This fall Gowanus gets another venue! Located at 622 Degraw Street, this one is called Littlefield and will be housed in an old, 6200-square-foot warehouse renovated with an eco-friendly touch. They tell us "Green elements include a landscaped interior courtyard, sound walls formed from recycled rubber tires, and a bar constructed of salvaged bowling alley lanes."
Expect live music, film screenings, and art installations from the owners, Julie Kim and Scott Koshnoodi, as well as talent buyers (who include FrictionNYC's Justin Carl and Nghia Nguyen). A moveable partition is designed to separate the main performance space from the bar/courtyard, to give each area an intimate feel. "When the partition is fully closed, the performance space can accommodate up to 200 people while the bar/courtyard can hold up to 100. For larger performances, the partition can be moved to one side and the warehouse can accommodate up to 300 people."
These are the first images to come out (enlarged floor plan here), and the group has also made some cryptic Blair Witch/Cloverfield-esque videos (watch one here).

Interesting how after decades of being an unattractive, tenement neighborhood - how it is finally be built up and becoming in demand.
It appears that the creative Brooklyn Heights crowd is aggressively moving southward to find space.
The Gowanus is and has been for decades a thriving business area and does not need the injection of noise polluting rock club to give it a boost. The Gowanus is a wonderful mixture of residential and family owned businesses. This is yet another example of the current trend of tasteless over development fueled by greed. This is exactly what is destroying the quality of life and charm of Brooklyn. This is not what Brooklyn needs.
A loud rock club with no roof in a quiet neighborhood in Brooklyn, I don’t think so. Community board 6 and the DOB (department of buildings) are really very vigilant about protecting the people and neighborhoods of Brooklyn.
