expansive sonic offerings for all New Yorkers to explore. We are and will forever remain fiercely independent.
We’re building a movement for a more progressive and uplifting culture by spreading the joy of radical music, for all and forever
Vibe together, thrive together
Elsewhere is for everyone. We create spaces and experiences that bring people together.
Underground and unbound
We believe the future of culture knows no genre. Here you’ll find rockstars and rappers, metalheads and ravers, vinyl nerds and punks, folk singers, old-school house heads, baile funk crowds, hyperpop producers and probably everything else.
Soulful nights
Transcendent music reminds us that a better world is possible. We try to spread that feeling every night. Discover new artists, meet friends & lovers, celebrate music and leave your day behind.
Come as you are
"I’m so grateful for Elsewhere, as both a performer and concertgoer. The staff puts a ton of effort into making every show safe and enjoyable for everyone. The space is incredibly versatile - it can be warm and intimate and also a sprawling club for late night adventure. I’ve loved my experiences performing, and of course rolling up regularly to catch my friends’ DJ sets - it’s always a great time."
Cutting our teeth
The team behind Elsewhere has deep roots in the Brooklyn music community, stretching back to our first venue Glasslands in Williamsburg - an early-2000’s first-thought-best-thought experiment in art & partying. Our staff is made up of culture lifers who have formed the fabric of the NYC music community for decades.
Since opening on Halloween in 2017, we’ve hosted thousands of artists, presented over 20,000 hours of live music, and staged over 600 events each year.
Memorable Nights
October 31 2017
We were barely done with construction when we opened our doors for the first time on Halloween 2017, welcoming the community back after a few years without a home venue, for a costume party and performances from BATTLES, Combo Chimbita, Cakes Da Killa and many others. Now we celebrate our anniversary on Halloween every year.

"Loving Elsewhere for giving me a space to hold my crazy line ups and believing in my vision, treating all of the artists really well, and having the best staff ever including security, sound, bar and door."
House Rules
Our venue is intended to be a haven for music, art, expression, and free play – and we need your help to keep it that way. Most importantly, we stand with all those who demand complete freedom from hatred, harassment, and discrimination in our city’s venues and nightclubs. Let’s work together to keep each other safe:
