Since May 2012, we have been discussing a jazz and blues club that is planned for 960 Atlantic Ave, between Grand and Washington:

http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/three-more-places-near-us-want-to-become-bars

To get you up to speed:

A liquor lic has already been granted, and construction on the large site has been consistently underway.

It appears as if it could open as early as this summer. Hence, I decided to give it a thread of its very own. This venue will be located in just over the PH/CH border, in Crown Heights.

Here's a photo from a few years ago:

This will be a large venue, with a total capacity of around 175 people.

The first floor will feature live music, the second floor will feature space for private events.

Based on the amount of money they are investing in the place and the finishes, they are going for a high end clientele.

For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

I'm watching this with interest. As a longtime jazz fan (and I don't mean Kenny G), I would love to have a good club nearby. Most of the other Brooklyn jazz clubs I've tried have mediocre, amateurish acts (but are quick to charge admission prices that rival Manhattan clubs featuring world-class talent), so I'm accustomed to going to Manhattan to Dizzy's Club, Village Vanguard, Birdland, Small's, etc. to see genuine music.

As always, thanks for getting the scoop, whynot.

This thread caused Emily at Brownstoner to take this picture yesterday:

Construction is moving along. Thanks Emily!

I perceive Brownstoner and I as having mutually a beneficial relationship.

I try not to mess such things up.

P.S. I do wonder why she didn't take a shot through the glass door. The only progress you can really see from comparing the two photos are new windows on the second floor, yet far more has happened.

Yea, Epic is right. You should at least get a commission...or maybe a free cheeseburger and Jimi Hendrix LP at the Brooklyn Flea.
