SG Lewis makes house records built for the hour when the room has stopped checking the time, and this is a full-venue takeover that runs to 4 AM rather than a tidy 90-minute set. Elsewhere enforces a phone-free dance floor, so nobody is filming and everyone is actually dancing. If you have been meaning to have a real Bushwick night out instead of a two-drink one, this is your weekend.
What to expect
Elsewhere is a warren of connected rooms off Johnson Avenue, and a full-venue night means you can wander between floors as the energy shifts. Expect a long queue at the door around midnight, a serious sound system, and a crowd committed enough to still be there when the lights come up.
Good to know
- Take the L to Jefferson St or Morgan Ave; both leave a short walk through the Bushwick warehouse blocks.
- This is 21 and over and the door requires a valid, unexpired physical government ID or foreign passport. Photocopies are refused.
- Elsewhere operates a phone-free dance floor, so expect to have your camera covered on entry.
- The night runs into the early morning; plan your ride home before you go, since L service thins out late.
- Wear something you can sweat in and shoes you can stand in for hours.

Common questions
Is there an age restriction?
Yes, the event is 21 and over. You need a valid physical US government-issued ID or a foreign passport; expired IDs and photocopies are not accepted.
Can I take photos inside?
Elsewhere runs a phone-free dance floor for this kind of night, so plan on your phone camera being covered when you enter.
How late does it go?
The listing runs the night through to 4 AM, so it is a genuine late-night rather than an early show.
