Free entry to a late afrobeats, soca and dancehall floor is rare in Bushwick, and this one lands right as Brooklyn's carnival season builds toward its Labor Day peak. The Sultan Room sits above the Turk's Inn, a restored supper club, with a rooftop bar upstairs when the main room gets warm. If you want to hear soca and afrobeats on a proper system without a cover, take this one.
What to expect
A mid-sized main room with a stage and dance floor, filling well after midnight, plus a rooftop bar above it for air when things get warm. The music spans afrobeats, soca, dancehall and bass, mixed rather than performed live. Entry is free, so the room turns over more than a ticketed night would.
Good to know
- L to Morgan Av, then a short walk along Bushwick Avenue.
- Free entry, though drinks are priced normally at the bar.
- The rooftop bar upstairs is the escape valve when the floor fills.
- 21 and over with photo ID at the door.
- The floor takes a while to fill, so there is no rush at the door.
- Suits anyone wanting carnival-season sounds without a cover charge.
