Industry City has become Brooklyn's easiest good night out — food halls, courtyards and taprooms strung across old warehouse buildings — and a free live set at Gun Hill Brewing gives the evening a center of gravity. The Bronx-born brewery pours a deep list of its own beers while The Bureau plays, and the complex's courtyards and food vendors are steps away for before and after. Zero cover, maximum ease.
What to expect
A band playing the taproom at Building 6 through the evening, with the brewery's full pour list flowing and Industry City's food-hall options within a two-minute walk. Tables go fast once the music starts; the courtyards absorb the overflow on warm nights.
Good to know
- Take the D/N/R to 36th Street; Industry City is two blocks toward the water
- The music is free — beer and food are pay-as-you-go
- Gun Hill Brewing is in Building 6 at 68 34th Street
- Industry City's food halls and courtyards make it easy to arrive early and eat first
- The complex is all-ages, though the taproom crowd skews adult in the evening
