Output: Douchey Velvet-Rope Shitfuck Jersey Shore Cologne Tourist Trap Electro Dance Club Coming to Williamsburg
Because why should the Meatpacking District and Miami have all the ravey-glo-stick fun?
The next promising arrival is Output, a 452-person-capacity nightclub at 74 Wythe Avenue opening in the next few weeks that looks to give the neighborhood’s discerning electronic dance music contingent a place other than legally dubious warehouses and lofts to check out its favorite deejays.A source familiar with the project told The Commercial Observer that Output will be one of two venues operating under separate leases at the 11,424-square-foot building (up from 7,324 square feet after the construction of a second floor). The main club (and restaurant) will be joined by a back room and roughly 2,500 square feet of outdoor rooftop space, together accommodating up to 348 people.
As a fully licensed club with a full, legal bar and a sound system not trucked in by a rented U-Haul—the speakers are by the revered Funktion One—Output hopes to revive the city’s desiccated nightlife scene. It’s practically in a league of its own in north Brooklyn. But it should also give the few remaining biggish dance floors in Manhattan—Pacha, District 36, Santos Party House—not squeezed out by soaring rents, police raids or the post-Giuliani regulatory vise a run for their money.
Output has already positioned itself as a grownup home for Brooklyn’s underground techno and house showcases—don’t call them raves—by booking a Bunker party on February 22. Bunker, arguably the city’s premier pop-up home for recondite techno talent—has been a monthly affair held since 2007 at the 4,000-square-foot Public Assembly in Williamsburg. Time will tell if Blkmarket Membership, Mister Saturday night and Resolute—other roving Brooklyn electronic music parties in a similar vein to Bunker—will follow.

Sounds dope
….right across the street from the Brooklyn Bowl.
expect total nightmare traffic/douchejam on and around Wythe & N12 every Fri & Sat.
best Free Williamsburg headline ever, by the way.
This aint Pacha you dumb fucks. It’s run by Matar and will host underground techno parties whose crowd consists mostly of people from……BROOKLYN. They already take place around here, just not legit venues.
Tim,
It will not host “underground” parties. “Underground” parties do not happen in an established concrete space designed as a club. Maybe for the first six months or so….
..then all those uber-cool scenesters are not going to keep coming when the place gets filled up by the cologne set.
When the owners realize that they could be making $250K/night with bottle service, playing Taylor Swift 4-on-the-floor remixes, hip-hop and ‘classic 80s’: instant Pacha.
I still miss Volume.
great club. lot of fun. u don’t like it, stay home with that neutral milk hotel record. your absence is appreciated!
