So I was reading ILoveFranklinAvenue's blog and someone mentioned in a comment a place called the Red Lotus Room. In googling, all I can find is three things: 1. It's at 893 Bergen (between Classon and Franklin) 2. It's mentioned twice on 4-square as a place people are 3. It is called the Red Lotus Room Cabaret one of those times. Anyone know what it is? Is it a club that hosts parties? A venue for performances? A bar that is secret? Anyone know anything? Thanks!

Ok, the person commented again since people didn't know what it was. From ILoveFranklinAvenue (comments section):: Julia said... Yea there isn't anything on it. It looks like a garage door, but when you go inside, it's beautiful! 893 Bergen (between Classon and Franklin) I don't think it's open for people to just walk in, it's just for parties. Here are some future parties there (copied and pasted from dances of vice): EVENT: "Mood Indigo" Harlem Renaissance Retrospective TIME & DATE: March 20, 2010 @ 9PM LOCATION: The Red Lotus Room, 893 Bergen St, Brooklyn ADMISSION: $15 Adv, $20 Doors ($15 for Wonderland guests) Featuring: Adriel Azure & His Dream Indigo Orchestra, the dapper MC Dandy Wellington, burlesque beauty and chanteuse Dulce de Leche, and tap sensation Jen Minsky of The Minsky Sisters. More TBA. EVENT: "The Dada Revue" TIME & DATE: April 17, 2010 @ 9PM LOCATION: The Red Lotus Room, 893 Bergen St, Brooklyn ADMISSION: $15 Adv, $20 Doors Featuring: BudZillus, The Flying Fox, Muffinhead the Exclamationist, Medianoche and more TBA. Shanghai Mermaid also does alot of parties there. Two weekends ago, they had a big Chinese ball/festival. I went to a cool party called BONZAI and it was EPIC. Awesome artwork, awesome performances. I tried to search flickr, but all I could find was this dark, don't tell you much, photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/kevinlmuth/4404870885/ Erm, thats all I can say for now, it's REALLY underground.(as you can tell) Wish I knew more! OH. if you search around on that guys flickr, you can see more pictures of the space. :] So, I guess there's my answer.

I went last Saturday and it was fabulous!
snowboarding, photography, films, art, counter culture, alternative -
Not sure if this is the place I went a few years ago for a PsyTrance Rave. No that was actually between Classon & Washington, my bad. Geez, 7 years in the hood & I still don't know these street names.

Here's an upcoming event:
Red Lotus Room -
This "underground" night club is now for sale. It can be yours for $1.2M ...it will soon be next door to "Smorgasbergen"
You can buy it and hope that you get a variance to build a residence on the property:

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