Elsewhere is a multi-floor music and arts venue in Bushwick, Brooklyn with three stages, a rooftop, a gallery, and an outdoor courtyard.
Three floors of dancefloors, stages, a rooftop, a gallery, a loft café, and an outdoor courtyard. Elsewhere opened on Halloween 2017 in a converted Johnson Avenue warehouse and has been running at that frequency ever since. Founders Jake Rosenthal, Rami Haykal, and Dhruv Chopra came up through Glasslands Gallery in Williamsburg, and brought the same DIY conviction to a much bigger room: stay fiercely independent, book across genre lines, and treat the people in the building like the point. The Hall, Zone One, and the Rooftop host everything from underground techno to indie rock to queer BIPOC party collectives like Papi Juice and Everyday People. The question Elsewhere keeps asking is whether a 24,000-square-foot venue can still feel like it belongs to the community that fills it.
