Satellite Lounge Grand Opening Tonight
Via NYMag:
Rob Sacher ‚Äî who owned Luna Lounge on Ludlow Street before moving it to Williamsburg and then leasing the space to the Knitting Factory, which is expected to open this summer ‚Äî has soft-opened Satellite Lounge in Williamsburg. He describes it, in the humblest of terms, as a neighborhood bar, and insists there’s nothing really special about it, though there are three pinball games and foosball might be coming. What’ll draw people to the venue, located in an old hardware store, is his connection with local musicians ‚Äî TV on the Radio drummer Jaleel Bunton has already popped in, and Longwave threw an after-party there after last week’s Webster Hall show. ‚”I love being in Williamsburg for the same reason I loved being on Ludlow Street in 1995,” says Sacher. ‚”There were 30,000 musicians on the block.”
So there’s no live music scheduled at this 70 person capacity bar, but there is a $5 beer & shot special. As for music, we’re not worried– from Brooklyn Rocks:
Given Rob’s years in the local music scene, I would expect the bar to have a fabulous jukebox.
Party starts @ 10pm tonight, and again tomorrow– same time, same place.
Satellite Lounge, 143 Havemeyer St. (btwn S 1st & S 2nd)
