Live Music Venues in Park Slope?

ic96 · January 2006

What live music venues are there in Park Slope? What kind of music is played?

Thanks

My faves:

Barbes on 9th Street - Cabaret, Folk, Roots, Intimate Pop, and anything that can use an accordion. Extremely enjoyable atmosphere.

Southpaw - Every conceivable genre. More boisterous that Barbes and a slightly younger crowd, but just as delicious.

Freddy's Backroom - Not in the Slope, but it's very easy to walk there. Just head north on 6th Avenue until just past the police station. Great calendar.

There are many more choices, as I'm sure you'll find in the replies.

you were wonderfully comprehensive

Tuesday nights at Barbes, the Slavic Soul Party, are pretty fun.

There's a teeny newish place on Fourth Ave (President/Union) called Spoken Word - so far mostly djs but bet some good music is going to pop up there...

and in the summer...there's the park. Free music and movies at the bandshell.

I've seen plenty of music happening in Night & Day on 5th Ave & President as of late - mostly looks like jazz combos. There's also Puppets Jazz Bar on 5th Ave and...I wanna say 2nd or 3rd, but could easily be on the crack.

There's also the Good Coffee House at the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture. The have folk, blues, bluegrass and the occasional avant garde offering.

And... The Brooklyn Museum's "First Saturdays" (It's actually called "Target First Saturday's" now, but I REFUSE to comply)

Not to be too obvious but there's also BAM

And finally, there is the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, which I've never been to, but I hear it's a great place to see music

o yeah . . . a very grown up jazz trio thing newly going on at Night and Day.

And I've heard some Brazilian stuff floating out of the little jazz bar, but only when I've had a dog with me so I haven't gone in. Is it really called Puppets?
It's near the teeney tiny music store...west side of Fifth Ave, around 2nd St.

Yup - it's really called Puppets.

Great Lakes also books bands on a pretty regular basis.

Be sure you check out Stephane Wrembel when he's at Barbe's. Jazz guitarist in the style of Django Reinhardt with a lot of other influences. Absolutely brilliant musician.

Hanks, on Atlantic and Third, also does nice greasy rock music. Not really the Slope, I know, but it's pretty fun.

That Hank's Guest was me. While I'm veering to the West, there's also the Lyceum on Fouth and Union, which does a fair bit of avant-garde stuff, as well as the Grand Prospect Hall on the Prospect Expressway (ish) and Fifth, which does, um, ballroon dancing
