Best dj & electronic venues in Brooklyn
Brooklyn is the engine of New York dance music, and it runs on Bushwick and East Williamsburg warehouses. Elsewhere on Johnson Ave is the headquarters — three rooms and a rooftop that can hold a live set, a club night, and a sunrise simultaneously. 3 Dollar Bill on Meserole is the borough's flagship queer warehouse, booking the scene first; Mood Ring on Myrtle is the small, sweaty astrology-bar floor everyone ends up at. Crown Heights and Prospect-Lefferts add looser, all-welcome dance spots like Friends and Lovers. We stay with the underground over the bottle-service rooms — resident DJs, queer and POC-led nights, and floors built for house, techno, and disco. This list is curated and refreshed as Brooklyn clubs open, move, and change their programming, so it tracks the scene as it actually is tonight.
