New York's favorite news anchor (and LIVE! with Kelly guest-host) Pat Kiernan took to the Bell House stage last night for a night of 90s themed trivia—he's been hosting these always sold-out trivia nights for months now, and you can expect more 90s nights in the future. Kiernan had joined forces with sponsor TrivWorks in three previous events—one of them benefiting VH1's Save The Music campaign—before an audience poll selected the evening's 90s theme. For his grand entrance last night, he sauntered in to the tune of his favorite 90's hit, "I Want It That Way," dressed in casual attire and adorned with his very own Britney Spears mic. more ›

Next week the Bell House will be hosting a marathon screening of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia," and they're going all out by transforming the space into Paddy's Pub ("canned wine and all"). We contacted Charlie Day (one of the show's stars, as well as an Apes & Androids fan) to see what he thought about all of this, and to finally settle the score on Philly's sometimes 6th borough claim—of which he told us, "If you can't get there with a MetroCard, it's not a borough." Sorry Philly! more ›

One of the (many) new venues taking root in Gowanus will be opening its doors this week. Back in June we checked in on the progress of The Bell House (run by Union Hall and Floyd owners Jim Carden and Andy Templar, along with Union Hall booker Jack McFadden). To recap, there will be a huge bar in the performance space as well as a front lounge bar, and an entrance to each will be located in a foyer that connects the two. Located at 149 7th Street between 2nd & 3rd Avenues, the venue was was crafted out of an old 1920’s warehouse once used as a printing press. more ›
